JOSÉ BENLLIURE GIL (Valencia, 1855 - 1937)."The Gambler".Watercolour on paper.Signed in the lower left corner.Size: 95 x 60 cm; 106 x 72 cm (frame).José Benlliure showed great skill in the instantaneous, almost photographic, capture of his characters, insinuating singular temperaments, like that of this card player. The brother of the sculptor Mariano Benlliure and the painter José, Juan Antonio Benlliure began his training with the latter. He subsequently entered the San Carlos Academy in Valencia, where he furthered his studies and began to stand out as a portraitist. Like many of the artists of his time, he continued his artistic education in Rome. There he settled with his brother José, and began to paint brightly coloured canvases that would bring him renown as well as a good price for his work. In 1884 he took part in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid, where his painting "Por la patria! The drawing and colouring of this work already began to reveal the finesse of execution that would characterise his work in the future. Other Valencian artists also took part in this competition, and Benlliure's success spread not only among the artistic and literary circles but also among the upper echelons of society, and he began to receive numerous commissions both in Madrid and in Rome, where he had also begun to frequent the circles of high society. For a brief period he lived in the Italian town of Assisi, where he produced several watercolours depicting the history and landscape of the city. It was during these years that the death of King Alfonso XII made a great impression on him, leading him to consider painting a picture depicting the king's final moment. His friend the Marquis of Togores, Spain's ambassador in Rome, encouraged him to carry out the work, as did his brothers. Benlliure then began work on "The Last Kiss". Presented at the National Exhibition of 1887, it was not awarded a prize due to political circumstances, but it became very famous due to its subject matter and the detailed evocation of the scene. In 1904 Benlliure settled permanently in Madrid, where he achieved great prestige as a portraitist, especially for his female models. In 1929 he was awarded the silver medal at the Rome Exhibition, and in 1920 he was decorated at the National Exhibition in Madrid. He also exhibited at the Sala de Arte Suárez, where he was very well received by the public and critics. He is currently represented in the Museo del Prado, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Valencia, the Palacio de Pedralbes in Barcelona and the museums of Jaén and Málaga, among others, as well as in numerous private collections.

* PETER DAVIS,ORKNEY LANDSCAPEwatercolour on paper, signed and dated 1981image size 31cm x 49cm, overall size 49cm x 68cmMounted, framed and under glass.Note: Born in the North-East of England in 1953, Peter Davis didn't follow the usual path through art school. He chose instead an Art & Design course at Northumberland College of Education and after that taught in Cumbria. In 1981 he moved to Orkney where he set up a studio and gallery in Birsay and did a number of jobs teaching art to children and adults. During the next 10 years he developed his work and began to exhibit in a variety of venues both in Orkney and around other parts of Britain. In 1991 he moved to Shetland and soon took up an art teaching appointment. Peter Davis has had numerous exhibitions both in this country and abroad and taken part in an artists' exchange with the Netherlands and took courses on printmaking and sculpture. Between 2006 and 2008 he worked with Voluntary Service Overseas as a teacher trainer in West Africa. Upon his return to the UK Peter resumed teaching art part-time and painting. In 2013 he retired from teaching to devote his time to painting. In 2014 and 2016 he received Visual Arts Awards from Shetland Arts/Creative Scotland to develop his interest in handmade paint and work towards an exhibition based on visits to Iceland. 'Elemental' was shown at the Bonhoga Gallery in July - September 2016. Peter was a founder member of Veer North, the Shetland artist's group, and since 1994 has been an occasional arts reviewer and critic for The Shetland Times.

* WILLIAM BIRNIE RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1929 - 2006),WINTERFIELD, KILBARCHANoil on board, signed, titled labels versoimage size 35cm x 44cm, overall size 49cm x 59cmFramed.Artist's label verso.Handwritten label verso.Label verso: The Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh.Note: Bill Birnie studied at Glasgow School of Art under Gilbert Spencer and then at Hospitalfield under Ian Fleming. After graduating, he joined the staff at Hyndland Secondary School in 1952. That same year he was also elected a member of the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA). In 1958, he became a founder member of the Glasgow Group and formed the Glasgow Group Society, of which he was Vice-President for 32 years. In 1965, he was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW), a society of which he also became Vice-President and Treasurer. He became Principal Art Teacher at Douglas Academy, near Bearsden, and later at Gryffe High, near Kilbarchan. Bill's abilities not only as a teacher but also as an administrator were noticed by the Department of Education and he was soon appointed Head Examiner in Art for Scotland. He still managed to maintain a very active exhibiting schedule, and showed in all the main public galleries and many of Scotland's best commercial galleries. His work was enthusiastically collected and increasingly sought after. He was elected a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art (RGI) and of the Paisley Art Institute (PAI). In the early years, he painted from his garden, showing the village of Kilbarchan in its changing seasons, under a quiet blanket of winter snow, or framed in a blazing sunset through autumnal trees. Later visits to France and Italy with his artist wife, Cynthia Wall, whom he married in 1953, brought new subject matter, cafe scenes, vine groves, Italian clifftop villages, and the crumbling facades of palaces and churches of Venice. It was characteristic of the man that when told that his illness was terminal, he calmly put his affairs in order and started work for a final one-man show at the Open Eye Gallery (Edinburgh) the scene of so many of his successful shows. Unsurprisingly, the exhibition was a complete sell-out. In recent years there has been a widely acknowledged acceleration in the prices achieved at auctions around the UK for William Birnie's paintings. In the Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 8th November 2020 lot 567 "The Red House" a 60 x 90cm oil sold for £3000 (hammer) which, not for the first time in recent years, set a new auction record for a painting by William Birnie.
