Sir David Wilkie, R.A., 1785-1841 Portrait of the infant daughter of Admiral Walker, Commander of the Turkish Fleet signed, inscribed and dated 1840 pencil and watercolour 31.5x23.5cm.; 12.5x9.25in. "In Constantinople, the dress of the children is striking, from that of its resemblance to that of the Turkish women...there is generally no distinction in dress between the child of three years old and the woman of mature years." This charming work provides and interesting display of traditional Turkish dress and the customs specifically relating to the costume of children. The introduction to Sir David Wilkie's Sketches in Turkey, Syria and Egypt 1840-1841 describes the present work as "of remarkable beauty, and one on which the accomplished artist has bestowed much care. It is not to be surpassed by any similar sketches of the greatest masters." Provenance The Collection of R. S. Holford Esq. Literature Sir David Wilkie's Sketches in Turkey, Syria and Egypt 1840-1841, London, 1843, pl. VI
Arthur Wardle, R.I., R.B.C., 1864-1949 Two Setters on a Grouse Moor signed and dated 1903 oil on canvas 56x76cm.; 22x30in. Arthur Wardle a self-taught London artist with no academic training, painted domestic and sporting animal subjects, along with wild animals painted from sketches done on the spot during his visits to London Zoo. He is, however, mainly known for his paintings of dogs and it is thought that he probably painted every breed of purebred dog that existed in his day. He began exibiting at the R.A. in 1880 at the young age of sixteen, was elected to the Pastel Society in 1911 and became a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 1922. His first one man exhibition was held at the Fine Art Society in 1931. This painting depicts two Llewellin English Setters. This strain of English Setter was bred as a working or hunting dog, as opposed to the Laverack Setter, which was bred as a show dog. Both types of setter still exist today and can be traced back to two well known breeders in the late 1800s, Mr R. L. Purcell Llewellin and Mr Edward Laverack.
