"The Spot of Art" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom in December 1929, and in Cosmopolitan in the United States that same month, as "Jeeves and the Spot of Art". The story was also included as the sixth story in the 1930 collection Very Good, 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. However, Jeeves does not care for Gwladys or the portrait, and wants to go with Bertie on the cruise.
