Lot #14 Charles Spencelayh: "Untitled Portrait", Original Oil on Wood Panel

Description:

Charles Spencelayh: "Untitled Portrait", Original Oil on Wood Panel (1865-1958) English genre painter and portraiture in the classic style and quite in demand at the time. He became a favorite of Queen Mary, so much so he painted a miniature portrait of King George V to hang in her doll house. Spencelayh's penchant for capturing in stunning detail a person's face is clearly evident in this serious portrait of a woman of means who did not suffer fools gladly. But give the portrait a moment and features begin to soften, you see a once handsome woman looking into the not too distant future and is contented. Wood panel is 10 x 7.5", nicely frame with brass placard with artist's name year of birth and death. Estimated Value $700 - 1,000
