About the Item
This lovely British Impressionist portrait oil painting is by noted Nottinghamshire artist Arthur Spooner. Painted circa 1930 it is a charming head and shoulders portrait of a young lady in a white hat and summer dress. Her head is turned to her left so she is demurely gazing away from the artist/viewer as if lost in her own thoughts. The sitter is believed to be a waitress from a Nottingham coffee house. The painting was offered to the vendor's grandfather, who also attended Nottingham School of Art, for "the price of a three-piece suit" which Spooner required to go to the Royal Academy. There is lovely detail and brushwork in her facial features and cupid's bow red lips and the whole presentation is quite romantic. This is an excellent example of Spooner's work with interesting provenance.
Signed lower right see photo.

Arthur Hacker RA (25 September 1858 - 12 November 1919) was an English classicist painter born in London. Hacker was the son of Edward Hacker (1813–1905), a line engraver specialising in animal and sporting prints (who was also for many years the official Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths for Kentish Town in the St Pancras registration district, north London). In his art he was most known for painting religious scenes and portraits, and his art was also influenced by his extensive travels in Spain and North Africa. He studied at the Royal Academy between 1867 and 1880, and at the Atelier Bonnat in Paris. He was twice exhibited at the Royal Academy, in 1878 and 1910, and was elected an Academician in 1910.
