About the Item

A striking modern British watercolour by acclaimed artist Charles Gilbert Joseph Holiday. Holiday studied at the Royal Academy of Art (1897–1902) and was distinguished for his ability to capture expression and movement, using an array of mediums such as charcoal, pencil, oils, pastels and watercolour. The fluidity of the watercolour technique contrasts beautifully with the intense, almost palpable sense of grip and persistence.

Pencil and watercolour heightened with gold paint and gum arabic on paper, 36.8 x 27.9 cm A gift so majestic, it made kings blush, and a gift so grand, it would startle Europe into a craze. Pasha Muhammad Ali of Egypt (1805-1848) did it in 1827: he sent to Europe three magical spotted, horned creatures, each with a neck reaching the skies and legs as long as a house is high. One giraffe to King Charles X of France, one to Francis I of Austria and the most fabled one to King George IV of England. A curious sight for Europeans, who had not seen such a beast since the Medici giraffe in 1487. Few animals created more of a stir in Europe than these royal...
