During WWII he accepted a commission from the War Artists Advisory Committee and was stationed in Florence, Capua and Rimini. This portrait was painted in 1945, over twenty-two sittings.

Ex collection Valla Buxton (student at Camberwell School of Art, where Coldstream was teaching)

‘Got in a mess with the portrait of the Jamaican. Felt so dissatisfied with it when I started working with him this morning because the colours and tone are so wrong + felt I had been too timid with the darks that I painted over most of what I had done. This is usually fatal + only a step towards scrapping a picture. However, as I have had this man kept back for two days from a posting, I must do what I can in the last sittings.’ (William Coldstream Catalogue Raisonne by Dr Peter T J Rumley.)
