Philip Wilson Steer

Philip Wilson Steer (1860-1942), Painter.

Steer and Sickert, closely associated as leading figures of the avant-garde, exhibited portraits of each other at the New English Art Club in 1890. This is one of the pair; that of Sickert is now lost. Steer sits in front of Sickert's full-length Portrait of Miss Fancourt which is also lost.
