Eric Ward (British, 20th Century) Mousehole Regatta, Cornwall Oil on canvas Signed lower right Eric Ward was a gifted British landscape and marine painter whose colourful interpretations of Britain’s coastal villages captured the charm and vitality of seaside life during the twentieth century. Working in a fresh Impressionist manner, Ward became particularly known for his evocative harbour scenes, where brilliant coastal light, shimmering reflections and the movement of sailing craft combined to create compositions of enduring decorative appeal. His paintings celebrate the unique character of Britain’s maritime heritage, especially the picturesque fishing communities of Cornwall. This delightful painting depicts the picturesque harbour of Mousehole, one of Cornwall’s most celebrated fishing villages, during the excitement of the annual regatta. Sheltered by its historic granite harbour walls, the tranquil waters are alive with traditional sailing boats, their colourful sails reflected in the calm sea beneath an expansive summer sky. Small rowing boats drift quietly in the foreground, while visitors stroll along the quayside, enjoying the festivities against a backdrop of whitewashed cottages climbing the hillside beyond. Ward masterfully captures the distinctive atmosphere that has attracted artists to Mousehole for well over a century. His confident brushwork and luminous palette beautifully convey the clarity of the Cornish light, where brilliant blues, soft turquoise waters and warm earth tones combine in perfect harmony. The vibrant red and white sails punctuate the composition with striking accents of colour, while the broken reflections dancing across the harbour create an impression of gentle movement and sparkling sunshine. Throughout the twentieth century, Mousehole became one of Britain’s most important artistic destinations, drawing painters inspired by its intimate harbour, traditional fishing boats and unspoilt coastal scenery. Ward continues this distinguished tradition, producing a work that balances careful observation with an impressionistic freedom, allowing colour and atmosphere to take precedence over meticulous detail. The result is a painting that is both instantly recognisable as one of Cornwall’s most beloved harbours and timeless in its celebration of the English seaside. Beautifully composed and executed with a lively painterly touch, this oil on canvas perfectly encapsulates the relaxed spirit of a Cornish regatta. Rich in colour, light and maritime character, it is an excellent example of Eric Ward’s coastal paintings and would make a charming addition to any collection of British marine art, Cornish paintings...

Francis Mabel Hollams (1877–1963) The Farrier’s Visit, circa 1925 Oil on canvas, monogrammed lower right. Presented in its original gilt frame. Francis Mabel Hollams was one of Britain’s most accomplished painters of horses and domestic animals during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A gifted sporting artist, she studied under the distinguished equestrian painter Lucy Kemp-Welch and went on to establish a successful career exhibiting at London’s foremost institutions, including the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Her paintings are celebrated for their exceptional draughtsmanship, sensitive observation and genuine understanding of animal character, qualities that have secured her place among the finest female sporting artists of her generation. The Farrier’s Visit beautifully encapsulates the quiet rhythms of rural England during the years when the working horse remained indispensable to everyday agricultural life. Hollams depicts a magnificent grey Shire horse standing patiently outside a traditional brick stable as the village farrier carefully replaces one of its shoes. The scene is entirely unforced and deeply authentic, celebrating the mutual trust between horse and craftsman, a relationship forged through generations of skilled husbandry. The monumental presence of the Shire horse dominates the composition, yet Hollams avoids sentimentality, instead conveying its immense strength through calm composure and gentle dignity. Every detail, from the worn leather harness to the weathered stable doors and simple blacksmith’s tools...

Arthur Kemp Tebby (1866–1935) English Rose Arbor, circa 1890 Oil on wooden panel, signed lower right. Arthur Kemp Tebby was among the finest English painters of gardens and floral landscapes working during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. A gifted colourist and accomplished plein air painter, Tebby became celebrated for his depictions of English country gardens in full bloom, capturing the fleeting beauty of the seasons with remarkable delicacy and atmosphere. Influenced by both the French Impressionists and the rich tradition of British landscape painting, his works possess a freshness and luminosity that have made them enduringly sought after by collectors. This enchanting painting portrays a magnificent rose-covered arbor in the height of summer, inviting the viewer along a quiet garden path beneath cascades of climbing roses in shades of crimson, blush pink and ivory. Dappled sunlight filters gently through the foliage, illuminating the gravel walkway and creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The abundance of flowering shrubs, carefully observed botanical detail and softly diffused background combine to evoke the tranquillity and romance of an English country garden at its seasonal peak. Executed with Tebby’s characteristic sensitivity, the composition demonstrates his mastery of colour and texture. Delicate brushwork captures the profusion of blooms without sacrificing spontaneity, while subtle tonal transitions lend remarkable depth and atmosphere. The artist’s restrained palette of soft greens, warm earth tones and vibrant floral highlights creates an elegant balance that is both decorative and naturalistic. Painted around 1890, this work belongs to a period when Tebby was producing some of his most accomplished garden scenes, subjects that remain among his most desirable. His paintings celebrate the Victorian passion for cultivated gardens while embracing the increasingly Impressionistic handling of light and colour that distinguished progressive British artists of the era. Beautifully presented in an elegant gilt frame, this charming painting is a quintessential example of late nineteenth-century English garden painting...
