John Marsden Dronsfield (19001951) was an English-born graphic artist, painter, and stage designer who became a prominent figure in the South African art scene. Born in Lancashire, he was largely self-taught, having only briefly studied at the Manchester School of Art. Following his death by suicide in 1951, several memorial exhibitions were held in Cape Town, and his poetry was published posthumously by the Oxford University Press. His art is preserved in major institutions, including the South African National Art Gallery and the Africana Museum. The card substrate has become brittle with some chipping to the edges and some cracking to the right hand edge. Dimensions: 30 x 35cm.
