Eric Harald MacBeth Robertson (1887-1941) Modern allegorical subject, with four female figures Watercolour, unsigned 21 x 17 cm Footnote: Eric Robertson and his first wife, Cecile Walton (daughter of the painter E A Walton) were an artistic couple of exceptional talent in the first few decades of the 20th century. Their story is told in `The Two Companions` by John Kemplay (Edinburgh, 1991). Besides exhibiting at the Royal Scottish Academy, they were members of the Edinburgh Group, a Society that exhibited more challenging art between 1912 and 1921. The couple`s lifestyle raised eyebrows, as did Eric Robertson`s highly charged erotic subjects. Cecile Walton`s most famous painting is her self-portrait as a nursing mother (called `Romance`) in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Henry Emerson Tuttle, A Sharp-Shinned Hawk, signed lower right in pencil, etching, 21 x 17cm. Other Notes: Henry Emerson Tuttle is considered one of America`s greatest twentieth century etchers of birds. Tuttle was educated at Yale University and attended classes in art at the Slade School, in London. First pursuing a scholastic career, he created his first published drypoint engraving in 1925 at the age of thirty-five. His initial works of art in this medium were so widely received that Tuttle dedicated himself solely to his art from that point on.
