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.
Walter Armiger Bowring (1874–1931) was a prominent New Zealand-born artist best known for his portraiture, landscapes, and political cartoons, blending technical skill with a keen sense of character and narrative. Born in Auckland, Bowring trained in both New Zealand and London, studying at the Slade School of Fine Art, where he refined his classical technique and developed a strong foundation in academic painting.
Bowring gained early recognition for his satirical cartoons in The New Zealand Observer, where his wit and sharp eye for social commentary brought him to public attention. However, it was in portraiture that he truly excelled. His sitters included politicians, judges, academics, and fellow artists, and his portraits are noted for their psychological depth and subtle realism.
In 1925, Bowring became one of the first official war artists for New Zealand, capturing scenes from World War I and producing portraits of soldiers and military leaders. His work helped to humanize the war experience and remains a valuable part of New Zealand's visual heritage.
Returning to New Zealand after time abroad, Bowring continued to exhibit widely and contribute to the country’s growing cultural identity. He died in Wellington in 1931, leaving behind a legacy as one of the leading New Zealand artists of his generation.
