HENRY SCOTT TUKE (BRITISH, 1858-1929)Portrait of Lord Ronald Charles Sutherland-Leveson-Gower (1845-1916) inscribed 'Lord Ronald Gower' (verso) oil on board 23 x 15cm Provenance The Great niece of Henry Scott Tuke; Sale, Bonhams Oxford, 16th November 2011, lot 98 (catalogued as 'Portrait of a Gentleman'), where acquired by the present ownerFootnoteRonald Gower, who was the seventh son of George, 2nd Duke of Sutherland (1786-1861), sat for Tuke in 1897, a work now held in the National Portrait Gallery (NPG 4841). He had an eclectic career, serving as liberal MP for Sutherland between 1867-1874, but allegedly only made one speech in parliament during that period. He was also a sculptor with his most famous works being the Shakespeare memorial at Stratford-upon-Avon which includes a bronze of The Bard on a pedestal surrounded by bronzes of Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Prince Hal and Falstaff, representing philosophy, tragedy, history and comedy. Gower was a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery as well as being an author who published biographies of Joan of Arc and Marie Antoinette along with a history of the Tower of London.His most enduring personal relationship was with author Frank Hird (1873-1947), twenty-eight years his junior, who he actually went on to adopt. Gower commissioned Tuke to paint a pastel portrait of Hird (whereabouts unknown) and both are mentioned in Tuke's Diary entry for 11th June 1902: A pleasant drive to Chidingstone with Lord Ronald Sutherland-Gower and Frank Hird. Left at 4 and found Kairns Jackson and Eiloart at the Chess Club. They associated frequently with Oscar Wilde who made a typically witty observation regarding his relationship - 'Frank may be seen but not Hird.' Wilde's 1889 novel The Portrait of Mr W.H is generally considered to be a comment on Gower's immediate circle and, furthermore, he is considered an inspiration for the character of Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray.Gower was implicated in the Cleveland Street Scandal of 1889; Police discovered a male brothel but the government attempted to cover the matter up due to the social prominence of many of the clientele. Gower died in relative poverty having been defrauded of his fortune by Francis Shackleton, brother of the Antarctic explorer. Having been entrusted with Gower's finances, Shackleton sold his portfolio in exchange for worthless stocks that only benefitted himself, forcing Gower to sell Hammerfield, his country house near Penshurst in KentMuch of what is known about Gower's life comes from his diaries which are often remarkably candid regarding his attraction to men. Even though homosexuality was illegal at the time Gower would have assumed his high society rank would protect him from prosecution. Condition reportBoard slightly bowed upper left, although this isn't particularly noticeable now board has been re centred (previously it had slipped a little).A small semi circular pale mark visible upper centre edge, this may be original to work. This mark was only visible because the board had slipped a little in the frame, it isn't noticeable now board has been re-centred.Appears in very good, ready to hang condition.

* ANTHONY ORME (BRITISH b. 1945), EVENING MEAL pastel on paper, signedmounted, framed and under glassimage size 29cm x 25cm, overall size 61cm x 56cmNote: Anthony Orme was born in Manchester in 1945, to an extensive family of eight. On leaving school, he was apprenticed as a copper plate and steel die hand engraver. To gain this position, he had to prove his artistic ability and produced many sketches at that time to qualify. Later on in life, he decided that the art side of his work had a greater pull and he became a full time, professional painter. Over the years, Anthony pursued his art with passion and determination, which has come to typify this self-belief that a combination of talent, hard-work and a modicum of luck, will in the end, produce a very positive driving force. When not travelling abroad to paint, Anthony works from his Manchester studio producing paintings from live models. His paintings are held in private and corporate collections throughout the UK and abroad.

Although Leon was born in Edinburgh he has not lived in Scotland since 1979. This exhibition charts the ‘long road home’ to showing in the capital this summer.Note 2: Leon Morrocco RSA was born in Edinburgh in 1942. The son of Scottish-Italian artist Alberto Morrocco RSA OBE (1917-1998), Leon spent his childhood in Aberdeen and Dundee where his father taught at the art colleges. On family holidays to Italy Leon and his father would go out into the hills around Rome and Alberto would paint whilst Leon would draw. In 1959 Leon enrolled at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, before continuing to the Slade School of Art, London (1960-61), and Edinburgh College of Art (1961-65). After art school, he was awarded the Andrew Grant Scholarship and an Italian Government Scholarship to the Accademia di Brera, Milan. Allowing him to travel around Greece, Turkey and Italy, these awards catalysed the itinerant lifestyle that would define his career.Elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy at the unusually young age of 29, Leon was Lecturer in Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art from 1965 to 1968 before taking up a similar position at Glasgow School of Art from 1969 to 1979. Driven by a desire for travel and adventure, in 1979 he left Scotland to become the Head of Fine Art at the Chisholm Institute, Melbourne. Leon and his family would live in Australia for 12 years. Buoyed by gallery support, in 1984 he left academia and for the first time focused solely on his own practice. Following several successful exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney, in 1991 Leon and his family returned to the UK, settling in North London. Leon Morrocco's work is held in numerous notable public, corporate and private collections, including the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, H.R.H Princess Margaret, Leeds Art Gallery, The Nuffield Foundation, and Queensland Art Gallery.

Currie studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1978-1983 and rose to attention within a generation of painters known as the "New Glasgow Boys" in the 1980s. In 1987, Currie completed a powerful series of large scale History paintings for the People’s Palace in Glasgow, commemorating the massacre of the Calton Weavers. Through the 90's deeply affected by humanitarian events in Eastern Europe Currie's works evolved, his focus shifting to confront ideas of mortality and corruption, both physical and moral.

* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), GREEN ANGEL pastel on paper, signed, titled partial label versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 54cm x 64cm, overall size 85cm x 94cm Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject-matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper. Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, wrote: ''At his best, Goudie could draw better than any of his rivals in Scotland. There was magic and vision in his art and, I expect, history will be kind to him.'' Collections: 79 of Goudie's paintings are held in UK public collections including at Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, Rozelle House Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries and The Fleming Collection (London). Numerous prestigious corporate collections in the UK and France and in private collections around the world.
