"Henry Lamb was one of the leading British figurative painters of the first part of the 20th century. He was also an accomplished musician, trained as a doctor, and enjoyed a reputation as a well-read and erudite conversationalist. A close friend of Augustus John, patron of Stanley Spencer, and allied with members of the Bloomsbury Group, he was a founder member of the Camden Town Group in 1911. Portraiture played an important role in his career as a painter, but his townscapes and landscapes as well as his early subject pictures of Ireland and Brittany and his work in both World Wars reveal him to have been a painter of considerable range and talent."

| Henry Lamb The Doler ca. 1922 oil on canvas Poole Museum, Dorset |
"Lamb moved to Poole in 1922, party to convalesce after military service in the First World War. Two major influences on his work during his time in Poole were Stanley Spencer, who frequently visited him there, and Augustus John, a close friend and his former teacher at the Chelsea School of Art. Painted at a time of high unemployment, this portrait suggests the sitter's bitterness at being on the "dole."
