This painting has been in a private collection for the past 30/40 years and was purchased from the art dealer Henri Tiercet. Despite rarely leaving his native Yorkshire, Booth developed an international reputation as a leading botanical and natural history artist. He Spent much of his career in his private studio at home in Alwoodley – an 'inner sanctuary', which no one besides the artist was permitted to enter. Booth's meticulous rendering of wildlife, woodlands, meadows and heathland found admiration far beyond the bounds of his beloved Adel Woods, where he spent much of his time studying and refining his technique, even 'sleeping under hedgerows', remembers Peyton. A plantsman as well as an artist, Booth would cultivate flowers, plants and botanical specimens at home in the garden before painting them in the studio. It was through this extensive and painstaking process that Booth developed an expert knowledge of his subject, a defining feature of his work. Starlings in a Winter Landscape was purchased in the 1980s from Henri Tiercet and owner of Henri Tiercet Galleries Inc. Henri E. Tiercet was born in Belgium but lived in France most of his life. His wife Jenny and he actively fought in the French resistance during WW2 prior to coming to live in the US. Henri specialized in selling imported art. Many from England and France and often had personal relationships with the artist. His wife, Jennifer Tiercet, was also Henri's business partner and studied art restoration. Their Gallery, "Henri Tiercet Galleries, Inc." was established in early 1960s.
