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.

Denis MITCHELL (1912-1993) Relief No.6 (1961) Slate reliefInitialled, titled and dated 1961 to verso18 x 56.5cm Our vendor writes- My late Aunt Jane Addleshaw (then Jane Stevens) moved to Cornwall in April 1960 to take up a teaching post in Hayle. In 1962 she bought and renovated 2 cottages at Tregerthan Zennor one of which had been lived in by D.H Lawrence during the first world war. Jane was always interested in art and was friends with several local arMsts in the St Ives area during the 1960s including Denis Mitchel. She had at least 2 of his sculptures including Treen. Jane talked fondly about ferrying Denis around in her old Ford popular van and visiting him in his studio. I inherited the Denis Mitchel slate relief and the cards and photographs from my Aunt when she sadly died in 2022 This relief has the patina of 60 years with tiny scratches but no damage. As can be seen from the back view Denis Mitchell has used slate from a Victorian mantle-piece

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.

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
