Wartime leader’s orchid painting to go on display in London

A painting by Winston Churchill that used to hang at his home in Chartwell, is going under the hammer at auction and expected to raise up to £750,000.

The former Prime Minister, who led Britain to victory during the Second World War, was an avid artist and his work has long been praised by experts.

Now Still Life With Orchids is set to underline his talents when it comes up for auction during an art fair in London.

Experts describe the work as “technically accomplished” and will be available to view before being sold.

The painting by the wartime leader had been owned by Margot Sandys. She was the wife of Churchill’s daughter’s father-in-law. The paiting was passed to her by Churchill in 1936.

She had originally seen the painting at Chartwell - the sprawling country house in west Kent where Churchill lived and which is now a National Trust property.

The painting will go on show at the MacConnal-Mason Gallery at Masterpiece, an art fair staged from June 28 to July 4 at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Bids will be taken during the fair.
