Maurice Mancini Roith was born in Brest-Litovsk, Poland but brought up in London. He worked as a scene painter at Covent Garden Opera House while studying part-time at the Westminster School of Art under Walter Sickert and Bernard Meninsky, afterwards dividing his time between business and painting. Mancini Roith died in London, England in 1958 and an exhibition of his work, organised by Ben Uri, was held aboard the 'Tattershall Castle' on the Thames in 1979.
