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.

2 CAITLIN BOWBEER GLAZED DIMPLE CUPS HAND THROWN After gaining a First Class BDes (Hons) degree in Illustration from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2016, Caitlin decided to up sticks and head down south to Brighton to gain some inspiration and a bit of sunshine. After getting stuck into a pottery studio for over a year, she turned to the (slightly cleaner) world of graphic design, working for a marketing agency for sustainable businesses. Her fondness for working with tactile materials meant that she soon returned to clay and so her days are currently spent as a potter and illustrator in her Edinburgh studio. Caitlin approaches her ceramics predominantly with form and function at the forefront, and draws inspiration from both traditional and contemporary interior design as well as colour palettes found in coastal and rural Scotland.

Y Lynne Timmington (British contemporary)Untitled, 2002Oil on canvasSigned & dated to side of canvasUnframed Lynne Timmington’s powerfully expressive contemporary seascapes draw their inspiration from the natural world, specifically the vastness of the oceans and skies, the forces of nature, and the effects of light on all of these elements. Over a 30 year career Lynne has become one of Britain’s most respected land and seascape painters, and her subtle shades and distinctive textures have led to a highly recognisable style which has won her both critical and popular acclaim. Her oil paintings have been exhibited all over the country in galleries and exhibitions including a one-woman show at The Barbican, The Festival Hall and The West of England Art Academy. Winner of the Civic Award for Services to the Arts, she has also come to the notice of many collectors around the world including Olympic swimmer and TV presenter Sharron Davies, and her work has been shown in Selfridges and Liberty’s. Her journey has been a voyage of artistic discovery. Visiting the Maldives inspired a series of exotic seascapes, and the Balaeric and Greek Islands also provided some extraordinary sunlit images, while in stark contrast, a visit to Oslo offered an atmospheric skyline heavy with mist and diffused light. At present she is absorbed with scenes that tend towards the minimal, but finds herself leaning towards a more abstract style on occasion; she enjoys expressing herself with what she describes as “less detail and greater impact.”Measures approx. 122cm x 77cm (48" x 30.5")
Cortes (Spain, b. 1963)Untitled Sailing boatsOil on canvasSigned bottom rightUnmounted & unframedCortés is a Spanish artist born in Valencia in 1963. He began law studies in his hometown, which he abandoned to devote himself exclusively to the Fine Arts. Cortés is a self-taught artist who initially came to painting with a desire to capture with his hands the innumerable natural beauties of coastal Spain and more specifically the landscapes of Valencia, the lagoon, and its beaches. A tireless traveler, over the years he has been collecting and saving images of all the cities he has visited such as Paris, Italy, Amsterdam, Casablanca, and Istanbul to later incorporate them in a very personal and free way into his paintings in oil, generically titled “Broken Landscapes” by the pictorial technique used, mainly with a palette knife. These have an impressionist style, with a range of very neutral and elegant colours that create an atmosphere in his intimate paintings. More recently, Cortés has brought his technique into a bolder, brighter, and more contemporary genre of sailing – full of energy and dynamism. He has participated in collective and private exhibitions, obtaining great admiration for the way he handles oil paint, a favourite material that very few landscape painters manage to master with the simplicity which he shows. We are thrilled to present Cortés’s vibrant sailing scenes at The Original Art Shop.Measures approx. 89.5cm x 89.5cm (35" x 35")

Y Oleg Zhivetin known as Oleg (Russian, b. 1964)MessengerGiclee print on paperLimited edition No. 155 of 195Signed & dated Mounted, framed & glazed in decorative frameWith certificate & receiptOleg Zhivetin was born on March 18, 1964 in Tashkent, Capitol of the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan, to a family of Russian painters. While still young, his family resettled in Moscow, where Oleg began his studies at age fifteen at the Moscow Academy of Art. He earned his Fine Art degree with honours, in 1982. After graduation, Oleg grew beyond his academic focus of Dutch, Flemish, Renaissance old masters, and Soviet social-realism to develop a much more individualistic and contemporary style. Oleg decided to hire one of his neighbours to sell his art on the street in order that he could earn some money to live. The artwork began to sell after a few months, and eventually, his neighbour asked him if he wanted to go to America. Oleg was given a phone number to call to arrange for this opportunity. It turns out that the telephone number belonged to a man who was looking for exceptional artists to sponsor. Needless to say, the sponsor liked what he saw in Oleg’s work. This sponsorship allowed Oleg to work in the United States under a three-month visa. He arrived in California and took some of his paintings to a Russian art dealer.Measures approx. 40cm x 40cm (16" x 16")
