POG'S FATHER

Here is an idyllic rural scene by VINCENT PHILIP YGLESIAS. He was a London based artist who exhibited at the RA and various other prestigious establishments from the 1870s until his death in 1911.
This picturesque building with its half timbering evokes a yearning for the simple country life- it might be rather pleasant to live halfway between Larkrise and Candleford.
The name Yglesias is familiar here in Cornwall through the artsit's daughter Phyllis, known and loved as POG. She moved in the artist circle that included Laura Knight (who painted her) and she it was who had the Bird Sanctuary at Mousehole.

This VINCENT PHILIP YGLESIAS painting, in a handsome gold frame, is for sale at the Lander Gallery with an asking price of £1,800.
