About the Item
English School Mid 19th Century Watercolour
The Shooting Party
unsigned but usefully inscribed verso, by the artist
watercolour painting
on stiff paper, unframed
sheet: 7.2 x 10 inches
From time to time a truly delightful little work of art falls into your hands which suddenly produces the story of the figures depicted within it.
The image is of two English gentleman shooting on the edge of a traditional English village, their wives walking on ahead, under parasols. On the back it is inscribed in ink: watercolour of Hilston near Withernsea by Joseph Strapps. It also reads: Mrs Hutchinson, Mrs Strapps, Mr Hutchinson on horseback, Mr J Strapps shooting.
So whilst this is unsigned to the front, we do get rather a lot of information. We have spent a little time researching the key figure, Joseph Strapps.
First of all, Hilston and Withernsea are five miles apart on the north eastern English Coast, close to Hull. Joseph Strapps was born in 1819, son of Samuel and Ann. Joseph married Elizabeth Bradley in January 1847 in Hull. He was a pawnbroker, and his death is recorded in June 1876 (again, in Hull). As the notes on the back of this little painting refer to Mrs Strapps, his wife, then we can quite safely date this between 1847 (when they married) and 1876 (when he died).
This also provides a historical document about the village church as the current church today in Hilston was only built in the 1950's, replacing a church which was demolished by a World War II bomb in 1941. That church which had been struck by the bomb was only built in 1862, it replaced the original 12th century church on the site.
condition report:
sheet bears no tears or folds. The sky area, mainly upper right hand corner of the painting, bears pale foxing marks, you may be able to see these in the photos close to the church spire.

Claude Hayes was a Dublin born painter who to avoid his father's wish to make a businessman of him ran away to sea and served on the Golden Fleece, one of the transports used in the Abyssinian expedition of 1867-68, and also spent a year in the United States. Returning to London, he studied art at Heatherley's and the Royal Academy Schools, and then in Antwerp, under Charles Verlat. He worked in Hampshire with James Aumonier and also in Surrey with William Charles Estall, whose sister he married.
Hayes exhibited widely in London and provincial centres, and was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1886, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1883, and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, 1902. He also showed at the RA, RBSA, Brook Street Art Gallery, Dudley Gallery, FAS, GI, Grosvenor Gallery, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, MAFA, RBA, RHA, Ridley Art Club, RSW and Walker's Gallery, London. In 1912, Claude Hayes represented England at the Venice Biennale. His work is in various public collections in England and Ireland including the Ulster Museum, Museums Sheffield, Torre Abbey Museum and the Leeds City Art Gallery. His father was the artist Edwin Hayes.
