About the Item
19th century English/British cottage landscape with mother and child feeding the chickens.
Walter E. Ellis, was born and christened Erasmus Walter Ellis, although he must have preferred Walter to Erasmus, as he signed his paintings Walter E. Ellis, as on this painting, or W. E. Ellis.
Erasmus Walter Ellis was born in Birmingham in 1848, the son of William Ellis, also a painter, who exhibited two landscapes at Suffolk Street in 1863 and 1864 (Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Wood). There is scant information about his life, but he married three times, in 1879 to Sarah Elizabeth Spiers, who died in 1891, in 1893 to another lady whose name was either Rosina Rose or Mary Hancox, and again in 1909, at the age of 61 to Margaret Jane Augusta Ledsham, who was only 39! At this time he was living at 154 Willes Road Birmingham and had lived in the Birmingham area for all his life, where he also died in 1918 at the age of 69.
He painted mostly Welsh scenes, primarily in oils, but there are a few watercolors and some views of the Birmingham area and the Lake District. Most of his oils are relatively small in size, but there are a few 30" x 20".
He is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists as having exhibited between 1882 and 1894, from 10 Villa Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, 20 paintings at the Royal Society of Artists Birmingham, 1 at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, and 1 at the Royal Hibernian Academy.
This piece is an oil on canvas that has been laid down onto a panel of wood.
It is framed in an Antique English frame which might be the original to the painting.

- Antique Scottish Highland Loch landscape, with sunlit streaming onto the waterBy Francis E. JamiesonLocated in Woodbury, CTFrancis Jamieson was a painter in oil and watercolor of highland landscapes and coastal scenes. (The work of this highly prolific artist is curious since the oils and watercolors have two quite distinctive styles and subject matter. The oil paintings are most frequently seen and these are highland landscapes or loch scenes - sometimes they appear to be signed with pseudonyms such as 'W. Richards' and 'Phil Hips' - the location is usually inscribed on the reverse. The watercolors are often coastal scenes with boats and figures on a shore, painted in a more traditional Victorian style, and possibly pre-date the oils. F. E. Jamiesons's beach scenes were published as postcards around 1920 by G. Ajelli & Co. of London on a textured card to give the appearance of oils. Jamieson is known to have traveled widely in the South of England between the wars selling his work but does not appear to have exhibited.) This quote in parentheses is taken from Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents - A Dictionary of Neglected Artists Working 1880-1950'. - Work by Francis Jamieson can be seen at the usual sites. Please note that on all these sites you will find F. E. Jamieson variously listed as Francis E. Jamieson, F.E.Jamieson, Frank E. Jamieson, Frederick E. Jamieson etc. You may also find some listings under his various pseudonyms of Arnould Pienne, Charles Maurice, Graham Williams...Category

- 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
