Winifred Nicholson (British, 1893-1981)Arlots oil on board55.5 x 55cm (21 7/8 x 21 5/8in).Painted circa 1970Footnotes:ProvenanceChristopher Hull, and thence by family descentPrivate Collection, U.K.Arlots was painted at Kathleen Raine's cottage in Cumbria and depicts flowers from her garden, with the track across a bog leading to her cottage in the middle distance. Winifred Nicholson met the poet Kathleen Raine at the house of her most important collector, Helen Sutherland, in the Lake District in the late 1940s and they became close friends. Drawn together by their love of wild flowers they travelled to the Hebrides in the early 1950s, usually to Sandaig, Gavin Maxwell's cottage, but also Eigg, South Uist and Barra, and while Winifred painted Raine wrote poetry. Largely because she wanted to be close to Nicholson, Raine purchased a cottage near Hallbankgate, Cumberland, as it was then, in the mid-1960s, keeping it until shortly after Winifred Nicholson's death. She spent about a third of her time at Arlots and this was where she wrote her autobiography: 'In Helen's house or with her or through her, I was to meet for the first time many of my most valued friends; David Jones, Hubert and Lelia Howard, Winifred Nicholson, who had also been a child of northern hills. She had loved the same wild flowers as I, seen in the hedges of Cumberland the same cranesbill and harebell, scabious and wateravons as I ... When first I had seen her paintings at an exhibition in London I had wondered how she knew what I thought no one but myself had, in quite that way, seen. When I met her, I understood. From opposite ends of the social scale ... we had shared the same beauty, under the same skies' (The Land Unknown, Hamish Hamilton, London, 1975, p.138).Winifred Nicholson painted at least two other paintings at Arlots: Rainbow, Arlots (Winifred Nicholson in Cumberland, Jovan Nicholson, Abbot Hall, Kendal, 2016, p.22) and Kathleen's White Geranium (Christie's, 27 September 1991, lot 91). We are grateful to Jovan Nicholson for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Office of John Nash (1752-1835) - Two Italianate Villas for Sir James Murray Pulteney, the first inscribed verso "A house intended to be built in Scotland by Sir James Murray Pulteney. This view given to Mary Countess Harcourt. Sir James was the... friend of William Earl of Harcourt and his Countess... his death was occasioned by the...", the second inscribed verso "This is of a house... to be built by... [signed] Mary Harcourt", oil on paper laid on panel, 36.5 x 55cm, each with printed trade label of Baker Carver & Guilder to Her Majesty Thames Street Windsor, unframed (2) Provenance: Sir James Murray-Pulteney (1755-1811) by whom presumably commissioned from John Nash; William Harcourt, 3rd Earl Harcourt (1743-1830) and Mary Harcourt, nee Danby, Countess of Harcourt (1749-1833); acquired in the mid-20th century by the family of the present vendor.One or other of these newly discovered alternative perspective designs by Nash, differing in scale but not in style, was to be built at Clermont, Fifeshire for Sir James Murray Pulteney.The larger villa was to be closed modelled on Nash’s Cronkhill of 1802, the earliest example of an Italianate villa in England. This similarity is not surprising as Pulteney would have been familiar with the design of Cronkhill. That was originally intended to be a larger building and much closer to that in the present lot as is clearly evidenced by the drawing by Nash’s assistant George Stanley Repton (1756-1858), now in the Sir John Soane Museum, London. It is entirely possible that the present works, executed in pen, ink and thin oil on paper instead of pen, ink and watercolour, are also from the hand of Repton.Both the siting of Cronkhill at Atcham near the River Severn and the Wrekin, and the area around Clermont are not particularly mountainous but in country with relative ‘hills’.The soldier and politician General Sir James Murray-Pulteney, PC, 7th Baronet, was the son of Sir Robert Murray, 6th Baronet and his first wife Janet Murray. His lengthy military career included service in the American War of Independence in which he was injured at the Battle of Brandywine in 1777. He assumed the additional name of Pulteney when, in 1794, he married Laura Pulteney, 1st Baroness Bath (1766-1808), the daughter and heiress of his cousin Sir William Pulteney, 5th Baronet and MP for Shrewsbury (1729-1805).The familial link between Sir James Murray-Pulteney and Sir William Pulteney (his cousin and father-in-law) who’s home was only five miles distant from Lord Berwick’s Attingham Park, where not only Cronkhill, but the picturesque estate village of Atcham (c1797) was also built by Nash (a prolific visitor of his clients) is strongly suggestive of an introduction to or recommendation of Nash.The present designs were almost certainly commissioned in the years immediately following the death of Sir William Pulteney. Sir James Murray Pulteney’s death in 1811 removed the raison d’etre for a house at Clermont.Her father, who also married an heiress and took her name, was said to be the wealthiest man in Great Britain. Remembered for his role in the development of Bath, he was a patron of the architect Robert Adam and the civil engineer and architect Thomas Telford. Sir William Pulteney purchased Shrewsbury Castle in 1775 as a family home. Thomas Telford was responsible for the improvements and alterations that swiftly followed. These included the building of ‘Laura’s Tower’, a picturesque folly of c1790 commissioned for his daughter (she who later married Sir James Murray-Pulteney) as a Summer or Tea house. Mary, Countess of Harcourt (1749-1833), nee Danby, was the daughter of a Yorkshire clergyman. She married, firstly, Thomas Lockhart and secondly, in 1778, General William Harcourt, 3rd Earl Harcourt (1743-1830). A pupil of Alexander Cozens, the countess was herself a keen and accomplished artist. The couple enjoyed a close friendship with the royal family and their various interests and activities were recounted by the diarist Joseph Farrington RA (1749-1821).Nash was by far the most successful, fashionable and subsequently controversial British architect of the regency. He worked throughout England, Wales and Ireland but it is surprising that he built hardly anything in Scotland. The influence of Nash's design for Cronkhill on the history of British architecture has long been recognised.
