Dame Laura Knight was an English artist who worked in oils, watercolours, etching, engraving and drypoint. Knight was a painter in the figurative, realist tradition, who embraced English Impressionism. In her long career, Knight was among the most successful and popular painters in Britain.

Her large retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1965 was the first for a woman. Knight was known for painting amidst the world of the theatre and ballet in London, and for being a war artist during the Second World War.

Léon Georges Jean-Baptiste Carré was a French Orientalist painter and illustrator known for his contribution to the Fauvist movement.
Carré's style was characterized by bright colours and bold strokes. He sought to express his emotions and convey the essence of the subject through intense and unnatural colours. Carré's paintings often depicted landscapes, still lifes and portraits.
Léon Carré also experimented with other artistic movements such as Cubism and Post-Impressionism. This allowed him to develop a unique artistic language which combined elements of different currents.
