About the Item

‘An Undershot Mill, North Wales’ by William E. Harris (1854-1934). The painting is signed by the artist and presented in a newly commissioned bespoke gold metal leaf frame. A native of Warwickshire, William Elias Harris specialised in landscapes of the Midlands of England, North Wales, and the River Thames, especially around Windsor. Harris first exhibited with the Birmingham Society of Artists from 1879 and went on to show at many of the principle British venues including the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Glasgow Institute, Royal Hibernian Society, and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. William Harris enjoyed most success throughout the 1880s and 1890s when his work was sold by the dealer Martin Colnaghi at the Marlborough Gallery in Pall Mall, London.

Fabbriche di Careggine - Mid 19th Century Oil Painting of Tuscany Hills Italy
By Edmund John Niemann
Located in Gerrards Cross, GB
‘Fabbriche di Careggine’ by Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876). Fabbriche di Careggine is the name of a Italian ghost village that today lies beneath Vagli di Sotto, a man-made lake in Tuscany. Prior to its flooding in 1953 the village was home to a community of subsistence farmers who raised sheep and Garfagnana goats. The painting depicts one of these goatherds and a young woman riding out from the village at sunrise. It is not uncommon for paintings by one member of famous family of artists to be mistakenly attributed to a relative; a picture by “the Elder” is erroneously credited as being by “the Younger” and the work of one brother is confused with another, and so on. In 19th century British art...
