About the Item

John Frederick Herring Junior, Antique 19th century English, Cart Horses in a farmyard landscape with cottage. John Frederick Herring Jnr. was a painter of sporting and animal subjects in oil and watercolor. His style was very similar to that of his father, John Frederick Herring Snr. Herring Jnr. painted many horse portraits in exquisite detail. In addition, he painted numerous charming small-scale studies of cows, rabbits, pigs, goats, birds, and other animals. He is renowned for his finely detailed farmyard scenes. He had a preference for smaller canvases enabling greater output. Occasionally and often for the purpose of exhibiting at the major academies, he would turn to the larger canvas. Although more time-consuming, they brought greater recognition and with it more lucrative commissions. Herring exhibited at the Royal Academy, British Institution, and Suffolk Street where he exhibited some fifty-three works This is an excellent example of the artist's work. Possibly painted with his father his later works became stiff and less of quality. The painting has been reframed and cleaned in the UK. The frame is a new hand-made English 19th-century style frame.

  • 19th Century Highland landscape oil painting of sheep near Loch Awe
    Located in Moreton-In-Marsh, Gloucestershire
    William Watson Jnr British, (1847-1921) On the Mountains, Loch Awe Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1892, further inscribed verso Image size: 12.5 inches x 18.5 inches Size including frame: 18.5 inches x 24.5 inches A wonderful painting of Highland sheep resting near Loch Awe by William Watson Jnr. Loch Awe is located in Argyll and Bute in the Scottish Highlands and this scene is taken from the mountain side overlooking the loch. William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s. As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists. Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen...
