About the Item

Charles Spencelayh British, (1865-1958) A Satisfying Drink Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 12.75 inches x 8.75 inches Size including frame: 19.5 inches x 15.5 inches Charles Spencelayh was born on 27 October 1865 in Rochester, Kent. He studied at the national Art Training School in Kensington and later in Paris. He exhibited at the Paris Salon and at the Royal Academy from 1892 and was a founder member of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters where he also exhibited. In addition to the London galleries, he exhibited at the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham where he was elected an honorary member, the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Hibernian Academy, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Art, the Walker Gallery, Liverpool and Manchester City Art Gallery. From early on, he began painting highly detailed genre scenes which then developed into intimate studies of everyday folk usually in their home. His paintings usually feature a solitary figure engaged in an activity that most people would identify with. The almost photographic quality of his paintings allows the sitters personality to shine through and we are given a glimpse into their nature and how they deal with the situation they find themselves in. Spencelayh’s ability to encapsulate a sentiment through painting made him a highly successful artist during his lifetime, winning him many accolades including the Royal Academy Picture of the Year in 1939. He also enjoyed the patronage of many public figures including Queen Mary who was an early collector of his work. His son Vernon also became a successful artist. Many of his paintings are held in public collections including Birmingham Museum, Cowper and Newton Museum, Ferens Art Gallery, Grundy Art Gallery, Manchester Art Gallery, Rochester Guildhall Museum, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery, The Tate and the Towneley Hall Art Gallery. In this painting we see a boy enjoying a hot drink. His hand-me-down clothes allude to his family’s financial situation, as well as at least one older brother. The jug he is drinking from was probably part of a set that has been lost over the years, perhaps too costly to be replaced. Whilst not well off, someone has taken the trouble to button up his collar and instil pride in his appearance, indicating he is loved and cared for. Dressed in older boy’s clothes, his childhood will soon be behind him but in this moment he is showing his appreciation in that delightfully spontaneous way children have. The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame, which is in excellent condition.
