Charles John de lacy was a marine artist born in Sunderland in 1856 the son of Robert de Lacy, a professor of music. By 1870, the family had moved to Lambeth in London, where he later married Alice Hill in 1880. Together, they had two daughters and lived at 34 Flaxman Road, Coldharbour Lane. Lacy initially trained as an engineer, serving for a time in the Royal Navy, where he developed his knowledge of the sea and shipping. De Lacy later trained at the National Gallery and made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1889. De Lacy also exhibited at Suffolk Street and some of the provincial galleries in Liverpool and Manchester. De Lacy specialized in views of shipping in the London estuary as well as harbor scenes around the country, including the North East. De Lacy worked as an illustrator for periodicals, including the Illustrated London News and the Graphic. He also worked as an artist to the Admiralty and the Port of London Authority, producing illustrations for books and commercial art. De Lacy died at Epsom, Surrey in 1929, and was buried in Lambeth.

Taken from an album of erotic paintings, this framed leaf departs from a tradition of depicting lovers in risqué outdoor settings by picturing an amorous coupling in a distinctly Qing-dynasty interior. The uniquely detailed surroundings shed light on the prevailing aesthetic tastes in decor and furniture of 19th-century China. Note the carved wooden headrest, blue and white censer...
