Elizabeth Cope Owl, Lion, and Sundial from Conservatory, 2024 Watercolour and pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Irish Artist Elizabeth Cope was born in 1952 in Co. Kildare. She currently lives and works in Co. Kilkenny. Cope has exhibited in galleries and museums all over the world for the past 40 years and is found in many important public and private collections. "I paint through the chaos of everyday life, if I were to wait for a quiet moment I would never paint. I believe that painting should also be like dancing and that the real 'work of art' is not so much the canvas when the paint is dry, but rather the physical rhythm of the process of painting it."

SCOTTISH REGENCY BRONZE SUNDIAL, BY ALEXANDER ADIE, EDINBURGH EARLY 19TH CENTURY the 15 ½ inch sundial plate engraved with 8 point compass rose, calendrical equation of time, hours marked with Roman numerals and divided by ten minute markers, pierced scrolling gnomon, signed ‘A. ADIE EDINBURGH’ 39.5cm diameter The Murray family, formerly at Dollerie House, Crieff, Perthshire Note: Alexander Adie was apprenticed to his uncle the eminent Scottish instrument maker John Miller in 1789. In 1804 his uncle took him into partnership trading under the name Miller and Adie. The business continued until Miller's death in 1815. Adie then continued operating under his own name, and later Adie & Son when his son joined the firm. Adie was particularly interested in meteorological instruments and is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Sympiesometer, a compact and lightweight type of barometer, in 1818. In recognition of his work, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819.
