Noel Denholm Davis was a British artist, who worked chiefly as a portraitist. He was born in Nottingham, England, in 1876 and studied at Nottingham School of Art, and then the Royal Academy Schools. He spent a decade working in London, before returning to live in Nottingham. A number of his subjects have connections with Nottingham, including several owned by the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Castle Museum, and Nottingham City Museums and Galleries. One of his portraits of Jesse Boot, 1st Baron Trent is in the collection of the University of Nottingham, another of the same subject is on loan to the National Portrait Gallery. Among his other notable subjects were Albert Ball V.C. and William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. In 1929, Davis painted the frescoes, still extant, in the stairwell of Nottingham Council House. He died at Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, in 1950.

2. where the expression "attributed to" is used, the work is in our opinion possibly a work by the artist, in whole or in part;
3. where the expression 'circle of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence;
4. where the expression 'follower of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but not necessarily by a pupil;
5. where the expression 'manner of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but of a later date;
6. where the term "after" is used, the work is in our opinion a copy or pastiche (of any date) of a work by the artist. Where the term 'signed...' is used in our opinion the work has been signed by the artist, where the term 'with signature...' or 'bears signature...' is used in our opinion the signature is by a hand other than that of the artist.
