About the Item

‘A Breeze after a Bathe’ by Walter Duncan ARWS (1847-1932). The painting – which depicts three young Victorian ladies and their dogs on Bournemouth beach after a swim – is signed by the artist and dated 1872. In October of that year the engraving of the painting (with the omission of the dogs) appeared in The Illustrated London News. Walter Duncan studied under his father, the eminent watercolourist Edward Duncan (1803-1882), and at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London before entering the Royal Academy Schools. For many years Duncan was one of the leading artists working for The Illustrated London News; the world’s first illustrated newspaper and the most popular weekly publication in Victorian Britain. Between 1869 and 1893 Walter Duncan exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Grosvenor Gallery, the New Gallery, and the Royal Watercolour Society. Today his work is held in various international galleries and museums, and in the Royal Collection of King Charles III. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1874.

Fire & Moonlight - Important 18th Century Oil Painting Georgian London by Night
By Abraham Pether
Located in Gerrards Cross, GB
‘Fire and Moonlight’ by Abraham Pether FSA (1752–1812). The painting – which depicts an extensive moonlit view across the City of London with a cottage on fire in the foreground – was exhibited at the Society of Artists Exhibition in London in 1790 and is sold with detailed provenance going back over 230 years. Such is the painting’s quality that for over 150 years it was thought to be by Joseph Wright of Derby (1734–1797) and was exhibited as such on many occasions alongside many of Joseph Wright’s paintings then in the important private collection of Lord Belper of Kingston Hall. This contemporary view of London in the late 18th century is seen from One Tree Hill in what was once the Great North Wood three miles south-east of the capital; prominent amongst the dozens of famous landmarks of Georgian...
