Original pencil / pastel sketch of an unknown sitter
-
Circa 1880. A signed pastel sketch by Ward, better known as Spy. The sitter is unknown. The sheet has a little darkening and creasing, and with a small closed tear to the right edge. Backing board is quite darkened and foxed to the top and right sides, and has a closed tear to the right edge (now repaired). Still an attractive portrait. Original sketches by Spy are uncommon, but several others which show only heads in profile have appeared at auction. Print: 29cm x 18cm. Sheet: 40cm x 30cm. Leslie Ward (1851-1922), was better known as SPY was a British caricaturist. Over four decades painted 1,325 portraits which were regularly published by Vanity Fair. Outside of these, his sketches and original pastel / pencil portraits were often in a different style (as this work is) yet retaining his skill and humour. .
