Previous pages: in
the lower studio
the huge salvaged
18th-century
pedimented
doorcase was a
present from the
former occupant
of the top studio
Norman Hepple.
His portrait of
Jonathan Barrow
(the youngest of
the five brothers
who was killed
in a car crash
aged 22) sits
on the central
easel. This page
clockwise from
top: a print of a
(cropped) Annigoni
self-portrait –
Renaissance in
style but done in
1946 – hangs by
frames leaning
against a fabric-
hung wall; the
easel painting at
the bottom left
is an early Julian
Barrow of Eton;
on the marble
chimney piece
there is a typical
Barrow tablescape



  • including his
    painting of a
    stupa in Thailand
    and a red
    chinoiserie box;
    the wrought-
    iron chandelier
    complete with
    hanging glass
    grapes is
    from Florence.
    Opposite: the
    huge window and
    skylight stay
    uncovered. The
    view takes in the
    Royal Hospital’s
    west face and
    Gordon House
