Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Impressions of the works titled 'The Bear and the Monkey preparing to attack the Turkey' and 'Corsican Condescension' , satirising Napoleon's invasion of Turkey and the Treaty of Tilsit respectively, are in the collection of the Bodleian Library, Oxford (nos Curzon b.4[168] and Curzon b.12[29]).

George Morland, British 1763-1804- A horse and rider in a stream, an extensive landscape beyond; oil on canvas, signed 'G. Morland' (lower left), 63.4 x 76.5 cm. Note: Morland's landscapes generally bear the influence of several 17th-century Dutch artists, including Jacob van Ruisdael (1628-1682) and Meindert Hobbema (1638-1709). Typical of his style, the present work features a lone, rustic figure and horse in an otherwise empty landscape, the bright colours of the figure's clothing setting him apart from the muted palette of his surroundings. The emptiness of the scene creates a sense of peace and tranquility, romanticising the rural existence with which Morland was so preoccupied.
Follower of Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, RA, British 1793-1867- Two bustling street scenes; oils on panel, each bear signature 'C. Stanfield' (lower left and lower right, respectively), the first inscribed 'WALLINGTON' (inverted, lower left), each 15 x 20.2 cm., a pair (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, often described as 'William Clarkson Stanfield', was a prolific and prominent painter and watercolourist, and the father of painter George Clarkson Stanfield (1828-1878). The inverted inscription on the open street scene without the arch, lower left, appears to read 'Wallington', which is near Croydon. The second scene looks Continental.
