Edwin Edwards, British 1823-1879,Between the Poplars, Sunbury, (Fantin in the foreground), 1861;etching on wove paper, signed and dated 61 within the plate, inscribed in pencil verso, sheet: 16 x 25 cm, Note: together with thirteen further etchings by the same artist, the first seven of which are of views along the Thames, as follows: Sunbury, 1861; Lilly Falls, Sunbury, 1861; Sunbury Back Water; The Weir, Sunbury, 1861; Under the Willows, Maple Durham, 1861; Three Willows, Maple Durham Weir on the Thames, 1861; Tow Path, Sunbury, 1861; Upper Pool from Cherry Garden Pier, 1869; Hampton Court Palace from the Garden, 1862; Poplars at Twickenham with Charles Leland, July 13 70; Oxford, 1866; Gravesend; Willow, 1864; various sizes, all inscribed and dated in pencil on the reverse or on the recto, four signed and dated, two signed with monogram and three inscribed, all within the plate, (14) (unframed) Note: originally a lawyer with a passion for music and the arts, Edwards was inspired to become an artist on meeting Henri Fantin-Latour in Paris. Fantin introduced him to James McNeil Whistler and Alphonse Legros, the latter teaching him to etch in the winter of 1860. The following year, he installed a press at his home at Sunbury-on-Thames and in August the four friends were joined by Francis Seymour Haden for a sketching trip on the river. The results included Edwards’s etching Molesley Lock (Whistler on the Gate) and Whistler’s The Thames (Sketching no. 1). Whistler came to hold Edwards’s work in high regard, writing in a letter of May, 1863, ‘I really cannot help writing just to tell you how intensly (sic) pleased I am with your work in the Academy. Your etchings and your painting I think most highly of…  The etchings are exquisite….’ Throughout the 1860/70s the house at Sunbury became the venue for musical soirees and the gatherings of a lively group of Anglo/French painters, with Edwards meeting Monet when the latter came to London to avoid the Franco-Prussian war. During this time Edwards’s wife, Ruth, became an accomplished printer and it is probable that she printed and titled the present group.

Here, King George III (1738-1820) has stepped onto the stage from his royal box, on the left. He focuses his glass on the figure of Napoleon (1769-1821), who stands on a cloud, and points to his long list of 'Terms of Peace', held up by his chief diplomat, Talleyrand (1754-1838). At the bottom of the composition, in place of the orchestra, are the new Ministry, who are, significantly, all playing from different music sheets, and, therefore, discordantly.  BM 1851,0901.1194.

Lot 129

After Edward Bird, RA,  British 1772-1819- Chevy Chase; pencil, pen and black ink and grey wash on paper, 26.3 x 39.9 cm. Provenance:  The Property of the Late Reverend John Watson. Note:  The present work is taken after Bird's 'Chevy Chase', offered by Bonhams Skinner on 17 November 2022, and may well have been copied from an etching by John Young (c.1765-1825), produced in 1814. A preliminary study of the work, entitled 'The Day after the Battle of Chevy Chase', which varies slightly from the composition of the present work, is in the collection of Wolverhampton Art Gallery [OP85].  This composition depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Chevy Chase which occurred in 1388 and was made famous in 'The Ballad of Chevy Chase'. The encounter arose between the families of Henry Percy (English) and the Earl of Douglas (Scottish) whose lands were on the Anglo-Scottish border and who had a heated dispute over boundaries and hunting grounds. The Douglas family won the battle, although their leader was fatally wounded. 

Lot 232

Alphonse Legros,  French / British 1837-1911- Portrait of a bearded man, bust-length, unfinished; oil on canvas, signed and dated '[?] Legros / 1872' (lower left), 53.2 x 43.1 cm., (unframed).  Provenance:  The Property of the Late Reverend John Watson. Note:  Legros studied under Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran (1802-1897), and went on to develop a highly distinctive style, combining an archaic manner of composition and treatment of space with a Realist approach which was heavily informed by the work of Gustave Courbet (1819-1877). He was skilled as a portraitist, both in oils and print, with his sensitive studies effectively capturing the presence and character of his sitters. Legros was a particularly prominent printmaker, and is often cited as one of the leading figures in the British etching revival of the late 19th century. He taught etching at the South Kensington School of Art, before becoming Slade Professor at University College London, succeeding Edward Poynter (1836-1919) in the role. Over the course of his career he established friendships with James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) and Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904), with whom he formed the Société des Trois to confirm their mutual support.
