Rodney Burn studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, afterwards working as a lecturer in painting at the Royal College of Art.

His sun-filled depiction of the King’s Road in London brings together delightful character studies with a wonderfully convincing view of the architecture.

The Belesha Beacons shown in the painting were only introduced in this country in 1934. They were named after Leslie Hore-Belisha, who was Minister of Transport, and were a relatively recent invention at the time that this picture was painted.

Pritchards, which sold antiques, was located at 531–533 King's Road.
