* CATHLEEN SABINE MANN RP ROI (BRITISH 1896 - 1953),THE PORTRAIT OF GRETAoil on canvas, signed and dated 194490cm x 70cmFramed.Note: Cathleen Mann was born in Newcastle upon Tyne on 31 December 1896 to the Scottish portrait painter Harrington Mann, the second of his three daughters. Her mother was the portraitist and interior director Florence Sabine Pasley. Harrington Mann taught Cathleen the art of painting, as did the portrait painter Ethel Walker, and she received further instruction while studying at the Slade School in London. Mann's art career was put on hold owing to the First World War, when she worked with an ambulance unit. By 1924 Mann had two portraits in the Royal Academy, and exhibited there regularly from 1930. Her work was displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Musée du Luxembourg, and the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. Two of her portraits hang in the National Portrait Gallery: Sir Matthew Smith and Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (both oil on canvas, 1952). Cathleen married Francis Douglas, 11th Marquess of Queensberry on 18 March 1926. She was known as the Marchioness of Queensberry until their divorce in 1946. They had two children, David Douglas, 12th Marquess of Queensberry and a daughter. In 1946, she married John Robert Follett, son of Brigadier-General Gilbert Burrell Spencer Follett and Lady Mildred Follet, daughter of Charles Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore. Follett was a racehorse owner. He died in 1953, aged 46. Follet's death caused Mann to have a nervous breakdown. She befriended the artist Matthew Smith and was influenced by his work. As a result, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography opines that her best work occurred during the last ten years of her life. Mann committed suicide in 1959 by taking an overdose of sleeping pills in her studio on Montpelier Walk, Brompton after being diagnosed with another attack of tuberculosis. Following her death, this epitaph appeared in The Times:Mr. H. Rowntree Clifford writes - "Many hundreds of people living in the dock district of south West Ham during the September bombing of 1940 owe their lives to the determination and courage of the late Cathleen Mann. As Marchioness of Queensberry she used her name and the strength of her personality to break through official difficulties and to commandeer transport by both road and rail to carry numbers of helpless and in some cases crippled people to safety. I remember the humble duty she offered to those who were deprived of their families."
JAMES WHITELAW HAMILTON RSA RSW NEAC (SCOTTISH 1860 - 1932), THE OLD FARMHOUSE oil on board, signed 25cm x 35cm Framed. Note: James Whitelaw Hamilton was born on 26 November 1860, the eldest child to wood turner James Hamilton and his wife Mary Stevenson of 1 Morris Place Glasgow. His parents moved the family to Helensburgh and lived at Thornton Lodge, 107 Sinclair Street, Helensburgh. Whitelaw Hamilton displayed an aptitude for painting at an early age, and after studying in Glasgow, he moved to Paris and studied at the studios of Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret and Aimé Morot, both considered leading lights of the 19th Century French Movement - specialising in landscapes and portraiture. Whitelaw Hamilton's landscapes have a rugged and raw quality but he did not limit his work to one medium being equally successful using oils, pastels and watercolours. Not surprisingly, given Helensburgh's reputation as a centre for artists, Whitelaw Hamilton became friends with the Glasgow Boys. In 1884, he joined Guthrie, Henry, Crawhall and Melville at Cockburnspath. EA Walton, who spent his winters at Thornton Lodge, and James Guthrie were to remain friends with Whitelaw Hamilton throughout their lives. They shared similar ideals and spent many years in Helensburgh recording the urban lifestyle of the wealthy residents in the town. Whitelaw Hamilton married Lillian Millar Shaw of 12 Lynedoch Place, Glasgow at St Mary's Episcopal Church on 9 September 1891. He and Lillian took residence in the Grange, 23 Suffolk Street, Helensburgh, the home that he was to remain in for the rest of his life. Whitelaw Hamilton exhibited abroad as often as he did at home. He became a member of the Munich Secession and won a gold medal at the Munich International Exhibition in 1897. He became a member of the New English Art Club in 1887, a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1922 and a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1895. He also held the position of Hon. Secretary, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. He suffered personal loss in 1918, when his son Lt. Arthur Leslie Hamilton was killed in action in Mesopotamia on 25 October, serving with the 1st Highland Light Infantry. A portrait of his son was completed by James Guthrie and is held within the collection of the Glasgow Art Gallery. James Whitelaw Hamilton died in Helensburgh on 16 September 1932 aged 71. His work is represented in Glasgow Art Gallery, Perth Art Gallery, City of Edinburgh Collection, Lillie Art Gallery, The Hunterian, Perth & Kinross Council, Kirkcaldy Museums & Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries, Dundee Art Gallery, Kelvingrove, The Royal Scottish Academy, Walker Art Gallery, Weimar Art Gallery in Germany and other public collections.
