Piano Nobile

Red Lion Square & Fitzroy Street
In 1914, Sickert set up new studios in Red Lion Square, Holborn, first at number 24 and then next door at number 26. He installed a printing press at No. 26, which became a productive site for painting and etching war-related compositions. In August 1915, Sickert moved into ‘Whistler’s old studio’ at 8 Fitzroy Street. Whistler had taken the studio in March 1896, and Grant took over from Sickert in 1920; it was destroyed by bombing in 1940.
