Stevengraph silk portrait - so86

by Austin Sprake:
The title and "woven in silk" are printed in gold. Full length picture of Psyche un-dressing at the bath with reflections of her feet in the blue water. Mount usually dark green without gilding and no trade label.

by Geoffrey Godden:
This upright picture shows THE BATH OF PSYCHE, after the original by the famous Victorian artist Sir Frederick Leighton (1830-96). His painting was shown at the Royal Acadamy in 1890 and was purchased for the Chantrey Bequest at a price of 1,000 guineas. The title is not given on the Stevens printed labels, and it would appear from the type of card-mount that this is a purely twentieth-century subject. It is a rare and imposing silk. The card-mount, which has the title printed in gold, should measure 15 inches long by 8 1/4inches wide and as such is exceeded in size only by the large views of Coventry and Kenilworth Castle.
