William Lee Hankey, RWS, RI, ROI, RE, British 1869-1952- Two women at a market; watercolour heightened with white on paper, 23.3 x 15.1 cm. ARR. Provenance: Collection of William Drummond.; Private Collection, UK. Note: A. L. Baldry said that Hankey was ‘in his water-colours an absolute purist; he paints entirely with transparent pigments, and never has recourse to opaque colours; his brushwork is broad and confident – free, on the one hand, from affectation of showy cleverness, and, on the other, from niggling minuteness or over-elaboration; and he does not insist, as is the fashion with many present-day painters, upon lowness of tone.’ This watercolour of two women at the market on a spring/summer day with suggestions of a light drizzle from two umbrellas in the background, is rich in colour and atmosphere. Hankey was celebrated for his works of great sensitivity, and frequently concentrated on the subject of rural Breton women at the market, bustling and gossiping.品相报告: Please refer to department for condition report
