Weight also purchased this drawing by Spencer Gore for the collection in 1961. This typical Camden Town subject reflects Weight’s eclectic artistic interests. The drawing is a sketch for Gore’s series of Alhambra Music Hall paintings.
Interior of the Alhambra Music Hall 1905-10 charcoal on paper by Frederick Spencer Gore (1878-1914).
Interior of a crowded theatre with a view of the stage seen from the left-hand side of the 'gods'. Light sketch of a single figure bending forwards, her arms outstretched towards the floor. She resembles a ballerina.
This typical Camden Town subject was popularised by Sickert. It is a sketch for Gore’s series of Alhambra Music Hall paintings completed between 1906 and 1912.
