Portrait of Sir Edward Brantwood Maufe

This portrait was commissioned by Maufe in 1940 and was sold in 1977 after his death. In a letter to the auctioneers, the artist, known only as Gluck, explained that the background to the portrait was the signed original sketch made by Maufe that won him the Guildford Cathedral competition in 1932, while the architect is seen with a plan of the cathedral in front of him. Maufe designed Gluck's studio in London in 1931.
