About the Item
Louis-Eugène Le Roux
The Long Wait
1833-1905
Watercolour and gouache on paper, signed lower right
Image size: 9 2/3 x 15 1/8 inches (24.5 x 38.5 cm)
This charming watercolour by Louis-Eugène Le Roux depicts a coachman and his horse resting in the snow. A coachman was a professional driver of horse-drawn carriages, often employed by wealthy individuals or families. They were responsible for the care of the horses and the maintenance of the carriage, in addition to their driving duties. Their attire, particularly the overcoat, reflect their profession and the era, with heavy, stiff wool coats providing warmth for outdoor work.Both the horse and the coachman have their heads bowed, implying that the intense iciness of the Winter scene is causing both to shrink into themselves to preserve the last morsels of heat. The scene is highly atmospheric, with the dark palette of browns and blacks contrasting with the vivid white of the snow scattered across the ground and slowly piling up on the carriage. Barren trees recede into the background of the watercolour, becoming more and more vague as they do so - this, alongside some blurred structures in the background, indicates the presence of fog. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this work, aside from its haunting ambience, is the high level of detail of the snow. The powdery texture is almost tangible, and the way it layers on the coachman, horse, and the carriage is exquisite.

As part of his four-seasons collection, Newcombe masterfully captures the changing patterns of the year. In this panel titled Winter, Newcombe portrays the snow covered, barren landscape stretching across the composition, evoking the essence of the frosty months. The townscape, meticulously detailed and enveloped by heavy clouds on a crisp, fresh day, transports viewers to the depths of winter.

John Edward Goodall was the son of Alfred Goodall and Mary Palmer. Alfred was a brother to Edward A. and Frederick Goodall, both accomplished artists. He was most prolific during the period between 1877 and 1911. In the 1891 census he is shown as being married to Grace, manager of the Sommerville Club, London but by 1901 he is to be found with a woman named Annie. John associated with a bohemian art circle and tended to have a corresponding lifestyle.
The work produced by Goodall is well executed and often in watercolour. He trained at art school in London and travelled extensively. He was not the prolific artist like his uncles and a lot about his life is still...
