Before World War I British painter Russell Reeve studied in his hometown at the Norwich School of Art and after the war at the Slade School of Art. During the First World War, while a Lieutenant with the Royal Engineers in France, his drawings came to the attention of Eric Kennington and William Rothenstein, who was later Principal of the Royal College of Art. Reeve was a landscape and animal painter, and portraitist who worked in watercolors and oil, and did also some etchings. He also painted abroad doing conventional landscapes, such as his picture of Cadaques, Port Algue, Spain.
