Sculptor and medallist. On the page about his brother, Geoffrey, Wikipedia says "The eldest {sibling}, Theodore Spicer-Simson, became a world-famous medallion portrait artist, moving between France and the United States." The photo shows him in 1934.

When Conway died alone in his home in Paris it was Spicer Simson who identified the body.
