Henry Wyatt
Fine Pair Original Georgian Portrait Oil Paintings Husband & Wife

c. 1827

About the Item

Very fine and rare pair of Georgian portrait paintings, depicting a husband and wife couple - "Mr. and Mrs L'Estrange Southgate Austin". The paintings - a perfect pairing - are by the well listed and highly regarded Georgian painter, Henry Wyatt (1794-1840), with one being signed and dated 1827. The artist entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1812 and studied under the care of Sir Thomas Lawrence n 1815. It is easy to see the influence of the master within Wyatt's work. Lawrence thought highly of Wyatt and he went onto exhibit extensively over the next 20 years. Each painting is extensively described verso with biographical details of the respective sitters. The paintings have come to us from a private collection in England, where they have hung for many years. Prior to that, the works have Christies provenance, bearing their stencil marks stamped verso. Each painting (the actual painting) measures 12 x 9.5 inches). We can ship these works safely worldwide.

  • Sagres II Ship Portrait 20th Century, signed oil painting
    By Louis Letouche
    Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    Sagres II, 1937 by Louis Letouche (French 1924-2015) oil painting on linen canvas, stretched over board framed Framed size: 18.25 x 13.75 inches Superb oil painting by the well listed French marine artist Louis Letouche (1924-2015). The painting portrays a Portugese Ship from the early 20th Century, titled: Sagres II. The three-masted ship was launched under the name Albert Leo Schlageter on 30 October 1937 at Blohm & Voss in Hamburg for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. The ship was named after Albert Leo Schlageter, who was executed in 1923 by French forces occupying the Ruhr area. Her first commander was Bernhard Rogge. Sagres is a sister ship of the Gorch Fock, the Horst Wessel, and the Romanian training vessel Mircea. Another sister, Herbert Norkus, was not completed, while Gorch Fock II was built in 1958 by the Germans to replace the ships lost after the war. Following a number of international training voyages, the ship was used as a stationary office ship after the outbreak of World War II and was only put into ocean-going service again in 1944 in the Baltic Sea. On 14 November 1944 she hit a Soviet mine off Sassnitz and had to be towed to port in Swinemünde. Eventually transferred to Flensburg, she was taken over there by the Allies when the war ended and finally confiscated by the United States. In 1948, the U.S. sold her to Brazil for a symbolic price of $5,000 USD.She was towed to Rio de Janeiro where she sailed as a school ship for the Brazilian Navy under the name Guanabara. In 1961, Ambassador Teotónio Pereira of Portugal, who was also a man of the sea...
