The dream like quality of this painting is very highly detailed. In the garden of the house a woman in a white apron works away. While down the lane we see two figures gardening. Its a very English country village in the height of summer.
Born in Margate, England, John Shelley was a painter and jazz musician. Primarily known for his dream-like, quintessential English pastoral scenes, Shelley trained at Wimbledon School of Art where he developed his almost-surrealist style. After winning a British Institution Fund award in 1957, Shelley went on to develop his practice at the Slade School of Art in 1958.
Shelley noted the heavy influence of artists such as Samuel Palmer and Stanley Spencer on his work, whose imaginative as well as mystical depictions of rural, everyday life helped shape his compositions.
In 1960 John was called up for National Service with the RAF but continued to paint due to encouragement from his wife.
His successful submission of his painting The Visitation to the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1968, launched Shelley's career as a painter as he exhibited alongside artists such as Dod Procter, William Dring and Ruskin Spear. He would then go on to exhibit at the summer exhibition for many more years between 1968-1988.

Emilio Rodríguez Larraín was a Peruvian postwar and contemporary painter and sculptor who was born in 1928. He was trained at the Lima School of Engineers (currently the National University of Engineering) from 1945 to 1949. This is how he entered art and was able to learn tools and techniques that would help him in his future works. In the 1950s he ventured into painting under the influence of the French architect and abstract art painter Jean Dewasne, thus developing a painting style based on the abstract and the geometric until his trip to Europe where he migrated to the style of modernist informalism. and made paintings that alluded to the cultures of ancient Peru. His work demonstrates versatile artwork of horizontal geometric constructions, expressive paintings and architectural interventions categorized as post minimalism. Received a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation award for his art.

The piece we offered the front over of Staempfli Gallery's exhibit of Rodriquez-Larrain work. The write-up of Rodriquez-Larrain's work by The New Yorker, November 3, 1962 states:
"Talk story about Emilio Rodriguez-Larrain, a Peruvian painter, who currently has 46 paintings on display at the Staempfli Gallery. A photograph of Emilio, distributed by the gallery, showed a great resemblance to Zero Mostel. He doesn't look like Mostel at all. The picture was taken in Paris last May, when he had the mumps. He was born in Lima in 1928, the son of an industrialist. His father's family came to Peru in the 17th century. Mr. Staempfli met Emilio in Llansa, Spain, last summer. Gordon Washburn, the director of fine arts at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, who had shown him last year, told Staempfli to look up Emilio, because he knew a tailor in Llansa who would make you a corduroy suit...
