Title Vic Andrews Ostriches Kalahari Sunset African Wildlife Pastel Painting Key Details Artist: Vic Andrews, 1922–2013 Title: Ostriches in the Kalahari at Sunset Medium: Pastel, framed Picture Size: 21.75 x 32.5 inches, plus frame Provenance: Private collection, UK Condition: Good Signature / Inscriptions: Not stated Description A large African wildlife pastel by Vic Andrews, depicting ostriches moving across the Kalahari at sunset. The composition is beautifully spacious, with the birds silhouetted along the low horizon beneath a wide sky of soft gold, peach and pink cloud. The dry scrubland and isolated tree give the scene a strong sense of place, while the pastel medium allows for a particularly gentle handling of light and atmosphere. At 21.75 x 32.5 inches, plus frame, this is a generous landscape-format work that would sit well above a sofa, sideboard, console or bed. The warm sunset palette would bring softness and depth to a sitting room, study, hallway or bedroom, especially in interiors with natural textures, warm neutrals, leather, linen or darker wood. Although it is a wildlife subject, the restraint of the composition makes it feel calm and considered rather than overtly decorative. Vic Andrews was born in London and spent his adult life in South Africa, drawing many of his subjects from travels through Natal, the Western Cape...

Spanish Flamenco Dancer Guitarist Scene Pastel Drawing Mid Century Barcelona Artist: Alfredo Opisso Cardona (1907–1980) Title: Jota Medium: Pastel on paper Date: circa 1965 Signature: Signed lower right Condition: Very good condition Frame: Framed Dimensions (artwork): 46 × 36 cm (18.12 × 14.18 in) Dimensions (frame): 65 × 55 cm (25.6 × 21.65 in) DESCRIPTION Elegant mid-century pastel composition depicting a traditional Spanish dance scene with guitarist and dancer in stylized folkloric costume, executed circa 1965 by Barcelona artist Alfredo Opisso Cardona. The work combines refined draftsmanship with soft chromatic transitions characteristic of the Opisso family’s contribution to twentieth-century Catalan figurative drawing. The balanced interaction between gesture and costume detail creates a lyrical interpretation of Spanish musical culture aligned with the decorative figurative tradition developed in Barcelona during the mid-century period. Its intimate scale and original frame make the piece especially suitable for collectors of Mediterranean figurative drawing and refined European interior compositions. ARTIST BIO Alfredo Opisso Cardona (Barcelona, 1907–1980) belonged to the well-known Opisso family of Catalan artists and developed a career centered on figurative drawing, illustration and pastel compositions inspired by everyday life and Spanish cultural themes. His work continues the Barcelona draftsmanship tradition associated with early twentieth-century modern Catalan illustration and refined social scene painting. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / INSPIRATION This composition reflects the Barcelona figurative drawing tradition developed around the legacy of Ricard Opisso and the broader Catalan illustration movement connected to early twentieth-century modernisme and noucentisme culture. The theatrical gesture and costume treatment resonate with Spanish dance imagery explored by artists such as Ignacio Zuloaga and Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa, while the refined pastel handling connects with European salon drawing traditions associated with artists working between illustration, costume studies and decorative figurative composition across the School of Paris environment. Spanish dancer painting...
