About the Item

CECIL WILLIAM REA (1860–1935) "The Crystal Gazer" Oil on Panel, Circa 1910 A captivating British School oil on panel by Cecil William Rea, depicting a young woman absorbed in the mystical act of gazing into a crystal ball. Painted circa 1910, this work reflects Rea’s characteristic blend of delicate brushwork and psychological depth, illustrating his keen interest in introspective and allegorical subjects. The sitter’s semi-profile and soft, shadowed contours create a sense of intimacy and mystery, further enhanced by the dark palette and dramatic lighting. The painting retains its original ornate giltwood frame, showcasing period-appropriate craftsmanship, and adding further visual weight to the already evocative image. SPECIFICATIONS Medium: Oil on Panel Dimensions (panel): 18.5 x 23.2 cm Dimensions (framed): 37 x 41.5 cm Weight: 2,010 KG Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Maurice Lambert (1901–1964), renowned British sculptor Acquired from Louise Whitford Ltd., London in the 1970s, specialists in 19th and early 20th-century art Private UK collection thereafter ABOUT THE ARTIST Cecil William Rea (1860–1935) was a British painter recognised for his allegorical and portrait works, frequently exhibiting in the UK and internationally during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
