Richard Ball Spencer British, (1812-1897) The Perthshire off Ailsa Craig Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 22.25 inches x 36.25 inches Size including frame: 31 inches x 45 inches This painting by Richard Ball Spencer is of the Perthshire, a three-masted barque sailing off Ailsa Craig. The Perthshire was built in Dundee in 1874 and was owned by Thomas Law of 123 Hope Street, Glasgow. The red ensign flying on the mizzenmast indicates it was a British merchant or passenger ship. The owner may well have commissioned the painting to commemorate its maiden voyage. Ailsa Craig, pictured to the far left, is a small uninhabited island off the west mainland of Scotland in the outer Firth of Clyde. The island is made up of volcanic rock which was quarried in the past and is now only used as a source of microgranite to make curling stones. The island is known by a number of different names including A' Chreag (the rock) and Creag Alasdair (Alasdair's rock). It was also sometimes referred to in the past as ‘Paddy’s Milestone’ as it marked the halfway of the sea journey Belfast to Glasgow made by Irish Emigrants seeking work. Richard Ball Spencer was born in London’s East End on 11 November, 1812 to John and Elizabeth Ball. His father was a grocer and the family lived at 106 York Road in Mile End. Both Richard and his brother Thomas were given their mother’s maiden name as their middle names. By 1841, he had established himself as a marine painter specialising in ship portraits and was influenced by artists such as Joseph Heard (1799-1859), William John Huggins (1781-1845) and Robert Salmon (c1775-1845). He spent his time travelling to trading ports around the British coast as well as the nearby London docks of Brunswick Wharf and the Isle of...

Pair of Walter Heath Williams Landscape Paintings of Harvesters

By Walter Heath Williams

Located in Shippensburg, PA

This is an incredibly attractive pair of works by Walter Heath Williams of London. Born in 1836, Walter Heath Williams developed a rather distinctive style and space for his genre landscape paintings over the course of his career. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1845-1867 and was generally active in London until around 1876. With a tendency and preference for a canvas of 18" x 26", Williams regularly painted pairs of scenes that complimented one another either panoramically or in terms of perspective. The present pair are no exception, each being a perfectly captured scene of Harvesters at work in a field of wheat beside running water. Bright and vibrant, the colors of each work are just so striking and nostalgic, the nearly cloudless sky shaded by groves of trees in the forefront while the laborers clear the field. Both are signed in the lower left/right corners respectively, the back of the stretcher retaining a label from the Parker Gallery in London. They are an absolutely exquisite pair of landscape paintings...
