A fine sporting horse portrait of a chestnut hunter called Sunshine in a stable by Alfred Moginie Bryant. The mare is depicted facing right with her head slightly turned towards the viewer to reveal a wide white stripe running down her face. Her hind leg bears a distinctive white sock. Sunshine was a chestnut mare foaled in 1887, by Fetterlock. She was owned by Mr Charles Matthew Prior of Adstock Manor, Winslow in Buckinghamshire. He most likely commissioned the portrait to commemorate the horse in some way, perhaps with a view to selling her on.
Alfred Moginie Bryant was born in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire in 1855, the son of Charles Bryant and Susan Moginie His father was a silk merchant and draper who ran a successful business in Huntingdon High Street employing several staff. Although his other brothers went on to work for the family business, Alfred’s talent for art led him in a different direction. Given his father’s success in business, it is highly likely that Bryant received artistic tuition and may well have attended art school.
By the 1880’s he had moved to London and was working as a full time artist. Although it is not known if he was christened with the name Moginie, he began signing his works ‘A M Bryant’ or ‘A Moginie Bryant’ from the start of his career. He also found work as a book illustrator producing drawings for books including the Tourist Guide to the Continent, published in 1880. He is known to have travelled around the country working on commissions and spent time in Leamington Spa and Eastbourne where he met his future wife Mary Bennett. The couple married in 1904 and lived at Bradley House, 20 Lushington Road in Eastbourne.
By 1921, Bryant had moved back to London where he resided at 21 Stanley Gardens, Hampstead. During this period of his life he continued to work on commissions but was also employed by the Anglo Saxon Petroleum Co Ltd, later Shell Petroleum, at their headquarters at St Helen’s Court, Leadenhall Street in London, providing drawings and marketing illustrations. He remained in Hampstead until his death on 27 January, 1935.
Presentation: The painting is housed in its original gilt ‘Watts’ frame which is in excellent condition.

A lovely landscape painting of sheep on a coastal cliff by Charles ‘Sheep’ Jones. The sheep and her two lambs are depicted against the backdrop of the sea with shipping and chalk cliffs in the distance. The location is likely to be the Devon coast, an area Jones visited often.
Charles Jones was an animal painter who was born in Stepney, London in 1836. He was the son of the artist Samuel John Egbert Jones (1797-1861) and Dinah Jones. He lived with his parents and 9 siblings in Mile End and was a pupil of his father. In September 1859, he married Frances Rosalinda Downe, who was born in America. His son Arthur Bertram Loud (1863-1930) also became an artist. They lived at 12 Hayes Place, Lisson Grove from where he made his debut in London at the Royal Academy in 1861. He also exhibited at the British Institution, Suffolk Street, New Watercolour Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
By 1867, he had become a successful artist and had moved to 7 Paragon Place, Brixton Hill. From 1874, he lived at Heathercroft, Balham Hill where he spent the rest of his life. As well as the major London galleries, he also exhibited provincially at various locations including: the Royal Cambrian Academy where he was elected a member in 1886, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, Manchester City Art Gallery, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Some of the smaller more intimate galleries he exhibited at were Arthur Tooth & Sons and Thomas Richardson...

"A River Landscape with Wild Horses", Victorian original, oil on canvas
By John Frederick Herring Jr
Located in Naples, Florida
This is an original unique oil painting by the artist. Born into an artistic family in Doncaster, England during 1820. Best known for his equine art, of the same character as those of the elder Herring, including "The Home Farm," "The Homestead," "The Farm-Yard," etc.John F. Herring, Jr. was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire c.1820, to the well-known 19th-century artist John Frederick Herring, Sr. (1795-1865), who at the time, was considered one of England's great Sporting and Equestrian artists, patronized by the English aristocracy. The father's mastery of the brush, and popularity with the nobility, served his son, Herring, Jr., well. Early on, John, Jr. was exposed to fine painting and wealthy patrons. Recent reference books state that Herring, Sr.'s first child was named "John Frederick Herring, Jr." and was born on June 21, 1815. John Herring, Jr. developed a love for painting, a passion also shared by his brothers Charles and Benjamin. Three of the
four brothers became artists, painting in the same style as their father, often collaborating on a single painting. In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature. John Herring, Jr. continued painting in the tradition of his father, the sporting and animal pictures...
