WILLIAM LEE HANKEY
British 1869-1952
Oil Painting on canvas mounted on stretchers and framed in a traditional Impressionist style handmade frame.
This painting has been in a private collection for around 30 years and was previously owned by the Fine Art Society. It is a beautiful study of a young peasant girl with her goats in a farm courtyard. The work is both sensitive and charming, he employs a lovely earthy palette and has a sketchy foreground and more detailed background.

In 1894 he first exhibited in London where his paintings and individual style attracted immediate attention. A few years later in 1899 he became a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and in 1902 was elected President of the London Sketch...
