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 Paice (1854–1925) was a British painter renowned for his finely detailed portraits of horses, dogs, carriages, and rural sporting life. Born in Pimlico, London, he trained at Heatherley School of Fine Art and the Royal Academy, developing a classical style that earned him steady commissions from the English aristocracy.
Though Paice rarely exhibited publicly—preferring to work directly with private patrons—his paintings graced the walls of country houses, hunting lodges, and officers' messes. He specialized in equestrian and canine subjects, but also became well known for his atmospheric scenes featuring horses and carriages, often depicted with precise draughtsmanship and a nostalgic charm. These works captured not only the animals but also the elegance and social ritual of the Edwardian and Victorian countryside.
Settling in Croydon after marrying in 1879, Paice painted throughout his life, producing both small-scale portraits of beloved pets and grander works depicting racehorses, hunting scenes, and coaching views. His portrayals of horses in harness—drawing fine carriages across sweeping landscapes or waiting at village inns—reflect a deep understanding of equine form and behavior, likely rooted in close observation and familiarity with country life.
Among his best-known works are Sansovino (the 1924 Derby winner), Pretty Polly, and a series of refined carriage scenes showing pairs or teams of horses in motion. His ability to convey both the strength of the animals and the elegance of their surroundings contributed to his popularity among upper-class clients.
Though Paice faced financial hardship after World War I, he continued to paint with devotion until his death in 1925. He was buried in Croydon with his racing colours draped over his coffin—a quiet tribute to a life spent capturing the grace of horses on canvas.
His works are now held in collections at the Walker Art Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery, Mount Stewart (National Trust), and even MoMA in New York. Today, George Paice is remembered as one of Britain’s leading sporting and animal painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

George Paice
George Paice (1854–1925) was an accomplished English artist celebrated for his exquisite equestrian and animal paintings. Born in Pimlico, London, Paice demonstrated an early affinity for art and attended prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, where he honed his technical skills and refined his distinctive style. Paice specialized in painting horses, dogs, and other animals, often commissioned by wealthy patrons, landowners, and aristocrats to immortalize their prized animals on canvas. His works are characterized by their lifelike detail, elegant composition, and an ability to capture the personality and vitality of his subjects. Paice's mastery of texture and anatomy enabled him to produce vivid and emotive representations of animals, making his portraits cherished heirlooms. While his primary focus was on animals, Paice also painted rural landscapes and hunting scenes, offering glimpses into the pastoral life of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. His art was admired for its traditional aesthetic and timeless appeal, standing apart from the emerging modernist movements of his time. Paice's paintings remain highly sought after by collectors and are frequently found in country houses, galleries, and private collections. His work preserves a legacy of Britain's equestrian culture and rural heritage, continuing to resonate with audiences who appreciate classic animal portraiture.

Provenance: The E. W. Towler Collection, formerly of Glympton Park, Woodstock, Oxfordshire see details below
The artist John Vine was born with a disability that did not appear to interfere with his ability to draw and paint, largely self-taught as an animal painter, as his reputation grew he exhibited at the Society of British Artists in Grosvenor Square. Based at Colchester he painted many different subjects including farms, houses, children and animals.
Eric W. Towler was a remarkable man. He was born in 1900 and left school at the age of 12 to work in a Yorkshire pit and through a lifetime of hard work, self-improvement, luck and a refusal to limit his horizons achieved many of his aspirations.
As a Yorkshireman through and through, he believed in ‘spending the brass in his pocket’ and over time he was successful enough to acquire enough ‘brass’ to enable his purchase of Glympton Park and furnish it as a traditional country house with all the trappings – in his case collections of...

Pair of English Impressionist Horse and Buggy scenes with drivers
Located in Woodbury, CT
When Johnny left school, there were many interests which ran alongside his career at the time in the City of London as an Aviation Insurance Broker at Lloyds – writing music, playing with a band, tinkering with Vintage cars, marketing various inventions and making painting trips when possible – it wasn’t long before the Arts beckoned and at twenty six he won a place at the Fine Arts Academy in Florence where he moved in 1972.
A year later, moving near Lake Trasimeno, he continued his studies at the Fine Arts Academy in Perugia. Again on the move, he travelled to Pietrasanta near Carrara with some sculptors and stayed on this coast for nearly a year before moving eventually to Grimaldi, just inside Italy – a small medieval village about three hundred yards from the Italian /French frontier close to Monte Carlo.
Here he began a series of backstage paintings – at the Opera and Orchestra rehearsals, fashion shows, at the Circus, Jazz and Cabaret – exhibiting regularly along the coast in Monaco, Nice, Cannes and Antibes.
In 1984, circumstances changed and it was necessary to return to England – where a chance invitation to the races triggered a whole new series ‘At the Races’ which in time produced a wider series entitled ‘The British Sporting Year’ of Polo, The Henley Regatta, Derby Day, Wimbledon, Bowls, Cricket, Golf – even Jousting at Hever Castle...
