HENRIC ANKARCRONA (Sweden, 1831-1917). "Equestrian scene at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, North Africa", 1872. Oil on canvas. It has slight damage. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measures: 53 x 95 cm 86 x 128 cm (frame). Oil on canvas in which the author represents a scene in which stands out the figure of a man on a horse in cabriole. The expressiveness of the posture of both, introduces the viewer into a battle scene, which is developing in the background. Orientalism was born in the 19th century as a consequence of the romantic spirit of escape in time and space. The first orientalists sought to reflect the lost, the unattainable, in a dramatic journey destined from the beginning to failure. Like Flaubert in "Salambo", painters painted detailed portraits of the Orient and imagined pasts, recreated to the millimeter but ultimately unknown and idealized. During the second half of the 19th century, however, many of the painters who traveled to the Middle East in search of this invented reality discovered a different and new country, which stood out with its peculiarities above the clichés and prejudices of Europeans. Thus, this new orientalist school leaves behind the beautiful odalisques, the harems and the slave markets to paint nothing but what they see, the real Orient in all its daily dimension. Along with the change of vision comes a technical and formal change; since it is no longer a question of recreating an imagined world in all its details, the brushstroke acquires impressionistic fluency, and the artists focus not so much on the depiction of the types and customs as on the faithful reflection of the atmosphere of the place, of the very identity of the North African populations. Henric Ankarcrona served as an officer in France and Spain and participated in several campaigns in North Africa. There he diligently drew motifs of country life and desert battles, camel caravans and Arab tribes. Sketches that after his return to Sweden formed the basis of a large number of paintings. Ankarcrona was part of the circle of artists around Charles XV.

* ELEANOR CHRISTIE-CHATTERLEY (SCOTTISH b. 1929),THE GREEN MAN WALKINGbronze sculpture (cast bronze), 175cm highNote: The Green Man Walking is inspired by the ancient tree-spirit appearing in folklore and myth in many countries and many guises. One of the most prolific concentrations of "green men" is at Rosslyn Chapel where there are reckoned to be "around 100" within the chapel and on the exterior of the building. This striding figure is a metaphor for current concerns for the preservation of the environment expressing the spirit of nature through stance, form and texture. The Green Man Walking seems to carry his burden lightly, stepping out with a certain jauntiness and optimism. Eleanor Munro was born (1929) and educated in Scotland. She studied sculpture at The Glasgow School of Art and Camberwell School of Art. She taught Sculpture at London Marylebone Institute (St John's Wood Sculpture School) from 1970 - 84 and at Blackheath School of Art from 1987 - 93. In 1952 she married the artist Fyfe Christie (1918 - 1975). Some eighteen years after the death of her first husband (1993) Eleanor married the music producer Albert "Jack" Chatterley (died 2016). Eleanor Christie-Chatterley has exhibited her sculptures at numerous venues including Woodlands Art Gallery (London), Blackheath Gallery (London), Old Cattan House Gallery (Norwich), Buckenham Galleries and at Cyril Gerber Fine Art (Glasgow). Her sculptures are in numerous private collections in the UK, the US and in France. Eleanor Christie-Chatterley lives on the west coast of Scotland and is almost certainly Scotland's oldest living sculptor. The original gallery price for The Green Man Walking was £11,000,
