William Tolliver (American/Louisiana, 1951-2000), "Watching the Sunset in the Fields", oil on board, signed lower left, 26 1/4 in. x 36 in., framed. Exh.: The Zigler Art Museum, Jennings, LA, Apr. 2009. Note: A native of Vicksburg, MS, William Tolliver's artistic career spanned most of his short life and took him from Mississippi to Lafayette, LA and finally to Atlanta GA. A self-taught artist, Tolliver studied and took inspiration from thousands of books on artists, particularly African art, the Cubists and Van Gogh, using them all as tools to create specific elements in his paintings. Tolliver's earliest works, such as the one offered here, are landscapes of his rural Mississippi home. As the artist later added figures, the people began to take the forefront in his themes. Tolliver's early skill with color and texture, as seen in "Watching the Sunset in the Fields" set him apart from other artists, developing along with his subject matter in a style he often referred to as "representational abstract expressionism."
HAGUE SCHOOL, NINETEENTH-CENTURYAn interior with a girl watching over a baby in a cribOil on canvas (unlined)Signed with initials21 x 17 inches (53 x 43 cm.)The Hague School is a term given to a group of artists working in and around The Hague from 1860-90. These artists took for their inspiration the works of The Barbizon artists of France. Their favoured subjects were landscapes, coastal scenes, animals and genre works. The works of this group are united by their realistic approach and their use of subdued colours - grey being a prominent tone. The principal members were Josef Israels (1824-1911), Jacob Maris (1837-1879), Anton Mauve (1838-1888), and Hendrik Mestag (1831-1915). Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) was greatly influenced by The Hague School, Anton Mauve being the only person to give him formal lessons in painting. An extensive collection of Hague School paintings can be seen in The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
The Officer’s 10 Clasp M.G.S. awarded to Major-General John Napper Jackson, 94th (Scotch Brigade) Foot and 99th (Lanarkshire) Foot, who started his military service at the age of just 9 years old, and saw varied service at many of the major battles and actions in Portugal, Spain and France. He later helped to foil an attempted mutiny on the high seas aboard the convict ship Somersetshire in 1842 near Cape Town whilst en route to Van Diemen’s Land, comprising: Military General Service, 1793-1814, 10 clasps, Fuentes D’Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, Toulouse, with additional silver top bar engraved ‘Peninsula’ and top bar with reverse brooch pin (J. N. Jackson, Captn 94th Foot), rank ‘Captn’ carefully erased, officially re-impressed and corrected [see footnote] over faint ‘Lieut’, good very fine or better. John Napper Jackson was born in Dublin, Ireland, c. 1796 and began his army career as an Ensign with the 94th (Scotch Brigade) Foot on 1 July 1805 - at the age of just nine years old. Promoted to Lieutenant on 1 January 1806, he was only fourteen when he commenced four years of active service in the Peninsula between February 1810 and April 1814, during which time he was promoted to Captain on 28 February 1812. Throughout his service in the Peninsula he was present at some thirty battles and actions, including: the Siege of Cadiz, Lines of Torres Vedras, the siege and storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, the third Siege of Badajoz and storm of the castle by escalade, Fort China (in command of an escort of the third division), Nive, Nivelle and numerous others between. Having earnt himself a Military General Service Medal with ten clasps before the age of nineteen, and having served at the rank of Captain for roughly 2 years before the campaign’s culmination, it is understandable that he might later have asked his medal (impressed as ‘Lieut’) to be re-impressed by the mint with the correct rank, as we see here. He served for a time on Half-Pay with the 43rd Light Infantry during 1822 before later joining the Light Company of the 99th (Lanarkshire) Foot on its formation in 1824 – already by this time an experienced fighting soldier with twenty years’ service, and still only twenty nine years old. He went with the Regiment to Mauritius and Australia, where he acted in command for two years during Colonel Despard’s absence in New Zealand. During this time he played a part in the suppression of an attempted mutiny aboard the convict ship Somersetshire in 1842, where soldiers of the 99th and 50th Regiments formed the guard. As recorded in his obituary in the Army and Navy Gazette: ‘He was a passenger on board the convict ship Somersetshire, proceeding to re-join the 99th Regiment, then in Van Dieman’s Land, when a mutiny broke out by a part of the guard [Private soldiers in the 99th Foot] conspiring with the convicts to take the vessel. Three of the soldiers implicated in this atrocious offence of murder etc. were convicted and transported for life.’ Having put into Cape Town, the three soldiers of the 99th Foot (Agnew, Chisholm, Kelly) faced trial on board and were prosecuted by Lieutenant Colonel Jackson himself, to whom the plot had been leaked by the ship’s cook, and all three were found guilty, the ringleader Agnew was initially sentenced to death by firing squad (but appears to have had this reduced to hard labour and imprisonment), and the others were placed in irons on board to continue to Van Dieman’s Land for a life’s sentence. Continuing, Jackson later commanded the 99th Regiment in Ireland and Aldershot where they gained a ‘tremendous reputation’ for smartness in dress and drill. Afterwards described by a fellow officer as ‘Moltke of the Nines’ he was seldom seen off the barrack square and never known to go on leave. He was for a time Colonel of the 3rd West India Regiment in 1862, before returning to become the Colonel of the 99th Regiment from 1863 until his death after a short illness at St Helier’s, Jersey, on the 25th of January 1866, at the age of seventy two. He had previously been noted as a resident of Bath. Ex Glendining, 1970.
*India General Service, 1895-1902, 2 clasps, Punjab Frontier 1897-98, Tirah 1897-98 (4738 Pte W. Connor 2d Bn K. O. Sco. Bord:), suspension a touch loose, lightly toned, minor edge bruise, otherwise good very fine. Private William Connor was born on 1 December 1876 at Fyzabad in Bengal, India, the son of John Connor, a Private in the 25th Foot (later King’s Own Scottish Borderers) and Marion née Darrach of Islay, Scotland, whom he had met and married in Glasgow before travelling to India. Tragically, John Connor died in the cholera outbreak in Fyzabad in 1877, leaving Marion with four young children, one of whom was William Connor. She remarried within the year to another soldier, Thomas Septimus Woodman. In due course, they returned to Scotland and settled in Glasgow where William was recorded in the 1891 census as a Van Boy. Following in the footsteps of his brother Thomas, William Connor, who had served in the Militia with the Highland Light Infantry, enlisted in the King’s Own Scottish Borderers in November 1893 and served with the Regiment in India from November 1895 to November 1903 and in Burma from November 1903 to November 1905. He was discharged in November 1905 after 12 years with the colours. The Medal is offered with a copy of Private Connor’s service history from the National Archives and of the Roll showing entitlement to the Medal and the two clasps.
