Cyril J Ross's portrait of Polish-Jewish emigre painter Alfred Wolmark (1877-1961) shows his sitter towards the end of his life. Wolmark was closely associated with Ben Uri and a long-standing Vice-President from 1923-56, while Ross also served a long period as Ben Uri's Treasurer and the two men would have known each other well. Wolmark appears in many other portraits in the collection covering most of his career including an early Self-Portrait (1902), a small cameo portrait mischievously included in the background (upper left) of his monumental painting, The Last Days of Rabbi ben Ezra (1905), a dandified portrait by Ernest Borough-Johnson (c. 1909-15), a caricature in Alfred Adrian Wolfe's cartoon of the 1917 art committee, and in another later portrait by Polish-Jewish émigré Max Sokol (c. 1939).
