Catalogue Note
Whilst Bellany recovered from his pioneering liver transplant he and his wife Helen lived in the small village of Little Everden, just a short journey away from Addenbrook's Hospital in Cambridge. During his time in Cambridgeshire Bellany painted a series of works of his neighbour Sarah Webb and the interior of her village cottage. A number of these works were given by the artist to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge including Portrait of Sarah and Portrait of Sarah with Aga, both painted in 1990.
