Oa de schilder:
Scottish painter George Henry (1858-1943), born in Ayrshire,
gained his formative training at Glasgow School of Art in the early 1880s and
attended informal classes at William York Macgregor's studio in Bath Street. He
later studied in Paris furthering his development as a figure painter and
portraitist of the utmost refinement.
A crucial formative experience for the artist was the trip
that he made to Japan with Edward Atkinson Hornel 1893-1894, during which he
studied Japanese graphic art and painted a number of portraits of geishas.
Following his travels Henry settled in London, keeping a studio in Glebe Place
in Chelsea, and made a living as a highly admired and sought after society
portrait painter.
