Born in 1874, Charles Haigh-Wood was primarily a genre painter. His works were widely exhibited at the R.A. and elsewhere, and some of his most popular works feature gracious ladies in elaborate interiors. In the present work, a group of flirtatious ladies peer out the window perhaps having attracted the attention of a suitor who is coming to call.
Original work sold Oct 2002 at Christies for $71,700.
“Born in 1856 in Bury, England, Charles Haigh Wood was a prolific British painter. His works include portraits, landscapes, and most popular of all, “conversation pieces”, which were basically story telling scenes of the society and times he lived in. He had his work displayed at Royal Academy, Suffolk Street, and New Watercolour Society. Today, his pieces can be found in various museums such as Manchester City Art Gallery and Bury Art Museum, and are found in auctions, where they are highly coveted by collectors. He died in 1927.” (Source: Belisarius)
