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.
