RAMSAY RICHARD REINAGLE (BRTISH 1775-1862) A HUNTING DOG HOLDING A CAT AT A BAY IN A WOODLAND, 1793 Oil on canvas Signed, dated, and inscribed 'R. R. Reinagle 1793 AE: sui 18' (centre left) 150 x 120cm (59 x 47 in.) Provenance: Sale, Christie's, London, 19 November 1982, lot 8 Sale, James Adam & Sons, Townley Hall, 10 October 2017, lot 422. Private collection, UK, acquired at the above sale Exhibited: (Probably) London, Royal Academy, 1793, n. 282, as 'Portrait of a favourite dog' Son of the painter Philipp Reinagle (1749 - 1833), Ramsay Richard executed this picture at the precocious age of 18 and had begun exhibiting at the Royal Academy five years earlier. The sure handling of composition and chiaroscuro belies the artist's youth. Taught by his father, Ramsay Richard was strongly influenced by 17th century Dutch painters of nature such as Ruisdael, Potter and Wouwerman, and he occasionally reproduced their works. Reinagle was an adept painter of animals, hunting scenes and landscapes, and the influence of these earlier artists is often detectable in his paintings during a period when earlier Dutch art was highly collectable in Britain. Adapting these modes to appeal to a contemporary audience, Reinagle made sure to depict subjects and themes which could appeal to the English country gentleman and often portrayed hunting scenes prominently featuring English breeds of dog. In this composition a water spaniel has cornered a wild cat up an oak tree and a standoff has ensued. The scene has been caught with a theatrical spotlight effect using the backdrop of a large sandstone boulder. The spaniel has chased the cat away from its prize of a dead bird which now lies before the spaniel's front paws, its feathers littering the ground. The spaniel, however, appears to be less interested in stealing the cat's kill than in enjoying having cornered the furious feline, which scrabbles and hisses angrily on a tree branch. Beneath them both the broken body of the bird lies suspended by foliage over a pool of water which separates the viewer from the battle. One might read this scene as a metaphor for the struggle between civilisation and wilderness: the well-groomed, domesticated spaniel tackling a savage, leering cat. A feather of the innocent bird dangles from the cat's claws, evidence of its crime.

The Queen's South Africa medal to Ordinary Seaman S. Austen, Royal Navy, who was killed in action at the battle of Graspan on 25 November 1899 Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 1 clasp, Belmont (187211 Ord: S. Austin, H.M.S. Monarch) impressed naming, toned, good very fine £1,200-£1,600 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Only 16 single ‘Belmont’ clasps to H.M.S. Monarch. Ordinary Seaman S. Austin was killed in action at Graspan on 25 November 1899. Four officers and 12 men of the Royal Naval Brigade were killed at Graspan, and one man died of wounds. At 7am on 25 November 1899, at Graspan, the infantry began to work forward under the cover of artillery fire. The Naval Brigade led the storming force, extended in a single line, each man six paces apart from his neighbour. As they began the ascent, advancing by brief rushes in very open order, the hill suddenly appeared to swarm with enemies; from the crest, from behind every boulder poured a murderous fire. The naval officers of the Brigade still carried swords and could be readily distinguished; they were the target of every Boer rifle. Major Plumbe of the Marines, who was gallantly leading in front of his men, closely followed into the storm of battle by his little terrier, staggered, shouting to his soldiers, not to mind him, but to advance. He never rose again. Colonel Verner, who survived the action, afterwards stated that ‘no better kept line ever went forward to death or glory’. However, so terrible was the fire and so annihilating it’s effects upon the Brigade, that the order had to be given to retire upon the last cover. For a moment it seemed as though the attack had failed. But the artillery poured its fire upon the crest of the ridge with more vehemence than ever; and up the slopes in very open order, firing and cheering, came the Yorkshire Light Infantry to the support of the hard pressed Naval Brigade, while the Loyal North Lancashire’s and Northumberland’s too, were sweeping forward upon the line of heights held by the Boers. Once more the Seamen and Marines pressed upward at an order from the wounded Captain Prothero ‘Men of the Naval Brigade, advance at the double; take that Kopje and be hanged to it.’ The men responded magnificently. For the last few yards of the advance the Boers could no longer fire with safety at their assailants. Their very position became disadvantageous as the slopes were so steep that they had to stand up to see their assailants, and in the deluge of shrapnel and rifle bullets which beat upon the summit, this meant almost certain death. Lieutenant Taylor of the Navy and Lieutenant Jones of the Marines, the last in spite of a bullet in his thigh, were the first into the Boer entrenchments at the top. They were closely followed by their men, and the Kopje was won. ‘I shall never forget the faces of some of those who had fallen in the final rush,’ said Colonel Verner, of the dead of the Naval Brigade. ‘They lay about in every attitude, many with their rifles, with bayonets fixed, tightly clutched in their hands, and in some cases still held at the charge. These were the same hard featured, clean cut faces, which but a short time before I had watched laboriously skirmishing across the veldt, now pale in death, but with the same set expression of being in terrible ernest to see the business through.’
