Samuel Raven (1775–1847) was a British artist best known for his exquisitely detailed still-life paintings, particularly of birds and natural scenes. Born in Birmingham, England, Raven originally trained as a japanner (a decorative painter of lacquerware), a craft that demanded precision and an eye for intricate design. These skills would later define his work as a painter.
Raven’s art stood out in the early 19th century for its combination of scientific observation and artistic elegance. He had a special affinity for birds, often painting them in lifelike poses amidst lush foliage and delicate compositions. His work bridged the gap between natural history illustration and fine art, attracting collectors who admired both his technical accuracy and his aesthetic sensibility.
Although not widely known today, Raven exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy from 1821 to 1845 and was respected among his contemporaries. His paintings are occasionally found in regional museums and private collections, prized for their quiet beauty and attention to detail.
Raven passed away in London in 1847, leaving behind a modest but refined legacy in the English still-life tradition.

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.
John Emms was a British artist best known for his dynamic and characterful paintings of dogs, especially working breeds like foxhounds, terriers, and collies. Born in Blofield, Norfolk, in 1843, Emms developed a deep connection to the countryside and rural life, which became the heart of his artistic inspiration.
While he painted horses and hunting scenes, it was his dog portraits that brought him enduring recognition. Emms had a remarkable ability to capture the individuality and spirit of each animal, portraying them not just as pets or working animals, but as noble and expressive beings. His brushwork was confident and lively, and he often painted dogs with a sense of pride, intelligence, and dignity.
Among the many breeds he painted, collies held a special place. Emms portrayed them with great sensitivity, often emphasizing their alert expressions, soft coats, and loyal nature. His collie paintings...
