MW9P George Heath Esq. 1982 print by Maurice Wade published 2026

George Heath Esq., 1982 — Maurice Wade (1917–1991) A striking figurative work from 1982, George Heath Esq. demonstrates Maurice Wade's range beyond landscape. Wade brought the same careful observation to portraiture and figure studies as he did to the industrial scenes and countryside of the Potteries — finding dignity and character in his subjects. George Heath Esq. is a compelling example of Wade's ability to capture personality with economy and warmth.
