Lot 107

Description

Dame Ethel Walker DBE ARA, 
British 1861-1951 - 

Robin Hood's Bay with donkeys; 

oil on board, bears inscription on the reverse 'Dame Ethel Walker UL30', 28 x 35.8 cm 

Note: 
the inscription on the reverse of the board is most likely in the hand of Polish artist Marian Kratochwil (1906–1997), who inherited the contents of Ethel Walker's London studio when she died. 

This is classic example of Walker's style, with its subtle gradations of chalky paint and quiet, almost breathless atmosphere. The artist owned a cottage overlooking the sea in Robin's Hood Bay and it was a frequent subject of her work. Other works on this theme are in public collections including the Government Art Collection, the National Galleries of Scotland and The Courtauld, London. 

The artist exhibited widely in the UK during her lifetime and was the subject of a major retrospective at the Tate in 1951, alongside her contemporaries Gwen John and Frances Hodgkins and organised by John Rothenstein. More recently, her work was central to Tate Britain's 'Queer British Art 1861-1967' in 2017 and 'Now You See Us' in 2024.
