About the Item
"The Tavern"
by Georgina Lara (active 1862-1971)
oil painting on canvas, framed
painting: 9 x 13 inches
framed: 13 x 17 inches
Delightful Victorian oil painting by the very popular and widely admired painter, Georgina Lara (active between 1862-1971). Not only is the work of excellent quality but it depicts a wonderful insight into the social history of Victorian Britain. Villagers are out in full force enjoying what looks to be a warm late afternoon, perhaps on their way home from work and labour. The landlord (Mr. G. Hobbs) serves a rider on horseback, whilst to the far right an elderly gentleman passes by. Chickens and a dog bound around, hoping for scraps to come their way and all is well with the world! The details within the composition are superb - not only to the individual figures and animals but also to the building and tavern itself in particular, with its timber frame and latticed windows.
A painter of farmyard and village scenes, Georgina Lara exhibited at the British Institution as well as exhibiting sixteen works at Suffolk Street. Very little in fact is known about her life. Her work is sometimes attributed to Edward Masters, whose style is very similar to her own.
Lara’s work is noted for her putting large numbers of doll like figures into her paintings and setting them in country and village scenes where they are going about their daily chores and duties. As a rural idyll we might all like to emulate today, the artist’s work remains very collectable.
Condition report:
The painting is in overall very good and presentable condition, bar a very small flecks of paint loss which are barely noticeable. It is well presented in this ornate frame with name plaque to the frame.

- 19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland sheep at Glen CoeBy William WatsonLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Watson Jnr British, (1847-1921) Morning, Head of Glen Coe Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1897, further inscribed verso Image size: 12.5 inches x 18.5 inches Size including frame: 19.75 inches x 25.75 inches A superb Scottish landscape painting of Highland Sheep at the head of Glen Coe by William Watson. The sheep and their lambs are depicted grazing in the morning light with the dramatic mountains beyond. Glen Coe is a valley located in the Highlands to the North of the county of Argyll and close to the province of Lochaber. The area, which became infamous for the Massacre of Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most scenic Highland glens. 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 Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...Category

- 19th Century landscape oil painting of sheep in a Sussex laneBy William Luker Sr.Located in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Luker Snr British, (1828-1905) Sheep in a Sussex Lane with Pevensey Bay in the distance Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1875 Image size: 17.25 inches x 25.25 inches Size including frame: 23.25 inches x 31.25 inches A tranquil landscape scene of a shepherd and his flock resting in a lane near Pevensey Bay, Sussex by William Luker. The ruins of Pevensey Castle can be seen in the distance with the sea beyond. William Luker Snr was born in 1828 at Faringdon, Berkshire to William and Jane Luker (née Charlwood). His father was a plumber and glazier by trade and the family lived at London Street in Faringdon. Little is known about his early education and it is believed for the most part he was self -taught. However, given the quality of his work and the fact that his family were able to keep a servant, he may well have received some artistic tuition. By the early 1850’s, he had begun earning a living as an artist by advertising in local directories, earning commissions from local landowners. He made his debut at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1851 and was a prolific exhibitor there for over 40 years. He began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1852 and also exhibited at the British Institution. He married the artist Ada Augusta Margetts (1839-1930) on 27 October 1864. Their eldest son William Luker Jnr (1867-1951) also became a well-known artist. The couple soon moved to London where they lived at 22 Gloucester Terrace, Campden Hill from where they both exhibited. From 1867, they lived at 15 Sheffield Terrace in Kensington until 1874 when they moved for the final time to 22 Notting Hill Square, later renamed Campden Hill Square in 1893. He died at Campden Hill-square on 28 February, 1905. Luker specialised in landscapes featuring animals such as sheep and cattle, horses and deer. He travelled around visiting areas such as Sussex, Buckinghamshire, Kent, Wales and the Highlands. However, he also made trips to Egypt and Libya producing a series of Oriental scenes in the early 1860’s. His works show a great attention to detail and his use of a lighter palette gives his subjects a luminous quality that instantly attracts the viewer. Examples of his paintings are held by the Atkinson Art Gallery, National Library of Wales, Newstead Abbey...Category
