About the Item
This lovely British Edwardian portrait oil painting is by noted artist William Henry Margetson. He was known for his aesthetic full-length portraits of women, often in hats, in an interior, perhaps arranging flowers. Our painting is perhaps more natural and charming and painted circa 1901. A dark-haired young woman is perched on the wall of her house, next to some fishing nets drying. The house abutts the harbour and the sea can be seen coming up to the wall. She is dressed in a red and white check dress and lilac cardigan and is gazing towards the water as if willing her lover to sail into the harbour and home. Beyond her, green leaded windows are open and a mass of wild flowers grow out of the wall below. More cottages can be seen as well as a rowing boat pulled out of the water. The little details and brushwork are just superb. A really lovely Edwardian portrait and an excellent example of Margetson's work.

William Henry Margetson RI (December 1861 – 2 January 1940) was a British painter and illustrator, mainly known for his aesthetic portraits of women. Margetson was born at Camberwell, London. He studied at Dulwich College, and later at the Royal College of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. In 1885 he first exhibited at the Royal Academy, and later also at the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Grosvenor Gallery. In late 1885 he won the Armitage Medal for his studies at the RA, which is now in the British Museum. Margetson painted in oils and watercolours. He made his name with portraits of beautiful women, often with modern hairstyles and hats. He also created religious and allegorical artworks. To begin with he worked in an academic, Victorian style. Later he would use a looser brushstyle inspired by the post-impressionists and the pre-raphaelites, and in particular Lawrence Alma-Tadema. His most successful work was the classically decorative The Sea Hath its Pearls which he exhibited in 1897 at the Royal Academy, now in the possession of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, in Australia. A portrait of Alfred Tennyson by Margetson is in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Margetson also worked as an illustrator of books. He was married to the artist Helen Hatton, who he met when they worked on an illustration project together. He lived and worked first in London and later in Blewbury and Wallingford. He died in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, in 1940, at the age of 78.
