Artist context
About George Percy Jacomb-Hood
George Percy Jacomb-Hood (1857–1929) was a British painter, etcher, illustrator, sculptor, and photographer active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born in Redhill, Surrey, he spent much of his career in London and became recognized for his versatility across multiple media. Jacomb-Hood was a founding member of both the New English Art Club and the Society of Portrait Painters, two organizations that championed British art outside the Royal Academy establishment. He was also associated with the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers. His practice encompassed genre scenes, allegorical subjects, and portraiture, and he contributed illustrations to publications of the period. His work reflects the broader currents of late-Victorian and Edwardian British art, bridging academic tradition and the newer sensibilities represented by the New English Art Club. Collectors encounter his paintings, etchings, and illustrations at auction with some regularity.

Common works and media
Common works by Jacomb-Hood include oil paintings (particularly portraits and genre scenes), etchings and prints, book and periodical illustrations, and occasional sculptural works. His etchings often depict figurative and narrative subjects, while his paintings lean toward portraiture and allegorical themes. Illustrated publications featuring his work also surface in the book and ephemera market.
Market and appraisal context
George Percy Jacomb-Hood's auction footprint spans 19 recorded lots over a twenty-year period (2005–2025), with 11 carrying realized prices. Works have appeared at a broad mix of UK regional houses (John Nicholson's, Mallams, Tamlyns, Dreweatts, Olympia Auctions), international houses (Helmuth Stone, Eldred's in the US, Shapiro in Australia, Sheppards in Ireland), and major London salerooms (Christie's, Bonhams). The price distribution is wide: gouache works and small studies cluster at the low end (£40–£80 GBP), while signed oil portraits and figurative compositions have reached £7,000 GBP at Olympia Auctions (2024), AUD 8,400 at Shapiro (2020), and EUR 3,400 at Sheppards (2016). The median across all priced lots is approximately £400. Liquidity is modest—typically 2–3 lots per year in recent seasons—suggesting a specialist rather than broad-market artist. The strongest demand centers on oil paintings with portrait or figurative subjects bearing clear signatures and period provenance.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Old Master & British Paintings
- Prints & Multiples
- Works on Paper
- British & European Art
- Portraits & Figurative Art
Value drivers
- Medium and technique: oil paintings and portrait commissions typically command higher values than etchings and illustrations
- Association with the New English Art Club and Society of Portrait Painters strengthens provenance context
- Multi-disciplinary output (painting, etching, sculpture, photography, illustration) means works appear across several auction categories
- Medium is the strongest price differentiator: signed oil paintings have realized £700–£7,000 GBP, while gouache studies and prints cluster at £40–£80 GBP
- Subject matter matters—portraits and figurative compositions attract stronger bidding than landscape or topographical gouaches
- Provenance linking to the New English Art Club, Society of Portrait Painters, or named sitters adds contextual value
Appraisal caveats
- No catalogue raisonné was identified in the available sources, making attribution verification more dependent on expert review.
- Market data is limited to public auction records; private sale history is not captured here.
- Only 11 of 19 recorded lots carry realized prices; the unsold or un-priced lots may indicate reserve failures or post-sale private negotiations not captured here.
- Prices are denominated in GBP, USD, AUD, and EUR. The median and percentile figures treat all currencies as numerically equivalent without conversion, so the £400 median should be treated as indicative rather than precise.
