About the Item

Albert Eugène LECHAT (Lille 1863 – Berck sur Mer 1918) The crier's shop in Arras Watercolour, pencil and gouache highlights H. 22 cm; W. 27.5 cm Signed lower right. Exhibition labels on the back. Original hammered and embossed copper frame Exhibitions: - Tourcoing, Palais des Beaux-Arts, date unknown - Galerie Georges Petit, 26 April to 10 May 1907, no. 67, titled "The second-hand dealer's shop" Albert Lechat, a painter from the north of France, mainly depicted the landscapes of his region and the towns he passed through. In this way, we find views of Montreuil-sur-Mer, seascapes, views of Berck and of course Arras like our work. The technique of gouache watercolor, very pure and which preserves all its light over time, allows our small work to immerse us in the beginning of the 20th century. This shop is that of a second-hand dealer and auctioneer in the city of Arras. Through the window can be seen clocks, candelabras, and other old objects. The gouache is preserved in its original frame in copper, embossed, hammered, typical of the Art Nouveau period and in perfect condition.

Townscape oil painting of Semur, France
By Letitia Marion Hamilton
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Letitia Marion Hamilton Irish, (1878-1964) Gateway, Semur Oil on canvas, signed, inscribed on verso 'Gateway, Semur by Letitia Marion Hamilton of Fonthill Palmerstown, Dublin’ Image size: 24 inches x 20 inches Size including frame: 33 inches x 29 inches A lovely painting of the town of Semur-en-Auxois, France by Letitia Marion Hamilton. The work with its airy lightness shows figures outside a grocers shop next to the Guillier Gate showing a glimpse of the central square of the famous medieval town. The use of white pigment in her colours applied in a thick impasto was a trademark of her work. Letitia Marion Hamilton was born in Dunboyne, County Meath on 30 July, 1878, the daughter of Charles Hamilton and Louisa Brooke. She came from a family of famous Irish women artists: her great-grandmother was Caroline Hamilton (1771-1861), her elder sister Eva Hamilton (1876-1960) was also a talented painter, and her cousin Rose Maynard Barton (1856-1929) was a townscape and watercolour artist. The family lived at Hamwood, Dunboyne, Meath in Ireland. She trained at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin alongside her sister Eva under Sir William Orpen (1878-1939) before attending the Slade School of Art where she was taught by Sir Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956). She made her debut at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1909 where she continued to exhibit regularly. In 1912, she was awarded a silver medal by the Dublin school and received another from the Board of Education National Competition. After the death of her father in 1913, she and her family moved to 40 Lower Dominick Street in Dublin, later living at Monasterevin, in Co. Kildare. By 1920, they had relocated to Font Hill in Palmerstown, Dublin. In the same year, Hamilton formed the Society of Dublin Painters together with Paul Henry, his wife Emily Grace Mitchell...
