About the Item
This early 20th-century watercolour by British artist Henry Gillard Glindoni (1852-1913) depicts a passing encounter between two old friends.
“And perhaps another game of cards?” he said, walking away.
“But with a different outcome!” came the reply.
Glindoni’s mesmerising works represent his passion for the theatre. Within each, he alludes to a story. He paints 17th-century court scenes, 18th-century romantic entanglements, and here, early 19th-century camaraderie. Very rarely did he paint his own generation.
Note the handling of the outfits, which date to around 1800. Exceptionally detailed. While the deft rendering of flora in the lower right adds balance and guides the eye. Exquisite draughtsmanship coupled with a keen understanding of colour. He was trained by his grandfather, Francis Robert Glindon (1799-1866), who worked for the theatre as a scene painter.
Signed in the lower left, glazed and framed.

Henry Gillard Glindoni
Henry Gillard Glindoni was a London genre and historical painter born at Kennington Lane, Lambeth, in 1852. He studied at the Working Men’s College and the Castle Street School of Art. He worked for several photographers, including Valentine Blanchard coloring prints and painting on porcelain. In his spare time, he painted local scenes and also took several photographs, which are held at the Valence House Museum Dagenham. At some point, he changed his surname, originally Glindon, to Glindoni for professional reasons. He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, Suffolk Street and The Royal Watercolour Society. He became a member of the RBA and RWS. He died in 1913.

Study of a girl sitting and reading a book
By William Hoare
Located in Bath, Somerset
A study in red chalk of a girl sitting and reading a book. Red chalk on paper under glass in a giltwood and gesso frame. This small drawing has a sense of intimacy in the capturing of a moment where the sitter is seemingly unaware of being observed, unlike the feeling of formailty and self-awareness in a staged portrait sitting
