ROBERT MCGOWAN COVENTRY RSW ARSA (SCOTTISH 1855 - 1914), SHORE AT AUCHMITHIE watercolour on paper, signedmounted, framed and under glass image size 25cm x 34cm, overall size 41cm x 50cm Note 1: The Scottish artist Robert McGown (McGowan) Coventry (1855–1914) was born in Glasgow and trained at the Glasgow School of Art under Robert Greenlees and in Paris. He travelled on the Continent and to the Middle East but found most of his subject matter in the fishing communities of Scotland and in the Scottish Highlands. He was not closely associated with the group of young painters known as the Glasgow Boys, but shared their interest in rustic realism, in painting in the open air, and in French-inspired tonal and compositional technique. He was based in Glasgow throughout his professional life. His work has not yet received a scholarly appraisal. In 1889 he became a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and in 1906 was elected associate of the Royal Scottish Academy, exhibiting regularly with both organisations and with the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.Note 2: The work on offer is at rare Paris scene depicting the activities of everyday life on the river Seine in the late nineteenth century, which demonstrates the influences of the french masters in the freedom of the brushwork and strong use of colour.

James Paterson, PRSW RSA RWS, Scottish 1854-1932- Ruined castle on Loch, Ayr; watercolour on paper laid down on board, 25.6 x 37.1 cm. Provenance: with Anne Paterson Wallace (1923-2018) (grand-daughter of the artist), Woodbridge, Suffolk. with St Lawrence Gallery, Ipswich, Suffolk. Private Collection, UK. Exhibited: London, Belgrave Gallery, 'Paterson Family Exhibition, 1877-1977', June-July 1977, no. 46. Note: Paterson was associated with The Glasgow Boys, having developed strong friendships with Sir James Guthrie (1859-1930), Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933), and William York Macgregor (1855-1923) whilst painting the landscapes of his native Dumfriesshire. The present work is a particularly charming example of Paterson's style, having somewhat reduced the scene to bold areas of colour which imparts an almost geometric element to the landscape. 

After Francis Cleyn, German c.1582-1658- Putti and a Cupid Towing a Putto on a Cockleshell Boat, after Polidoro da Caravaggio; pencil and watercolour on paper, 21.2 x 27.5 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work looks to date to the late 17th century and is presumably taken after Cleyn's much larger painted ceiling in tempera, dating to the 1630s, which is held in The Green Closet at Ham House [NT1140154]. The Green Closet is a small chamber off The Long Gallery, which was designed as a personal gallery to display both cabinet pictures and miniatures. It is a rare survivor from the reign of King Charles I. A relating tapestry after designs by Polidoro da Caravaggio (c.1499-1533), in reverse format to the present work and dating to c.1678, is held in Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire [NT1129461.2]. The original painting by Polidoro is part of a set of nine narrow panels that probably once decorated a small room, and which date to c.1523-5 (John Shearman, 'The Early Italian Paintings in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen', 1983, pp.196-9). The series included six narrow, frieze-like compositions of playing putti, nymphs and satyrs - which the present work derives from, and which form the main basis of the Hardwick Hall tapestry series - and three larger panels of 'Psyche Abandoned', 'Psyche Discovers Cupid' and 'The Reception of Psyche in Olympus'. The nine Polidoro panels were bought by King Charles I from William Frizzel in 1637, and were recorded as hanging in the Privy Lodgings at Whitehall. At some time in the late 1630s or early 1640s, Cleyn, who was designer to the Mortlake tapestry workshop, made copies of some of the panels adding landscape backgrounds and transforming them into rectangular scenes, possibly intending them as models for tapestry. Three drawings by Cleyn have recently been discovered, their compositions very similar to three of the Hardwick tapestries, down to the details of the landscape backgrounds and numerous alterations to the figures (David Howarth, 'The Southampton Album: A Newly Discovered Collection of Drawings by Francis Cleyn the Elder and His Associates', Master Drawings, vol.49, no.4 (Winter 2011), pp.438-9). A further tapestry version of 'Putti Pulling a Cockle Shell Boat' with no borders was sold at Christie's South Kensington, 12 June 2002, lot 390 (the same tapestry was reproduced in Henry C. Marillier, English Tapestries of the Eighteenth Century, London 1930, plate 9). 

John Varley, OWS, British 1778-1842- Landscape with trees; grey wash on paper, 15.2 x 21.7 cm. Provenance: with Spink & Son, London, no.K3/2306. Private Collection, UK. Note: Varley was a prolific watercolourist and a close friend of William Blake (1757-1827). He was an influential figure in the development of watercolour painting in Britain, as one of the founders of the 'Old Watercolour Society' in 1805, and also instructed a number of significant watercolourists in the generation to follow, including John Linnell (1792-1882), David Cox (1783-1859), Copley Fielding (1787-1855), and William Turner of Oxford (1789-1862).
