Antique Horse Study "Heads, Hooves and Rump, 1838" Wouterus Verschuur (Dutch, 1812-1874) Pencil on paper Signed and Dated "W Verschuuur 1838" 10 x 6 1/2 (17 1/2 x 14 frame) inches In his time Wouterus Verschuur was an acclaimed and celebrated painter of horses. Through careful observation he learned to capture their physique and movement to perfection. As a true-born romanticist he was also interested in their character, thereby painting powerful carthorses in their stable, thoroughbred saddled horses during an afternoon ride or harnessed horses in action. He was born to an Amsterdam jeweler and received his training from the landscape and cattle painters Pieter Gerardus van Os and Cornelis Steffelaar. As part of this education Verschuur had to copy works by the 17th century painter Philips Wouwerman. Like Wouwerman, Verschuur's subjects consist mostly of stable scenes, landscapes with horses and coastal landscape. These works reflect the enduring influence of the northern Baroque masters on nineteenth century art, revealing the artist's close study of his Dutch and Flemish predecessors harking back to Peter Paul Rubens. Showing talent from a very early age, at 15 Verschuur had a painting exhibited at the "Exhibition of Living Masters" at Amsterdam in 1828. In 1832 and 1833 he won the gold medal at the annual exhibition at Felix Meritis. In 1833 he was appointed a member of the Royal Academy in Amsterdam. In 1839 he joined the artists' society, Arti et Amicitiae. His reputation was also considerable abroad. He was often featured in the annual exhibitions which travelled the large European cities at that time. In 1855 Napoleon III purchased one of his paintings at the Exposition Universelle* in Paris. The Verschuur horse revels in its physicality, like a quintessential Baroque horse...

George Richmond RA (British, 1809 – 1896) Studies of a statue and a sketch of a lady in ink Pencil on paper and pen 6.7/8 x 9.3/4in. (17.5 x 25 cm.) Provenance: Abbot and Holder and Moore Gwyn Fine Art George Richmond was an English painter and portraitist. In his youth he was a member of the Ancients, a group of followers of William Blake. He was a keen follower or cricket, always to be found at Lords. He was a long life friend of Samuel Palmer and was a fellow student of Edward Calvert and Thomas Sidney Cooper. In 1888 Richmond went to Paris to study art and anatomy, it is possible this is from that period. His later works are portraits or prominent figures of the day such as William Wilberforce. He is buried at Highgate Cementary. Perhaps his most famous painting is a portrait of Charlotte Bronte...
