PAUL BRIL

Flemish 1554-1626

Coastal landscape with a harbour, and fishermen and merchants on the shore Oil on canvas

69.9 x 101.2cm; 27½ x 39¾in

Provenance:

The Charrington Family Collection, Winchfield House, Hampshire Literature:

To be published in Luuk Pijl’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Bril’s work

The present work is an exciting addition to the ouevre of Paul Bril. Until its recent discovery, the painting was completely unknown to scholars. Its composition was known only through a copy, which was offered for auction in Paris (Delon-Hoebanx, 12 October 2023, lot 19). The Paris work was offered with a pendant, which itself reproduced Bril’s Italianate Landscape with a hawking party approaching a villa, which sold at Sotheby’s, London, 10 July 2003, lot 10. It seems likely that our work and the Sotheby’s painting were hanging as pendants when the copyist made their versions. However, the two Bril paintings, although similar in size, do not work particularly well as a pair, so were probably not conceived as pendants even if they were later displayed as such.

Bril was the most influential landscape painter of his generation. Luuk Pijl has described this work as ‘a fine and significant addition’ to a small group of landscapes with harbours which Bril painted on canvas. None of these works are dated, but in the context of Bril’s overall stylistic development, a date of 1610-1615 is plausible.

We are grateful to Drs Luuk Pijl for confirming the attribution of the present work to Paul Bril on the basis of photographs.

The present work is an important and exciting addition to the ouevre of Willem van de Velde the Younger. Until its recent discovery in a private collection its existence was merely conjecture. In his catalogue raisonné of the paintings of the Elder and Younger Willem van de Velde, Michael S. Robinson included a painting in a private Dutch collection, that is almost identical in composition to the right-hand side of our work (see M. Robinson, Van de Velde: a catalogue of the paintings of the elder and the younger Willem van de Velde (London, 1990, p.701, no.695). According to Robinson the Dutch work was “Painted perhaps partly by the Younger, c.1685’. The unusual upright format of the Dutch painting (26.7 x 21.5cm), and the fact that the principal vessel was unusually large in the foreground, led Robinson to suggest that ‘the possibility must exist that the galliot is cut from a larger picture’.

The emergence of our painting demonstrates that Robinson’s hypothesis was correct, but our work shows a more elaborate and balanced version of the composition. The complete painting shows all the characteristics of the way van de Velde constructed his compositions. Firstly there is the low horizon, customary in van de Velde’s marine paintings. The main elements of the picture, namely the group of warships on the left and the inland vessel on the right, are prominently displayed. The middle section offers an almost empty vista of the horizon. The spit of land in the foreground, furnished with several men, is also a typical element of the calm coastal views in which van de Velde excelled. Besides the composition, this canvas shows an important characteristic of the artist, which is the subtle way the sails are lit up by the sun, especially on the warship on the left.

The rounded letters of the signature suggests that our work dates from van de Velde’s English period, as opposed to the more angular letters of his Dutch period, when he signed in the same way as his father. Although it is not dated, it was probably painted c.1680-1685. The fact that it is signed indicates that he considered it a finished work, and the excellent execution and the format makes it clear that he produced the painting entirely by himself, without any help from studio assistants. It is also notable that van de Velde has worked in a slightly loose hand, and raises the possibility that it may be an oil sketch or a modello for a larger canvas. The ‘half-canvas’ that Robinson illustrates might have been a studio repetition. A comparable work to our painting is in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich (no.ZBA2145), similar in size, composition and execution.

Our work has passed by descent to the present owner from the collection of John Edward Rudge (1903-1970). Rudge’s ancestor Edward Rudge (1763-1846) (Lugt 900), had assembled a superb collection of Old Master prints which were sold at Christie’s in 1924. It seems likely therefore that the present work was also originally purchased by Edward.

We are grateful to Dr. Remmelt Daalder for confirming the attribution of the present work to Willem van de Velde the Younger, on the basis of photographs.

WILLIAM ROBINSON 1799-1839

Portrait of William Willoughby Cole, 3rd Earl of Enniskillen (1807-1886), half-length, wearing a fur-lined black coat Oil on canvas

75.9 x 63.5cm; 30 x 25in

Provenance: English Private Collection

Exhibited: London, Royal Academy. 1828, no.510

Another smaller version of the present work, painted by William Robinson on panel, is in the collection of Florence Court in Northern Ireland, the family seat of the Earls of Enniskillen. However, our version is so superior in quality to the Florence Court painting, that it raises the question as to whether Robinson received assistance from his former master Sir Thomas Lawrence. Robinson was an assistant in Lawrence’s studio in the 1820s, and retained a

London address at 132 Jermyn Street not far from Lawrence’s studio. This is probably one of the best portraits Robinson ever painted, containing much of the flair and character of Lawrence, that is missing his other paintings, including the Florence Court version.

The present work was painted c.1827-28 and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1828. Presumably, the portrait was commissioned to celebrate the sitter’s 21st birthday in January of that year. There was a large party at Florence Court and an illumination at Enniskillen, and it seems plausible that the unveiling of the present work was part of the celebrations. Robinson also painted other members of the family, which hang at Florence Court as well, and some have identical frames and similar labels to the present work. William Willoughby Cole, later the 3rd Earl of Enniskillen, would go onto become a Member of Parliament and a renowned palaeontologist. He assembled a fine collection of nearly 10,000 fossils at Florence Court, which he would eventually sell to the newly founded Natural History Museum.

DAVID ROBERTS RA 1796-1864

The Chapel of St. Helena, in the Crypt of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem Bears a signature and date David Roberts. April 10th 1839 (lower right)

Pencil and watercolour heightened with bodycolour and gum arabic 32.6 x 47.2cm; 12¾ x 18½in

Provenance: Sir Reginald Houldsworth (1903-1989); By whom sold, Sotheby’s, London, Fine Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Drawings, 23 November 1967, lot 47 (as The Chapel of St. Helena, Bethlehem); Leger Galleries, December 1968, where purchased by the previous private collector; And by family descent

David Robert’s diary records him making four drawings of the Holy Sepulchre on 10th April 1839. This work is probably one of these drawings, made on-the-spot. It would then have served as the basis for Louis Haghe’s lithograph, with the customary minor compositional changes, most notably the figure in blue in the centre of the foreground. Roberts had actually already visited the Holy Sepulchre on two separate occasions at the end of March 1839. The numerous visits are testament to the importance of the site, considered by many as the holiest site in Christianity. The Chapel of St Helena dates from the 12th century and is in the Holy Sepulchre’s lower level. Like many of Roberts’ on-the-spot drawings the present work was probably trimmed, hence why the original signature and date were then transcribed. Roberts is a central figure in the history of Orientalism. As the first professional artist from Britain to travel through the Middle East and North Africa he was a pioneering figure. He left London in August 1838, travelling first to Egypt before going onto the Holy Land. When he returned in July the next year he carried back nearly 300 drawings, and many sketchbooks, which formed the basis for a series of lithographs published as The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia, and which caused a sensation.

Coming of Age in the Olden Time was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1849 and was the outstanding painting of William Powell Frith’s career to date. It represents the culmination of the first phase of Frith’s career and, in the words of The Art Journal was ‘superior to everything that has preceded it from the same hand’.

Frith has set the work in the courtyard of a mansion during the Elizabethan period. The young lord stands on the steps to the right, listening to an address of congratulations by the old man below. The heir is accompanied by his mother and father, and his grandmother is seated nearby. Below him a group of villagers have thronged, some bearing gifts, such as the plumed helmet, falcon and two hounds. Beyond the celebratory feast is in full swing, with wine and ale flowing, and an ox roasting.

Frith began the present work in September 1848, after his summer holiday in Scarborough. He did not finish the work until April the following year, when he immediately dispatched it to the Royal Academy where it was one of the highlights of the Summer Exhibition. Frith stated that he based the background on Heslington Hall near York, and Hever Castle in Kent, although Roy Strong has noted that features also seem to derive from Joseph Nash’s The Mansions of England in the Olden Times. Similarly details of the dress were incorporated from engravings in F. W. Fairholt’s Costume in England. Frith also went to see an ox being roasted at a cattle market in Islington, later saying that ‘neither sight nor smell were altogether pleasant, and the company was doubtful’.

Frith’s early works were mostly based on literary subjects, from the novels of Charles Dickens, Walter Scott and Oliver Goldsmith. In the late 1840s he started to depart from these literary subjects, and started to explore the costumes and festivities of the past. Coming of Age in the Olden Time marks both the zenith and conclusion of Frith’s early career. Thereafter, he focused on subjects of modern life, which he called ‘hat and trouser pictures’. However, both Frith’s historical and contemporary paintings feature the same themes and elements that make his work so compelling. His interest in incidental detail; the individualisation of each figure and their relationship to each other; and a remarkable ability to depict a panoramic representation of various elements of society, made him one of the most popular and successful artists of the Victorian era.

Testament to the popularity of Coming of Age in the Olden Time is the fact that Frith was asked to paint two further smaller versions. The first was also executed in 1849, and was commissioned by the noted collector Thomas Miller. It was also planned that Miller’s version would be used as the basis for an engraving. However, James Eden, who had originally commissioned our prime version, objected to the idea of a copy. The situation was resolved when the dealer Lloyd took over the commission of our version from Eden. A final, much smaller version was painted in 1907.

William Powell Frith exhibited the prime version of Claude Duval at the Royal Academy in 1860, and today it hangs in the Manchester Art Gallery (no.1917.270). He signed a contract with the dealer Louis Victor Flatow for the original work, two smaller versions and the copyright of the composition. After the copyright expired, Frith then painted two further versions, in 1886 (offered here) and 1903.

575 (framed)

The subject of the present work derives from Thomas Babington Macaulay’s History of England from the Accession of James II. Claude Duval was originally a French page to the Duke of Richmond, but became a highwayman noted for his fashionable attire and gentlemanly behaviour. Frith has depicted the moment when Duval’s gang has held up the carriage of Lady Aurora Sydney. Her carriage contained £400, but Duval took only £100 on the condition that Lady Aurora danced a Coranto with him.

LOT SYMBOLS

VAT

Lots marked with a dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega (Ω) have been temporarily imported from outside the EU and are subject to VAT at 5% on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium.

The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/imports-exports/cites/

Lots marked with a Φ symbol are potentially subject to a levy.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.

Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below £1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is £12,500.

Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency.

VALUATIONS

Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or director. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount.

INSURANCE VALUATIONS

Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual clients’ needs.

For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.

Woolley and Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.

PROBATE VALUATIONS

We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.
