Condition The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration to the paper, and some creasing to the corners.Collection Information Whilst very little is known about William Henry Ladd, he was born c.1892 and studied at the South Kensington School of Art, which later became the Royal College of Art, and where several in this collection were submitted as final exam pieces. Capturing the spirit of Edwardian England, Ladd's portraits are particularly accomplished, reminiscent of the Slade School artists at the turn of the century, in particular the work of Alphonse Legros (1837-1911) and the drawings and etched portraits of William Strang (1859-1921). His illustrative design work is also clearly influenced by the leading textile designers of the period, including Lewis Day, Walter Crane and William Morris, with a particular focus on floral and botanical motifs bridging the Arts and Crafts movement with the Art Nouveau. Whilst many works are signed by Ladd, all are by his hand and were acquired as a single portfolio. You can view our full collection of these here.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way. View All Artworks View More -->
