Royal Doulton, Leslie Harradine
Two seated ladies by Leslie Harradine, modelled to sit side by side. They turn in toward each other, both hold flowers, both wear hats, and their skirts are the ones a lady would have worn around 1800 to 1820.
These two are in red, the rarest colour for each, and were made in 1941 and 1942, at the end of the years Ed Pascoe calls the finest for Royal Doulton's painting, above all in the faces. He tells the story below.
"They are a great example of pieces that are obviously made to go together. Even the way they are sitting, both looking in toward the center." Ed Pascoe
Daydreams HN1944 is here. The red Chloe beside her in the film has found a home.
