ANNE GIBSON NASMYTH (SCOTTISH 1798-1874) CROSSING THE BRIDGE IN A STORM Signed and dated July 20th 1836, oil on canvasDimensions:71cm x 91cm (28in x 36in)Provenance:Provenance: Careston Castle, Brechin, AngusNote: Signed and dated works by the Nasmyth daughters appear on the market infrequently, and Anne Gibson Nasmyth’s (1798-1874) paintings are particularly rare: she was less prolific than her sisters, with fewer than twenty works attributed to her. Nevertheless, she is recorded as having exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Scottish Academy and British Institution, and her paintings reveal her to be a highly accomplished landscape artist with a predilection for stormy highland scenes. Anne joined her brother Patrick in London in 1829, where she and her sister Elizabeth established a further Nasmyth school of art at 9 Devonshire Street, Portland Place.Raised in a uniquely artistic and intellectual environment, it is of little surprise that the Nasmyth children understood the principles of drawing and painting. It is remarkable, however, that so many possessed natural artistic talent. Of his eleven children at least eight were gifted artists: his six eldest daughters Jane, Barbara, Margaret, Elizabeth, Anne and Charlotte, and his eldest son Patrick and younger son James. James observed that ‘my father’s object was to render each and every one of his children…independent…accordingly, he sedulously kept up the attention of his daughters to fine art. He set on foot drawing classes…managed by his six daughters, superintended by himself.’ The Nasmyth children benefited from intimate access to their father’s paintings and expansive drawings portfolio, including many early copies of Old Masters made at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh and Allan Ramsay’s studio. It also contained numerous landscape sketches observed from life, overwhelmingly portraying England and Scotland. Only a few European sketches survive, likely made during Nasmyth’s Italian studies, but charmingly these continental landscapes appear to have been pored over by the Nasmyth children, and can be seen to have inspired passages in their mature paintings. They all went on to paint landscapes almost exclusively, with each adopting a personal interpretation of their father’s style.
WILLIAM BELL SCOTT H.R.S.A., L.L.D. (SCOTTISH 1811-1890) THE BARGE OF THE FAIRY MAB Inscribed with title and address and 'Government School of Design' on a contemporary label verso, feigned arched top, oil on canvasDimensions:61cm x 51cm (24in x 20in)Provenance:Provenance: Careston Castle, Brechin, AngusExhibited: Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, Annual Exhibition, 1845, no.175Note: O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes In shape no bigger than an agate-stone On the fore-finger of an alderman, Drawn with a team of little atomies Athwart men's noses as they lies asleep; Her wagon-spokes made of long spinners' legs, The cover of the wings of grasshoppers, The traces of the smallest spider's web, The collars of the moonshine's wat'ry beams, Her whip of cricket's bone; the lash of film…— Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, Act I, scene IVWilliam Bell Scott was born in Edinburgh in 1811, the son of the engraver Robert Scott (1777-1841) and younger brother of the painter and poet David Scott (1806-1849). He trained in fine art at the Trustees’ Academy, a forerunner of Edinburgh College of Art. In 1837 he moved to London, where he soon developed a connection with a group of painters known as ‘The Clique’ who met to sketch together. ‘The Clique’ was founded by the renowned fairy painter Richard Dadd in the late 1830s, and co-alesced around a rejection of high art and a belief that their work should not conform to academic ideals. Bell Scott formed a friendship with Dadd, and they collaborated on illustrations for Samuel Carter Hall’s ‘Book of British Ballads’ (1842). The group disbanded in 1843 after Dadd was diagnosed insane and institutionalised at Bethlem for killing his father during a psychotic breakdown.In 1843 Bell Scott was offered the position of Master of the Government School of Design at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he would remain for the following twenty years. He nevertheless maintained a relationship with the Pre-Raphaelites in London, and contributed poetry to their journal ‘The Germ’. He was close to William Holman Hunt and, in particular, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, whose family championed his work.Bell Scott is best-known for his history paintings. In 1854 he was commissioned to paint a series of works depicting the history of Northumberland for Wallington Hall, the Morpeth home of his most valued patron Lady Trevelyan. Five years later he met Alice Boyd of Penkill Castle, Ayrshire, while she studied in Newcastle. The relationship became close, and from the 1860s Scott lived with Alice Boyd and his wife Letitia in a ménage à trois between Scotland and London until the end of his life. Following her brother’s death in 1865 Alice became the owner of Penkill, and Bell Scott spent several years in the 1860s painting the staircase with a series of frescos illustrating James I’s poem ‘The Kings Quair’.‘The Barge of the Fairy Mab’ was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1845, and pre-dates Bell Scott’s Pre-Raphaelite associations. The Fairy Queen Mab is glimpsed through lily petals glowing in the moonlight, being transported on a barge formed from lily pads. Her hair falls in flowing golden tresses and she holds a long red wand, which she directs towards a spider spinning silken threads, as her wide eyes gaze upwards towards the web. The Fairy Queen and several of her attendants are unclothed, with a sensuous allure of form that could not have been freely expressed in a traditional Victorian genre or history painting. The intense jewel-like colour draws the eye towards the heart of the composition, as does the detailed rendering of the elf-like creatures, insects, bugs and leaves. Even the delicate threads of the web are beautifully illuminated. The scene is enclosed within leaves and grasses, through which fairies make their way, with bright star-like torches on their heads, past a swan nestled in the background. There is joy, humour and mischief in the rendering of Fairy Queen Mab and her entourage, and it is a delight to glimpse into this fantasy.Queen Mab is a mischievous yet benevolent figure. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’ she is referred to as the fairies’ midwife, who delivers sleepers their innermost fancies in the form of dreams. In Victorian Britain a great fashion for fairy painting co-incided with a resurgence of interest in Shakespearean plays such as ‘The Tempest’ and ‘A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream’, in which fairies feature as characters. The popularity of the fairy genre is seen as a reaction to the societal and environmental changes being wrought by industrialisation and the expansion of the suburbs. Viewers sought escapism from the changing world through mystical, spiritual and fantastical scenes and images of the natural world. The fairy genre is rare in Bell Scott’s oeuvre, yet in ‘The Barge of the Fairy Mab’ he has created a charming example of Victorian fairy painting at its best.

Lewinson 29f.- Eines von 50 Exemplaren. - Aus dem Portfolio "12 Views for Caroline Tatyana". - Herausgegeben von Parasol Press, New York 1989. - Druck bei Doris Simmelink, Santa Monica. - Marden greift ganz im Spirit der Minimal Art auf das Format der Serie und eine reduzierte geometrische Formensprache zurück, nimmt aber zugleich Bezug auf die klassische Säulenarchitektur. Inspiriert von der griechischen Antike und ihren Tempeln, beabsichtigt er jenes Gefühl einzufangen, das sich beim Betrachten der Säulenfassaden einstellt sowie, wenn die einzelnen Architekturelemente in harmonischer Wirkung ein einheitliches Ganzes ergeben. Die spiegelbildlich zweigeteilte Fläche unseres Drucks steht in Verbindung zum Begriff Öffnungen, so wie es jene zwischen tragenden und liegenden Architekturelementen, zwischen Säulen und Räumen geben kann. Ein Zusammenspiel von meist schwarzen und weißen Tönen stellt sich beim Besuch solcher Orte ein: Kontraste zwischen Licht und Schatten, Innen und Außen, Dichte und Leichtigkeit. Innerhalb von Mardens 12-teiliger Serie, die nach seiner Patentochter benannt ist, schaffen die Wiederholung der Formen - sieben vertikale Säulen mit einem einzigen architravischen horizontalen Element - und die Spiegelung der Strukturen Einheit und Gleichgewicht. Selten. No.6 from: 12 Views for Caroline Tatyana. Aquatint and etching on strong, grained wove paper. Signed and numbered. Mounted in spots to underlying mat and free-standing in mat. There on the verso with the label of the Galerie Yvon Lambert and typographical indications of the work. - With two insignificant, pale and small stains. Verso with slight traces of the previous mounting. Overall in a very good condition. Extremely splendid, rich and burr-like impression with margin, deckle edge on all sides. - One of 50 copies. - From the portfolio "12 Views for Caroline Tatyana". - Published in 1989 by Parasol Press, New York. Printed by Doris Simmelink, Santa Monica. Rare.

Annette Ratuszniak, ed., 'Elisabeth Frink: Catalogue Raisonné of Sculpture 1947-93', 2013, Lund Humphries, cat. no.FCR128, p.90 (another cast illus.) Note: This powerful early work displays one of the artists most characteristic and unique themes, armoured male figures. Central to Frink's work is a sense of energy and physical presence and she was one of very few artists who focused on the male figure in her work, setting her apart from her contemporaries. Depicted here half-naked yet wearing uniform, her figures evoke both power and vulnerability, combined with a timeless quality, that is at once ancient and modern. Frink created two works focusing on the theme of Assassins, which were influenced by the assassination of JFK. This event and the ongoing threat of the Cold War, influenced how Frink depicted her figures, in particular in their helmeted heads, making them simultaneously remote yet scrutinising of the viewer.

* HANNAH FRANK (SCOTTISH 1908 - 2008), GARDEN (1932)lithograph on paper, signed in pencil image size 31.5cm x 27.5cm, overall size 53cm x 42cmMounted, framed and under glass.Note: "Garden (1932)" is one of the rarest Hannah Frank signed prints. A previous example of this print was sold (by McTear's) for £650 (lot 526 The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction 27th September 2020). Since McTear's first promoted Hannah Frank's spectacular work in 2011, the prices for her ever more rare signed prints have continued to rise with many current prices being more than five times higher than those achieved barely a decade ago. The latest UK auction record figure for a single signed lithograph was most recently achieved (twice) in our auction on 24th October 2021 and now stands at £820 (hammer). Note 2: Hannah Frank was the last living link to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau period. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University in the 1920`s and her haunting pen and ink drawings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Glasgow Institute. A series of lithographs of some of her 90 drawings were made in the 1960's and again in the 1980's to satisfy the demand for her work after exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Only a relatively few of these prints were hand signed (in pencil) by Hannah and it's understood that only one print was ever editioned (numbered) in a conventional manner. A major exhibition at the Royal Glasgow Institute in 2006 brought her work to a new generation of admirers and received considerable press coverage. Her work toured for five years in the UK and the USA culminating in an exhibition at Glasgow University which opened on her 100th birthday 23rd August 2008. After her death, she was awarded a posthumous Honorary Doctorate at Glasgow University and Glasgow City Council`s Lord Provost`s Award For Art (2009).

* WILLIE RODGER RSA RGI (SCOTTISH 1930 - 2018),BATH HOUSElinocut on paper, signed, titled, dated '87 and numbered 6/22image size 65cm x 49.5cm, overall size 70cm x 54cmFramed and under glass.Comment: a very rare example and so far as we can ascertain the first time "Bath House, Cave" has been offered at auction anywhere.Note: The Royal Scottish Academy website describes Willie Rodger as "one of the most significant artist-printmakers in recent Scottish art history". Born in Kirkintilloch in 1930, Rodger studied Graphics and Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art from 1948 to 1953. He received a rigorous education from a course that, at the time, only accepted the most skilled draughtsmen. By graduation Rodger had already sold two prints to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and went on to a career in advertising. However, he became disillusioned with the cut and thrust of the commercial world and an opportunity to change careers and return to Scotland came about with a teaching vacancy at Lenzie Academy, then as Principal Teacher of Art at Clydebank High School, a post he held until early retirement in 1987. He was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in 1989 and awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Stirling in 1999. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 28th February 2021 lot 562 "Reverie" by Willie Rodger established a new auction record for a print by the artist selling at £1200 (hammer).

One of her paintings for the 1998 World Cup was struck as a commemorative coin by the French Government, an honour never before bestowed on a living French artist. Linda Le Kinff's portrayal of women is consistently dynamic, ranging from indescribable loneliness to silent, powerful, and elegant. Le Kinff also finds inspiration in the work of Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, and Gustav Klimt. Her work has been exhibited and sold globally.
* CHARLES NEAL (BRITISH b. 1951),WOMAN GATHERING WOODoil on canvas, signed, titled versoimage size 51cm x 41cm, overall size 64cm x 54cm Framed.Note: Charles Neal is currently one of the leading landscape painters in England and has had many major exhibitions. His style blends realism and impressionism while focusing on light and shadow with stunning subtleties of colour. In 1994 his The Painted Garden Exhibition was opened by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at The Museum of Garden History in Lambeth, followed by “Coastline” in conjunction with the National Trust. Charles Neal has exhibited in London, New York and the Royal Society of British Artists and his work is represented in many private and corporate collections. Charles Neal is one of England’ s finest and most successful landscape painters. His works are sought after in increasing numbers for prestigious collections worldwide. As a trained engineer and artist, Neal utilises these two disciplines to produce a rare mix of developed skill and natural flair, making him an artist of choice for art collectors all over the world. Neal is committed to a plein air approach, blending the values of French Impressionism with the naturalistic traditions of English landscape painting. Expertly capturing and preserving fleeting effects of light, the physicality of the location with its unique atmosphere and sense of time and place, Charles Neal deftly crystallizes the essence of his chosen location in the painted image. Over the years his paintings have steadily increased in value. His paintings can be seen in Royal, private and commercial collections all over the world, and in recent years he has had two major public exhibitions under the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Neal has also had solo exhibitions with the National Trust, Royal Horticultural Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, The Museum of Garden History in London, and The Docklands Museum London. His paintings have also been hung at the Royal Society of British Artists and, internationally, at exhibitions in New York, Palm Beach, Barcelona, Paris and Dubai. Charles Neal’s early painting period was initially influenced through frequent visits in his teenage years to the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk and Van Gogh museums. In the 1980’s Neal began to paint professionally, working in association with Omell Galleries London and later joined Campbell’s of London and Astley House Fine Art. It was during this period that he became interested in the French Impressionists, in particular Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Camille Pissarro, for their lightness of touch, sense of celebration of nature and the daily round of life in general. Further, the ‘en plein air’ approach to painting was a logical move forward and at the same time had reference to Constable’s outdoor sketches. In 2003 Charles Neal joined Wally Findlay Galleries (New York and Palm Beach). Subsequently Neal has painted further thematic series of works that have been incorporated in gallery exhibitions or as special events linked to The National Trust, The Royal Horticultural Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, The National Rowing Museum, Henley and the Docklands Museum London and The Blenheim Foundation.
