Golf Watercolour Painting By Charles Ambrose, Evan Charters.
Original watercolor en grisaille on board of a male golfer by Charles Ambrose. Ambrose was a notable portrait painter of famous figures including golfers such as Harry Vardon, James Braid, J.H. Taylor. This is the original artwork for the illustrated series of personalities for the Edwardian publication 'Country Life', it was a concept very similar to 'Vanity Fair', but the images more portrait than caricature. The golf picture has been framed in a black frame with burgundy undercoat, the glazing is clarity+ premium synthetic glass.
Little is known of the British artist. He worked in oils, pen and ink and watercolours and was primarily an illustrator for the earlier magazines, illustrating personalities of the day, golfers, cricketers, croquet players and tennis players.
The watercolur is a brush and black ink and wash heightened with white on grey coloured card, signed to the front and inscribed on the reverse in pencil (photographed before framing), possibly ''Evan Charters, (I have treated this drawing in a new way: if you like it , please reproduce it as large as possible, Ca)."
