Twentieth-century European School, study with figures, pastel, initialled BB lower right, 29 x 41cm, framed and glazed. Provenance: From Munstead Wood. The contents of the property are being sold by the former owners of the important country house which has now been purchased by the national trust. Munstead Wood is a Grade I listed house and gardens in Godalming Surrey. The garden was created by garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and became very well-known through her designs, and her books and articles in magazines such as Country Life. The Arts and Crafts style house was built for Jekyll and she lived there until 1932, Munstead Wood was designed by the architect Edwin Lutyens to compliment the garden with Jekylls influence on the original design. Munstead Wood was the first, and perhaps therefore the most important, collaboration between Jekyll and Lutyens in garden and house design. These collaborations number around 120, with other well-known examples including Deanery Garden in Berkshire and Hestercombe House in Somerset. Jekyll transformed the site over the years, first meeting Lutyens at Munstead Wood in 1889 when the collaboration began, and she lived there until her death in 1932. Prior to the sale to the National Trust, Munstead Wood was the vendors family home for more than 50 years, the owners over this time were Sir Robert Clark and Lady Clark who were responsible for the house and gardens regeneration to return it to its original concept.

Laurence Stephen Lowry RBA, RA (1887-1976)Street scene with figures (1947)Signed and dated 1947, pastel, 27cm by 35.5cmProvenance: Leigh Gallery, Manchester where purchased by the vendor's father in 1976Thence by descentThe present lot is an exciting discovery as it’s the earliest work so far to appear on the market from a unique, rare group of joyful and vibrant figurative pastel works by Lowry, of which he seems to have made one a year between 1947 (or earlier) and 1950. There are two notable works from the series that have previously come to market namely; "Cowles Fish & Chips, Cleator Moor", 1948, sold for £145,250 in May 2012; and "The Broken Shop Window at Cleator Moor", 1950, sold for £50,000 in July 2020.When comparing these two works with Street Scene with Figures, 1947, it is evident that not only is Lowry’s handling, style and technique the same in all three works, but they are also all the same size, and use the same medium and support, i.e., pencil and pastel on blue paper.Lowry executed these pastels during his annual visits to Cumbria to stay with his friend, Reverend Geoffrey Bennett (1902-1991). Lowry and Bennett first met in 1926 when Bennett worked as a clerk with Lowry's cousin, Grace Shephard, at the London and County Westminster Bank in Manchester. The two men shared a lifelong friendship and over the years Bennett acquired many works from his friend and formed a very significant Lowry collection, which included the above mentioned, "Cowles Fish & Chips, Cleator Moor", 1948. When Bennett married after the War, he moved from Manchester with his wife Alice and son, also Geoffrey, to Cumbria as manager of the National Westminster Bank branch in Cleator Moor. Bennett was ordinated into the Anglican Church in 1962 and he became known to Lowry as the 'Reverend Gentleman'. When Lowry died in 1976, Reverend Bennett conducted the funeral service.Following Bennett’s death in 1991 his collection of works by Lowry was sold in 1995 for a total of £528,440, to benefit Carlisle Cathedral.We are grateful to Jonathan Horwich for his assistance with this catalogue entry.On blue buff paper. Slight cockling to the paper in places. Some very light surface dirt and debris trapped under the glass, mostly to the mount. Good colour depth. There are a number of small spots within the roof of the houses to the left hand side, these appear to be by design. Two pin holes top right corner. Not examined out of the frame.
