* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004),BRITTANY LANDSCAPEoil on canvas, signed, titled versoimage size 49cm x 74cm, overall size 64cm x 89cmFramed. Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed a 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, said: ''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.Condition report: Condition is very good overall, with no visible signs of restoration, damage, or known issues. Provenance is from a private Scottish collection.

* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013),THE PORTRAIT OF JULIET AND DAVIDoil on board, signed and dated '76overall size 154cm x 92cmUnframed, as intended.Provenance: This deeply personal portrait is of Juliet Lister, who became John Bellany's second wife, and her son David (Gray). After Juliet's tragic suicide this painting was held by her family and in recent times it passed to David Gray, Juliet's son and the current owner of the picture.Note: By 1973 Bellany was head of the faculty of painting at Croydon College of Art. His marriage to Helen had foundered, his personal life was in disarray and eventually, in 1979 he married Juliet Lister, a mature student. Juliet however was beset by mental health problems which necessitated frequent and lengthy spells of time in hospital. Bellany’s work during this period predominated in dark themes dealing with fate and the passing of time. Despite the torment in his personal life, Bellany’s paintings were finally gaining recognition and in the same year he was a joint winner of the Athena Art Award, at the time the most valuable art prize in the UK. Alongside a host of solo exhibitions in galleries, in 1986 a major retrospective of his work was held at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and in 1988 at the Hamburg Kunsthalle. A crisis in his health brought Helen back into Bellany’s life. A distant presence over the years as the mother of their three children she, by necessity, now would prove his saviour, forcing him to seek medical attention for the chronic liver disease that was seriously endangering his life. After Juliet’s death in 1985 John and Helen remarried but Bellany’s health continued to deteriorate. By the end of 1987 the only remaining medical option was a liver transplant for which he was eventually considered and tested. He then joined the waiting list for a donor. On 30 April 1988, an extraordinary opportunity presented itself. Exceeding all expectations, the transplant granted the artist a further 25 years of life.

STUDIO OR FOLLOWER OF WILLEM WISSING (DUTCH, 1656-1687), PORTRAIT OF THOMAS HERBERT, 8TH EARL OF PEMBROKE, AS LORD HIGH ADMIRAL OF ENGLAND, oil on canvas, bears Christie's stencil verso, framed. 126cm by 99.5cm This striking and powerful portrait, painted by an immediate follower of Willem Wissing, is one of seven known versions of the portrait of Lord Pembroke as High Admiral. All versions ultimately derive from the original work by Wissing at Wilton House, Wiltshire. The original was allegedly executed in Holland circa 1685. After Wissing died in 1687, the painting was altered twice. These courses of re-painting were to include Pembroke’s Order of the Garter which he received in 1700 and in 1702 to reference his new appointment as Lord High Admiral. The second course of re-painting replaced a cavalry skirmish with the naval scene visible today. It has been posited that this swaggering example of the English Baroque was painted in 1709 after an engraving of the altered original in Wilton House. [1] [1] Dr James L Connelly, “From Duke to Earl: An English Baroque Portrait of a Lord High Admiral”, Register of the Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Vol III, Number 7, 1966 CONDITION REPORTRe-lined, cleaned and re-varnished.
