Daphne Charlton

Daphne Charlton ( Gribble; 1909–1991) was a British artist.

Biography Charlton was born near York in the north of England and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1927. At the Slade she met her future husband, George Charlton, who was a teacher there and whom she married in 1929. The couple settled in Hampstead in north London and the area became a frequent subject of her paintings. Spencer painted several other portraits of Charlton, including the 1940 picture, now in the Tate, Daphne with her wearing a fashionable hat he bought for the sittings. One of Charlton's paintings of Spencer shows an unhappy individual resting against a pillow.
