Artwork Title: The Royal Academy Selection and Hanging Committee

The Royal Academy Selection and Hanging Committee, 1938

Frederick William Elwell

Artists have appeared in their own paintings for many reasons over the centuries. Painters produce self portraits, or depict themselves as figures in a scene in which they would naturally appear; Frederick William Ewell can be seen [brushes and palette in hand] at the far left of this group portrait of artistic contemporaries, for example.
