Gerard Chowne, British 1875-1917- Still life of hollyhocks in a twin-handled vase; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'Chowne 1907.' (lower right), 53.7 x 36 cm. Provenance: with R. Robertson & Sons, St Andrews. Private Collection, UK. Note: Chowne worked across genres, producing portraits and landscapes as well as still life paintings. He was undoubtedly best known for his floral still lifes, of which the present work is a particularly charming example. Here, the impasto on the blooming flowers and buds creates a striking sense of depth.
Harold Clayton, British 1896-1979- Still life of primroses, morning glory, and roses in a vase; oil on canvas, signed 'Harold Clayton' (lower left), 45.7 x 50.8 cm. ARR. Provenance: with Richard Green, London, no.RH1229. Private Collection. Note: The present work is a particularly charming example of Clayton's oeuvre, depicting an abundant bouquet of flowers in a low vase. The artist is notable for his highly detailed approach, with his sensitive brushstrokes confidently evoking the delicacy of the flowers and their foliage with a striking realism. His use of a vibrant colour palette here - and indeed in his floral compositions generally - emphasises the rich bounty and beauty of the flowers, especially when set against a plain background.
Edward Robert Hughes, RWS, British 1851-1914- A pair of portraits: Elizabeth Webb, holding a vase of flowers; and Thomas Webb, holding a black hat; each oil on canvas, the first signed and dated 'E.R. HUGHES.1876.' (lower right) and inscribed 'THOMAS.WEBB' (upper left), the second signed 'E.R.HUGHES.' (lower right) and inscribed and dated 'ELIZABETH.WEBB.1876' (upper left), each 61.6 x 51.5 cm., a pair (2). Provenance: Private Collection, Essex, until circa 1970-3; when purchased by the mother of the present owner. Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 15 July 2022, lot 95. Note: Although Hughes is known mostly for his romantic, somewhat fantastical watercolours such as 'Night with her Train of Stars', 1912 (Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, no.1915P100), in his early career he appears to have had a thriving portrait practice. Of his sixteen Royal Academy exhibits, the fourteen between 1879 and 1898 were portraits. The present works, with their intricate detailing, clearly show the influence of Pre-Raphaelite portraiture and the impact of artists such as Frederick Sandys (1829-1904) and William Holman Hunt (1827-1910). Hughes was studio assistant to Hunt from 1899 due to the older artist's deteriorating eyesight. Although little is known about the sitters, Thomas and Elizabeth Webb, Hughes has effectively captured a sense of their personalities. In his portrait of Elizabeth, for example, he has added props of the blue and white vase of flowers and the yellow neckerchief, which allow us an insight into her character.

Anon. sale, Bonhams, New York, 1 November 2012, lot 142. Private Collection, Spain. Exhibited: Washington, D.C., Corcoran Gallery of Art, 'Seven Portraits by Philip de László', 10-24 November 1921. Literature: Sitters’ Book II, opp. f. 22: William R. Castle, Jr July 3, 1921. Helen Wright, 'Philip A. de László, 'Art and Archaeology', Vol. XII, no.6, December 1921, p. 241. Philip de László, 1931 diary, 9 December entry, p.347. DLA109-0243, 'De Laszlo: Special Exhibition of His Portraits,' The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, 21 November 1921, p.19. The de László Archive Trust, 'The Catalogue Raisonné of Works by Philip de László (1869-1937) [online]', no.4035. Note: De László made his second visit to America in April of 1921. Before his arrival, an exhibition of his work took place at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, which then travelled to Knoedler’s in New York. This led to a number of important commissions, including those of President Harding [de László Archive Trust catalogue no.5569] and General Pershing [no.6887]. The sittings for those works took place at the White House interlaced with those for the present portrait, which took place on 3 and 11 July. According to the artist’s appointment book, sittings had also been arranged for 4-6 July; however, these were cancelled. The artist presented Castle with a rejected portrait of Charles Evans Hughes [no.41], who was also sitting at this time, and who signed the artist’s Sitters’ Book 16 July. William Richards Castle, Junior was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on 19 June 1878, eldest son of William Richards Castle (1849-1935) and Ida Beatrice Lowrey (1854-1926). His father, a lawyer and politician in the independent Kingdom of Hawaii, was from a wealthy family that had founded the agricultural giant Castle & Cooke, and maintained extensive holdings there. The sitter married Margaret Farlow (1880-1970) of Boston on 3 June 1902 and they had one daughter, Rosamond (born 1904). Castle graduated from Harvard College in 1900 and served as English teacher and assistant dean from 1904 to 1913. At the outbreak of the First World War, he joined the executive staff of the Red Cross in Washington, D.C., where he became director of the Bureau of Communications. In 1919 he became a special assistant in the Department of State, and by 1921 was chief of the Division of Western European Affairs, the position he held at the time he was painted. At the pinnacle of his career Castle served as Under Secretary of State 1931-33. Castle’s interests outside of politics were diverse. He was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1932, belonged to the Somerset Club in Boston, the Harvard and Grolier Clubs in New York, and the Metropolitan Club in Washington. He served as an overseer of Harvard College from 1935 to 1941. He was also an author, publishing two novels, The Green Vase (1912) and The Pillar of Sand (1914), and two non-fiction works Hawaii Past and Present (1915) and Life of Samuel Northrup Castle (1960), a biography of his great-grandfather. Castle died in Washington on 14 October 1963. His diaries were donated to Harvard and his papers to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library upon his wife’s death in 1970. In this strikingly vivid portrait, he is presented half-length turned slightly to the right, full-face to the viewer, dressed in a dark suit and tie with a wing collar, his arms crossed, and a gold ring on his wedding finger. We are grateful to Katherine Field for writing the catalogue entry for this portrait, which is included in the Philip de László catalogue raisonné, currently presented in progress online: www.delaszlocatalogueraisonne.com (no.4035).
