About this Item
Notes
Hennie Roos was the younger brother of Paul Roos, one of the first South African Springbok rugby union captains, who led the first South African rugby team to tour overseas – to Britain in 1906.
Even though this work is not signed, it is Strauss & Co's considered opinion that this is a work by Hugo Naudé and is attributed as such.
Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist by the current owner's grandfather, Hennie Roos while living in Wellington, and thence by descent.
