Emille Othon Friesz (1879 - 1949) - The Sea Captain (£350)
- 38 x 47 cm
(15.25” x 18.5”, 38.5 x 47.2cm) This original Lithograph is by Achille Emile Othon Friesz. In translation it is believed to be entitled ancient sea wolf (or perhaps the old sea wolf) published by Edmond and Jacques Desjobert. Othon Friesz was a key French artist, a founder of the Fauvist movement alongside the likes of Raoul Dufy. Two colours print on tinted Malacca Vellum paper. Friesz produced a lot of work associated with the sea and fishing inspired by his hometown of Le Havre, this old seadog fisherman image captures that lifetime of toil associated with English Channel /Atlantic fishing.
Circa. 1930

She is the President of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and the Andover Art Society, a member of Society of All Artists (SAA), Society for Floral Painting (SFP) and Wallop Artists.

Willian Sidney Goodwin (1833 - 1916) - New Forest Stream (£445)
- 38 x 30.5 cm
A 19th century oil painting on panel. The majority of Goodwin's work was in the south of England, painting in both watercolour and oil. Examples of his work cover both landscape and coastal as well as inland waterways. This particular picture is of New Forest Stream, it is a well framed (not period) oil on panel, with real charm, it offers a lot more than the formulaic late 19th century landscapes so often seen by other hands. Here there is an accomplished touch to this composition and impressionistic interpretation that certainly adds a bit of magic.
