Est: £200 - £300
After Walter Langley, British 1852-1922- Never morning wore to evening but some heart did break; oil on canvas, signed with initials and dated 'JE H. W. / 1895' (lower left), inscribed 'After W. Langley' verso, 27.9 x 38 cm. Note: The present work is a copy after Langley's original, painted in 1894, and which is now held in the collection of the Birmingham Museums Trust [1980P18]. The title of Langley's painting is taken from the 1850 poem 'In Memoriam, A.H.H' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, referring to the nature of the work as a meditation on grief, depicting a figure who buries her head in her hands, seemingly overwhelmed by loss, whilst being comforted by the woman who sits beside her. The coastal setting, and the fishing vessels in the background, clearly gesture towards the dangers of the sea, which were ever-present in 19th-century fishing communities.
