Lot description
Harold Clayton, British 1896-1979- Floral still life with roses, pansies, and convolvulus in an urn on a ledge; oil on canvas, signed 'Harold Clayton' (lower left), bears label for 'G. M. Lotinga Ltd.' inscribed 'Flowers in a White Bowl / Harold Clayton / August 1960' attached to the lower stretcher bar, 40.7 x 50.5 cm. ARR. Provenance: with G. M. Lotinga, London, 1960. Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work is a particularly charming example of Clayton's oeuvre, depicting an abundant bouquet of flowers in a low vase. The artist is notable for his highly detailed approach, with his sensitive brushstrokes confidently evoking the delicacy of the flowers and their foliage with a striking realism. His use of a vibrant colour palette here - and indeed in his floral compositions generally - emphasises the rich bounty and beauty of the flowers, especially when set against a plain background. A similar work by Clayton sold at Roseberys on 22 November 2023, lot 279, for £5,248.
