This is the Signed unique original Gouache painting by Andrew Howat.
Two original illustrations used to illustrate the incident in 1961 when a retired London bus driver, Kempton Bunton, allegedly stole Goya's painting of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square London.
He stole the painting by putting it under his coat and walking out of the gallery. He returned the painting some months later and much later - in 1969 - his son John admitted to the theft.
Illustrated here is the theft and a depiction of the original Goya painting. They are mounted together and professionally framed. Professionally matted and framed.
Andrew Howat; Hale, UK Born in Hale, Cheshire, Howat studied life drawing, anatomy and painting at Manchester School of Art.
Andrew Howat has contributed a wide variety of work to Look and Learn. In the late 1970s, he was one of the key artists providing features on the rear cover, including the miscellaneous strip 'Strange Facts' and episodes of the 'Land of Legend' and 'Crowning Glory' series.
After his move to London he worked at a commercial studio before linking up with fellow artists Bob Robins and Gordon Davidson to produce illustrations for magazines and books. The trio often signed their work 'RDH'.
Howat later worked for various London advertising agencies as well as freelancing as a designer of greetings cards. He continues to design cards featuring landscapes and views of London as well as to paint landscapes in watercolour and pastel around London and Hertfordshire.
One of his paintings of the Palace of Westminster was used as a Christmas card by the House of Commons in 1999. He currently lives in north London.
