The present lot is dedicated to Jean Monro, a renowned interior designer who had a studio on Montpelier Street, Knightsbridge. The designer is celebrated for designing chintzes based on nineteenth century fabric documents. In her autobiography Jean Monro describes how much she admires Kelly, stating 'he very kindly painted 11 Montpelier Street when we were under threat of being pulled down in the 1960s. The picture is in my sitting room in London today'. (J. Monro, 11 Montpelier Street: Memoirs of an Interior Decorator, London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1988, p. 97)
