John Lewis Shonborn
Head of a Arab Horse

About the Item

Oil on cardboard mounted on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 9 x 7 1/4 inches (23 x 18.5 cm) Original gilt frame This painting shows a horse standing in profile in front of, what would seem, an overcast landscape as background. A serenity is brought to the painting as soft light surrounds the horse and illuminates the front of the creature's head. Shonborn has captures the near perfect white colouring of the horse, the expert handling of the muted tones show traces of a Barbizon influence. With stunning detail and fine finishing of the head and muscular definition this is a most fine equestrian study.

  • Portrait of Stanley Bate, 20th Century Musician
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on canvas Image size: 24 x 29 inches (61 x 73.5 cm) Contemporary style gilt frame Provenance From the estate of the artist, Clara Klinghoffer This portrait is by an artist who propelled rapidly into the limelight after her first solo exhibition in 1920, at the age of 19, with the Daily Graphic naming her as the 'Girl Who Draws Like Raphael'. Yet today Clara Klinghoffer's name is little know. Klinghoffer's early success resulted in numerous portrait commissions, including this one of the English composer Stanley Bate. The bold use of colour and naive execution of this portrait clearly reveals the modernist influence of fellow Jewish artists such as Bernard Meninsky, Jacob Kramer and Mark Gertler...
