Lady Lavery Memorial Bequest through Sir John Lavery, 1935.
Object number735
DescriptionIn 1916 David Lloyd George became Prime Minister of the coalition government. As a member of the British delegation who negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty, his portrait is among those presented to the Hugh Lane Collection. This is one of two portraits of him, the second was painted in 1935. Although a good likeness of Lloyd George, its sketchy style distinguishes it from the later more highly wrought work.(Catalogue Entry [20]: Hazel, Lady Lavery Society and Politics, Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, 18 September - 3 November 1996, p. 222)
