About the Item

Georgina Lara British, (fl. 1862-1871) Bustling Village Life Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 19.5 inches x 29.5 inches Size including frame: 25.5 inches x 35.5 inches A charming village scene with figures, horses and other animals congregating around a village square. To the far left, a hay cart is being unloaded as children play marbles in the foreground. Meanwhile, figures on horseback wait their turn by a horse trough in front of villagers sat at a table. To the right, a wagon and horses are shown entering the village passing a group of figures and horses outside a thatched cottage. To the far right, an elderly couple sit on a log watching on as children buy apples from a seller. Georgina Lara also known as Edwina Lara was a London painter of rustic farmyard and village scenes. Her work also closely resembles that of Edward Masters who also went by the name of William Masters. They are believed by many to be one in the same. However, there is evidence to suggest Lara was the pseudonym of Georgiana Laura Rogers who was related to the artists William Paul Lara (1827-1898) and Ernest William Lara (1858-1943). Georgiana Laura Rogers was born in London on 17 July, 1828 and was the daughter of the artist William Paul Rogers (1801-1875) and sister of William Paul Lara (Rogers). She was listed as an artist in the 1851 census and at the time lived on Acton Street, St Pancras. In 1859, she married John Alexander McIntosh, a photographic artist. In the 1871 census she was recorded as living at 13 Chalk Farm Road, from where her husband ran a photographic studio. This was the same exhibition address listed as Lara’s from 1868. Her husband’s next business address was listed as 2 Prospect Terrace, which was also the last exhibition address for Lara. After her death in 1871, her brother William Paul Rogers changed his surname to Lara which may or may not have been related. Lara made her debut at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1862, continuing to exhibit there until 1871. She also exhibited at the British Institution from 1863. Her exhibition addresses included 24, George Street, Euston Square, 32 Carlton Road Villas, Kentish Town, 13 Chalk Farm Road and 2 Prospect Terrace, Upper Holloway. Her paintings are full of charm, often containing groups of small figures and detailed buildings. Many of her works are also centred around villages or hamlets such as this lovely example. Examples of her work are held by the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum. Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having just been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished. © Benton Fine Art

19th century landscape oil painting of a village tavern
By John Holland Senior
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
John Holland Snr British, (1830-1886) The Malt Shovel Tavern Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 13 inches x 20.5 inches Size including frame: 18.25 inches x 25.75 inches Provenance: Frost & Reed A wonderful painting of figures sat outside a village inn by John Holland Senior. A wagon is shown delivering supplies as another cart drives off towards a windmill in the distance. In the foreground two people cut a log in half whilst their family looks on. The Malt Shovel Inn was most likely the one at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire. Over 500 years old, it was located on Malt Shovel Lane, and was originally a bakery, becoming an inn sometime during the mid 1700’s. It remained as a pub until its closure in 2016. The windmill in the distance was situated outside Lambourn on the road to Baydon. It was built in 1771 but was demolished around 1887 and is now the site of a farm. John Holland Senior was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes who was born in Nottingham around 1830. He was the son of a painter and brother to Samuel Holland also a painter and sign writer. He was also uncle to his namesake John Holland (1857-1920) whom he taught to work in charcoal and Samuel S. Holland, both of whom were artists. By 1861, he had become a full time artist exhibiting at Suffolk Street from around this time until 1879, at the British Institution between 1865-1866 as well as exhibiting locally in Nottingham. He never married and lived for many years with his father, brother and his family at Vernon Street, Nottingham. Around 1867, he moved to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire where he exhibited locally. He would also often travel around the British countryside and coast to paint. He spent a few years in West Yorkshire but by 1871 had moved back to live with his family in Nottingham. However, he spent his final years living at Trebray Lodge, Tintagel, Cornwall where he died on 7 February 1886. A number of his works are held by the Buxton Museum, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Nottingham Art Gallery and the Williamson Art Gallery. Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears an old label for Frost & Reed. Frost & Reed are a well-known fine Art Gallery, frame maker and fine art publisher founded in Bristol in 1808 by William Hill. The business was bought by John Frost in 1859 who ran it until his death in 1875. His nephew Walter Frost took over the business and in 1881 brought in William Reed...
