Description:
John Saint-Helier Lander (Jersey 1868-1944 Surrey) Lilita oil on canvas signed verso - 'John St Helier Lander'-'Lilita' 132 x 82 cm. Provenance: Born in St Helier in 1868 to the Son of a boot maker, Lander showed promise as a painter from an early age and was given his first 'Real box of paints’ by the actress Lillie Langtry. At the age of 16 he travelled to London with an introduction to John Everett Millais (1829-1896), studying first at Frank Calderon’s school of animal painting in Hampstead and then at the Royal Academy Schools. Returning to Jersey in 1892 he became Art master at the ladies College and set up a Studio in St Helier. He became a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy of Jersey subjects, specialising in portraiture, painting local Jersey people as well as many of the first World War’s leading military figures. Other portraits: Sir F.H Thornton, Guy Repton, Clementina Anstruther Thomson
