Duncan Grant (1885-1978) SPRING FLOWERS CHARLESTON signed and dated '49, 50 x 40cm Provenance: A private collection; from which acquired by the present vendor. Duncan Grant often used other artist's pictures as a background for his still lifes. In this case he has chosen the lower right corner of a large painting by Vanessa Bell, The Other Room which also appears in another still life of about 1955 that was exhibited at The Art of Bloomsbury, Tate, 1999, Catalogue no 148. For a number of years Bell's painting was in the studio that she shared with Grant at their Sussex home, Charleston, propped against the wall on top of a chest of drawers. We are grateful for the assistance of Richard Shone and Wendy Hitchmough in the cataloguing of this lot. ++In fine condition.

Attributed to Augustus Edwin John R.A., P.R.P., R.Cam.A., N.E.A.C., L.G. (19th/20th century) A Lady Seated Reading beside a Fire Above an Estuary, another figure standing nearby Oil on canvas board, 30cm by 40cm (11 3/4in by 15 3/4in) The present work is extremely similar in style to some of John's plein air work, which was often partially done on the spot and later finished in the studio. The work is tentatively attributed to the painter as there are no traces of a signature or inscriptions and sadly no provenance exists. A parallel can also be drawn to the hand of Vanessa Bell (nee Stephen), who was also a figurative painter and painted still life subjects too. She also designed carpets, pottery and book jackets and was the daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen and elder sister of Virginia Woolf. See illustration
