DESCRIPTION:
|
Walter Dendy Sadler was born in 1854 and at the age of sixteen was convinced he should become an artist. He commenced his studies immediately at Heatherly’s School of Art in London and then in Dusseldorf, Germany, under the watchful eye of W. Simmler. Sadler’s speciality was painting genre scenes in Eighteenth or Nineteenth Century costume often with theatrical gestures. Such was his popularity many of Sadler’s works were reproduced as prints and today his work can be seen in the Tate Gallery in London, and also in Museums in Liverpool, Manchester, Nebraska and New Zealand. This Oil on Canvas of Two Country Lovers is an unusually large painting by the artist.
