Portrait of Two Sisters in a Landscape - British 19th century art oil painting
By Margaret Sarah Carpenter
Located in Hagley, England
British female artist, attributed to Margaret Sarah Carpenter, nee Geddes, painted this lovely 19th century portrait oil painting. Painted circa 1840 it is a three quarter length portrait of a two sisters in a landscape. The colours are still vibrant and the detail lovely. Carpenter mostly painted portraits in the manner of Thomas Lawrence and his influence can be seen here in the composition and detail. A lovely Victorian portrait oil painting by a female artist who was much sought after as a portraitist in London and she was also a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy. When purchased this painting was of a single sitter. However when this stunning painting was professionally cleaned it revealed the second younger sister.

Chasse à Courre Carle Vernet (1758/1836) Entourage
Located in GOUVIEUX, FR
Scène de chasse dans un paysage boisé
Entourage de Carle Vernet (1758–1836)
Huile sur panneau, 24,5 x 32,5 cm
Charmante scène animée dans un paysage de sous-bois baigné d’une lumière dorée, cette composition illustre l’influence de Carle Vernet dans le genre du tableau de chasse et du paysage animé. On y retrouve l’élégance narrative propre à l’artiste et à son cercle, avec un sens aigu de la composition et du mouvement.
Les cavaliers, les chiens, les chasseurs et les promeneurs, répartis avec naturel sur un chemin bordé d’arbres majestueux, apportent vie et profondeur à ce petit format. L’atmosphère est paisible, tandis que le ciel lumineux et les ombres douces soulignent la qualité de l’exécution.
Ce tableau, par sa touche précise et son sens du détail, s’inscrit pleinement dans la tradition française du paysage néo-classique enrichi de scènes de genre...

Portrait of Herbert Fisher, Mid-19th Century Oil Painting, Original Watts Frame
Located in London, GB
Oil on canvas
c.1855 - 1860
Image size: 19 x 14 inches (48.25 x 37.25 cm)
Original Watts frame
The Sitter
Herbert William Fisher (1826 - 1903) was a British historian, best known for his 'Considerations on the Origin of the American War' (1865). Fisher was tutor to the future King Edward VII, and served as Private Secretary to the 5th Duke of Newcastle. in 1863 he became Private Secretary to the Prince of Wales, his former pupil, before being appointed to the position of Vice-Warden of the Stannaries in 1870. One of his daughters, Adeline, married Ralph Vaughan Williams.
George Frederick Watts
Watts (1817 - 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. He is known to have said 'I paint ideas, not things'. Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as 'Hope' and 'Love and Life' in which the emotions and aspiration life were intended to be represented in a universal symbolic language.
Watts was born in Marylebone in central London on the birthday of George Frederic Handel (after whom he was named), to the second wife of a poor piano-maker. He showed artistic promise very early, learning sculpture from the age of 10 with William Behnes, starting to study devotedly the Elgin Marbles (later writing "It was from them alone that I learned") and then enrolling as a student at the Royal Academy Schools at the age of 18.
He first exhibited at the Academy in 1837, with a picture of "The Wounded Heron" and two portraits, but his attendance at the Academy was short-lived, and his further art education was confined to personal experiment and endeavour, guided by a constant appeal to the standard of ancient Greek sculpture. He also began his portraiture career, receiving patronage from his close contemporary Alexander Constantine Ionides, who later came to be a close friend. In 1849 the first two of the allegorical compositions which form the most characteristic of the artist's productions were exhibited—"Life's Illusions," an elaborate presentment of the vanity of human desires, and "The people that sat in darkness," turning eagerly towards the growing dawn. In 1850 he first gave public expression to his intense longing to improve the condition of humanity in the picture of "The Good Samaritan" bending over the wounded traveller; this, as recorded in the catalogue of the Royal Academy, was "painted as an expression of the artist's admiration and respect for the noble philanthropy of Thomas Wright, of Manchester," and to that city he presented the work. From the late 1840s onward he painted many portraits in France and England, some of which are described below. Notable pictures of the same period are “Sir Galahad...

Following his father's death in December, 1836, he received a substantial inheritance which allowed him to continue his studies. After completing his studies, he travelled to Morocco, Algiers and other destinations in the Middle East where he kept a sketchbook (now in the New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana) and developed an interest in Oriental subject matter. Although he was largely trained in Europe, he settled in Louisiana, becoming part of the "Bayou School".He regularly painted with William Buck...
