Hendrick Jan Scholl
A hound and game in a woodland landscape

About the Item

Hendrick Jan Scholl (1717-1792) A hound and dead game in a woodland landscape Signed "H.J. Scholl pinx 1763" lower right Oil on canvas 46 1/2 x 36 1/4 in Provenance Sotheby's London, Old Masters, 18th September 1997, Lot 280; where purchased by the present owner Literature E.P. Löffler, 'Hendrik Jan Scholl (1717-1792)', Bijdragen en mededelingen Gelre. Historisch Jaarboek voor Gelderland 100 (2009), p. 158-164; p. 163, No. 14 Until now, the name Hendrik Jan Scholl was only known from a number of signed works of art, and from an entry in the archives of Castle Enghuizen (Hummelo) in connection with drawing lessons he taught. The appearance of an unknown drawing by his hand prompted extensive (archival) research, which yielded a wealth of new biographical information. Hendrik Jan Scholl also appears to have been an active member of the Zutphen magistrate. The curious combination of this with his artistry, commissioned by the regent patriciate to which he actually belonged, is typical of a Dutch provincial town of the eighteenth century, where social and professional dividing lines were less sharp than in the west of the Netherlands. the country. The article aims to provide a basis for further research. H.J. Scholl's work will probably appear in more archives than has been discovered so far.

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...

    Study of a dog Oil on paper laid down on panel, 17.5 x 25.5 cm Provenance Private collection, the Netherlands Note: We are grateful to Mr Fred Meijer for his attribution to Ludolf de Jongh Ludolf de Jongh was the son of a shoemaker. When his father moved to Rotterdam, the young Ludolf decided to learn art rather than shoemaking and became a pupil of Cornelis Saftleven. Later he studied under Anthony Palamedes in Delft and still later with Jan van Bijlert in Utrecht. In 1635 he travelled to France with Francis Bacon. Seven years later, in 1642, he returned to the Netherlands when he heard that his mother had fallen ill. He set up a shop in Rotterdam, and his earliest signed paintings date from that year. According to Houbraken, his travels had caused him to speak French so fluently, that his parents had to learn French in order to speak with him. De Jongh’s work shows a strong influence from the Utrecht school of Caravaggio admirers, especially Jacob Duck...
