John William Waterhouse, R.A. 1849-1917 the easy chair oil on canvas 83 by 67 cm., 32 1/2 by 26 1/2 in. !165000-247000 An unfinished sketch of this type by Waterhouse, which may have been undertaken as a study for a portrait or perhaps of a detail in a planned larger painting, shows the artist's instinctive and always pleasing manner of painting. Areas of colour are built up in translucent textures of thinned oil paint and without any elaborate under-drawing. The child's hands and face have received the closest attention, and she has already a sweet expression of resignation to the process of being painted. Even these areas, however, are treated in an empirical and responsive way, so that the painting is living and true in its representation. Provenance: The artist's studio sale at Christie's, 23 July 1926, lot 41 (bought Fry for 16 guineas) Sir Frederick Fry By whom sold at Christie's, 18 June 1943, lot 13 (bought Strasser for 2I guineas) Literature: Anthony Hobson, The Art and Life of J.W. Waterhouse RA, London, 1980, p.194, cat. no.246
