Copies of his most amusing verse were painted on china of which this lot is an example. Crawhill's work "carries the same freshness of colour and boldness and informality of touch that was so much a part of the work of William Nicholson and James Pryde, the Beggarstaff brothers, at the turn of the (20th) century. They in turn derived much of their inspiration for working in bold colours and broad lines from Joseph Crawhall. " In his work he often collaborated with his son Joseph, who in turn influenced and was influenced by his contemporaries E A Walton, George Henry, and the other Glasgow Boys.
