Notes | The subject of the picture is based on the Welsh romance in the Mabinogion, The Story of Kilwych and Olwen. Kilhwych, surrounded by his favourite greyhounds is about to set out in search of his destined love, Olwen. The style of the painting and tempera technique is inspired by that of fifteenth century Italian art. Gaskin went to Italy in 1897 with Joseph Southall who had already given him lessons in tempera painting. | Presented anonymously, 1914. |
