George Paice
George Paice (1854–1925) was an accomplished English artist celebrated for his exquisite equestrian and animal paintings. Born in Pimlico, London, Paice demonstrated an early affinity for art and attended prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, where he honed his technical skills and refined his distinctive style. Paice specialized in painting horses, dogs, and other animals, often commissioned by wealthy patrons, landowners, and aristocrats to immortalize their prized animals on canvas. His works are characterized by their lifelike detail, elegant composition, and an ability to capture the personality and vitality of his subjects. Paice's mastery of texture and anatomy enabled him to produce vivid and emotive representations of animals, making his portraits cherished heirlooms. While his primary focus was on animals, Paice also painted rural landscapes and hunting scenes, offering glimpses into the pastoral life of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. His art was admired for its traditional aesthetic and timeless appeal, standing apart from the emerging modernist movements of his time. Paice's paintings remain highly sought after by collectors and are frequently found in country houses, galleries, and private collections. His work preserves a legacy of Britain's equestrian culture and rural heritage, continuing to resonate with audiences who appreciate classic animal portraiture.

A Bouquet of Flowers & A Fine Vintage
Oil on canvas, pair, both signed
Image size: 12 inches x 9.75 inches (each)
Size including frame: 16.75 inches x 14.5 inches (each)
A delightful pair of three quarter length portraits of Italian women by Federico Andreotti. The first work shows a young woman in fine clothing with a basket of flowers in her hands. The second painting depicts a traditionally dressed woman holding a Chianti Fiasco and other wine bottles.
Federico or Federigo Andreotti was a genre and figure painter born in Florence on 6 March, 1847. He showed artistic talent from an early age and at 9 years old began receiving art lessons from the miniature painter Angiolo Tricca (1817-1884). At the age of 17, he attended the Art Academy in Florence where he studied under Enrico Pollastrini (1817-1876), the President of the Academy. Whilst there he won a competition and made a name for himself by producing amusing genre scenes and costume studies. His success attracted the patronage of wealthy and notable clients including the King of Italy who commissioned him to paint a large historical painting of Savonarola. As well as working as an artist, he also taught art at the Florentine Academy where he was made Professor in 1879.
During the same year, he began exhibiting abroad and made his debut at the Royal Academy in London, where he continued to show his works until 1883. He is believed to have spent time in England around this period where he also exhibited at other galleries including the Royal Manchester Institution, United Galleries, Arthur Tooth & Sons and Thomas Richardson & co.
He spent most of his life in Florence where he died on 30 October, 1930. His painting of Savonarola is held by the Italian government. Other examples of his work can be found in a number of UK public art collections including the Blackburn Museum, Fylde Town Hall, Glasgow Museum, Hawarth Art Gallery and Towneley Hall Art Museum.
Presentation: The paintings are housed in new, English made gilt frames which are in excellent condition.
