Presentation Portrait of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, 1928

A full-length portrait of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig of Ypres (1861โ€“1928), photographed by Bassano in full dress uniform with baton in hand. The mount is signed by Dorothy, Dowager Countess Haig in 1928 and inscribed to HMS Spey, a P-class sloop of the Royal Navy.

This work reflects both Haigโ€™s enduring legacy and Lady Haigโ€™s tireless commitment to veteransโ€™ welfare after his death. It was acquired by the Rory Lewis Non Profit in 2025 as the first historical piece in the foundationโ€™s archive, now housed at the Rory Lewis Studio in Los Angeles.
