Condition In fine condition.Biography David Louis Ghilchik (7 April 1892 – 24 November 1972), was a Romanian-British painter, and cartoonist for Punch Magazine and the Daily Sketch. His surname is sometimes wrongly given as 'Ghilchip'. He was born in Botoșani, Romania, the son of Abraham Josef Ghilchik, who traded in lace and linen, and his wife Sali. The family settled in Salford, England, in 1920, where Ghilchik enrolled at the Manchester School of Art and studied under Adolphe Valette from 1907 to 1915. At the School he met fellow student Josephine Matley Duddle (1890–1981), marrying her in Chelsea in the last quarter of 1915. Their daughter Sybil became an opera singer with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.[1] Ghilchik continued his studies at the Slade School of Fine Art under Henry Tonks and Ambrose McEvoy. During World War I Ghilchik served as a truck driver on the Italian front. He took part in the Art competitions at the 1928 Summer Olympics and 1932 Summer Olympics, competing for Great Britain in the mixed painting, drawing and watercolour categories. He also exhibited his oil paintings widely, notably at the Royal Academy, the New English Art Club and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. His style is thought to have been influenced by Christopher Wood. Ghilchik died in Poplar, London, on 24 November 1972. Afterwards, his wife emigrated to Australia at age 90, and died in Mosman, Sydney, the following year.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods.
