About the Item

‘Hunt the Slipper’ by Frederick Goodall R.A. (1822-1904). The painting – which depicts a large group of figures playing in English country woodland – is signed and dated 1848. 'Hunt the Slipper' was a popular Georgian and Victorian parlour game made famous in Oliver Goldsmith’s novel ‘The Vicar of Wakefield’. This masterpiece watercolour was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1849. Goodall subsequently painted several smaller copies in both watercolour and oils, one of which hangs in the collection of Sheffield Museum. Frederick Goodall first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1838 aged 16. By the mid-1840’s he had become one of the most critically acclaimed and financially successful painters in Britain. In all Goodall exhibited 127 works at the Royal Academy, 33 at the British Institution, and many others at all the principal 19th century exhibition venues. Goodall was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1852, and a full Royal Academician in 1863.
