Jacques-Emile Blanche (1861-1942)
Impressionist Floral Bouquet
This superb Edwardian floral oil painting is by noted French Impressionist artist Jacques-Emile Blanche. From 1884 Blanche spent a lot of time in England and regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy. Painted circa 1910 the composition is a stunning Impressionist painting depicting a vast mixed floral bouquet in a vibrant blue vase on a table. Included in the floral arrangement are white and yellow dahlias, blue cornflowers and orange crocosmia. The brushwork and heavy impasto are superb. An incredible painting with a stunning wide palette of blues to oranges and an excellent example of Blanche’s work.
This vibrant French Art Deco floral oil painting is by noted French artist Jacques Emile Blanche. Painted circa 1930, the palette is of wonderful tones of yellow and orange with splashes of green and typical Blanche heavy impasto. The composition is a floral bouquet consisting of sunflowers, red hot pokers and dahlias against an orange and gold background and in a stunning black and gold vase. This is an excellent radiant example of Blanche's work and a good size.
This charming British Victorian oil painting is by noted artist Albert Chevallier Tayler. Painted in 1896 the composition is four women in a sitting room. One young woman is holding up sheer fabric that she is planning to use for a new dress. She is watched by two more young women and an older lady as they consider her choice. A hat box of ribbons lies on the floor. This is a lovely dynamic figurative interior painting telling a story of dress making at home and a young woman's hopes and dreams of a new dress, maybe even a wedding dress. The is also an excellent example of Victorian art and of Tayler's work.
This lovely British Edwardian portrait oil painting is by noted artist William Henry Margetson. He was known for his aesthetic full-length portraits of women, often in hats, in an interior, perhaps arranging flowers. Our painting is perhaps more natural and charming and painted circa 1901. A dark-haired young woman is perched on the wall of her house, next to some fishing nets drying. The house abutts the harbour and the sea can be seen coming up to the wall. She is dressed in a red and white check dress and lilac cardigan and is gazing towards the water as if willing her lover to sail into the harbour and home. Beyond her, green leaded windows are open and a mass of wild flowers grow out of the wall below. More cottages can be seen as well as a rowing boat pulled out of the water. The little details and brushwork are just superb. A really lovely Edwardian portrait and an excellent example of Margetson's work.

This lovely Scottish Impressionist Victorian coastal oil painting is by noted artist Joseph Henderson. Painted circa 1880, the composition is a coastal seascape with three children in the foreground gathering driftwood. Beyond them are choppy waves, seagulls wheeling and a couple of boats under a sunny sky. Henderson's Impressionistic brushwork is superb and show influences of William McTaggart and the heavy white impasto on the crest of the waves is perfect. The contrast between the beach, sea and sky is to great effect. This is an excellent Scottish Impressionist painting with interesting subject matter and a superb example of Joseph Henderson's work.
Happy Mother's Day. The weather here in the UK is improving, the hens are laying and the wallflowers are out in the garden. Spring is on its way.
Andrew Law (1873-1967)
Wallflowers Floral Still Life
This rich and vibrant Scottish still life oil painting is by noted Scottish artist Andrew Law. It was painted circa 1920 and has a Glasgow Club exhibition label verso entitling the painting The Lustre Jug. The composition is an arrangement of orange, yellow and red wallflowers in a superb decorative lustre jug. The flowers are so rich in colour against a dark green background and the jug gleaming in the light. This is a great example of Scottish art from the twenties and an excellent example of Andrew Law's work.
