Churchill’s last portrait: Winston Churchill made his final appearance in the House of Commons on 28 July 1964, six decades after first taking his seat in the chamber on Valentine’s Day, 1901. The 28-year-old artist Gerald Scarfe was commissioned by The Times to record the occasion, but the paper refused to print this image, out of fear of upsetting Churchill’s wife, Clementine. The artist recalled ‘I sketched from the public gallery, and I was shocked to see how he had deteriorated. We knew only the British bulldog Churchill: cigar clenched between teeth, steely eyes, and the famous two-finger salute…’ This historic portrait, one of the last drawn of Churchill from life, is now included in Sotheby’s sale of over 130 sketches from Gerald Scarfe’s personal collection on 5 April, including over 70 satirical cartoons and drawing’s for Disney’s #Hercules and Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’. #Churchill #SothebysBooks #GeraldScarfe #ScarfeAtSothebys
