About the Item

An exquisite example of Walter Bonner Gash’s mastery, The Music Lesson (c. 1890) captures the quiet elegance and nostalgia that define his work. This beautifully preserved oil painting, measuring 49 1/2 x 33 inches, remains in its original, period gold leaf frame, adding to its historical significance and charm. Gash, a British artist celebrated for his evocative depictions of domestic life, beach scenes, and childhood innocence, developed his distinctive soft luminescence while studying at the Lincoln School of Art and the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. His works reflect an international influence, blending technical precision with an intimate, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Exhibited at the Royal Academy three times, Gash gained recognition for pieces such as Studying the New Woman (1896), Selling Flowers (1898), and Sorting Plums (1904). The Music Lesson stands as a testament to his ability to capture tender, fleeting moments with warmth and depth, making it a distinguished addition to any fine art collection. Provenance: Palm Beach Antique Show to current private collection, MA.
