Lot 519

*Morton-Sale (John (1901-1990)). Cat and falling leaves, watercolour, signed by artist to lower left, slight staining, some adhesion marks in margins but not affecting image, 330 x 300 mm, together with Morton-Sale (Isobel), Girl and Reindeer, oval watercolour, signed by artist to lower left, some adhesion marks to margin but not affecting image, 425 x 345 mm Isobel Morton-Sale was an artist and illustrator born into a Chelsea family which moved in literary and artistic circles, where the Rossettis and their friends were still remembered. Her love of drawing was apparent from an early age. She went to the Central School of Art, where she met fellow-artist John Morton-Sale, whom she married in 1924. Although their work is quite distinct they were an inspiration to each other. Together they founded the Parnassus Gallery, well-known for outstanding reproductions of great and lesser-known works of art. Isobel's work was exhibited from 1979 to 1983 at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and a retrospective exhibition of paintings by both John and Isobel was held at the Maas Gallery, in London, in 1984. Her work is characterised by a distinct delicacy of style and sensitivity of colour, and although she had an acuteness of observation, a sense of enchantment in her paintings pervades the realism of the captured moment.
