William Maw Egley, British 1826-1916- A Good Likeness; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'W Maw Egley / 1890' (lower left), 98.6 x 111 cm. Provenance: Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 29 March 1983, lot 141. Private Collection, UK. Note: Maw Egley was the son of the miniaturist William Egley (1798-1870), and was heavily influenced by the approach of William Powell Frith (1819-1909), by whom he was on occasion employed to paint the backgrounds of his works. He produced a number of elaborate interior scenes, often featuring figures in historical dress, with the present work a particularly striking and enigmatic example of his oeuvre.

His early tuition included drawing literary illustrations of Molière and Shakespeare, and as the present painting attests, his work is typically rich in costume and historical references. In London Egley exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Further afield he showed at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts, the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin. He also worked as an assistant to William Powell Frith. His work is in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Britain and the Holbourne Museum, Bath.

Attributed to William Maw Egley, British 1826-1916- A girl in a forest, wearing a blue cloak and straw hat, holding a bouquet of flowers; oil on canvas, 35.5 x 30.5 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK (by descent). Note: William Maw Egley was the son of the miniaturist William Egley (1798-1870). He was associated with The Clique, a group which included figures such as Augustus Egg (1816-1863), Edward Matthew Ward (1816-1879) and William Powell Frith (1819-1909). Indeed, Egley even collaborated with Frith, painting the backgrounds to many of his paintings, with the influence of Frith's approach evident in Egley's idealised depictions of female figures, sometimes in somewhat fanciful historical dress.
