About the Item

This atmospheric watercolour by Frank Walton, dated 1867 and signed lower left, reflects the artist’s technical skill and sensitivity in capturing the British countryside. Depicting a rural sandy path winding through dense woodland, the composition is subtly animated by a cart and horse, adding a quiet narrative to the scene. Sunlight filters gently through the foliage, resulting in a warm and diffuse light effect. Walton’s brushwork is transparent and controlled, typical of his style. The diagonal composition creates a natural visual rhythm and enhances spatial depth. The tranquil mood makes the painting appealing for both collectors and decorative interior settings. The original 19th-century gilded frame in a modest classical style complements the artwork beautifully and enhances the warm tones of the watercolour. This work is a fine example of Walton’s mastery of light and atmosphere — a timeless and quietly powerful landscape.

Oil on canvas : Cattle near the cliffs of Herne Bay KENT by Thomas Syndey Cooper
By Thomas Sidney Cooper
Located in Gent, VOV
Thomas Sidney Cooper was one of the foremost animal painters of the Victorian period. He was born in Canterbury, Kent, and as a small child he began to show strong artistic inclinations, but the circumstances of his family did not allow him to receive any systematic training. By the time he was twelve years old, he was working in the shop of a coach painter. Later he obtained a job as a scene painter, and he alternated between these two occupations for about eight years. He still felt a strong desire to become an artist, and all his spare moments were spent drawing and painting from nature. At the age of twenty, he went to London, drew for a while in the British Museum, and was admitted as a student of the Royal Academy. Subsequently, he returned to Canterbury, where he was able to earn a living as a drawing master and by the sale of sketches and drawings. In 1827, he settled in Brussels and married before taking up a position as a teacher in Brussels in 1829. There he befriended Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven, the great Belgian animal painter, who greatly influenced his style. He was also influenced by the 17th Century Dutch School. Because of the Belgian Revolution, he returned to London where he settled and first exhibited at Suffolk Street in 1833. He exhibited forty-eight pictures at the British Institution between 1833 and 1863. ‘Landscape and Cattle’, Royal Academy 1833, was shown until 1902 without a break - a record for a continuous exhibit at the Royal Academy. Sheep and cattle were his most frequent subjects, although he did paint a few figurative subjects. Cooper collaborated between 1847 and 1870 with Frederick Richard Lee...
