William Gibbs Mackenzie, ARHA,
British 1857-1924-
The Lover's Farewell;
oil on canvas, signed and dated 'W.G. MacKenzie / 1897' (lower left), 120 x 79 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection.
Note:
MacKenzie was a Belfast-born artist who went on to study under Sir Edward Poynter (1836-1919) at the Royal Academy in London. He was a versatile painter whose subjects consisted of landscapes as much as portraits and genre scenes. The present work is a particularly charming example of his figure paintings, and is on an unusually large scale for the artist.
