James Dobie (1849-1923) was an Edinburgh-born etcher. Details of any art education are not known but it is very unlikely that he was self-taught. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in London where he appears to have spent most of his adult life. Some authorities suggest he died in 1911. However, his last exhibit was at the RA in 1923. He married in Dalston, London in 1888 and the census of 1881 records him as a visitor in the house of Victor Gustave L'Huiller, (1844-1889) in Hastings, Sussex. In 1901, he was recorded as a Copperplate etcher and he made etchings of paintings by Frank Bramley, Frederick Hall, Walter Langley, Dendy Sadler, and others. An etching entitled 'Fishing Boats at Hastings' from 1882 is in the collection of Penlee House Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum and others are in the British Museum.

"Interior Scene" Dutch 19th century signed watercolor
By Herman ten Kate
Located in New York, NY
Herman Frederick Ten Kate
1822 - The Hague - 1891
Interior Scene
Watercolor on paper
9 1/4 x 13 1/4 inches (23.4 x 33.6 cm)
Framed: 17 x 21 ½ inches (43 x 54.6 cm)
Signed lower right
Provenance: Private Collection, USA
Herman Ten Kate spent most of his life in The Hague although he did occasionally travel to Amsterdam and Haarlem. He was a member of the Royal Academy in Amsterdam in 1847. He was a student of Cornelis Krusemans from 1837 to 1841. Ten Kate generally depicted friendly genre scenes as well as scenes with soldiers inspired by the 80 years war. His work is generally of watercolor and lithographs.
Our sheet offers a quiet scene in which two gentlemen are featured, each sporting the extravagant hats, vests and tall boots typical of the 19th century, inspired by the 17th century Guardroom scenes. One man rests against the back of a chair, his face marked with a serious expression, his left hand gesturing toward the other man seated at the table. The seated figure wears a rather bemused expression as he composes a letter, apparently taking delight in his endeavor. The two figures are surrounded by various objects cluttering the room, which Ten Kate employs for the specific means of compositional balance.
