Born in Liverpool in 1874, Frank Moss Bennett was a London artist who specialised in painting portraits, genre and historical subjects. He began his training in 1892 at Slade School of Art in London and finished his education at the Royal Academy of Arts.
Bennett won a gold medal from the Royal Academy for a lithograph he created in 1899 titled “Ladas the Greek runner falling dead as he goes to receive his crown of olives at Olympia”
Bennett is best known for his Elizabethan subjects, many of which became well known through calendars and other forms of popular reproduction. He is also known for his portraits of soldiers killed in World War I, usually commissioned by their grieving relatives.
The present work is a sketch for a portrait of a young lady in typical period attire. It is executed within a painted oval border and shows lovely tonality.
Condition report: In good clean condition. Some old areas of light abrasion. Canvas is in good serviceable condition and reasonable tension. Slight impression of the stretcher bars only noticeable in artificial light.
