1. Artist Sickert and Wife on the occasion of the Leicester Gallery Show, and that works of his were to represent British Art at the Louvre; Francis Tailleux also showing at the Leicester 1938.

2. William Roberts' satirical portrait of WRS in bed painting from newspaper photographs, "He Knew Degas".

3. That WRS , disguised as a seaman, visited and abused his own show at the Redfern, "Crimey! What is it?"

4. WRS in front of "The Raising of Lazarus", a report of his offering to teach art to boys at a school at Broadstairs.

 

Denton Welch, on a visit to Sickert , in an early article (1942) noted that the artist was adept at disguise and becoming a different character ( a Turk, a Fisherman) in the streets, implying he would sustain the role for many days. Sickert had been a promising professional actor in his youth, and never really abandoned the tendency to go in character.
