Franklin White was born in Australia and came to Britain in 1913. In 1915 he entered the Slade School. During the war he worked at the Admiralty making drawings in the Airship department during the First World War until 1919. After the war he re-entered the Slade and was shortly invited by Professor Tonks to join the teaching staff where he remained until he retired in 1957. Once retired Franklin White turned his full attention to the Samuel Palmer School of Art, which had been operating at his home in Shoreham since 1924 for his Slade students. Exhibited in various mixed exhibitions including the Redfern and Agnews Galleries and at the New English Art Club and other famous institutions. In 1962 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother purchased ‘Regina’ from the exhibition at the Maidstone Museum. Another purchase was made by Noel Coward. Original watercolour measuring 10 x 13.5", in excellent condition. Unsigned. Provenance: the artist's studio sale.
