Provenance
The Collection of Charlie Watts.
Charlie Watts, the legendary drummer of The Rolling Stones, was renowned not only for his musical prowess but also for his profound affection for animals, particularly Collies. He and his wife, Shirley, resided at Halsdon Manor in Devon, where they managed a stud farm for Arabian horses. Their estate was also home to numerous dogs, reflecting their deep commitment to animal welfare.
George Henry Laporte (c. 1799–1873) was a British painter celebrated for his equestrian, sporting, and animal subjects. The son of watercolorist John Laporte, he followed in his father's artistic footsteps and became one of the notable sporting artists of 19th-century England. Laporte’s work was characterized by a precise, lively depiction of horses, hounds, and hunting scenes, capturing the vigor and elegance of English country pursuits.
A founding member of the Royal Society of British Artists, Laporte exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and other major venues. His reputation was further bolstered by his appointment as animal painter to the Duke of Cumberland, a role that brought him prestigious commissions and access to aristocratic patrons. In addition to his sporting art, Laporte occasionally painted Orientalist scenes, inspired by travels or popular artistic trends of the time.
His work is admired for its clarity of composition, lifelike rendering of animals, and ability to capture the dynamic energy of the hunt and the showground. Today, George Henry Laporte is remembered as a significant figure in British sporting art, and his paintings remain sought after by collectors of 19th-century equestrian and animal art.
