Painted in 1928 and reproduced in the June 1928 edition of Uk Good Housekeeping as an advertising work for Horlicks, captioned with "Life is fun when you're fit".
In February 1931 a selection of Jagger's paintings produced ‘for advertising purposes’ for J Walter Thompson was shown at the British Industries Fair at Olympia. Jagger was pleased to learn his work found a royal admirer, the Duchess of York, who spent some considerable time viewing his pictures. Many of his high society portraits were reproduced in many notable art journals and magazines of the day, including Nash's & Pall Mall magazine, for whom he produced a pair of specially commissioned black and white portraits of King George V and Queen Mary (Silver Jubilee edition, May 1935).
