Thomas Capel Walton Smith

Early 20th-Century Portrait Of A Woman

This early 20th-century watercolour by British artist Thomas Capel Walton Smith (1901-1994) depicts a young lady dressed to impress.

She carries an expression of quiet defiance, strong in her armour, confident in the face of societal judgement. Her chin is lifted and fears are cast asunder.

Smith produced this work early in his career. Perhaps he knew the subject well.

Signed bottom right, framed and glazed.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
