Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale - Charity ...
["The Greatest of these is Charity"]
signed E F BRICKDALE l.l.
19 x 10.5"
Watercolour heightened with bodycolour
.
I can't find this in colour, but it is too good not to feature. I did find two other works that I hadn't seen before whilst trying to find this:
[Love and his Counterfeits]
Christie's London: Friday, November 8, 1996
Pencil and Watercolor w/scratching out, laid down on canvas
[Rosamond]
Sotheby's London: Tuesday, June 8, 1999
Oil on Canvas
Edward Reginald Frampton - St Catherine
1902
oil on canvas
.
Frampton's father was a maker of stained glass and his paintings usually religious in theme have some of the same qualities. He was influenced by Burne-Jones.
John Frederick Lewis photograph
My friend Enzie on her lovely Orientalist Gallery blog often features work by this significant artist
1805 - 1876.
Lewis was a painter in oils and watercolours of animals, Spanish and Eastern subjects. He travelled a great deal and spent 11 years in R%ome and 10 years in Cairo.
Though yhis albumen print seems to have been taken in London he still assumed the dress. In those days he was one of those Englishmen who had gone 'native' as Kipling and others described.
