A stunning portrait in chalk and charcoal of Senorita Margarita De Lassaleta, by well known portrait artist Percy Harland-Fisher (1865-1944). The portrait is on paper laid on board, which has been exposed to woodworm. This could be restored quite easily, but even in its current state is a wonderful portrait of a very beautiful young lady. Image 1a is an example what it could look like mounted and re-sized. The work has been 'fixed' with Daler- Rowney colourless anti-UV fixative spray. Percy Harland Fisher was a talented portrait artist from an early age, regularly exhibiting at the Royal Academy from the age of 17, The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and The Royal Society of Artists, London. He experimented with a wide variety of media and during the 1920s and 1930s increasingly working in pastel and exhibited his works regularly at The Royal Pastel Society. His works in oil have commanded significant prices, notably 'The Sisters' which sold for $40,320 at Christie's in Oct 2023.
