Helen Wills Moody (1905-1998) SELF PORTRAIT ON THE TENNIS COURT Signed, original pencil & watercolour drawing, 37.5 by 34.5cm., 15 by 13 1/2in. The image has been completed on what appears to be a piece of watercolour board which has a further landscape drawing by her on the reverse. Interestingly, there is also a hand written note which reads, ''Reserved for Mr. Macauley''. This may well be Lt. Col. A.D.C. 'Duncan' Macaulay (O.B.E.) an author and journalist who was once Secretary/Chief Executive to the All England Club, Wimbledon. Accompanied by a press photograph showing Helen Wills Moody at the Bernheim Art Galleries in Paris, at an exhibition of her work in 1932.
