Following the violence of the French Revolution, he fled to London where his patrons included members of the Royal Family and the aristocratic elite. The present example shows Arlaud's successful amalgamation of both English and French miniature painting techniques. His sitter here is typically presented in a frank and open manner, with great detail and skill shown especially in rendering the fabric of the coat. Condition appears fine.

Charles Shirreff (Scottish, 1750-1831) Portrait of Colonel Gordon Skelly (1767-1828), wearing the uniform of the Royal Regiment of Foot watercolour 6.70 x 5cm (3 x 2in) Other Notes: Gordon Skelly was born in Yarm, North Yorkshire, in 1767. In 1782, at the age of fifteen, he entered the army as ensign in the 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment of Foot and in 1789 was promoted to Lieutenant. In 1783 the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of Foot was stationed in Ireland and in 1790 they were transferred to Jamaica where they remained for four years, although Skelly remained in Yorkshire on recruiting duty. He is recorded as a Major in the Scotch Brigade (Grand Army) in 1794/5 and Lieutenant-Colonel in 1799. In 1799 he fought at the siege of Seringapatam, the decisive battle which ended the third Anglo-Mysore War. Skelly's uniform indicates this would have been painted prior to his promotion to Captain in 1794, and before Shirreff's departure to India the following year. Skelly married Elizabeth Newsam shortly after the battle of Seringapatam in 1800, and they had five children. He is represented in a painting entitled 'Panorama of the Storming of Seringapatam' by Sir Robert Ker Porter (1777-1842). Perhaps a little loss of colour but fine.

Henry Stacy Marks, RA, RWS, HRCA (British, 1829-1898) Study of a Moluccan or Salmon-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) which is found only on Seram and its satellite islands, in Indonesia signed lower right with initials "HSM" watercolour 17 x 10cm (7 x 4in) Henry Stacy Marks, RA was an English artist who took a particular interest in painting birds. He enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools in 1851 and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1853. Marks became a member of the St John's Wood Clique in 1862. As his career progressed, he became increasingly interested in painting birds. Possibly his most famous painting is "A Select Committee" of 1891 which is now in the Walker Art Gallery. He was elected as a member of the Royal Academy following his painting "Convocation" which was exhibited in 1878. Most of his paintings of birds were watercolours, which he exhibited at the Old Watercolour Society or at the Fine Art Society. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds three of Marks' finished watercolour studies of birds and eleven sketches for larger paintings. Some of his works are exhibited in the Parrot House of Eaton Hall, Cheshire. Condition is fine.
