*Greenaway (Kate, 1846-1901). A collection of four original drawings, 1883 & 1884, together four small pencil and watercolour drawings, framed in two pairs, the first of a young girl in a muslin dress tripping along holding a posy aloft, 74 x 49mm (3 x 2ins), mounted above a drawing of a small girl in a fur-trimmed coat and bonnet with muff, titled by the artist in pencil 'One a Penny Buns', 62 x 76mm (2.5 x 3ins), the third showing a young girl in a muslin dress with red sash and necklace sitting on a rock, 61 x 68mm (2.5 x 2.75ins), mounted above a drawing of a small girl in a white gown and mob cap surrounded by pink roses and lying on a cloud, titled by the artist in pencil 'The cloud baby gone to sleep', 15mm closed tear to upper margin (not encroaching on image), 74 x 92mm (3 x 3.5ins), each initialled in pencil and dated 1883 or 1884, each slightly toned, matching gold mounts and frames, glazed A collection of four finely drawn watercolours by one of the most popular British book illustrators of the Victorian era. Kate Greenaway studied art at the Islington School, Heatherley's and at the Slade under Legros, and began to exhibit at the RA in 1877. In the same year she began to work for Edmund Evans, the printer and publisher, who recognised her talent for capturing a world of child-like innocence and Regency charm. She admired the work of Stothard and was a contemporary of Randolph Caldecott, whom she became friendly with, and Walter Crane. Ruskin liked her work, but although he was often lavish with his praise, his criticism could be harsh. Ruskin encouraged Kate to do nature studies in watercolour, as well as larger-scale watercolours, but her attempts to follow his advice were less than successful, and her forte remained her meticulous small-scale watercolours of whimsical children playing in an idyllic countryside, with their delicate colouring and enchanting evocation of the rural life of earlier times.

Circle Thomas Frye (1710-1762) - Portrait of lady, thought to be Dorothea Molyneux Portrait of lady, thought to be Dorothea Molyneux, three-quarter-length, in a silver dress, holding flowers, seated beside a window Bears inscription, 'Katherine Howard Aunt to the 1st./Visct. Wicklow Married in 1693/to Sr. Ts. Molyneux Bt.' Oil on canvas 135 x 106.5cm (53 1/4 x 42 in). The assumption of the identity of the sitter in the present portrait, traditionally understood to be Katherine Howard, was based on the potentially erroneous inscription, said to have been added by Sir Capel Molyneux of Castle Dillon in 1818. It has been suggested that rather than depicting Katherine Howard, it is more likely that the portrait is of her daughter Dorothea Molyneux. Dorothea was born on March 12th, 1718, the youngest child of Sir Thomas Molyneux and Katherine nee Howard. The present painting is traditionally understood to have come from Dillon Castle, the contents of which were sold 2nd to the 5th October 1923.
