Christopher Wood (1901-1930) "Footbridge on the Seine" Signed and dated 1924, pen and ink, 19.5cm by 30cm Provenance: The Redfern Gallery, London, Purchaser R. Gathorne-Hardy Esq., January 1945 The Estate of Mrs Markova Noel Loaned to Sheffield Museums Trust Christopher Wood (1901-1903), in his short life, became held in high regard amongst artistic circles in both London and Paris, being now remembered as a youthful genius.Born near Liverpool, he began drawing whilst recovering from septicaemia aged 14. After studying architecture and medicine for just a year at university, he moved to London in 1920. Here he met an art collector, who invited him to Paris, where he studied drawing a the Académie Julien.He was drawn effortlessly into fashionable artistic circles, where he met Augustus John and the diplomat Antonio de Gandarillas, whom he moved in with and was supported by. Gandarillas also introduced him to the likes of Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and George Auric, along with opium. Following the last-minute cancellation of a commission for designs for the Ballets Russe, Wood moved back to London, becoming first a member of the exhibiting collectives the London Group, and then the Seven and Five Society.Formatively, he exhibited with Ben and Winifred Nicholson in 1927, with whom he would become close friends. Wood accompanied the Nicholsons on painting trips to Cumberland and Cornwall, and in St. Ives discovered Alfred Wallis, whose ‘primitive’ expressionism helped him develop his own style.In 1929 he was given a solo show at Arthur Tooth & Sons, and a rather less successful joint exhibition with Ben Nicholson in Paris. Having had a painting expedition to Brittany, the resulting paintings were due to be exhibited at Wertheim Gallery in London. However, Wood was struck by a train whilst travelling back from meeting his mother, thought to be suicide brought on by psychosis, despite being reported as an accident at the time. Posthumously, his work was widely exhibited. The piece is on buff paper. Slight cockling to the paper. There are black lines to the outer edges in places. Slight time staining to the paper and the odd minor sporadic foxing spot in places, for example to the right corner of the top edge, to the knee of the figure left corner. Not examined out of the frame. (see images).

Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915) “Kitty Smith” or “Kate in the Hall” Pen and ink, 15cm by 9.5cmHenri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915) was born in France, and as a teenager moved to the South West of England to study English business methods, staying with the Smith family in Bristol. Having moved to Cardiff in 1908, on a return visit to the Smiths the following year he drew Kitty in her new best dress and presented her with the resulting picture “Kitty Smith” or “Kate in the Hall”.In a letter from Roger Cole to the vendor, he noted how Kitty kept the drawing (and a photo of the artist) as a memento of their time together for the rest of her life. Though he moved to Cardiff in 1908, Kitty always maintened that the picture was done on his final visit to the family in 1909. On which occasion, Kitty wore her best dress especially for their visitor.

Provenance: the Artist, gifted to Joy Brownlow, who in turn gifted it to Marjorie H. Hiley, from whom it was acquired by our consignor. Brownlow, known as ‘Brownie,’ was the County Camp Advisor for the Windermere Girl Guides, who arranged regular visits to Potter's properties in the Lake District for camping and admiring her work. Potter frequently gave the Guides autographed copies of her books to give as prizes in their competitions, and joined in their activities while on the properties. Hiley, of Kendal, South Lakeland District, Cumbria, took over from Brownlow as captain of the Guides in 1947 and remained leader until she retired 30 years later. Comment(s): Our example is similar to and compares favorably with “Study of a Pink Rose Stem,” an unsigned and undated watercolor and ink drawing, sold for $5,990 (£4,375) at Sotheby’s London, 7/12/2016, lot #238. Potter was interested in every branch of natural science save astronomy and shared a passion with most Victorians for botany. Over the years she drew and painted her specimens with increasing skill, abandoning most work in this area beginning with the publication of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” in 1902. She became internationally famous for her stories that 'humanized' animals such as Mrs. Tiggy Winkle, the hedgehog, and the garden thieving Peter Rabbit. This image is now in the public domain.
