Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Angels

[Angels Watching the Crown of Thorns and the Rod with which Christ was Scourged]

oil on canvas

painted in 1848 when Rossetti was working in the studio of Ford Madox Brown. It seems to be unfinished in parts. It was rediscoverec in the 70's and offered for auction at Sotherby's in 2006.

G. F. Watts - portrait

[portrait of Miss Chariclea Ionides, later Dannreuther]

oval, oil on panel laid on panel

.

Chariclea was the fifth and last child of Alexander Constantine and Euterpe Ionides and was born in 1844. This was painted about 1849. She married the pianist Edward Dannreuther in 1871.

William Holman Hunt - portrait

thought to be of Isabella Waugh

oil on canvas

painted about 1866 and seems to have been unfinished before he set out for his trip to the Holy Land. He may just have run out of time. Isabella was one of the Waugh sisters, of which Hunt married two - Fanny (who died in 1866) and later Edith (in 1875). In English law this was technically illegal and the Waugh family were opposed to it.

Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys - Portrait of Mrs Christy

[Portrait of Mrs Christy and her two sons, Stephen and Basil]

signed F Sandys 1900 l.l.

coloured chalks over traces of pencil on a backboard

.

Mrs Christy was the daughter of Admiral Sir G. Phipps Hornby.

She married Henry Edmund Christy (1865 - 1931) of Lordington, Emsworth, near Chichester.

Both these sons died in the Great War (WWI). Apparently the two boys were rather troublesome during the sitting, particularly Stephen who kept turning his head away.

Stephen was born in 1896, Basil the year after.
