"Sketch For The Tennis Party" is an oil painting created by the renowned Irish artist Sir John Lavery in 1885. Lavery, born in Belfast in 1856, was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century art scene, known for his portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes. This particular work is a preparatory sketch for one of his most celebrated paintings, "The Tennis Party," which captures a leisurely afternoon of tennis, a sport that was gaining popularity among the upper classes during that period.

The sketch reflects Lavery's keen interest in capturing the social dynamics and leisurely pursuits of the British and Irish elite. It showcases his adeptness at rendering figures in motion and his skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of immediacy and vibrancy. The composition is marked by its informal arrangement, with players and spectators casually interacting, which adds a sense of realism and spontaneity to the scene.

Lavery's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the period's fashion, from the women's flowing dresses to the men's sporting attire, providing a glimpse into the sartorial elegance of the time. The setting, likely inspired by the artist's own experiences and observations, is characterized by a lush, verdant landscape that enhances the idyllic atmosphere of the gathering.

"Sketch For The Tennis Party" not only serves as a testament to Lavery's artistic prowess but also offers valuable insights into the social customs and recreational activities of the late Victorian era. The work is a significant piece within Lavery's oeuvre, illustrating his ability to blend genre painting with portraiture and his contribution to the documentation of contemporary life through art.
