Winifred Eugene BALLARD (1885-1921) (under the tutelage of Augustus John and William Orpen) Life study Charcoal drawing from the Chelsea Art School (1903-1907) 62x48cmNote:This collection of competent life drawing studies by Winifred Ballard interestingly illustrate the liberal, progressive nature of Augustus John and William Orpen's short lived Chelsea Art School. Situated in Flood Street in Chelsea and run between 1903 and 1907, the school admitted female pupils who were encouraged to draw from life models, albeit with chaperones, but this was something that previously, societal restrictions had simply not permitted women to do.A whole ten years later in 1913 when Laura Knight exhibited her groundbreaking 'Self Portrait with Model' which depicted herself painting a nude, times were still extremely repressive for women and the response was highly critical. Winifred was 18 years old when she first attended the school. The influence of Augustus John's tutelage (for he did most of the teaching, and by all accounts Orpen was very hands-off) is very apparent in her confident lines and mark-making, and when studying her drawings, we can almost feel the presence of John standing behind his student, guiding and advising her.

Henry Scott TUKE (1858-1929) Young Man Reading (1920) Watercolour, signed and dated 1920, inscribed 'To J. A. H.', 24 x 17cm. Frame size 48.5 x 42cm.The model in this picture is John Alfred Hone (1895-1978). Born in Tewkesbury and served in the Royal Flying Corps (later RAF). On demobilization studied for land agency being one of the four friends who rented Lyndon Lodge London, Tukes parents' old family home. The house was sold in 1921. John Alfred Hone (also known as Jack)joined the Stock Brokers Scott Brothers and became Tukes stock broker and financial advisor and later his executor. Jack was a regular visitor to Falmouth and appeared as a model in many of Tukes major works (see The Registers Of Cornwall Polytechnic Society). He was made a Honorary Life Member of Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society. The picture was a gift to Hone by the artist in 1920 when Hone had been one of the models for 'June Morning' a major work exhibited at the Royal Academy that year. This sensitive watercolour is in excellent condition with no sign of restoration or damage. It has not been examined out of the frame but a slight degree of mount burn is evident. We can see no foxing. It forms part of a private Penwith collection that has been included in this sale. We have been asked if the present work is mentioned in the Tuke registers held by the Tate. It is possible that it is among "Several small studies and sketches" 1920. Of note that year is a portrait of Jack Hone in flying uniform. This was given to the sitter by Tuke.

Henry Scott TUKE (1858-1929) Portrait of Philip Harvey (1883) Oil on panel, initialled and dated 1883, 30.5 x 20.5cm. Frame size 40.5 x 30.5cm.This oil is in the Tuke register (R27) He gave it to the sitter in 1884 and it comes to us from the estate of a descendant of the sitter.Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929) arrived in the fishing town of Newlyn in 1883. Taking residence in Trewarveneth Street, Tuke's studio was owned by local fisherman and sail maker Philip Harvey. A small yet practical space, the studio remained as a sail loft storing Harvey's equiptment whilst also in use by the artist. This lent itself well to Tuke's artistic practice as the everyday life of the area inspired him greatly, as it did with the fellow artists of the Newlyn School. This panel is in excellent condition with no sign of splitting. Under uv light no obvious signs of restoration can be seen. We have added further images and details of provenance

Winifred Eugene BALLARD (1885-1921) (under the tutelage of Augustus John and William Orpen) Life study Charcoal drawing from the Chelsea Art School (1903-1907) 62x48cmNote:This collection of competent life drawing studies by Winifred Ballard interestingly illustrate the liberal, progressive nature of Augustus John and William Orpen's short lived Chelsea Art School. Situated in Flood Street in Chelsea and run between 1903 and 1907, the school admitted female pupils who were encouraged to draw from life models, albeit with chaperones, but this was something that previously, societal restrictions had simply not permitted women to do.A whole ten years later in 1913 when Laura Knight exhibited her groundbreaking 'Self Portrait with Model' which depicted herself painting a nude, times were still extremely repressive for women and the response was highly critical. Winifred was 18 years old when she first attended the school. The influence of Augustus John's tutelage (for he did most of the teaching, and by all accounts Orpen was very hands-off) is very apparent in her confident lines and mark-making, and when studying her drawings, we can almost feel the presence of John standing behind his student, guiding and advising her. Winifred Eugenie BALLARD Born Chester 1885. Daughter of Edward George Ballard, mineralogist, Governor Inspector of Mines in Cornwall circa 1914, living at Trelights near Port Issac. Previously lived in Holland Park, London when Winifred was under the tutelage of Augustus John and William Orpen at Chelsea art school between 1903 and 1907.

Dame Laura KNIGHT (1877-1970) Portrait of Fryn Tennyson Jesse Oil on canvas, signed, 61 x 51cm (frame size 82 x 72cm)A captivating, early portrait by Dame Laura Knight. Although undated, the low pompadour hairstyle, blouse and black ribbon at the neck, would all indicate a date of circa 1910.The sitter has been the subject of much speculation and the previous owner of this work spent considerable time researching the identity of this fair-cheeked young lady with the soulful eyes, satisfying himself and Cornish art historians Austin Wormleighton, Melissa Hardie and Alison Bevan that it was very likely to be of the criminologist, journalist and author Fryn Tennyson Jesse (1888-1958).Tennyson Jesse, a great-niece of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, arrived in Cornwall in 1907 and attended the Forbe's School of Painting in Newlyn. She lodged at Myrtle Cottage with Dod Procter (nee Shaw) and the other members of the 'Myrtage Set' and took an active part in the bohemian ways of Newlyn and Lamorna. Laura Knight described Fryn's 'slender graceful looks' and the journalist and writer Dame Rebecca West said she was 'one of the loveliest girls of her time'.She fitted in well in Cornwall, was intelligent and witty and it was here that she discovered her passion for the written word, encouraged by her great friend Elizabeth Forbes for whom she wrote a play. She also edited Forbes’ journal ‘The Paper Chase’. Prior to the war, she suffered a grisly and debilitating accident when she caught her hand in the propeller of a plane and subsequently underwent amputations and multiple surgeries. She travelled to New York where she had false fingers fitted. However, the lasting damage seems to have been that she became addicted to morphine, which she took to ease the pain during the months after the accident.Despite this, she continued to travel widely and excelled in her writing career; she was one of the first female war correspondents and became a prominent and prolific journalist, criminologist, playwright and novelist, who accomplished a great deal and was widely praised and celebrated in her lifetime.Fryn was a remarkable woman and this portrait of her is a rare and exciting discovery. This oil is in excellent restored condition. Under UV light a little filling of craquelure can be seen
