Henry Brittan Willis, British 1810-1884- Cattle resting in a wooded landscape - a pair; oils on panel, one signed and dated 'Willis / 1834' (lower left), each 28 x 38.2 cm., a pair (2). Provenance: with The Rowley Gallery, London. Private Collection, UK (by descent). Note: Willis initially trained with his father G.H. Willis, also an artist, before settling in London in 1843, where he enjoyed success as a landscape and animal painter. He exhibited widely over the course of his career, including at the Royal Academy of Arts, British Institution, and the Society of British Artists. This pair of paintings are typical of the artist's peaceful pastoral scenes, and recall, for example, his paintings in the Shipley Art Gallery [TWCMS : B4249], and in the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery [L.F7.1891.0.0].
