Catalogue Winter 2008 GP 001-010 20/10/08 13:04 Page 1 We have now been in our gallery in Mason’s Yard, St. James’s, for exactly a year, and this winter catalogue serves as something of an anniversary celebration. Our location ensures plenty of visitors and we have both enjoyed being based in the centre of the London art market. While we maintain our separate businesses, the benefits of a shared gallery have proved to be considerable. Traditionally the fields of British Watercolours on the one hand, and Old Master, 19th century and Modern Drawings on the other, have each had their own collectors, auctions and exhibitions. This is our first joint catalogue and its aim, and indeed the aim of the gallery as a whole, is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas, and hopefully show that a good drawing is always a good drawing, whoever the artist and whatever the date. The catalogue includes a wide range of British and European drawings and watercolours ranging in date from the early sixteenth century until the present day. As a glance at the enclosed price list will show, the prices of the drawings and watercolours are equally broad in scope, from £300 to £9,000, with a large number of interesting works at the lower end of this range. Drawings and watercolours by well established artists can be very affordable, and interesting works by minor or little known artists especially so. There is much in this catalogue for the novice collector, as well as for the more experienced connoisseur. Our respective individual catalogues of more significant drawings will be issued in 2009 and will, as ever, each be accompanied by exhibitions at our gallery. In the meantime, we are delighted to present this winter catalogue of more moderately priced works. We hope you find something in it to interest you, and look forward to seeing you at the gallery over the coming months. Guy Peppiatt Stephen Ongpin GP 001-010 20/10/08 14:21 Page 2 Guy Peppiatt started his working life at Dulwich Picture Gallery before joining Sotheby’s British Pictures department in 1993. He soon specialised in early British drawings and watercolours and took over the running of Sotheby’s Topographical and Travel sales. Topographical views, whether they be of Britain or worldwide, have remained an abiding passion. Guy left Sotheby’s in early 2004 and has worked as a dealer since then, first based at home, and now in his gallery on Mason’s Yard, St James’s. Guy’s main yearly exhibition of early drawings and watercolours is in June and he also exhibits at the Watercolours and Drawings Fair at the Royal Academy in late January and the Winter Olympia Art and Antiques Fair in November. He also advises clients on their collections, buys and sells on their behalf and can provide insurance valuations. Stephen Ongpin has more than twenty years of experience as a dealer in Old Master and 19th century drawings. He began his career in 1986 at the long-established gallery of P. & D. Colnaghi, working at the firm’s New York branch for ten years before moving to London in 1996. Working closely with Jean-Luc Baroni, Stephen was responsible for organizing the drawings exhibitions mounted by the gallery, and for researching, writing, and editing their annual catalogues of Master Drawings. In 2001 he joined Baroni in forming Jean-Luc Baroni Ltd. in London, with Stephen continuing to assume responsibility for the new firm's drawing department, organizing their successful drawings exhibitions and writing the accompanying catalogues. He has to date researched and written nearly thirty scholarly catalogues of drawings. Since 2006 Stephen has worked as an independent dealer and consultant in the field of Old Master, 19th century and Modern drawings. He mounts annual exhibitions of drawings in both London and New York, and also issues regular catalogues. The following catalogue is divided into two sections, with Guy Peppiatt’s British drawings and watercolours numbered from 1 to 50, and Stephen Ongpin’s Old Master, 19th and 20th Century drawings numbered from 51 to 100. A price list is included with the catalogue. The drawings will be available for viewing from the receipt of the catalogue.

  • Does Early Colonial Art Provide an Accurate Guide to the Nature and Structure of the Pre-European Forests and Woodlands of South
    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

Provenance: Colonel Gould Weston, his sale, Christie’s, 15th July 1958, lot 125 as part of an album; Ralph Holland (1917-2012) Thornhill was the most important painter of interiors in the early eighteenth century and was the first British artist to be knighted, on his appointment to sergeant-painter to the King in 1720. His most celebrated works are the interior of the Great Hall at Greenwich and the dome of St. Paul’s, London. He also worked in a number of great English houses, including Blenheim, Hampton Court, Chatsworth, Easton Neston and Wimpole. This drawing may be linked to the work that Thornhill did for Isaac Loader (b.1653) at Deptford. Loader was an anchor maker by profession and was appointed Sheriff of Deptford in 1701. Ralph Thoresby (1658-1725) visited Loader’s house in 1714 and records that `the gardens are surprisingly fine and large: there are Mr Thornhill’s paintings in the Bagnio, and other garden-houses’ (see R.

  • James Duffield Harding (London 1798 - London 1863)
    James Duffield Harding (London 1798 - London 1863) Bologna watercolour over pencil heightened with bodycolour and gum arabic 19.6 x 29.4 cm (7¾ x 11½ in) In this delightful watercolour James Duffield Harding’s has combined the timeless classicism of the city with such a charming theatrical portrayal of human interaction. The result is a truly radiant expression of the Emilia-Romagnan capital. In the foreground, Harding has depicted a group of figures in close interaction with one another. Five ladies, two gentlemen and one dog form a figural arch, the shape of which is loosely guided by the hats and headdress of the individuals. The rich overlap of the ladies’ skirts renders the individual forms more or less indistinguishable, creating a lively visual flow which seems to illustrate the conversation and further unify the group. As the dog looks eagerly beyond the group, the viewer is alerted to the presence of a mother and child dressed in rags at the periphery of the arch, tentatively approaching their well-dressed counterparts. As the eye is drawn along from this figural interplay to the classical architecture which frames the cityscape, Harding surprises the viewer with the figure of another lady who is leaning over the balustrade contemplating the view below. She is faceless; invisible but for her colourful dress and hat. The faceless form of this lady is cleverly mirrored by her classical companions who stand atop the architecture, their backs to the city; similarly surveying the view below which is inaccessible to the viewer. The present work was engraved by Edward Finden and published in Finden’s Illustrations of the Life and Works of Lord Byron.

  • Prowling Lion SOLD REF:- 150813 Artist: JAMES WILLIAM GILES
    Prowling Lion SOLD REF:- 150813 Artist: JAMES WILLIAM GILES Height: 104.14 cm (41") Width: 142.24 cm (56") 1 https://johnbennettfinepaintings.com/prowling-lion 30/09/2021 Short Description Prowling Lion James Giles was born in Glasgow in 1801, the son of a textile designer. It appears that the family moved to Aberdeen when he was comparatively young as he studied at the Aberdeen Art School and he spent most of his life there, sending his paintings for exhibition from an address in Bon Accord Street. Giles had shown an early aptitude for painting and was decorating the lids of snuff boxes with animal and human portraits when aged only thirteen. While he was studying anatomy he was also teaching drawing at the Aberdeen public drawing classes and when not engaged in either of these, would venture out into the Highlands to sketch from nature. In 1823, he made a very advantageous marriage to Clementine Farquharson which gave him the financial stability and support to travel abroad to both study and paint. He went first to London where he received his first formal art instruction and then to Paris to train under the French history painter Jean François Regnault. After that, he spent a year travelling through Italy where he made forty copies of Old Master paintings which were exhibited in the Ashmolean, Oxford in 1970. His Italian journey started in 1824 where he went to initially to Genoa via Toulon and Marseilles. From there he travelled to Florence, Siena and then Rome where he spent Christmas 1824 and then on to Naples before making his return to Scotland by way of Venice and Switzerland.
