Carved patinated primavera wood

This life size effigy is likely to have been used in religious processions. A hole in the neck indicates that for such occasions clothes would have been attached; the head is hollowed out from the back to reduce the weight.

Generally poor condition
The pilot wears (oddly interpreted) RAF flying kit - the figure next to him is a Polish Army officer as the PAF did not wear Konfederatka's (a square-topped cap). The cap top left looks like a US Navy sailor. Below is Sikh.
Pencil sketches to the margins include caricatures of General de Gaule.
It is unknown if this usual design commission was realized.
We are grateful to Andrew Cormack FSA Keeper of Medals, Uniforms and Visual Arts, RAF Hendon, for assistance.

This creator of this painting is currently unknown. The composition and palette have much in common with the work of Reginald Brill.
The scarcity of television aerials on the sky line dates this picture to the late 1940's, prior to the Queen Coronation (which resulted in the mass installation of televisions).

This striking portrait bears many similarities with the self-portraits of Edgar Holloway of the mid 1930's , such as The Top Hat and The Turban and The Grey Topper.
We are grateful to Robert Meyrick and Jennifer Holloway for assistance.
