Ian Rank-Broadley is one of the foremost sculptors working today. His effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II appears on all UK and Commonwealth coinage from 1998. He has numerous other public works, including at the Armed Forces Memorial. Most recently, he created from life portraits of King Charles and the Queen.
Michael Leonard, (British 1933-2023), Three Disciples, 1960, Pen and Indian ink, gouache and wash on paperboard, signed and dated (lower right), 73cm x 54cm, (87cm x 68cm framed), price on request
Created whilst still in his 20s, during this period Michael drew on the themes of myth, religion and ancient Greece for the subjects in his pictures. This picture was acquired by a friend of Michael's shortly after it was created, and was retained in the family until very recently.

Schindler traveled throughout Europe during his early life and, by 1895, had visited Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Italy. His work draws on classicism but also German Romanticism, often depicting vital young muscular men surrounded out in the countryside. In 1897, Schindler designed the poster for Dresden’s International Art Exhibition and, in 1900, was appointed a professor at the Dresden Art Academy. There he taught life modeling and draftsmanship, a position which he held for the remainder of his life.
