Joseph Alfred Terry, RBA (British, 1872-1939) Harvesters Returning Home at the End of the Day signed lower right "Joseph A Terry, 1906" oil on canvas 28 x 34cm Joseph Terry was a member of the famous York family of chocolatiers, who were Quakers and philanthropists. He began his studies in art at the York School of Art and in the early 1890s travelled to study at the Academies Julian and Colorossi in Paris where he won the Colorossi Silver Medal in 1895, the year after Peploe won it. On his return to England he settled at The Firs in Sleights, becoming a member of the Staithes Art Club in 1906. Joseph Terry worked equally well in both watercolours and oils and could turn his hand to any subject. His work demonstrates a great tactile pleasure in the application of paint and tends to be very strong and vibrant. In total contrast to this, he also painted some charming and romantic Italianate scenes in predominately pastel colours, similar to the watercolours painted at times by Frank Wasley which he usually entitled 'Idylls'. His studio sale was held in 1986 when Christies South Kensington sold 367 lots of his watercolours and oils. Most of his works which appear on the market are from this sale and bear a stamp giving their provenance.

Frank Wright Bourdillon, NEAC (1851-1924) IN THE WHEAT-FIELD signed, 26 x 38cm Bourdillon's newly rediscovered In the Wheat-field, undoubtedly painted en plein air is likely to date from 1885, when he was living at Oxford. He left for Cornwall in May 1886 settling first at Polperro and moving soon to Newlyn where he became a respected and popular member of the small group of painters around Stanhope Forbes. In the Wheat-field is one of several 'lost' pictures, small lyrical landscapes, recorded in the artist's notebook, other titles of which include When the Lark Sings and A Cornish Lane. Bourdillon came from an old Huguenot family and was brought up in India. Fascinated by birds and drawing he travelled to England and entered the Slade School, prior to spending a year in Paris in 1883-4. Bourdillon's work is rare as, quite suddenly, in 1892 he gave up painting and returned to India to become a missionary. See Fox (C) and F Greenacre, Artists of the Newlyn School, exhibition catalogue, 1979, pp227-233. Mellors & Kirk acknowledges the assistance of Francis Greenacre, who has commented on the work on the basis of a photograph. ++Two or possibly three minor old gum repairs to small holes or tears which could be easily rectified. Some accretion of surface dust and grime but in generally fine condition. NoT relined or patched and on the original stretchers. On the reverse of the canvas the artist's stencilled initials and the oval ink stamp of PAUL FOINET the Parisian artist's colour man, in what is presumably the original giltwood and composition reeded frame with on the reverse an illegible fragmentary label
