The sculptor James Havard Thomas was born in Bristol. He studied at the Bristol School of Art, Royal College of Art and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He practised in London, 1884-9 and in Italy, near Naples, where he also worked at a local bronze foundry, 1889-1906. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1872, the International Society from 1898 and the Society of Twelve from 1908. His first one-man exhibition was held at the Carfax Gallery in 1909. In 1911 he was appointed Assistant Lecturer at the Slade and became Professor of Sculpture there in 1915. A memorial exhibition was held at the Leicester Galleries in 1922.
This study of a Sicilian girl comes from the collection of the sculptor Herbert William Palliser (1883-1963) who had studied under Havard Thomas at the Slade, 1911-14. There is a small group of Havard Thomas’ drawings in the collection of the Tate Gallery.
