Percy Robert Craft, British 1856-1934- A Cornish Fishwife; oil on canvas, signed 'Percy R Craft' (lower right), bears old label inscribed 'A Cornish Fishwife / Percy R Craft / N ?' attached to the upper stretcher bar, 59.9 x 34.4 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Craft attended Heatherley School of Fine Art and the Slade, where he studied under Edward Poynter (1836-1919) and Alphonse Legros (1837-1911), before moving to Newlyn in the 1880s. Here, he became a part of the bustling artistic community of the Newlyn School, which included figures such as Stanhope Forbes (1857-1947) and Walter Langley (1852-1922). The present work is typical of Craft's Cornish subjects, with the composition recalling a larger painting by the artist which sold at Bonhams, Knightsbridge, on 13 November 2018 (lot 85).

Estim. 200 - 300 EUR

After Walter Langley, British 1852-1922- Never morning wore to evening but some heart did break; oil on canvas, signed with initials and dated 'JE H. W. / 1895' (lower left), inscribed 'After W. Langley' verso, 27.9 x 38 cm. Note: The present work is a copy after Langley's original, painted in 1894, and which is now held in the collection of the Birmingham Museums Trust [1980P18]. The title of Langley's painting is taken from the 1850 poem 'In Memoriam, A.H.H' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, referring to the nature of the work as a meditation on grief, depicting a figure who buries her head in her hands, seemingly overwhelmed by loss, whilst being comforted by the woman who sits beside her. The coastal setting, and the fishing vessels in the background, clearly gesture towards the dangers of the sea, which were ever-present in 19th-century fishing communities.

Estim. 150 - 200 EUR
