Paper Paintings

A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper. Originating from Rajasthan circa 1760, this exquisite artwork captures a serene palace scene featuring the Hindu deity Krishna with Radha and accompanying Gopis in a lush, architectural setting. The composition is rich in symbolism, narrative depth, and emotional subtlety, hallmarks of classical Rajput painting. The figures are adorned with traditional garments, rendered in delicate pastel tones with intricate patterns and gilt accents. The architectural elements, marble pavilions, domes, carved screens, and floral gardens, are meticulously executed, offering a vivid impression of royal leisure and divine romance. Set against a tree-lined courtyard with peacocks and floral motifs, the visual rhythm is both vibrant and harmonious. The painting is professionally mounted in a deep tan linen mat and presented in an elegant gold-gilt frame with black detailing, complementing the composition's refined warmth and historic gravitas. A rare and captivating example of classical Indian court painting...

Pair of Vintage Irish Donegal watercolours by Frank Murphy R.H.A., R.U.A. This pair of Vintage Irish Donegal watercolours by Frank Murphy R.H.A., R.U.A. captures the timeless beauty of the Irish landscape. Murphy, a celebrated artist, is renowned for his ability to bring the Donegal countryside to life with his watercolours. These two paintings are fine examples of his skill and deep connection to Irish rural life. First Watercolour: Thatched Farm Building The first painting depicts a traditional thatched farm building with the Donegal mountains in the background. The artist uses a soft watercolour wash technique to create a serene atmosphere. The muted tones of the land blend seamlessly with the details of the thatched roof, evoking a sense of peace. Murphy expertly highlights the contrast between the quiet farm and the imposing mountains. The artist’s signature is located in the lower left corner, with the mount inscribed, "nr Cresslough, Donegal." This specific location adds a personal touch, grounding the painting in a real place. Second Watercolour: Thatched Houses by the Sea The second Irish watercolour shows thatched houses by the sea, with the Donegal mountains rising in the background. The scene conveys the peacefulness of Donegal’s coastline. The calm sea and coastal thatched houses reflect the simplicity and beauty of rural Irish life. Murphy uses light and color to give life to the scene, drawing attention to the contrast between the sea and the homes. The donegal coastline is painted in soft blues and greens, capturing its natural beauty. The mountainous backdrop creates a striking balance, highlighting the ruggedness of the land. Key Features of Frank Murphy’s Work Thatched Buildings: A recurring theme in Murphy’s paintings, reflecting traditional Irish architecture. Donegal Landscape: Both pieces showcase the rugged beauty of Donegal’s mountains and coastline. Watercolour Technique: Murphy’s skilful use of the watercolour wash technique creates a soft, atmospheric feel in his works. Signed Artwork: Both paintings are signed by Frank Murphy and come with inscriptions identifying their locations. Why These Watercolours Are Special These Irish watercolours...

Craigmillar Park Golf Club Watercolour, John Blair. An atmospheric original watercolour of Craigmillar Park Golf Links in Edinburgh by the Scottish artist John Blair (1849-1934). Craigmillar Castle from which the club derives its name from is clearly seen in the background and the painting is signed to the lower left corner. Craigmillar Castle was a haunt of Mary Queen of Scots, the world's first recorded lady golfer. How ironic then, that since the golf club's inception equality of the sexes was the rule at Craigmillar Park. John Blair was a Scottish painter, predominantly of watercolour landscapes. Of humble beginnings in Berwickshire, he moved to Edinburgh to study and spent the rest of his life there. His paintings mainly reflect the landscapes around him, both of urban settings and also of the castles, sea and lochs of the Borders. As well as his original work, his paintings were viewed by a wide audience in the form of picture postcards, book endpapers and illustrations. Taken from Craigmillar Park Golf Club website:- Craigmillar Park Golf Club was constituted in 1895 and moved to its present location in 1907. It was extended to 18 holes (designed by James Braid) in 1927. On 12th of January 1895 the Scotsman newspaper carried the following "birth" announcement : "NEW GOLF COURSE IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF EDINBURGH. A nine-hole golf course is being formed at Craigmillar Park and is expected to be ready for play in February. A lease of the ground which extends from Crawfurd Road to Lady Road has been obtained from Captain Gordon Gilmour of Liberton and Craigmillar. The principal entrance will be from Crawfurd Road within three minutes' walk of the Craigmillar Park car terminus and Newington Suburban Station. The course is about a mile in length and has been laid out by Mr. Day of Musselburgh, who has given a very favourable report of the suitability of the ground for the purpose. Already about 150 ladies and gentlemen have been admitted as members of the club." Many, perhaps most, of the new clubs created about the same time as Craigmillar Park were (and some continue) as male preserves. It is clear that from the outset equality of the sexes was the rule at Craigmillar Park, although it was not until 1914 that the subscriptions were equalised. The course was situated in an area of land close to Newington Railway Station and the Newington Bus and Tram Terminus and was thus, easily accessible. In those days there was very little building development between the course and the iconic Craigmillar Castle from which the club derives its name. The castle was a haunt of Mary Queen of Scots, the world's first recorded lady golfer. How ironic then, that since the golf club's inception, ladies have had equal status with men and there was no gender barrier to any office. This was in an age when golf clubs were regarded as male preserves. In 1914, ladies started paying exactly the same subscription as their male counterparts and this has remained right up to the present day. When you consider that all women did not get the vote until 1928, Craigmillar Park Golf Club were indeed trendsetters! Despite the club's early success, with 400 members and a waiting list, they were dealt a blow when their course at Newington was taken over for housing development. They decided, rather than to disband, to relocate the golf course to the eastern slopes of the Blackford Hill in 1907. Once again the close proximity of Blackford Railway Station and Bus Terminus were factors in their decision making. Another factor in choosing Blackford Hill was the potential for increasing the length of the 9 holes that had been played for in the course at Newington and possibly even converting the new course to 18 holes at some future date. This is in fact what happened and James Braid designed a splendid 18 hole course which officially opened in 1927. The new course was a real test of golf with no two holes being the same. The course boasts marvellous views over Edinburgh and Fife and down the coast to the Berwick Law, Bass Rock...
