ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS LUNY (BRITISH 1758-1837)THE BATTLE OF CAMPERDOWNOil on canvas42 x 70cm (16½ x 27½ in.)The Battle of Camperdown (known in Dutch as the Zeeslag bij Kamperduin) was a major naval action fought on 11 October 1797, between the British North Sea Fleet under Admiral Adam Duncan and a Batavian Navy (Dutch) fleet under Vice-Admiral Jan de Winter. In 1795, the Dutch Republic had been overrun by the army of the French Republic and had been reorganised into the Batavian Republic, a French client state, and under French domination naval flags were altered by the insertion of a panel containing a representation of a female figure accompanied by a lion, seated in a patch of greenery and holding a spear, on which is the Cap of Liberty. The battle was the most significant action between British and Dutch forces during the French Revolutionary Wars and resulted in a complete victory for the British, who captured eleven Dutch ships without losing any of their own.Condition Report: Relined. Surface dirt throughout. Craquelure throughout. Evidence of infilling in natural light scattered throughout. An area of very fine craquelure to the lower left corner and along the lower edge, together with evidence of old flaking and loss. Possible paint shrinkage or a reaction to the varnish along this lower edge. A small loss to the centre of the left edge. Light rubbing to the extreme framing edges. Inspection under UV reveals retouching scattered throughout with extensive retouching and infilling to the lower edge. Condition Report Disclaimer

JOHN ANSTER FITZGERALD (BRITISH 1832-1906)SNOWY MISCHIEFwatercolour and bodycolour 34.5 x 27cm (13½ x 10½ in.)Provenance:The artist's family and by descentBy the 1850's Fitzgerald ushered in a new phase in fairy painting. `He removed the theatrical overtones of the subject, which had been predominant in the 1840's, opting instead to show the fairies in a rustic setting, co-existing with other woodland creatures.' (I. Zaczek, Fairy Art , 2005, p.50). The animals often appear very static which may show a debt to taxidermy and the work of the photographer J. D. Llewelyn (1810-1862) who created imaginary tableau of stuffed animals in a natural setting. The fairies are sometimes seen as benign creatures who are at-one with the animals, while others show conflict, or in this case a certain amount of teasing with snowballs and twigs. Like The Enchanted Forrest (Circa 1860) the present picture is set on the edges of fairyland. The dog has come to the edge of the natural world where the fairies' dwell behind a bramble patch. The spire of a church and a cluster of cottages can be seen in the distance, symbolising the encroachment of human activity on fairyland.Condition Report: The artist has painted this onto a sheet which he has laid onto a board. There is some water staining and discolouration along the edge and this is visible in the photograph. Generally the pigments and surface appears to be in excellent original condition and the colours are strong. Condition Report Disclaimer
