This charming and distinguished looking couple still survive in the radiance of their youth captured for all time by the Plymouth portraitist W. Andresen. Although we know little about the artist, his skill is evident in the fine quality of these images. Captain Evelyn R. le Marchant, commander of his Britannic majesty's battleship `Nile', posed for this portrait in Plymouth, England in January 1906. His vessel, one of the earliest battleships to operate without sails, is shown anchored in the background. The following month his lovely wife Edith posed for her portrait. These two fine images show an interesting balance with the man of the sea in his element and his shoreside wife surrounded by her garden. Both paintings are very well done in watercolor with added body color, pencil, and charcoal. Their condition is outstanding and both are mounted in their original period frames with antique glass. Sight Size: 41 Inches x 29¾ Inches each. Each painting signed LR: W. Andresen, Plymouth Vallejo Gallery features the finest in marine and maritime antiques...

Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

This painting, ¨Serenidad¨, is reproduced on a double page in the article that the renowned art publication Prestige Magazine edited in 2003, where the cover is a female portrait by Ospina Ortiz. (number 63, 2003, pages 24-25). ABOUT THE ARTIST Juan Carlos Ospina Ortiz (Tolima-Colombia 1963) studied design and painting in Bogotá, which he later complemented with specializations in Paris and Madrid. He practices a realistic figurative style, where he alternates between portraits, still lifes, landscapes and horse paintings. In 1993 he visited Spain for the first time, being greatly influenced by two renowned contemporary painters: Antonio López and Eduardo Naranjo. His works, from those years on, would be strongly influenced by the vision he had of them. He obtained a scholarship to continue his training with the Colombian painter Guillermo Muñoz Vera...

Santi di Tito Ritratto di Nobildonna Olio su tavola, Sec. XVI, cm 74x61; con cornice 116x100x9 Con procedere degli studi su Santi di Tito, del quale è stata recentemente precisata la nascita fiorentina , si viene sempre più definendo come non solo una delle personalità più interessanti della scena artistica fiorentina, ma anche come il più interessante ritrattista cittadino della seconda metà del Cinquecento. L'attribuzione di questo ritratto al pittore, che nell'impresa dello Studiolo di Francesco I fu uno dei maggiori innovatori fra i giovani riuniti da Vasari e Borghini, appare subito evidente per l’inconfondibile disegno ovale e fermo del volto, reso con un incarnato compatto dai toni rosati che si accende di naturalistiche notazioni epidermiche ma anche di una puntuale figurazioni degli elmenti decorativi dell’abito e dell’acconciatura. Sempre coerente con i modi pittorici di Santi è poi la pittura compatta con la quale vengono definiti i piani semplificati del volto delle donna, che conservano una notazione di luce e di naturale sensibilità in linea con i dettami controriformati dei quali il pittore fu uno dei più fedeli osservanti nella scena fiorentina. Sempre tipica di Santi di Tito è poi la ferma e volumetrica rappresentazione del torso e dell’abito definito nei piccoli intagli della stoffa ma allo stesso tempo semplificato nei volumi delle maniche e del busto. Ancora di santi ci sembra la notazione luministica con la quale è rilevato il disegno dell’abito attraverso stesure compatte ma sottili e trasparenti, oppure è resa la gorgiera bianca che aggiunge una luce netta all’intero dipinto. Una simile scelta pittorica appare nel Ritratto di Guido Guardi coi figli, esposto alla mostra Il Cinquecento a Firenze, (Palazzo Strozzi, 21 settembre 2017 – 21 gennaio 2018, n. IV. 5, pp. 156-157), dove, pur in un ritratto maschile, Santi di Tito usa la medesima cifra formale nella resa dei volti e delle gorgiere. Pur nell'attenzione alle caratteristiche fisionomiche, Santi di Tito conserva, infatti, una cifra disegnativa sempre evidente e riconoscibile pur col passare degli anni, un carattere stilistico che sostiene, con volumi saldi, ogni sua differente prova pittorica. Ne sono un esempio dipinti quali il Ritratto di donna con Figlia, già in collezione Koelliker2, oppure il Ritratto di Lucrezia (Emilia) e Sinibaldo di Niccol Gaddi3, tutti databili agli anni settanta del Cinquecento proprio per la stereometrica definizione delle forma. Col passare degli anni, invece, tale carattere di ascendenza bronzinesca sembra cedere sempre più in favore di una pittura più morbida e sensibile, chiamata a raggiungere esiti di naturalezza sempre maggiore. Dipinto emblematico per seguire tale percorso rimane il già citato Ritratto di Guido Guardi con i figli , dove Santi di Tito ha effigiato il capofamiglia subito dopo il suo ritorno da Roma, fra il 1564 e il 1568, al tempo in cui il Guardi commission al pittore anche una pala con una Natività per la cappella di famiglia a San Giuseppe. L’uomo, seduto su uno scranno, sembra rimandare per la posa arcaizzante alla ritrattistica di primo Cinquecento, alla quale Santi di Tito s’ispira anche per le pieghe frante ma scultoree dell’abito. Sulla stessa tavola, probabilmente verso la fine degli anni settanta del Cinquecento, il pittore venne chiamato ad aggiungere le effigi di figli, quando probabilmente l’opera era già in cornice, e lo fece con una pittura più svolta e libera, in modo da raggiungere effetti naturalistici di maggiore sensibilità. Anche nel Ritratto di donna in esame, i volumi saldi e potenti della figura spiccano sul fondo monocromo della parete con un’evidenza che farebbe pensare alle figure eseguite dalla fine degli anni Settanta del Cinquecento, al pari, appunto dei due figli di Guido Guardi. Nato a Firenze nel 1536, Santi di Tito si form prima da Bastiano da Montecarlo per passare poi dal Bronzino, del quale conserv la preferenza per volumi luminosi e torniti, a cui aggiunse un'attenzione per la chiarezza compositiva e il naturalismo richiesti dai dettami della Controriforma, che lo portarono a guardare allo stile di Scipione Pulzone...

"Annie Gets Her Gun" by Deborah McKenna, original oil on canvas board, 30" x 20", 35" x 25" in a solid wood frame. Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey; August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) was an American sharpshooter who starred in Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Oakley developed hunting skills as a child to provide for her impoverished family in western Ohio. At age 15, she won a shooting contest against an experienced marksman, Frank E. Butler, whom she married in 1876. The pair joined Buffalo Bill in 1885, performing in Europe before royalty and other heads of state. Audiences were astounded to see her shooting out a cigar from her husband's hand or splitting a playing-card edge-on at 30 paces. She earned more than anyone except Buffalo Bill himself. After a bad rail accident in 1901, she had to settle for a less taxing routine, and she toured in a play written about her career. She also instructed women in marksmanship, believing strongly in female self-defense. Her stage acts were filmed for one of Thomas Edison's earliest Kinetoscopes in 1894. Since her death, her story has been adapted for stage musicals and films, including Annie Get Your Gun. About the Bozeman, MT-based artist, Deborah McKenna: "Growing up in southern California in the 1950's and 1960's gave me an idyllic childhood. I grew up running free...
