Terence Cuneo

I came across this by chance while cycling past. Terence Cuneo (1907-1996) was an artist who painted a range of subjects. During WW2 he provided illustrations of aircraft factories and wartime events. After the war he was commissioned to produce a series of works illustrating railways, bridges and locomotives. A significant point in his career was his appointment as official artist for the coronation of The Queen. He has painted many other portraits of the Queen and other members of the Royal family plus other eminent people including Edward Heath and Field Marshall Montgomery Since 1953 his paintings have included a small mouse, his trademark, which is often difficult to find. He lived in a house called Freshfields in Esher, now replaced by new houses where this plaque is found on one.
The extra is the Queen with corgis at Frogmore.
