"When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting, and so get to the bottom of the subject..."

Appearing on the market for the first time since it was gifted by Sir #winstonchurchill to his bodyguard Sergeant Edmund Murray, The Goldfish Pool at Chartwell is the final work that Britain’s greatest war-time leader ever painted. The work depicts the beloved goldfish pool in the garden of Churchill and his wife Clementine’s home at Chartwell – the place most closely linked to his development as a painter. A unique and moving insight into his final years, The Goldfish Pool at Chartwell will be offered with an estimate of £50,000-80,000, as part of Sotheby’s Modern & Post-War British Art Evening Sale in London on 21 November.
