Edward Pritchett (British, 1828-1864) - A Side Canal, Venice with Figures - a 19th century watercolour on paper painting. Unsigned. With original identification and authentication label to reverse. Framed in gilt wood frame. Measures approx. 25cm x 34cm. Edward Pritchett was a painter of Venetian scenes. He worked in both oils and watercolours and nearly all his pictures were of Venice, but he did paint occasional English views. Pritchett is now considered to be one of the finest painters of Venice of the Victorian era. His artistic imagination was inspired by the atmosphere and daily life of the city. His works are painted in a lively, fresh, often almost impressionistic manner and few artists have better captured the changing light effects and vivacity of the Venetian scene. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1828 and 1849, the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists. Pritchett's paintings are represented in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Manchester Museum and Art Gallery and the National Gallery Dublin.

Margaret WARDMAN (XX-XXI) St Ives Pastel with graphite Signed and dated '89 25cm x 38cm, 37.5cm x 50.5cm framed Shipping is available from £32.50 to a UK Mainland address. Margaret Wardman (née Shuttleworth) Margret Wardman (1922–2020), born, West Riding of Yorkshire, studied Fine Art at Bradford and Leeds Colleges of Art during WW11. In wartime, she also specialised in weaving at the Ministry of Pensions Hospital, Occupational Therapy Department, Eden Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland. Followed by an appointment at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield as an Occupational Therapist whilst fitting in three summers farming in Warwickshire and Worcestershire drawing subject matter for the painting Harvest Group. Post war, teaching art in schools in Accrington and Manchester. Through the strong, professional interconnections with artists in the North of England and its principal art galleries and museums, Margret’s paintings and drawings of the 1940’s and 50’s saw her visual language and modernist, artistic style grow in confidence and maturity. Her paintings were shown and regularly highlighted in reviews in group exhibitions such as the ‘Yorkshire Artists Exhibition’, the Annual West Riding Artists Exhibition’ and ‘Artists with North Country Associations’ at Bradford, Leeds, Manchester and Wakefield City Art Galleries. Painting and family life ran parallel, expecting the first of three children, sketching subject matter for the oil painting, Buck’s Mills whilst on holiday in Devon. Involvement with Otley and Ilkley arts Clubs at that time provided further opportunities to exhibit and develop her talent. The family’s civil engineering business brought about a move and a period of four decades living on the Somerset levels. There a new focus for drawing and recording the architectural specialisms of the level’s historic, Dutch style houses emerged along with commissions for illustrations for local businesses. A more personal, intimate, domestic subject matter flowed through her flower studies integrated with her gardens. Margaret’s later paintings, she settled in Cornwall from 2006, rediscover her own pictorial language and formative experiences. As Barbara Hepworth noted in 1939-40, ‘the deep connectivity with the Cornish landscape and the Yorkshire Moors’ meant, for Margaret, her continued exploration of modernism and strong pictorial form - planar space, structure, composition, line, painted mark with colour which the earlier canvases had produced.
