"The Spot of Art" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves.

[1] In the story, Bertie has fallen for the artist Gwladys Pendlebury, who painted his portrait, and decides not to go on a yacht cruise in order to be near her.

While lunching with his Aunt Dahlia, Bertie tells her that he will not be able to join her on her upcoming yachting cruise because he has fallen in love with an artist, Gwladys Pendlebury.

Jeeves informs Bertie that Gwladys was in a car accident; she ran over a gentleman's leg.

Bertie returns to London and is shocked by a poster for Slingsby's Superb Soups with an image of his portrait.

The first instance of this occurs in "The Spot of Art", when Jeeves provides Bertie with detailed information about his calculations of Mrs. Slingsby's movements from Paris to Dover or Folkestone and then to London.

A similar interaction also occurs shortly afterward when Jeeves brings up "the poet Scott".

For example, Bertie occasionally repeats his narration almost verbatim in his dialogue, which he does after Jeeves tells him that Gwladys has become engaged to Lucius Pim: After the poster nothing seemed to matter.

[5]The story was illustrated by Charles Crombie in the Strand and by James Montgomery Flagg in Cosmopolitan.

[6] Under the title "Jeeves and the Spot of Art", the story was included in the American edition of the 1939 collection The Week-End Wodehouse.
