Llewellyn Petley Jones was an Anglo-Canadian painter and father of the artist Nancy Petley Jones.

He came to London in 1934 and having had to leave Italy at the outbreak of war in 1939 he entered the Royal Navy. All his Italian works were lost.

Petley Jones was commissioned to paint portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh for the Alberta Legislative Building in 1954.

He is often referred to as the Canadian Impressionist.

This coloured pencil portrait is of John Ellis who was a cobbler in Richmond, Surrey where Petley Jones lived. It is signed and dated 1976.
