Born on this day in 1908 was English painter Carel Victor Morlais Weight.

Weight often populated his work with ghostly presences and in 'I Cheer a Dead Man’s Sweetheart' featured here, the solitary man on the right appears as a ghost, watching the couple on the left, walking hand in hand.

It's #LeftHandersDay - and the first left-handed artist from Jerwood Collection that came to mind for us was Lucian Freud.

He is considered one of the most important figurative painters of the past century, and painted with his left hand while holding his palette in his right.
