Henry Gillard Glindoni RBA ARWS, The Cottage Garden

Henry Gillard Glindoni RBA ARWS, The Cottage GardenThis late 19th century oil painting by British artist Henry Gillard Glindoni (1852 1913) depicts an older woman by a rustic stone cottage. Perched upon a creaky wooden bench, she prepares a daily meal. Sat outside in the elements under a typically cloudy British sky. At this time of year, the flora comes alive with new blooms while the climbers extend as far as the top window. Glindoni was a talented artist and well admired for his exquisite genre

It’s a little reminiscent of portraits by Isaac Grünewald (1889-1946) and it’s likely that the artist trained under him
