Lot Essay

Described as a painter of beautiful people and places, de Glehn's work is similar in style to that of John Singer Sargent, who was his friend and travelling companion. Having studied at both the South Kensington Schools and École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, de Glehn travelled extensively and was elected a Royal Academician in 1932.
