Early 20th century watercolour of a gentleman on horseback with other riders in the background apparently signed or titled 'Count A de Monthaus'. Signed or titled bottom left. Presented in fine period gilt frame under glass. The artist has captured a moment of pause, the gentlemen rider in his fine clothes and bowler hat regarding his surroundings as his fellow riders continue the chase behind him, possibly a 'point to point'. Monthaus has captured the stance of the standing horse as well as the movement of the other horses. He has used white to give light and definition to the costume of the rider and the background.

Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War...

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...
