Albert Chevallier Tayler, RBC (British, 1862-1925)

Trying them on
signed and dated 'A.CHEVALLIER TAYLER. 1892.' (lower left)
oil on canvas
53 x 79cm (20 7/8 x 31 1/8in).

Footnotes

Provenance
Purchased from the Lovekin Estate, Birmingham, circa 1958
Thence by descent to the present owner

The present lot was painted in 1892, and shows the continuation of a theme of interiors, with which Chevallier Tayler started to enjoy critical success back in the late 1880s. A hugely popular figure among the artists of Newlyn, Tayler's first academy success came with Bless, O God, these gifts to our use (RA, 1887, sold Bonhams New York, 4 May 2016, lot 88). Stanhope Forbes, a great champion of Tayler's work, hoped the critical response to the work would invigorate Tayler, and indeed in the following year he produced a small number of important interiors, which are among his finest paintings; works such as The council of three (NEAC, 1888, sold Bonhams London, 23 January 2013, lot 96), A Dress Rehearsal (RA, 1888) and The House of Cards (1888), are all painted in sympathy with the principles of the Newyln school.
