Robert Gallon
British, (1845-1925)
An Old Surrey Farm
Oil on canvas, signed & inscribed verso
Image size: 17.5 inches x 27.5 inches
Size including frame: 23.5 inches x 33.5 inches
A picturesque landscape painting depicting a family outside a Surrey farm by Robert Gallon. A woman and her children can be seen on the steps outside a cottage as a farmer and another figure herd the cattle into a barn.
Robert Gallon was a landscape painter born in Deptford, Kent in 1845 to the artist Robert Samuel Ennis Gallon (1807-1867) and his wife Cecilia Ann Russell. He lived with his family at Evelyn Place in Deptford. He was most likely tutored by his father; however, his subject matter was inspired by artists such as Benjamin Williams Leader and George Vicat Cole.
Gallon began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1868 and in 1873 made his debut at Royal Academy from an address at 12, Tavistock Row, Covent Garden. He was a regular contributor to both galleries, continuing to exhibit at the RSBA until 1893 and at the RA until 1903. He also exhibited at some of the smaller establishments including the Hampstead Art Society, Mendoza Gallery and St James’s Gallery as well as at provincial galleries.
By 1876, he had moved to 28 Alma Square in St John’s Wood. He married Catherine Elizabeth Atkinson on 18 July, 1877 and together they had 3 children. By 1883, he had moved with his growing family to 32 Alma Square where he lived for the rest of his life. Although he lived in London, he often travelled across the British Isles painting scenes of England, Wales and Scotland even visiting the Orkneys. He always painted outdoors and his naturalistic style has an immediacy which comes from being executed entirely on the spot.
Gallon died on 25 November, 1925 at St George’s Hospital Mayfair. His paintings can be found in a number of museums including the Beecroft Art Gallery, Chertsey Museum, Lancaster Maritime Museum, National Library of Wales, Nuneaton Museum, Orkney Museum, Sunderland Museum and Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
Presentation: The work is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The painting bears an inscription to the reverse with a number above it, indicating this was most likely exhibited at a gallery.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

- 19th Century seascape oil painting of Penzance harbour, CornwallBy William Edward WebbLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Edward Webb British, (1862-1903) Penzance Harbour Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 29 inches x 45.5 inches Size including frame: 38 inches x 54.5 inches A pleasing coastal painting of Penzance Harbour at low tide by William Edward Webb. In the foreground, a fisherman sells his catch to a woman and her daughter, whilst figures in horses and carts wait for others to unload their boats. William Edward Webb was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1862 to William Benjamin Webb and Ellen Butler. His father was a printer and an artist and it is highly likely he received tuition from him. Following the death of his mother, his father remarried and moved the family to Manchester sometime after 1871. By the 1880’s, Webb had started working as an artist and later set up a studio at 30 Exchange Buildings in Manchester. He began exhibiting at the Manchester City Art Gallery from 1890, where he showed more than 60 paintings during his lifetime. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy and Walker Art Gallery Liverpool from 1892. He married Clara Foster in 1899 and the couple lived at 1 Sylvan Grove, Chorlton Upon Medlock in South Manchester with their daughter Florrie. He became friends with the artist Walter Emsley (1860-1938) who also lived in Manchester. Although he spent the rest of his life in Manchester, Webb travelled throughout the UK painting coastal and marine scenes around the main ports and harbours. He spent a great deal of time in the Isle of Mann painting numerous scenes along the coast including views of Peel and Douglas Harbour, subjects he frequently returned to. Webb painted in a highly distinctive style; loose and informal but which manages to retain the sense of perspective. He struggled with ill health and depression throughout his life which sadly led to his suicide 9 November, 1903. In 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at The Old Customs House and Old Solent House in Lymington, which brought a new found interest in his work. His paintings are now highly sought after and are represented in many collections and Museums including the Astley Hall...Category
