      § Daphne Charlton (1909-1991)

      Est: £400 - £600

      § Daphne Charlton (1909-1991) Franz Osborn at the piano signed 'Daphne Charlton' (lower right) oil on canvas 75.5 x 63cm Born Daphne Gribble in 1909, Charlton left her north Yorkshire home in 1927 to pursue her artistic training at the Slade School of Fine Art where she fell under the tutelage of artist and lecturer, George Charlton. Described as a quiet and romantic gentleman, quite at odds with the forthright and ebullient Daphne, George is said to have proposed to Daphne shortly after meeting. The pair would marry in 1929, when Daphne was just 19 and George, 30. After settling in Hampstead, in 1939 an extended visit from George’s friend of several years, Stanley Spencer, would dramatically alter the profile of the Charlton’s marriage, as Daphne and Spencer embarked upon a two-year affair. Far from a covert liaison, the affair between the two was conducted publicly and with the approval of George, whose friendship with Stanley Spencer was seemingly unaffected by the dalliance. Although relatively brief, the creative yield of the affair was enormous, with Daphne featuring in several of Spencer’s most well-known works, including The Woolshop, Village Life and, of course, her numerous appearances in his Scrapbook drawings. Although artistically fertile, on occasion the relationship between Spencer and Daphne descended into a tumultuous welter. As she recalls, whilst sitting for a portrait, Spencer would deliberately reduce her to tears. Nobody else, she claimed, could provoke such a reaction. After their romantic union dissolved, the Charltons and Spencer remained close friends. In the present lot, Charlton depicts German-born Jewish pianist, Franz Osborn, seated, in profile, at his instrument. Sadly, very little biographical information regarding the life of Osborn exists, though he is known to have fled to London when the National Socialists rose to power in his native Germany. Utilising a carefully modulated palette of yellows and browns, Charlton’s quiet and considered portrait of Osborne communicates a gentle air of introspection.

      Daphne Charlton - Self Portrait

      Est: £500 - £700

      oil on canvas executed circa 1933 12 x 10 in., 30.5 x 25.4 cm Daphne Charlton was a student at the Slade School of Art, as was Stanley Spencer, and her husband George taught there. The Charltons were introduced to Spencer in 1939 and from then on he often visited them at their Hampstead home. All three went on a painting holiday together in the summer of 1939 to Leonard Stanley, a remote village in Gloucestershire. During this stay Daphne Charlton painted Spencer's portrait, and soon after their return to London Spencer produced a large scale portrait of her, which sits in the Tate collection, London.
