An atmospheric painting of boats on a river at sunset by Stuart Lloyd. A group of figures are shown in front of a cottage as fishermen in their boats prepare to head ashore. In the distance a hay barge sails towards a church and other buildings.
Stuart Lloyd or Walter Stuart Lloyd was a painter of river and landscape scenes who was born in Upper Clapton, near Hackney, London on 17 March, 1858. He was baptised Stuart Lloyd and was the son of James Lloyd, a publisher and Hannah Helen Durham whose income allowed them to live comfortably and give their children a good education. His older brother Thomas James Lloyd (1849-1910) was also an artist. During the late 1860’s the family moved to Walmer in Kent and at some point in the 1870’s he went to Paris to study at the studio of Bonnat.
Upon his return, he settled in Worcester living at Waverley House, Cromer Garderns in Henwick. He began exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1875 as well as at the Royal Society of British Artists where he was elected a member at the age of just 20; the youngest person ever elected. He also exhibited at Suffolk Street, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and elsewhere.
From 1878 he was living in London where he married Bessie Rose Kite in 1887 and they lived at 8 Clydesdale Mansions, Kensington. In May 1891, he won a gold medal at the annual Crystal Palace show for his painting ‘The Harvest Moon’. By 1901, he had moved to Sussex where he lived at Lake Lane in Yapton before moving to the Hove area of Brighton. He died at Hove on 18 July, 1926 and is buried at Hove Cemetery.
He spent his time travelling around painting the rural landscapes, riverscapes and coastal views of Britain, often featuring people working on boats and barges. His ability to capture the light and atmosphere of a scene gained him considerable success as artist during his lifetime and have made his works enduringly popular. Some confusion has arisen as to his first name as he began exhibiting from 1875 as W. Stuart Lloyd and at some point the name of Walter was attributed to him, which was possibly his middle name. However, from 1879 he returned to his original name of Stuart Lloyd, which is listed on his birth record and other official documents. For the remainder of his life he signed his paintings ‘Stuart Lloyd’.
Examples of his paintings can be found at the Newport Museum, Salford Museum & Art Gallery, Sheffield Museum, Touchstones Rochdale, Towner Eastbourne and the Worcester City Museum.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.

- 19th Century seascape oil painting of Penzance harbour, CornwallBy William Edward WebbLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Edward Webb British, (1862-1903) Penzance Harbour Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 29 inches x 45.5 inches Size including frame: 38 inches x 54.5 inches A pleasing coastal painting of Penzance Harbour at low tide by William Edward Webb. In the foreground, a fisherman sells his catch to a woman and her daughter, whilst figures in horses and carts wait for others to unload their boats. William Edward Webb was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1862 to William Benjamin Webb and Ellen Butler. His father was a printer and an artist and it is highly likely he received tuition from him. Following the death of his mother, his father remarried and moved the family to Manchester sometime after 1871. By the 1880’s, Webb had started working as an artist and later set up a studio at 30 Exchange Buildings in Manchester. He began exhibiting at the Manchester City Art Gallery from 1890, where he showed more than 60 paintings during his lifetime. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy and Walker Art Gallery Liverpool from 1892. He married Clara Foster in 1899 and the couple lived at 1 Sylvan Grove, Chorlton Upon Medlock in South Manchester with their daughter Florrie. He became friends with the artist Walter Emsley (1860-1938) who also lived in Manchester. Although he spent the rest of his life in Manchester, Webb travelled throughout the UK painting coastal and marine scenes around the main ports and harbours. He spent a great deal of time in the Isle of Mann painting numerous scenes along the coast including views of Peel and Douglas Harbour, subjects he frequently returned to. Webb painted in a highly distinctive style; loose and informal but which manages to retain the sense of perspective. He struggled with ill health and depression throughout his life which sadly led to his suicide 9 November, 1903. In 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at The Old Customs House and Old Solent House in Lymington, which brought a new found interest in his work. His paintings are now highly sought after and are represented in many collections and Museums including the Astley Hall...Category
