Acclaimed by one critic as the modern Meissonier of British Domestic life, Charles Spencelayh was a painter of figure subjects, genre scenes and portraits. He has also been compared to William Powell Frith in his skilful evocation of sentiment and meticulous rendering of detail. He worked in many media achieving great acclaim as a miniaturist, watercolourist and etcher. One of a kind artwork.
