EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of leisure and athleticism in Hertingfordbury, England, back in 1910. Painted by Spencer Frederick Gore, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the beauty of English countryside combined with the excitement of sport. The painting measures 40.5x50.8 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. In this impressionist-style piece, we see a group of ladies elegantly dressed in Edwardian attire engaging in a game of tennis on a grass court. Their flowing dresses and stylish hats add an air of sophistication to their athletic pursuits. Each player holds a tennis racquet firmly yet gracefully as they focus on hitting the ball over the net. The scene exudes both competitiveness and camaraderie among these women who have come together to enjoy this popular pastime. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his skillful depiction of not only their clothing but also the lush green surroundings that frame their play. This artwork serves as a reminder that sports can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life, transcending time and place. It immortalizes an era when tennis was not just about physical activity but also about social interaction and personal expression through fashion choices.
