After winning a Gold Medal in a competition against students of other English art schools, Logsdail continued his glittering career at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Antwerp, winning first prize the first Englishman to do so. His promise recognised by the Royal Household, his 1880 picture The Fish Market was purchased for Osborne House. Spending the next twenty years in Venice, he focussed on the architecture, his The Piazza of St Marks Venice, painted in 1883, being described by the Royal Academy as picture of the year. By 1912, following a change in direction, he was elected to the Society of Portrait painters. Before this, however, he made quite a number of pictures of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges and [I] sold them all at 40 and 35 Guineas each. Skilled as he was at old buildings, and the pictures here show how the merest blush of coloured paint can emphasise old stonework or slates, portraiture suited his lifestyle better. His clients would come to him, he did not need to spend hours sketching in the outdoors. Moreover, they would pay up front and he did not need to sell the pictures after painting them.

His clients would come to him, he did not need to spend hours sketching in the outdoors. Moreover, they would pay up front and he did not need to sell the pictures after painting them. Old buildings were not so obliging. In 1903 he moved to No 5 St Pauls studios, Talgarth Road, Barons Court known to anybody who drives into London along the A4, and moved to Islip in Oxfordshire in 1922. Condition: Very good condition.

William Logsdail (British, 1859-1944)
Est: $500 - $800
William Logsdail (British, 1859-1944), "Study of a Washwoman, Probably for the 'St. Anne's Almshouses, Antwerp'", 1880, oil on wood panel, signed and dated lower left, 9-1/4" x 5-1/2". Framed. William Logsdail, a prolific portrait, landscape and genre painter, is best known for his realistic rendering of everyday figurative "scenes" in markets, squares (piazzas) and church courtyards. Logsdail studied architecture at the Lincoln School of Art and Design, before attending the Academy Royale des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, where he was exposed to naturalism - the art of painting real things in natural, as opposed to staged, settings. While in Belgium, Logsdail painted the peasantry, proletariat and indigent in sweeping cityscapes that later defined his famed Italian scenes. The painting offered here belongs to this tradition, and may represent a pivotal study in the formation of Logsdail's mature works. The open neckline and smock-style chemise that the sitter wears is indicative of a working-class girl, and closely resembles the two central washwomen in his painting of the courtyard at "St. Anne's Almshouses, Antwerp". The hat is all the more telling as it is neither the fashionable poke bonnet nor the typical Dutch/Flemish "hovetcleet" - the white hood seen in Logsdail's 1879-1880 painting of washwomen in the "Fish Market". The headdress anomalies in these works, painted scarely a year apart, strongly suggest that this study and the "St. Anne's Almshouses" influenced his Italian scenes as they were painted around the time Logsdail moved to Venice in the fall of 1880. This reading is all the more plausible since these distinctive cloche-style (Flapper) hats reappear in the crowds of Logsdail's most famous Venetian painting, "The Piazza of St. Mark," which he began sketching upon his arrival in the city.
