A beautifully painted large scale genre scene of a family in a cottage interior, by Haynes King. A young mother can be seen holding an orange for a small child in the centre of the room. As the baby reaches for the toy she is steadied by her father, who has taken a break from mending his net. Meanwhile, the grandmother can be seen sitting in an armchair beside an older child as they both watch on.
Haynes King was a genre painter who was born in Bridgetown, Barbados in 1831. At the age of 23 he came to England where he studied at Leigh’s Academy and became a notable genre figure painter. He started exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists from 1857 and became a member in 1864. He also exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, British Institute, New Watercolour Society, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and elsewhere from 1855-1904.
He was recorded as living in Victoria Road, Kentish Town in 1855 and shared a house with the artist Thomas Faed (1826-1900) who had a great influence on his style. He married Annie Elizabeth Wilson (née Preston) a widow, on 14 August 1866 and they lived at 12 Albert Street in Camden. By 1881, they had moved to a short distance away to 7 North Villas.
After the death of his wife in the late 1880’s, he went to live with the artist Henry John Yeend King (1855-1924) (no relation) and his family. He moved with them a couple of times before settling at 103, Finchley Road in 1896. In early 1904, his health began to deteriorate rapidly which sadly led to him ending his own life on 17 May, 1904.
King’s works usually depict women involved in small domestic incidents in humble interiors, although he did produce a series of paintings of young women in idyllic landscapes. His work can be found in many art galleries and museums including the Atkinison Art Gallery, Beverley Art Gallery, Laing Art Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery, New Art Gallery Walsall, Victoria Art Gallery (Bath) and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Presentation: The painting is housed in its wonderful original gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears an old handwritten label for E.G. Barr, Esq., of 76 Holland Park. Edward George Barr was an East India Merchant who lived at Holland Park, London from the late 1860’s until around 1901.There is also a label for the Colmore Galleries, a fine art dealers, framers and restorers based at 52 High Street, Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire. It was established in 1973 and continued to operate until the early 2000’s.

A wonderful genre painting by Charles Hunt of two men and two boys with horses and other animals in a cottage. A farmer and his two sons can be seen eating lunch at a table in rustic interior as a visitor approaches. Perhaps encouraged by the boys, a piglet seems to have found its way onto the table whilst a rabbit and guinea pig eat cabbage leaves on the floor. To the far right, a horse is shown in a stable area along with some piglets. To the far left, a terrier waits on the step by its master.

19th century English oil of still life of fruit, German Stein with silver lid
By CHARLES THOMAS BALE
Located in Woodbury, CT
Outstanding English 19th century still life of fruit, a German Stein with silver top in an interior.
Charles Thomas Bale was born in Soho, London in 1849, the son of Thomas Bale, a basket maker. His older brother Thomas Charles Bale (1831-1899) was an artist and picture restorer. He lived with his family in St James, Westminster and although little is known about his education, he would have undoubtedly received encouragement and drawing tuition from his brother. Bale started exhibiting in 1866 at the Institute of British Artists, Suffolk Street. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1872, the same year he married Caroline Leathem. Together, they spent their married life in St Pancras. He specialized in still life paintings predominantly of fruit, but he frequently incorporated baskets, a homage to his family’s profession, as well as pottery, glass, and game. Bale’s work was influenced by the English still-life artists George Lance and William Duffield...
