EDITORS COMMENTS

The artwork, measuring 71.5x85.5 cm, showcases a delightful scene set in a lush garden with a charming greenhouse in the background. In this Victorian-era masterpiece, we witness an elegant gathering of society members engaging in a leisurely pastime. Men and women dressed impeccably come together to enjoy a game that combines skill and camaraderie. With mallets in hand, they take turns hitting wooden balls across the perfectly manicured lawn. A sense of joy and friendly competition fills the air as players strategize their moves while their faithful spaniel companion eagerly watches from afar. The vibrant colors used by Leech bring life to every detail of this enchanting scene. This painting not only captures the essence of genteel socializing but also highlights the importance of recreation during this era. It serves as a reminder that amidst busy lives, taking time for leisure activities can foster connections and create cherished memories. As we gaze upon "A Nice Game for Two or More" we are transported back to an era where sport was not just about winning but about enjoying each other's company within nature's embrace. This remarkable piece is now part of The British Sporting Art Trust collection, reminding us of our rich cultural heritage through artistry like Leech's exceptional work.
