About the Item

Measures Painting 13.125 x 10.125 inches sight Framed 23.5 x 19.5 inches Matted and framed in a gold wood molding. Hubert von Herkomer (1849 - 1914) was a German-born British artist known for his detailed and narrative-driven paintings. Herkomer often depicted historical and genre scenes with a strong emphasis on character and atmosphere. In this very detailed watercolor painting, the rich color palette, detailed rendering of fabrics, and expressive figures align with his approach to storytelling in art. Bavarian-born though also retaining British residence he was also a pioneering film director, and musical composer. A large part of his artistic prominence was due to his realistic portrayals of the hardships faced by the poor, with notable works such as "Hard Times" (1885) depicting the struggles of a traveling laborer's family. In addition to his artistic achievements, Herkomer was a trailblazer in early filmmaking, establishing a studio at his Bushey residence where he directed historical costume dramas accompanied by his own musical scores. His multifaceted contributions to art and culture have left an enduring legacy, with his works held in various British collections, including the Manchester Art Gallery and the Tate. Additionally, the Art Renewal Center provides access to 233 of his artworks, showcasing the breadth of his artistic endeavors. Herkomer's diverse talents and dedication to portraying social realities have cemented his place as a significant figure in art history. The present work, is framed and matted under glass and in excellent condition. It depicts a scene from the Shakespeare play The Twelfth Night (1602)with Sir Tobey and Sir Andrew involved in a lively conversation.

Concours de Chiens au Promenade by Otto Eerelman
By Otto Eerelman
Located in New Orleans, LA
Otto Eerelman 1839-1926 Dutch Concours de Chiens au Promenade Watercolor on paper Signed “O. Eerelman 1904” (lower left) A tour de force watercolor by celebrated Dutch artist Otto Eerelman, one of 19th-century Europe's most popular and important animal portraitists, this charming composition captures a bustling cross-section of fashionable elites walking their equally fashionable canine companions. Eerleman takes care to render the detailed attire of his subjects, complete with plumed hats and layers of lace trim. The artist paints the plethora of pets in equally painstaking detail, capturing the nuances of each different breed represented. Eerelman mastered the art of depicting not only the dogs’ physical characteristics but also their unique expressions and personalities. His wealthy clientele would bring their pets to his home in The Hague where they would live for a period of time while having their portraits done, allowing for a remarkably true-to-life portrayal. This energetic watercolor, with its profusion of color and texture, harnesses the affluence of its subjects and the leisurely whimsy of their luxurious lives. Hailing from Groningen, Netherlands, Eerelman was dubbed the “Northern Rembrandt” during his lifetime. He received his artistic training at the Academy Minerva in Groningen, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and then private lessons in the studio of the great Lawrence Alma Tadema. He successfully captured the attention of the Dutch court, particularly Princess Wilhelmina...
