Wolmark took his subjects from the whole range of portraits, landscape, still life and nudes. Portrait sketches were a feature of his work and many important cultural figures sat for him, including Thomas Hardy, Somerset Maugham and Aldous Huxley. His self portraits gave him room to experiment with different ways of painting including the softer, more impressionist style in the present work.
