Description

The painting has been well presented in a charming gilt-effect frame with delicate running patterns to the profile. Signed to the lower right. On canvas on stretchers.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some discolouration to the varnish and light abrasions to the surface. Signs of retouching visible to the upper left. The canvas has undergone restoration work, notably a small tear repair to the centre left. Some wear to the frame, including stable cracking and small losses to the edges.

Artist Biography

Painter born in Cheetham, Manchester, the son of marine artist Alfred Gomersal Vickers (1810-1837) and the grandson of artist Alfred Vickers (1786-1868). As a 7-year-old, he was living in Islington, London, with his grandparents. He married at Sheffield in 1866 and with his wife relocated to Calais, France, where their son Alfred Charles was born in the same year. The census of 1881 records him as a scenic artist, living with his son Alfred Charles Vickers (b. 1867), also an artist. Examples of Alfred Henry's work are held in the collections of Southampton Art Gallery and the Parliamentary Art Collection.
