About the Item

Claude Cardon British, (1864-1937) Spring Lambs Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 9.5 inches x 13.5 inches Size including frame: 16.25 inches x 20.25 inches A charming painting of sheep with lambs in front of a hedgerow by Claude Cardon. One of the animals grazes as the others look out across the flower meadow. Claude Lorraine Clark known as Claude Cardon was born in 1864 to the landscape artist Samuel James Clark (1841-1928) and his wife Maria Thornton. He was born into the Clark family of artists; his grandfather was James Clark (1812-1884), a well-known animal painter and his uncles were Albert Clark (1843-1928), Octavius Thomas Clark (1850-1921) and James Albert Clark (1863-1955). His brother Ernest Victor Clark (1867-1931) and cousins Frederick Albert Clark (1869-1954) and William Albert Clark (1880-1963) also became artists. The family lived in Islington and Claude was taught to paint by his father, who also taught him to play the violin. Like other members of his family, he painted animals, specialising in rural farm scenes often depicting calves, chickens, pigs and sheep. In 1888, he married Lottie Maud Whetstone and together they lived at 10 Witherington Road in Islington. By 1892, he had started using the pseudonym of Claude Cardon, presumably to distinguish himself between other members of his artistic family and in the same year made his debut at the Royal Academy under this name. He began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1893 and went on to exhibit at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and the Manchester City Art Gallery. He moved to Camden in the St Pancras area of London in 1895, where he worked out of a studio. He lived there with his family until around 1911, when he settled in Whitstable, Kent, living at 12 Cromwell Road. However, he continued to keep a studio in Camden until around 1924. Cardon spent his final years living at 79 Canterbury Road, Whitstable, where he died on 20 January, 1937. Examples of his work can be found at the Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery. Presentation: The work is housed in a period gilt frame which is in excellent condition. Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having just been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished. © Benton Fine Art

19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland cattle at Glen Goil
By William Watson
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
William Watson Jnr British, (1847-1921) Up Glen Goil, West Highlands Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1892, further inscribed verso Image size: 23.5 inches x 35.5 inches Size including frame: 36.25 inches x 48.25 inches This highly atmospheric and well executed painting by William Watson Jnr depicts Highland Cattle watering at Glen Goil. Glen Goil is a valley area of Argyll and Bute in the West Highlands. It is situated at the junction of Hell’s Glen and Gleann Mor and has the river Goil flowing through. Located around 2 miles from Lochgoilhead, it is well known as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Watson made several trips to the Highlands and produced a number of paintings of the locality, many of which included highland cattle such as this fine example. Another painting by him of Glen Goil is held by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s. As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists. Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...

"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...
