A finely painted genre scene of a man and a woman with a greyhound by George Goodwin Kilburne. A man and a woman dressed in 18th century costume are depicted taking tea in the drawing room of a fine house. The woman, who is sitting at a table set for tea, can be seen having turned towards a greyhound to feed the dog a treat. The man is shown standing by the fireplace, watching on with a tea cup in his hand. During the 18th century, tea was expensive and could only be afforded by the wealthy, giving rise to the British tea ceremony. During the ceremony, which allowed a host to display their wealth and command of etiquette, the tea was usually prepared by the lady of the house with a tea service of porcelain and silverware.
George Goodwin Kilburne was a genre painter both in oil and watercolour and engraver who was born in Reepham, Norfolk on 24 July, 1839 to Goodwin Kilburne and Rebecca Button. His father was a school master and by 1844 had moved the family from Norfolk to Kent, where he ran a private school in Hawkhurst. Kilburne was educated at the school and after leaving went on to serve a 5 year apprenticeship to London engravers and illustrators the Dalziel Brothers, studying wood engraving. On 21 June, 1862 he married Janet Dalziel the daughter of Robert Dalziel and niece of his employer, George Dalziel. The couple lived at Hilldrop Road, Islington and together had 3 sons and 2 daughters. One of his sons, George Goodwin Jnr (1863-1938) also became an artist.
By 1862, he had started turning from engraving to painting, quickly establishing himself as the leading painter of female beauties usually set against richly decorated interiors or in natural romantic backgrounds. He began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1862 and at the Royal Academy from 1863. He also exhibited at the New Watercolour Society, becoming a member in 1866 and at the Grosvenor Gallery. He enjoyed considerable success and around 1875, moved to Hawkhurst House, Steele’s Road in Hampstead where he lived for over 35 years.
His first wife died in 1882 and on 27 July, 1899 he married for the second time to Edith Golightly with whom he had 2 daughters. By 1915, he had moved to 16 Albion Road in Swiss Cottage where he spent the rest of his life. He died at his daughter’s residence, 38 Steele’s Road, Hampstead, on 21 June, 1924 and was buried at Highgate Cemetery.
Examples of his work can be found in many public and private collections including Horsham Museum, Manchester Art Gallery, National Trust, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
Presentation: The work is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears a label for the Horner Galleries, a fine art gallery founded in Sheffield in 1886 by F J Horner. It was originally based at 19 Angel Street until 1911 when it moved to 17 King Street. In 1925 it relocated to The Cathedral Corner, 2, Church Street, where it operated until its closure in 1939. The painting also retains a label for Colmore Galleries, a fine art dealership, framers and restorers based at 52 High Street, Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire. It was established in 1973 and continued until the early 2000’s.

George Goodwin Kilburne
Kilburne was born in Hackford, near Reepham, Norfolk and was educated at Hawkhurst, Kent. At the age of 15 he went to London to serve a five-year apprenticeship as a wood engraver with the Dalziel brothers. He remained with the firm for a further year before leaving to take up watercolour and oil painting professionally, quickly becoming a highly successful and busy artist. His paintings often portrayed fashionably dressed figure groups, sometimes in Regency costume. The themes included musical gatherings, social events and sporting occasions. He also designed and executed a great number of greetings and Christmas cards for the firms of Raphael Tuck & Sons and de la Rue. He contributed a large number of black and white pictures to The Graphic, The Illustrated London News and Cassell’s Magazine. For much of his working life Kilburne lived in fashionable Hampstead, north London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, Grosvenor Gallery and elsewhere and was a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours, Royal Miniature Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Works by him are in the collections of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Manchester City Art Gallery and Sheffield Art Gallery. His eldest son, George Goodwin Kilburne Jnr, also became a very successful artist.

Young Man with Two Dogs in a Landscape - British Edwardian art oil painting
Located in London, GB
This superb British Edwardian figurative landscape oil painting is by noted animal artist Edwin Noble. Painted in 1904 it is a large and detailed painting of a young man, kneeling in a grassy thicket with his two dogs, a lurcher and terrier. He is restraining the dogs whilst his ferret goes down a rabbit hole in the hedgerow. Two dead rabbits are already lying on the grass beside them. Beyond is a county landscape of fields and trees. The young man in his stripped shirt and waistcoat and the two white dogs really stand out in the mass of greenery around them as do the white wild flowers at their feet. The detail and brushwork are superb. This is an excellent example of Edwin Noble's work as an animal painter in the Edwardian period and also depicts country pursuits.
