Two painted figures stalk across the tile. On the left is a man with unkempt fair hair, a beard and an ill-fitting suit, carrying a muffled spear in his right hand; he is identified by the initials ‘EJG’ in the top left corner. In front of him is a tall, wiry man, with flowing dark hair, who wears a large pendant and carries a sword. To the right, a speech bubble: ‘ “Go on, I’ll follow thee” '. The tile is industrially produced from pressed dust; on the reverse is an impressed diamond pattern. It is fixed in a (later) wooden frame and stand.

After training in Paris, he contributed to journals, such as 'Punch', ‘Harper’s Weekly’ and the 'Illustrated London News' and became known as an illustrator of Dickens and Bunyan. He also showed large-scale canvasses at the Royal Academy which commented on urban social conditions; a reviewer greeted his ‘Saturday Night in the East End’, 1876, as amongst ‘the most remarkable illustrations of London low-life […] full of grime and flare, and of human uncouthness’. He settled for a time in Broadway, Gloucestershire, where John Singer Sargent painted his wife Alice Faraday (‘Mrs Frederick Barnard’, 1885), and his two daughters Polly and Dorothy (‘Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose’, 1885-86) [Tate, nos. N05901 and N01615] , and his neighbours included Henry James and Edmund Gosse, the latter recording him wearing an ‘enormous stage slouch hat’. The Fitzwilliam Museum also holds a portrait of Dorothy Barnard, the donor, painted by Sargent in 1889. Irving is in costume as Hamlet, and the inscription ‘Go on, I’ll follow thee’ comes from Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 4. One of a series of seven tiles, each depicting a fellow contemporary artist, this design is a caricature of Edward John Gregory RA(1850-1909), with the actor Henry Irving (1838-1905), whom he admired. Gregory initially worked in the drawing office of the P. &; O. Steamship Company in Southampton, but in 1869 came to London to study art. Like Barnard, he was an illustrator, and from 1871 to 1875 worked for 'The Graphic'. From 1875 he exhibited genre paintings and portraits at the Royal Academy, and in 1898 was elected president of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. A contemporary critic described him as a‘good-natured, thoughtful, capable, big burly blond’, with a pronounced stutter, which suggests the figure depicted here, and perhaps also his admiration for Irving, who was known for his mannerisms of voice. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country possibly London London reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware Height cm 15.2 Width cm 15.2 reference media-12444 adlib-media-12444 bc401826-89f8-3971-ac9b-2f5245bf3bde jpeg aa/aa11/C_5C_1949.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926762409 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_5C_1949.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926762409 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_5C_1949.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926762409 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_5C_1949.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926762409 1 image 0 media image reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile history note Bequeathed by Miss Dorothy Barnard, the artist’s daughter 1 reference object-3851 adlib-object-3851 1fa07241-5c29-30e8-a9e3-ef3f26063138
