Graham Sutherland works on curtains for Coventry Cathedral. Menton, date unknown

In his Menton studio, Graham Sutherland contemplates a large-scale study for the curtains of Coventry Cathedral. Dressed in a dark shirt and patterned neckerchief, he holds a cigarette to his lips, his gaze directed towards the dramatic, multi-panelled artwork. The raw, expressive piece features a central section with two colossal, stylized human feet and a slender nude figure. Below this scene, a smaller panel propped against the main work depicts a mythical creature, while the right side shows a dynamic, horned animal. An easel stands nearby in the workshop-like space.
