View Lot Notes › Robert Bevan often worked in Poland between 1899 and 1910, staying with the family of his wife, Stanislawa de Karlowska, at their estate in Szeliwy, near Lowicz. The son of the artist, Robert A. Bevan, writes: 'During these years Bevan developed a strong feeling for Poland and the Poles ... One can say that Poland wakened in my father a very intense affection, a romantic sympathy that is reflected in much of the work of these early years. He was never happier than when he was working in Poland and living among Poles' (see R.A. Bevan, Robert Bevan 1865-1925: A memoir by his son, London, 1965, pp. 12-13).
