About the Item
Atmospheric and dramatic seascape painted by two sisters from the famed Nasmyth family of 18th/19th century Scottish artists. The names of A G Nasmyth (Anne Gibson) and Jane Nasmyth are carved on the back stretcher bar. The two sisters were known to work together on occasion, and this work is an important example. Influences by JMW Turner are evident in the mist and cloud of sea with barely visible sails in the distance. Emotive and passionate, this is a rare painting for the traditional landscapes of the time.
The sisters capture drama with light and brushstrokes of red and white against the grey and blue grey scene. Figures with red hats and white and golden brown clothing are on the shore and boat. White cliff, a white sail and white waves capture the light through a break in the clouded skies.
Anne and Jane Nasmyth were daughters of one of the earliest Scottish landscape artists, Alexander Nasmyth (1758-1840). They had three siblings, all successful artists. The eldest, Patrick Nasmyth was best known for his work influenced by Dutch masters. James and Charlotte were also landscape artists.
In this painting the romantic influence of JMW Turner’s works of fishermen, seas and atmospheric skies especially in maritime scenes from 1796 to 1803, is evident. Small figures against the wider scene appear with touches of red. White crests of waves, a sail, are almost iridescent in the dimming light.
The initials AG (in the style of the period) and NASMYTH are carved into the back upper left wooden stretcher bar. To the right is NASMYTH what appears to be a date, and JANE.
This a highly unusual work by two collaborating Nasmyth sisters, after one of the most important British artists.
In overall very good condition with only light craquelure visible in the sky on close inspection.

Kirkton Bridge, Balquhidder
By JD Henderson
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Impressionist/Post impressionist style painting 'Kirkton Bridge, Balquhidder' by Scottish contemporary artist JD Henderson, is a Monet-like image of a Scottish bridge in Balquhidder, the Clan homeland of McLaren in central Scotland. Dated 1995 (verso) and signed by the artist in the lower right corner, the painting is on canvas with oil paint in a new gold frame. JD Henderson is described as a 20th century Scottish Colourist and a landscape artist, using impressionism and post impressionism styles. 'Kirkton Bridge' demonstrates the Colourist trend, but also broader brushstrokes and thick applications of paint from post impressionism that gives the subject matter priority over fleeting naturalistic color and light. The actual bridge and water...
