About the Item

An original lithograph by artist Sarah Churchill daughter of Winston Churchill. This piece is called "My Father's Chair". This work comes in an archival framing presentation. The lithograph is hand signed and numbered 79/300. This work comes with a COA and appraisal for $3,500.00 Sarah Churchill (1914-1982); the daughter of Winston and Clementine Churchill was an actress and artist. In the 1970s she published commercially a series of intaglio prints by Curtis Hooper entitled, "A Visual Philosophy of Sir Winston Churchill". Each were composed from famous photographs, except for one based on a sketch of her father by Sarah. Each print has a particular Churchill quotation and is signed by Sarah in pencil. They are numbered and embossed with the Churchill Coat of Arms and each has a different embossed image by Sarah Churchill. Sarah Millicent Hermione Tuchet-Jesson, Baroness Audley, usually known as Sarah Churchill, was a British actress and dancer. Sarah Churchill was born in London, England, the second daughter of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Clementine Churchill; she was the third of the couple's five children and was named after Winston's ancestor, Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. She was educated at Notting Hill High School as a day girl and later at North Foreland Lodge as a boarder. Churchill married three times: - Victor Oliver von Samek A comedian and musician known as Vic Oliver (1936–1945) (divorced) - Anthony Beauchamp (1949–1957) (widowed) - Thomas Percy Henry Touchet-Jesson, 23rd Baron Audley (1962–1963) (widowed) It has been both stated and confirmed by multiple sources, including Sarah Churchill's own sister, Lady Mary Soames, that Winston and Clementine Churchill neither liked nor approved of Sarah's first two husbands. Towards the end of her marriage to Vic Oliver, she began an affair with the American ambassador to Britain, John Winant; it is believed the failure of the relationship contributed to the depression that led to his suicide in 1947. Only Sarah's third marriage to Baron Henry Audley (the love of her life, it was said) was greeted with warm approval by both parents. During World War II, Churchill joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). In her account of the work of photo reconnaissance Evidence in Camera Constance Babington Smith records that she was with them and worked closely on the interpretation of photographs for the 1942 invasion of North Africa, Operation Torch. Known by the name Sarah Oliver, Babington Smith says she was "a quick and versatile interpreter." Aspects of Churchill's wartime service are also described in detail in Women of Intelligence: Winning the Second World War with Air Photos. American author Christopher Ogden's biography of Pamela Harriman and other sources indicate that during the war she had an affair with (married) US Ambassador John Gilbert Winant, and that it ended badly. Winant committed suicide in 1947. In numerous books about the Churchill family, it is said that Clementine (despite her disapproval) managed to be polite to both Vic Oliver and Anthony Beauchamp after Sarah had married them, but Winston Churchill remained rather cold and hostile toward both, considering them to be self-centered, superficial types who ultimately did not make his beloved Sarah either happy or fulfilled. Sarah's marriage to Beauchamp in America in 1949 came as a shock to her parents since they had neither been introduced to Beauchamp nor informed of the forthcoming marriage. Despite her stubborn rebellion against the expectations of both parents, Sarah reportedly felt guilty about this for the rest of her life, since she had craved her father's approval in most matters. Churchill is best known for her role in the film Royal Wedding (1951) as Anne Ashmond, romantic interest of Fred Astaire as Tom Bowen. In the same year, she had her own television show. She also appeared in He Found a Star (1941), All Over the Town (1949), Fabian of the Yard (1954) and Serious Charge (1959). Churchill appeared in a London revival of Shaw’s Pygmalion in the 1950s, but drink had become a problem. She was arrested for making a scene in the street on a number of occasions and even spent a short spell on remand in Holloway Prison. She is very frank about this in her 1981 autobiography Keep on Dancing. She appeared on both the Jack Benny radio and television programs. On television, she appeared on the episode "How Jack Met Rochester." In 1961, she appeared as Rosalind in Shakespeare's As You Like It at the Pembroke-in-the-round Theatre in West Croydon. Her parents were noted as paying a surprise visit to watch her performance. In 1964 Sarah became romantically involved with African-American émigré jazz singer and painter Lobo Nocho, and there were reports that the two might marry. Her father was also believed to have disapproved of this relationship. Sarah Churchill died on 24 September 1982 at the age of 67. She is buried with her parents and siblings at St Martin's Church, Bladon, near Woodstock, Oxfordshire.
