Attributed to George Engleheart [175101829] - Miniature portrait of George Hay [1753-1804], 7th Marquess of Tweeddale:- head and shoulders with powdered hair and wearing a navy blue coat, sky back ground, oval, 7cm, in a gold frame inscribed and dated 1804 to the reverse. * Notes. George Hay was a great-grandson of the 2nd Marquess of Tweeddale, and in 1787 he inherited the title of his first cousin once-removed, the 6th Marquess. He then became a Burgess of Edinburgh a year later, Lord Lieutenant of Haddingtonshire in 1794, and a Scottish representative peer in 1796. On 18 April 1785, he married Lady Hannah Maitland (a daughter of the 7th Earl of Lauderdale). As a result of the marquess's declining health, he and his wife went to France in 1802. It was here that they were captured by Napoleon's police when war was renewed between the two countries. They were imprisoned in the fortress at Verdun and the marchioness died there on 8 May 1804, as did the marquess during the following August.
Attributed to Walter Langley R.I., R.S.A., R.B.A., R.W.A. [1852 - 1922] The Toy Boat:- watercolour 92.5 x 74.5cm. * Biography Langley was a student of the Birmingham School of Art. He was the first artist, amongst the late 19th century colony (Newlyn) to take up residence in the town, in 1882, along with Edwin Harris, which heralded the birth of the Newlyn School. Langleys chosen medium was watercolour. This choice may have originally been economic, however his mastery of this medium drew a reviewer of his one man show at the Fine Art Society in 1893 to conclude 'As a master of the actual technique of watercolours, he has few living rivals. The quality of some of his work is matchless - so simple, direct and serene.
* Peter Brook [1927-2009]- Lifting Mist signed bottom and inscribed oil on canvas 91 x 122cm * Biography. Peter Brook, 'the Pennine landscape painter', was born in the winter of 1927. He taught art at Sowerby School before becoming a full time artist in his 40s. Brook has painted many areas of the British Isles including Scotland, Cornwall and the Potteries, but his first love is the Pennines, particularly in Winter. His paintings depict a vanishing world; a world of remote farmhouses, of mills, of people who inhabit the landscape. There are a number of books on Brook's work including Peter Book - The Pennine Landscape Painter. Brook lived in West Yorkshire near his beloved Pennines and favourite woods.
