He is best known for his film work, spanning more than thirty years, from Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes to Star Wars and Superman.Prior to his being called up at the end of 1940, and then serving with the Royal Signal Corps, Beddoes had been working at the Windmill Theatre in London's West End. In an autobiographical written shortly before his death, Beddoes wrote: 'one night in 1940 I walked off the stage to become a stretcher-bearer in the blitz on London. Then I went into the army. I never went back into the profession.' In a letter to the Artist's Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Information, (dated 10 October 1940), Beddoes explains how he came to make some sketches of the Blitz: '… [I] submit to you the accompanying sketches in the hope that they might be of use as documentary evidence or, in any other way that you might think useful. I am a scenic designer, and happened to be watching the raid last Saturday afternoon from the roof of a building in Piccadilly Circus. I was able to make a quick sketch of the effects of fires caused by the bombs dropped on South London, and again, later in the evening I made two sketches with colour notes of the fire, and added the colour afterwards. Should the sketches be of any use to you, I should be pleased if you would accept them and perhaps any future sketches I may make when I join the army in the very near future.'

The artist painted several versions of both mother and daughter; Baron illustrates three paintings of the gaunt ‘Mamma mia poveretta’ (cat. nos. 205, 205.1 and 205.2), in which the sitter wears the same distinctive headscarf. Two further oils are listed, and four related drawings, including the present one (cat nos. 205.3,4, and 6). Sickert described La Giuseppina’s aged mother to his friend Mrs Hulton on 1 January 1904 as ‘a splendid model’, with a fazzoletto (headscarf or handkerchief), black, with peacocks’ feathers on her head.’The drawing, exhibited in Drawings by Walter Sickert, at the Carfax Gallery, January, 1911, was sketched, along with all the other drawings in the exhibition, as no. 38 of the wall layout of drawings, reproduced in Anna Gruetzner Robins, Walter Sickert, Drawings Theory and Practice: Word and Image. Presumably the orange hue of the paper inspired the annotation 'char old gold.' On 1 February 1911, at the end of the exhibition at the Carfax Gallery, this drawing was bought by Iolo Aneurin Williams (1890-1962) for £5 and 5 Shillings. The family archive contains the original receipt from the Carfax Gallery, dated February 1, and listed as catalogue no. 38 from the Drawings by Walter Sickert exhibition.
