Gregory was born in Southampton, the son of a ship’s engineer and grandson of John Gregory, engineer-in-chief on Sir John Franklin’s last Arctic expedition. He was educated privately before entering the drawing-office of P&O in Southampton. He met Hubert von Herkomer, whose family had settled in Southampton, and together they attended life-classes. In 1869 they both joined the South Kensington Art School. He later studied at for a short time at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1871, together with his friends Herkomer and Robert Walker Macbeth, he began working for The Graphic as an illustrator. In the mid 1870s he started painting portraits and figurative subjects both in oil and watercolour, his first major painting, Dawn, (1876) was in the collection of John Singer Sargent (now in Royal Cornwall Museum).

- Raphel Soyer Seated Girl Signed Vintage Modern Figurative Original Oil PaintingBy Raphael SoyerLocated in Keego Harbor, MIAn original pensive oil painting on canvas titled “Seated Girl” by American artist Raphael Soyer. Hand signed bottom right. Circa 1950s. The painting depicts a young woman in red dressed in mid-20th century attire that was fashionable in the era. The walls behind her are bare, creating a stark and minimal composition. The main figure seated seems isolated among dramatic shadows and lighting, like the artworks by Edward Hopper. A unique opportunity to own an original painting from a New York Modernist painter. From a private collection. Dimensions: 34”h x 39.75”w x 1.5”d (framed). In very good vintage condition.

In the mid 1920s, having studied at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League, Soyer painted scenes of life on New York's east side. His portrayals of derelicts, working people, and the unemployed around Union Square during the Depression reveal more of a poignant vision of the human condition than the art of social protest popular with many of his contemporaries. Throughout his life Soyer painted people his friends, himself, studio models with an unerring eye...Category
