Description
Charles Walter Simpson, RI, British 1885-1971- Sunset on the Wolds; oil on paper, signed 'Charles Simpson' (lower left), 36.7 x 52.3 cm. ARR. Provenance: Presented to Henry Arthur Cholmondeley by the Middleton Hunt Committee, 26th August 1928 (according to the frame). Private Collection, UK. Note: Simpson studied at the Bushey School of Art under the equestrian painter Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958), an experience which undoubtedly informed his work as an animal and bird painter, for which he enjoyed considerable success. The present work is typical of Simpson's approach, especially in his loose, impressionistic brushstrokes, evoking the light of the setting sun as it falls on the landscape.
