Girl Stands in a Field Reading Her Book. Harold Knight (English, 1874-1961).
After spending time in Paris, studying art under Jean-Paul Laurens and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant, then at Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast, Harold Knight moved in 1907, with Laura, to Newlyn, a fishing port in Cornwall, where they became part of the Newlyn School.

The Reader (c.1910). Harold Knight (English, 1874-1961). Oil on canvas. Royal Pavilion, Libraries & Museums, Brighton & Hove.
Knight studied at Nottingham School of Art under Wilson Foster. It was there that he met his future wife, Laura Johnson. Harold was a quiet character who is largely remembered, unfairly, as an adept but unexciting painter, while Laura (later Dame Laura) was flamboyant in both her life and art and achieved greater public renown.

The eerie concerns the unknown; when knowledge is achieved, the eerie disappears. [...] There must be also be a sense of alterity, a feeling that the enigma might involve forms of knowledge, subjectivity and sensation that lie beyond common experience.
Mark Fisher, The Weird and the Eerie
