"Lieutenant Colonel A. N. Lee, DSO, OBE, TD, Censor in France of Paintings and Drawings by Artists at the Front" is a portrait by the renowned British artist Sir William Orpen. Created during World War I, this painting captures Lieutenant Colonel A. N. Lee, who served as a censor for artworks produced by war artists on the front lines in France. Orpen, known for his role as an official war artist, was tasked with documenting the war through his art, and his works often depicted the realities and personalities involved in the conflict.

Lieutenant Colonel A. N. Lee was responsible for overseeing the content of artworks to ensure they did not reveal sensitive military information. His role was crucial in maintaining security while allowing artists to convey the experiences of war. The painting reflects Orpen's skill in portraiture, capturing both the likeness and the character of Lee with meticulous detail.

Orpen's work during the war is significant for its contribution to the visual history of World War I. His portraits and scenes from the front provide insight into the human aspects of the conflict, balancing the grim realities with a sense of dignity and respect for those involved. This particular portrait is a testament to the complex relationship between art and military operations during wartime, highlighting the importance of censorship and the role of art in documenting history.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Orpen that includes numerous portraits of military personnel and scenes from the front, many of which are held in prestigious collections and continue to be studied for their historical and artistic value. Through this portrait, Orpen not only immortalizes Lieutenant Colonel A. N. Lee but also underscores the broader narrative of art's role in wartime documentation and propaganda.
