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.

Although the areas of Old Master drawings, early British drawings and watercolours, 19th Century and Modern drawings have long been regarded as disparate fields, part of the purpose of this annual catalogue is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas. The works we have selected for this catalogue will hopefully show that a fine drawing or watercolour – whoever the artist and whatever the date – is always worthy of note. As the enclosed price list shows, the prices of the drawings in this catalogue are equally broad in scope – from well under £1,000 to around £15,000 – with most of the works at the lower end of this range.

  • William Turner of Oxford (1789-1862)
    William Turner of Oxford (1789-1862) By LUKE HERRMANN HE working life of William Turner of Oxford was immediately preceded T by the most vital period in the emergence of the English water-colour school, and coincided exactly with the most revolutionary years in the history of English landscape painting. But in these stirring movements William Turner played no part, and there was no great originality in his painting and drawing. He was one of many competent and skilful artists whose work provided the backcloth of tradition and solid achievement against which the more gifted artists could develop. Constable, De Wint, Girtin, J. M. W. Turner and John Varley were all between ten and twenty years older than William Turner, who was born in 1789. Other artists born in the 1780's includeJ. S. Cotman, David Cox, Copley Fielding and Samuel Prout. William Turner was considerably influenced by several of these men, but it is unlikely that he in his turn had any influence on them. He ranks as a pleasing minor artist, whose work in water-colours occasionally, especially in his early years, rose to considerable heights. Among the artists who Bved and worked ill Oxford, of whom there are relatively few, he is certainly the best-knowll ; and, of course, the fact that he has always been known as Turner of Oxford, to distinguish him from his great contemporary, J. M. W. Turner, who was fourteen years his senior, has meant that his Oxford associations have never been forgotten. Thus it is fitting that the centenary of his death should be marked in this journal.
