On long term loan from Alliance Boots, Davis's 1909 portrait of Jesse Boot (1850-1931) records one of the great entrepreneurs of the Victorian period whose firm remains a household name today. It is characteristic of Boot that he should have chosen a local Nottingham artist in Denholm Davis to paint his portrait. He is shown as still the active businessman, alert and seated at his desk. It was presented to him 'by the male employees of Boots Cash Chemists' in 1909.
