Harold Gresley (1892-1962) - Portrait Of Shirley Anne Greenwood, Oil On Canvas Dated 1946
Artist: Harold Gresley (1892-1962)
A very charming portrait of a young girl by British painter Harold Gresley, renowned for his gentle, sensitive portraits and genre scenes.This oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right in 1946, depicts Shirley Anne Greenwood, aged 12, daughter of John and Alice Greenwood, as indicated by the handwritten inscription on the back of the canvas: "Shirley Anne - aged 12 yrs - daughter of John and Alice Greenwood - Chelaston - June 1946". The expression of the face, the finesse of the modelling and the soft light testify to the artist's talent for capturing the personality of his model.On the reverse is also an old label from the Derby Sketching Club, an artistic association with which Harold Gresley was connected, reinforcing the work's documentary and historical interest.A touching and elegant painting, typical of the British portrait tradition of the mid-twentieth century.
