    Settled in the broad open countryside of West Suffolk, Denston Hall is a fine GradeII listed house built in the early 18th century incorporating parts of an earlierhouse dating back to the 16th century, with mature gardens and moat.

    The Hall has an interesting history. In 1564, Henry Cheyney made over the manorof Denston to William Burd without licence to alienate from the Crown. WilliamBurd died in 1591, and by 1602 the estate had passed to his son, but was seized bythe Crown, for debt and leased to Sir John Robinson. In 1617 it was bought byWilliam Robinson, in whose family it stayed until the early part of the 19th century.The front part of the Hall is early 18th century red brick while the 16th centuryearlier parts of the house to the rear have Tudor arch windows and doorways. Theinterior has a circular hall with public rooms to the left and right of it, circa 1770,with plaster ceilings with Adam style ornamentation.

    The current owners furnished the house in an elegant but relaxed, traditionalcountry house style with period furniture, paintings and works of art, in keepingwith the nature of the Hall and its history.

    Clrisseau was a Frenchartist and architect, and a keyfigure in the development ofthe Neo-classical style duringthe 18th century. He trainedas an architect in Paris beforestudying at the FrenchAcademy in Rome. It was inRome, surrounded bycrumbling ruins and underthe tutelage of Giovanni PaoloPanini, that he developed apassion for the antique. Thispassion would ultimatelyshape both his architecturaland artistic practices.

    Clrisseaus influence wasextensive. He acted as mentorand drawing instructor foryoung artists and architects,filtering his taste for theantique down to the nextgeneration. He also workedwith key figuresinternationally, creating aseries of never-realised over-the-top designs for theRussian Empress Catherine IIand working with ThomasJefferson to produce designsfor the Virginia State Capitol.Most famously, Clrisseauwas a key influence on thearchitect Robert Adam. Adamwas travelling, looking for astyle that would allow him todistinguish himself from otheryoung British architects.

    Clrisseau was the key, withAdam proclaiming, he drewdelightfully in the freemanner I wanted and hadthe utmost knowledge ofArchitecture of Perspective, &of Designing and Colouring Iever saw. They workedtogether on a volume, Ruinsof the Palace of the EmperorDiocletian at Spalato (1764)and though uncredited manyof the engravings are nowthought to be by Clrisseau.

    Clrisseau also paintedatmospheric watercolour andgouache paintings of hisfavoured antique ruins. Theselovely paintings foundcommercial success; theywere regularly purchased ascultural souvenirs by youngEnglish gentlemen on theirGrand Tour. The offered pairof signed and dated gouachesare typical examples of thesepopular paintings. Thesecharming studies featurefantasy architecturalstructures, bathed in light andshadow, overgrown withfoliage and populated withfigures and animals; alltechniques that serve tohighlight the majesty andmagnitude of the crumblingstructures.

    Juriaen van Streeck excelledat still life painting, as provenby this example. A Still Life ofLemons, Peaches and Grapesin a niche with swags is amasterful study of contrasts:from the dark, shadowyrecess of the alcove to thelight, bright highlights on thecentral lemons and theglistening sparkle of thegolden threaded tassels.

    In The Great Theatre ofNetherlandish Painters andPaintresses (De GrooteSchouburgh derNederlantscheKonstschilders en

    Schilderessen), published in1718-21, Arnold Houbrakenundertook an ambitious art-historical study, compiling adictionary of more than 600Dutch artists from the 17thcentury, with shortbiographies and hisassessment of their artisticoutput. Regarding vanStreeck, he wrote He choseas his subjects all sorts ofstill life . . . which hecomposed with such goodjudgement, that one [object]balanced out another verywell. He observed his lightand browns admirably well,

    and had a bold brush [stoutpenceel], letting the power ofhis brushwork to measureitself against nature.

    His talent was alsoacknowledged commercially,with buyers including high-profile Amsterdam citizensincluding Nicolaes Bambeeck,a wealthy wool merchantwhose portrait was painted byRembrandt, and the Reynstfamily, two brothers who weresuccessful merchants,members of the town counciland art collectors.

    In A Busy Dutch Townscape withfigures skating on a frozen canal bymoonlight, Meyers amazingattention to detail is apparent, downto the silver criss-crossing marksleft by the skaters on the ice. Meyerfinished works like these to be sold,and paintings with seasonal themesand activities were especiallypopular. They were inspired by 17th-century traditions, by artists such asPieter Bruegel the Elder. The keybuildings: the church, bridge andwindmill are individually identifiableas landmarks in the town he madehis home, Haarlem. Though itappears that in this instance, Meyerhas rotated their locations to createan ideal composition.

    At first glance, the overallimpression of Sandbys Welshlandscape is of classicismand tranquillity. Closerexamination reveals that thescene is alive with Sandbystypically unique vision ofactivity and industry. In theforeground a milkmaid restswith her child under a greatoak, to the right a shepherddrives sheep down a steeppath. Two men peer over acliff observing a horseman,possibly a redcoat officer onthe heels of a coach andhorses. The river winds past a

    castle and beyond the bend inthe river, in the far distance, apuff of steam suggests a trainhurtling along.

    Sandby visited Wales threetimes; firstly in 1770 when hestayed at Wynnstay, the estateof the great art collector SirWatkin Williams-Wynn,returning the following yearfor a six week tour of NorthWales with Williams-Wynn(and an entourage of nineservants). In 1773 he touredSouth Wales with JosephBanks and the naturalistDaniel Solander.

    Sandby was admired for thefidelity of his landscapepainting but they can beadmired equally as genrepaintings. Deeply patriotic,Sandbys landscapes presentthe worthy British people,nourished by nature and oftenprotected by a soldier orsailor (he himself was chiefdrawing master at the RoyalMilitary Academy and viewedthe military as guardians ofthe realm).

    The paintings produced forpatrons were largely executedin watercolour. Sandby used

    bodycolour or gouache, as isthe case here, when apainting was intended forpublic exhibition. The coloursof gouache are deeper andstronger than watercolour.Contrasts are bolder,ensuring these works wouldstand out at the RoyalAcademy exhibitions.

    A national bicentenarycelebration and selection ofrecent exhibitions at the RoyalSociety, National Galleries ofScotland and AshmoleanMuseum have broughtattention back to the role inwhich Edward Lear definedhimself; as artist. Hisnonsense poetry andlimericks have ensured hisenduring appeal andrecognition but in his lifetime,he earned his living drawingand painting.

    Lear commenced paintingunder the instruction of hiselder sister and surrogatemother, Ann. By age sixteenhe was using these skills toearn a living, firstly bypainting decorations on

    ladies fans and documentingmedical afflictions beforebecoming a seriousornithological draftsman forthe Zoological Society andLord Derby. This detailed andintricate work resulted in thedeterioration of his alreadypoor eyesight and as a lessintricate alternative, heturned to topographicalsketching. He created truthfuland lyrical watercolourdepictions of landscapes tocapture the scenes, withplans to work up in oil andprint later. In his lifetime,these sketches wereconsidered preparatory worksand inferior to any fullyrealised paintings. Now,however, their beauty and

    evidence of the artists eye,talent and intentions arerecognised and highly prized.

    In August 1836, Lears Patron,Lord Derby, suggested hevisit the Lake District. Despitean extremely rainy start to thetrip, Lear had an enjoyableand productive time, walkingand painting for up to twelvehours a day. He wrote to hiscolleague, John Gould, Reallyit is impossible to tell youhow, & how enormously, Ihave enjoyed the wholeAutumn. The counties ofCumberland and Westmd aresuperb indeed, & tho theweather has been miserable,yet I have contrived to walkpretty well over the wholeground, & to sketch a good

    deal beside. I hope too, I haveimproved somewhat.

    On Lears return from theLake District, Lord Derbygenerously funded a trip toRome. As a result, Lear neverworked up his Lake Districtsketches, instead offeringthem as gifts to friendsthroughout his life. Thelandscapes of the continentpleased Lear and the warmclimate improved theepilepsy, asthma andbronchitis that had plaguedhim all his life. For the rest ofhis life Lear spent themajority of his time on thecontinent; travellingextensively and sketchingprolifically.

    Arthur Rackham was theleading figure of what is nowreferred to as the Golden Ageof Illustration whichencompassed the first twodecades of the twentiethcentury in Edwardian Britain.This was a period which sawgreat strides made in thequality of printing technology,not to mention morewidespread literacy amongthe nations population.Nonetheless, the Victorianobsession with fairy talesmaintained a nostalgicfoothold as the age ofindustrialisation continued toaccelerate. Vellum-bound,limited edition books ofstories by the likes of HansChristian Anderson, TheBrothers Grimm, Edgar AllanPoe and Aesops Fables werein strong demand as the idealChristmas gift these

    reminders of a more innocenttime, a treasured possessionin many peoples homes.

    In the early 1890s, Rackhamtrained at the Lambeth Schoolof Art while simultaneouslygrafting at the Pall MallBudget as an illustrativejournalist. These long yearsspent as a hack to makeends meet served him well inthe development of a uniquestyle which would go on tocapture the imagination of thepublic, particularly during hiscareers peak c.1908-1911.

    Though the onset of war andthe dawn of the 1920s saw thepopularity of fantasy fall away,Rackhams work withstoodthe test of time. Regarded bymany, both then and now, tohave eclipsed his peers,critics account his popularityto the clever way in which he

    bridged the darkness at thecore of the fairy tales with asuitably ethereal gentlenessof touch. His nymphs are bothsensuous and chaste, hisfamously anthropomorphictrees simultaneouslythreatening and humorous,and all the while neatly side-stepping the overlysaccharine. Rackhamscharacteristically sinuous lineand his delicate touch with

    colour were perfectly suited tothe tales he depicted and hefilled his scenes with cleverdetail, the kind of whichchildren (and youthful adults!)would spend hours insatiablypouring over.

    Note:A selection of illustrated books byArthur Rackham will be included inour forthcoming book sale on 28thJanuary, 2015.

    The Lanarkshire andRenfrewshire Hunt has a longand prestigious history, theearliest mention on recorddating back to 1771 when theGlasgow Hunt and theRoberton Hunt amalgamated.

    Originally the hunt covered awide territory acrossLanarkshire, Renfrewshireand part of Ayrshire. Over theyears this has been reducedto Renfrewshire alone withlarge areas of Lanarkshirehaving been given over to thequarrying of minerals. Thetown of Houston has been the

    location of the seasonsopening meet since around1850 and the hunts houndshave been kept at kennelsthere for over 150 years.

    During the hunts historythere have been manyillustrious Masters of theHunt, including the wealthyand eccentric sportsmanLord Kelburn (later Earl ofGlasgow) who was known forhis colourful character andkindness towards his animals,Lord Inverclyde and BrigadierJ. W. H. Gow.

    The painting offered here forsale by the Glaswegian artistThomas Robertson featuresone of the Hunts mostimportant Masters, Sir DavidCarrick Buchanan (1849-1893). According to RalphGreaves short history of thehunt published in the 1950s,over the course of 43 seasonsCarrick established theLanarkshire and Renfrewshirehunt on those firm andprosperous lines which it hassince been run. A popularlandowner with a large estateover which the hunt would

    ride, Buchanan was anexceptional horseman andtook a keen interest in thebreeding of the hound pack,his knowledge of the subjectensuring the creation of afirst-rate and indeedprizewinning pack of hounds.He was succeeded by LordEglinton in 1866.

    Many of the same familiesoriginally associated with thehunt still participate and tothis day there remains a longand happy relationshipbetween the hunt and landowners.

    Note:The Scottish Impressionist, WilliamMcTaggart, is known for hisidiosyncratic and atmosphericpaintings of the sea and storms,featuring scenes from both coastsof Scotland. Winter Sunrise is rarein his oeuvre for its depiction of asnowy, wintery scene. McTaggartsdistinctive swirling texturalbrushwork is evident, as is hisfavoured populating of landscapeswith a small grouping of youngchildren in the foreground. Hismastery in the representation ofnature and weather effects isevident in the beautiful tones thatimbue the whole artwork with thesoft, warm light of a crisp wintersmorning.

    Johan Scherrewitz travelledextensively through Holland,painting farming and rurallandscapes with greatsensitivity and realism. Hisemphasis on mans bondwith earth and animalsclosely associatedScherrewitz with both theFrench Barbizon and theHague schools of art.

    The coastal landscape atScheveningen in the Hagueperhaps inspired his verybest works. Scherrewitzexcelled in depicting scenesof traditional fishing life andthe coastal communityworking on the beaches andamong the dunes along theNorth Sea coastline.Scherrewitz was not the firstartist to be attracted to the

    long sandy beach and wildscenery at Scheveningen. Afew years earlier, JozefIsrals and David Artz beganthe tradition and later VanGogh would paint plein air onthe beach.

    Born in Amsterdam in 1868,Scherrewitz descended froman artistic family, his Frenchmother was related to thepainter Antoine Renou (1731-1806). He initially studiedunder the landscape painter,Johan Diderik CornelisVeltens (1814-1894) and laterat the studio of George Jan

    Hendrik Poggenbeek (1853-1903). He was a member ofSt. Lukes Academy inAmsterdam and the Arti etAmicitiae.

    Scherrewitzs reputationspread beyond the shores ofhis native Holland. Heexhibited at the RoyalAcademy in London in 1907,in Liverpool in 1909 and atThe Royal Scottish Academyin 1916. Scotland wasparticularly receptive to thework of the Hague School.The long-standing economic

    and social ties betweenScotland and theNetherlands wereunderpinned by cultural andreligious affinities. Scottishartists such as WilliamMcTaggart had beenattracted to paint Scottishcoastal life after seeingexamples of paintings byDavid Artz among others.Scherrewitzs atmosphericlandscapes were thereforeparticularly resonant withScottish artists and many ofhis paintings were acquiredby British collectors.

Mr. Forbes had found hissubject on the banks of the Thames,which was, according to Evelyn'saccount of the fire, "covered withgoods floating, all the barges andboats laden with what some hadtime and courage to save." Thepicture shows an ancient river-wall,with the burning city in thebackground and middle distance,and in the foreground a motleycrowd of houseless Londonerscarrying their children and theirhousehold treasures down to theboats. Smoke and sparks sweepacross the twilight sky, and the glareif the burning houses reddens theriver from bank to bank. The newpicture for the decoration of theRoyal Exchange has been presentedby the Sun Insurance Company, aninstitution which, fortunately for itsproprietors, did not come intoexistence until more than half acentury after the great fire.'

    Gluckmann is known for hispaintings of women, mainlynudes, and ballet dancers. Hewas never interested in theirfaces, preferring a focus ontheir form, with elegantdepictions of intimate glancesover shoulders and downbacks. The nuque, nape ofthe neck, was a particularfavourite which he painted onmultiple occasions. In theoffered painting, the goldensepia tones add to the eleganteffect of the figures gracefulneck and hair, with only a hintof her facial features in thetiny hint of an eyelash. Thetextured brushwork in thelace of her clothing highlightsthe contrasting smoothnessand delicacy of her skin andhair, and both reveal thetechnical expertise with whichGluckmann painted eachcontrasting texture.

    Born in Belarus in 1898, hecommenced his studies at theAcademy of Fine Arts inMoscow in 1920 but revolutionforced a move to Berlin, thenParis, and a year in Italy by1924. His year in Italy allowedGluckmann to focus onstudying the Renaissancemasters, especially thetechnique of using layered

    colour glazes to create rich,deep tones. In October of1924, he held his first soloexhibition in Paris and hissuccess began, with positivecritical reviews, sales andfurther exhibitions acrossEurope. Looking to develophis professional career, hesettled in Paris. However, by1941 he was on the moveagain, to the south of Franceand then the U.S.A., to escapethe invading German Army inthe Second World War. Heworked in a studio in New

    York and exhibited on bothU.S. coasts before settlingpermanently in California.

    He was close friends with theworld-renowned violinistJascha Heifetz, who alsobecame the largest collectorof his work. His Europeantraining left Gluckmann with areverence for the techniquesof the Old Masters. The oil onpanel technique utilised herewas his preferred method ofworking, a skill he learned inMoscow and developed inItaly. It was a very time-

    intensive technique; eachlayer had to dry completelyover a period of a couple ofdays before work could starton the next layer. However, itallowed the painting to beimbued with a warmth anddepth that has become histrademark. The subjectmatter and painting style,though distinctivelyGluckmann, have a timelessquality.

    Sir William Russell Flint washighly regarded bothprofessionally andcommercially. He held fullmembership of the RoyalAcademy from 1933, led atwenty-year tenure asPresident of the RoyalWatercolour Society, wasawarded a knighthood forservices to the art in 1947 andgranted an exclusive soloshow in the Royal AcademysDiploma Galleries in 1962.Commercially he soldextremely well, with hisartworks appearing in publicand private collectionsworldwide, and his imagesdisseminating into publicconsciousness through arange of limited edition printruns, released both during hislifetime and posthumously.

    Born and raised in Portobello,he trained extensively as alithographer in Edinburghfrom the age of fourteenbefore moving to London to

    pursue illustration, findingsuccess with commissionsfrom the Illustrated LondonNews. Following militaryservice in the First World War,his success meant he wasable to pursue painting full-time, allowing the freedomand flexibility to travelregularly in Europe.

    Flint is best known for hiswatercolour paintings ofsensuous nudes and hedepicted many noted beautiesof his day including VivienLeigh, Elizabeth Webb andMoira Shearer. However, itwas not until he was aged 71in 1953, that he met theembodiment of his ideal ofbeauty in Cecilia Green. Atrained dancer, who turned tomodelling after a bout of

    tuberculosis ended herprofessional dancing career,Cecilia had the strength tohold dynamic poses for longperiods of time. This proved auseful skill when workingwith Flint, an artistnotoriously demanding of hismodels. The tricky posedepicted here reveals theelegance of her sun-kissedlimbs, while the compositionallows Flint to demonstratehis mastery of thewatercolour medium in thedepiction of various textures:smooth skin, sparkling crystaland crushed satin.

    Note:A handwritten note verso from SirWilliam Russell Flint, dated July 20+ 23, 1965, Cecilia, very sunbronzedafter 4 weeks in Majorca with theflower glass she brought me fromVenice.

    In 1939, as war broke out,Harold and Laura Knightretreated to the Malvern Hillson the Herefordshire andWorcestershire border inorder to avoid the Londonbombings. Knight was anofficial war artist and inSeptember the War ArtistsAdvisory Committee invitedher to create a poster for theWomens Land Army. Knightset the scene at the farm ofher friends, the Averills. Shehired two Suffolk Punchhorses and a plough andpainted three Land Army Girlsploughing a cherry orchard.Her original design for theposter was rejected forplacing too much emphasison the horses: the emphasis

    is...so little on the girl that themessage which we wish toconvey would not really get tothe public. Knight adjustedthe composition to includejust one woman, emphasisingthe arduous work which wasessential for food productionduring the war. Knight usedthe composition again for her1940 Royal Academy entry,January 1940 (exhibition no.268, see Royal AcademyIllustrated, London, 1940, p.37). Her work for the WarOffice was a great successand her final, and perhapsmost important commission,was to represent theNuremburg War Trials in1946.

    David Jones is now regardedas one of the most significantModernist writers of hisgeneration. He served withthe Royal Welch Fusiliers onthe Frontline between 1915-1918 and his magnum opus,In Parenthesis, regarded bypeers including T. S. Eliot andW. H. Auden as amasterpiece, is nowrecognised as one of themost important texts inspiredby the First World War.

    Jones, however, primarilyregarded himself as an artist.Having studied at CamberwellArt School and theWestminster School of Art, hebecame an active participantin exhibition societies,including the Seven and Fivegroup alongside the likes ofBen and Winifred Nicholson,Ivon Hitchens and FrancesHodgkins. Jones wasstimulated by the desire tocreate a modern language(visual and literary) thatassimilated his interest inWelsh mythology and hisexploration of the tensionbetween his Catholic faithand an increasingly secularworld.

    He struggled with the loss ofsignification in art and feltthat his peers were turning toabstraction and its nownessas a result. Despite this trendJones remained largelyfigurative in technique andoften chose relativelydomestic subject matter,though his work still evokes agentle poetry and sense ofdeeper meaning.

    The work offered here forsale dates from 1932, asignificant year in many waysfor Jones. By August he hadfinished his first draft of InParenthesis and was in themidst of one of the mostmarkedly creative periods ofhis career. The watercolours

    from these early years of the1930s are regarded by many,including Jones himself, asthe best work he producedthough sadly this period ofimmense productivityculminated in a nervousbreakdown.

    At this time Jones wasspending a lot of timepainting in rural andsuburban locations includinghis parents home inBrockley, Kent. He wouldoften describe views from thewindow of his single room-cum-studio; the gentle,mundane charm of thesurrounding gardens, housesand fields nonethelesscleverly composed. The

    chosen medium ofwatercolour was, as ever, asymbolic decision on Jonespart, being fluid, mutable andevocative of a long Englishtradition fromcontemporaries includingBawden, through Blake andreaching back to medievalilluminations.
