John Anster “Fairy” Fitzgerald is one of the best regarded artist in this genre of picture. Unlike many Victorian fairy painters, Fitzgerald dedicated almost his entire career to the genre, unlike many of his contemporaries such as Joseph Noel Paton. While many of these fairy painters took much of their inspiration from literary subjects such as A Midsummer Nights Dream or The Tempest Fitzgerald formulated many of his ideas from his own personal imagination, dreams and nightmares. As a result his pictures are more compellingly real and convincing than many other fairy painters of the time.

1086 Circle of Hendrik Maertensz. Sorgh (1611-1670) Dutch The Fish Market Bears signature, oil on canvas, 63cm by 80cm Provenance: Houstoun Boswall Collection (via descent from Houstoun Boswall baronets) Private Collection UK This composition presents a wealth of detail suggesting Hendrik Maertensz. Sorgh as direct influence and author at least in part. Numerous distinctive elements can be found in similar market scenes by Sorgh where, as here, a central elegant figure and other key participants are differentiated by bold colour and light from the muted tones and looser handling of background and secondary characters. Patterning and arrangements of specific colours - in this case accents of red/pinks, gold/yellow and grey/white - focus attention on key passages such as the interaction between the central figure and the fishwife to the far right whose cut of salmon echoes the woman’s dress. Typical also are the displays of market fare - in this case fish - painted with care and considerable effect, the basket of plaice lower left balancing the fish on the stall to the right. Children and dogs playing or watching in the foreground are also found elsewhere in Sorgh’s work, as is the diminutive woman carrying a wide basket on her head and the porticoed market area - perhaps loosely based on related structure/s in Rotterdam. A key note is struck by the fish-seller at centre whose pose echoes that of the Italianate statue of Neptune. Classicising elements such as the statue and sculpted portico - with their suggestion of roots in antiquity to underpin a sense of current civic pride - support a date of c.1665. The painting offers numerous complex and thoughtful passages executed to good effect - while certain areas indicate lesser studio hand/s. It includes two unusual historical details: well executed renderings of a hobby-horse clutched by the sulky young boy and of the handwarmer or muff carried by his mother. The handwarmer appears rarely in C17th Dutch art but was popular in Europe at times during the period - and is famously referenced in Samuel Pepys diary entry for 30 November 1662, which records how he borrowed one from his wife! For comparable work see Christie’s, Amsterdam, 24 May 2016, Lot 73. “View of a Fish Market” by Hendrick Maertensz. Sorgh held by the Riksmuseum, Amsterdam.

1110 Attributed to John Frederick Herring Snr. (1795-1865) At the start, c.1830 Pencil and watercolour, 32cm by 46cm It is possible that this work depicts the start of the St. Leger in 1830. The winner of said race “Birmingham” was painted by Herring in 1830 and also engraved. The horse and jockey on the far right of the present composition match the colours for Birmingham and its jockey Patrick Connolly, including his distinctive mutton chop sideburns. The depicted weather conditions are consistent with the famously stormy circumstances of the St Leger in 1830. There are further similarities between the second place winner at the 1830 St. Leger - “Priam” and the jockey colours worn by the centre back figure.

NON-SELLING EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS Tennants hosts a busy and varied programme of exhibitions and events, which not only support and enhance the auction programme but provide a diverse cultural experience for visitors and the local community. Frequently working in association with museums, private collectors and educational establishments, highlights of the non-selling exhibition programme include curated displays of treasures from The Bowes Museum and fine art exhibitions including 350 Years of British Art and Light & Shadow, which showcased major loaned works from over twenty museums and numerous private collections. The applied arts have been celebrated with exhibitions dedicated to William Morris, antique quilts and the furniture and furnishings of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson. Northern Art is championed too, with frequent selling exhibitions. Recent highlights have included Norman Cornish: Bishop’s Close Street and Sally Arnup: Life in Bronze, both of which were staged in conjunction with the artists’ estates.
