About the Item

‘A Breeze after a Bathe’ by Walter Duncan ARWS (1847-1932). The painting – which depicts three young Victorian ladies and their dogs on Bournemouth beach after a swim – is signed by the artist and dated 1872. In October of that year the engraving of the painting (with the omission of the dogs) appeared in The Illustrated London News. Walter Duncan studied under his father, the eminent watercolourist Edward Duncan (1803-1882), and at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London before entering the Royal Academy Schools. For many years Duncan was one of the leading artists working for The Illustrated London News; the world’s first illustrated newspaper and the most popular weekly publication in Victorian Britain. Between 1869 and 1893 Walter Duncan exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Grosvenor Gallery, the New Gallery, and the Royal Watercolour Society. Today his work is held in various international galleries and museums, and in the Royal Collection of King Charles III. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1874.

Fabbriche di Careggine - Mid 19th Century Oil Painting of Tuscany Hills Italy
By Edmund John Niemann
Located in Gerrards Cross, GB
‘Fabbriche di Careggine’ by Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876). Fabbriche di Careggine is the name of a Italian ghost village that today lies beneath Vagli di Sotto, a man-made lake in Tuscany. Prior to its flooding in 1953 the village was home to a community of subsistence farmers who raised sheep and Garfagnana goats. The painting depicts one of these goatherds and a young woman riding out from the village at sunrise. It is not uncommon for paintings by one member of famous family of artists to be mistakenly attributed to a relative; a picture by “the Elder” is erroneously credited as being by “the Younger” and the work of one brother is confused with another, and so on. In 19th century British art...
