£20,000-30,000

Dominic Serres was the foremost British marine painter of the eighteenth century. A founding member of the Royal Academy and Marine Painter to George III, Serres was actually born in France and brought to England as prisoner of war in about 1745 after travelling the world in his young years, managing to sail to Cuba as a ship’s captain, where he was captured. He remained in England after the peace treaty between France and England and was thoroughly assimilated in the English way of life. Serres is thought to have trained as a painter in Northamptonshire and later in London under Charles Brooking. He began his career with a print publishers recording the developments of the Seven Year War but his skill and passion for naval drawing and painting soon attracted the patronage of leading naval commanders who wished to commemorate their achievements in dramatic naval battles. His clients included Hawke, Keppel, Hervey (Earl of

Bristol), Hyde Parker, Barrington, Rodney and Jervis (Earl of St Vincent) among many others. The second half of the seventeenth century was a decisive and turbulent time for the British Empire and the development of its naval dominance and Serres was never short of subject matter. By entering the service of George III, his art took on a more propagandistic aspect, recording the navy’s might and many triumphs and campaigns. The present painting is indeed exemplary of this type of important representation of power and it depicts ‘The Van and Rear of All his Majesty’s Ships and Transports’, stationed by Cuba, with ‘The Pan or Cape Land of the Matanzes, at a large distance being a high Table-Land’. The present expansive view was painted in 1767 to commemorate a substantial campaign to Havana during the Seven

Years War. Cuba’s capital was the centre of the Spanish possessions in the Western Hemisphere and an important hub for Spain’s mercantile and military forces. Spain had increasingly allied itself with France in its colonial war against England and George III finally declared war on Spain in 1762. Amid great secrecy an enormous fleet of more than 180 was gathered, under the command of Admiral Sir George Pocock, and sailed through the dangerous Old Straits of Bahama, from Jamaica, to take Havana by surprise. The campaign was an utter success with Havana surrendering in the middle of August that year, but the city was returned the following year in the Treaty of Paris. One of the lieutenants aboard the 66 gun man-of-war Orford was Philip Orsbright. He recorded in notes and drawings all the stages of the approach, siege and capture of the following weeks. Upon

his return to England he approached Serres to use his detailed drawings and notes to produce a full set of paintings by 1764 which were then published as engravings in 1764-65 and offered for two guineas per set. The present work represents Plates I and II in the album ‘The Van and Rear of All his Majesty’s Ships and Transports’ and was painted by Serres, probably as a commission from the family of Admiral Keppel. Another painting by Serres of the same date as the present work and related to the Havana campaign engravings, The Capture of Havana, 1762: the English Battery Before Morro Castle, is currently on view at the National Maritime Museum in London, on loan from a private collection. The present lot and the work currently hanging in London may have been commissioned by the same person in 1767. The three frigates leading the

van, and represented here are the Richmond by Capt Elphinstone, the Mercury by Captain Goodall and Alarm by Captain Alms. The ships on the right of the composition on the other hand are the Namur carrying Admiral Sir George Pocock, who led the naval campaign, Valiant with Hon Augustus Keppel and the Culloden by Captain John Barker. The present painting and the Havana series of paintings as a whole represent an important turning point in Serres’s reputation and career. The Keppel family dominated the ‘Havannah’ campaign and following Serres’s production of Orsbright’s drawings, various members commissioned versions of certain views from the set to display in their country houses. Their example was later followed by other commanders and captains who also wished to commemorate their naval triumphs and chose Serres as the most fashionable and preferred marine painter in England. The full set of twelve engravings of ‘The Capture of Havannah, 1762.’ is in the collection of the National Maritime Museum, London and only seven of Serres’ paintings of this series, excluding the present one, have been known to scholars until now.

Davidson, Samuel Walters, Coventry 1992, pp.121-122, 165, colour illustration.

£8,000-12,000

The son of the shipwright and marine painter Miles Walters (1774-1849), Samuel Walters was very fittingly born at sea on a passage between Bideford and London in 1811. The family had moved to Liverpool by 1832 and Samuel trained and painted with his father and some of their collaboratory works are signed Walters and Son. He exhibited his paintings for the first time at the Liverpool Academy Annual Exhibition in 1830 and continued to exhibit there for thirty-five years, becoming a member in 1841. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy in London between 1842 and 1861, specialising in coastal views. The midnineteenth century saw Merseyside enjoying a tremendous shipping boom. During the period 1830-1930 Liverpool was probably the greatest emigration port in world history, handling an astounding nine million passengers from as far afield as Russia. Passenger lists indicate that transfer on the Frankfield, the subject of the present lot, between Liverpool and Port Philip in southern Victoria in Australia, for example cost between £10 and £20 in 1841. Walters gained commissions for ship portraits from all the major

shipping companies and his work shapes an extraordinary portrait of nineteenth century ocean commerce and travel. The present work shows the ship Frankfield, her name on the bow as well as on the flag at the main. The full-rigged ship was built in New Brunswick, Canada in 1840 for Thomas Wilson & Co of Liverpool for their Australian service and weighed 750 tonnes. Many shipping companies had their vessels built in New Brunswick for economic reasons. The present canvas dates from 1847, the ship’s last year of service as it was wrecked in December of that year. There are two earlier compositions by Walters of the vessel in different situations. One of these is presently in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Dated 1841, it shows the Frankfield at Mersey with another ship, Brutus owned by Wilson & Co in the foreground. In the present work Frankfield is shown under shortened sail with topsails reefed, in a fresh breeze and moderately rough seas. Table Bay is in the background and the ship appears to be returning to Liverpool. Table Bay is a natural inlet overlooked by Cape Town; is at the northern

end of the Cape Peninsula and was named after the flattopped Table Mountain which dominates it. Walters is not known to have visited Table Bay, but his uncle, Lieutenant Samuel Walters RN did, sketching the scene in his journal. The background shown here was also used by his father, Miles in the 1820’s and it was available from contemporary prints. The 1840s saw Walter’s style mature and works from that decade are considered as ‘middle period’. Distinguishing paintings from this time in particular is the breaking up and broadening of the rather rigid brush strokes of his ‘early period’, denoting the water and wave crests through a looser and more spontaneous handling of paint. The overall effect is one of greater fluidity and movement both in sea and sky and a more subtle balance between light and shade.

£20,000-30,000

Théophile Poilpot was the son of an artist, also called Théophile Poilpot, and specialised in battle scenes, genres paintings, portraits and seascapes. A student of celebrated Academic painters Gerôme and Gustave Boulanger at the Ecole de Beaux Arts Paris, he was a regular exhibitor at the Salon from 1874 and at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he got an honourable mention in 1883. He was decorated Chevalier in 1889 and subsequently Officer of the Legion d’Honneur in 1895. Whilst he is chiefly known for his large scale battlescenes, such as The Battle of Iena or the Battle of Balaclava, he also ventured into North American subject matter, such as Bull Run, held in Washington or the Merrimac

and Monitor in New York. He excelled in the construction of multi-figural compositions as exemplified by the present painting. There is indeed a transatlantic link here, as the painting depicts the departure of the ship La Normandie from Le Havre to New York in 1889. Like Liverpool, Le Havre was a major European port for transatlantic travel until the advent of commercial air travel in 1970s. The steamship La Normandie is seen docked and loading her passengers, with groups in the foreground exchanging their farewells. The ship was built for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (French Line) by Barrow Shipbuilding Co in Barrow, north-west England. She was laid down as the Ville de New

York, but was launched on 28 October 1882 as Normandie at 6,283 tons and 139m long. Its service speed was 15.75 knots - the fastest in CGT’s fleet and designed to match the fast oceanliners of the British Cunard Line or the White Star Line. It offered accommodation to over one thousand passengers, most of them in steerage class. It sailed on its maiden voyage on 1883 from Le Havre to New York and went on to sail to Panama and Vera Cruz in the 1890’s and 1900’s. It was scrapped at Bo’ness in 1912. La Normandie is not to be confused with another great French oceanliner, the SS Normandie, which entered service in 1935 and broke the record for transatlantic crossing by making the journey in four days and three hours, snatching the highlysought after Blue Riband for the French from the Italians. The present painting is an important depiction of transatlantic travel and the manner in which it changed the way people saw their world. It attests to the great pride in which nations held their shipping companies and the opportunities created for Europeans to travel, immigrate and create new lives for themselves overseas.

Mrs Millar was the widow of James Morrison McChlery, auctioneer and artist. The present painting is one of a group of four Hunter works acquired by Morris McChlery in London in the late 1960s. One painting from the group was gifted by Mrs Millar to the City of Glasgow Council in memory of her husband following his death in 1969; it is held in the city's Kelvingrove Art Gallery

£30,000-50,000

Born in Rothesay, on the island of Bute, George Leslie Hunter’s still lifes are undoubtedly among the most vibrant and modern of Scottish paintings of the early 20th century. Largely selftaught, Hunter started his career as a magazine illustrator before turning for inspiration to the work of 17th century Dutch masters and the later Fantin Latour and Edouard Manet. Hunter’s early still life’s echo the latter’s pre-occupation with broadly modelled forms emerging from a dark backbackground. It is not known how the artist’s work became known to the dealer Alexander Reid but this partnership, which resulted in Hunter’s first solo exhibition in Glasgow in 1916 and the creation of a circle of regular collectors of Hunter’s work, gave the artist much more financial freedom and allowed him to visit the Continent, Paris and the South of France in particular on regular intervals. These

124

visits allowed the artist to come into contact with the most recent developments in France, namely the growing eminence of Paul Cézanne and the newly exhibited work of Matisse and Picasso. Matisse’s palette and approach to texture, pattern and a non-linear representation of space in particular was to have a radical influence on Hunter’s work and can be seen in the present canvas, in the bold emphasis on the pattern of the fabric on the right, as well as the strong dark brush strokes outlining the vase, the flowers and the pear, emphasising the importance of line and pattern in creating volume and a perception of pictorial architecture. Hunter did not, however, create a mere pastiche of the Frenchman’s work. When the Scotsman’s paintings were shown in New York in 1929, the critic for the New York Evening Post noted; '... it would be difficult not to think of Matisse at first viewing of

this exhibition. Yet, after looking at it longer one sees that there has been an influence of Matisse, but that here is a new individual palette and personality.' (T. J. Honeyman, Introducing Leslie Hunter, 1937, p. 135). The present work exemplifies Hunter’s late, vibrantly colourful style at its best.

Samuel John Peploe’s oil Near Douglas Hall succinctly demonstrates the Colourist’s masterful use of strong colour, his tight compositions and meticulous execution. Peploe was educated at the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, at the Academie Julian in Paris under the neoclassicist William Bouguereau, and later at the Academie Colarossi. He began visiting and painting in northern France and the Hebrides with J D Fergusson as early as 1901 and eventually moved to Paris in 1910. The exposure to the rich artistic climate of the continent, the light palettes of Cézanne and the Impressionists had a dramatic effect on his work. It was in that decade that his landscapes and still life’s underwent a dramatic change, with the introduction of bolder, lighter colours, more painterly brushstrokes.

Peploe returned to Scotland in 1915 with his family as war on the Continent made life more unpredictable, and his health was considered too poor for conscription. It was in the second half of the decade that he painted a small series of landscapes around Douglas Hall, Kirkcudbright, Laggan and Dalbeattie in the southwest of the country. The area was already a popular destination for artists in the nineteenth century and Peploe found much to occupy him here. In these landscapes, as exemplified here, Peploe used a much more natural palate and a more structured approach to the composition. The dark outline emphasised the linear planes of the flat picture plane, focusing on the medium rather than the subject matter.

conventional aerial or geometrical perspective strategies of earlier traditional painters. The perfectly harmonised shades of green are layered along the pictorial plane to lead our eye into the idyllic haystack landscape and to the hills beyond. The swell of the land in the distance is impossible to separate from Cézanne’s beloved Mont St Victoire in Provence, which Peploe would have been thoroughly familiar with, from his time spent in France in the first half of the decade.

Peploe uses the diminishing posts along the path to convey depth, rather than more

181 EY907/1 SAMUEL JOHN PEPLOE R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1871-1935) IONA Signed, oil on board 33cm x 41cm (13in x 16in) Provenance: A gift from Mrs Peploe

£30,000-50,000

The island of Iona became a place of personal inspiration for Samuel John Peploe and it has often been referred to as his Mont St Victoire. Peploe first visited Iona in 1920 with fellow Colourist Cadell. He was to return most years until his death in 1935. The dramatic landscape with enormous craggy rocks emerging from white sands, under a constantly shifting light more than made up for the wild weather of the island, which was known to frustrate him. He wrote to his friend William Macdonald in 1923, 'We had miserable weather in Iona this year - worst in living memory - gales and rain the whole time. I got very little done. But that kind of weather suits Iona; the rocks and distant shores seen through falling rain, veil behind veil, take on an

elusive, mysterious quality, and when the light shines through one has visions of rare beauty. I think I prefer it these days to your blue skies and clear distances' (Stanley Cursiter, Peploe, London, 1947, p. 71).

seemingly provided an emotional sustenance for the artist: ‘the island was of far more significance for Peploe. It was a sanctuary. He felt in tune with this place.' (Guy Peploe, S. J. Peploe 18711935, 2000, p. 65)

Peploe engaged with these surroundings passionately. The ruggedness of the rocks and expansive beaches had a tremendously liberating effect on his technique. His compositions were simplified even further, often coming close to abstraction and establishing an invaluable precedent for Scottish Modernist artists to follow. The paintings he produced on the island were incredibly popular with collectors and did much to ensure his financial stability in the second half of his career. More importantly, Iona also

S J Peploe’s iconic West Coast view of Iona holds a special place in the history of the Scottish Arts Club as it was personally donated to the Club by the widow of the artist. It is not known if Peploe was a member of the Club or not but it seems inevitable that he would have enjoyed the hospitality of the elegant Georgian Club house as a guest of other artist members.

While prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable.

(2) If a vendor wishes to withdraw a catalogued lot, a withdrawal fee will apply at the auctioneer’s discretion; this will be charged at 10% mid estimate. 15. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) While we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements

by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale. GENERAL 17. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 18 (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. (2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 19. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue. 21. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
