Richard Hayley Lever
Early evening twilight Impressionist landscape scene of a Cornish Village oil.

About the Item

English Impressionist landscape/Town scene of a Cornish town, possibly Newlyn. An Australian by birth, Richard Hayley Lever left his native Adelaide at the age of 17 to train as an artist in Europe, and his work soon won attention in London and Paris. In 1900 he was introduced to the St Ives Club by fellow Australian Louis Grier, and he married Aida Gale in the town in the same year. Working closely with Grier and with Julius Olsson he maintained St Ives as a base, while also painting marine subjects along the southern coast of England and in Brittany. In 1912 Hayley Lever move to New York and took American citizenship. His paintings of the Hudson Valley, Vermont, and Nantucket secured an international reputation. This is the history of the stamp on the reverse of the painting. W.H.Lane the auctioneers. The auctioneer's note put this sale in perspective: 'Unbelievably, these paintings lay unstretched, collecting dust for approximately eighty years, in a Cornish attic, until their recent discovery. It is most unusual to be able to offer some sixty unknown and unseen works by an artist of such international repute' This is a very nice example of the artist's work. It is perfect for many different rooms of a home such as a dining room, hallway, bedroom, family room, study and den.

  • Early 20th Century Mission San Juan Capistrano - Figurative Landscape
    By Warren E. Rollins
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Stunning figurative landscape of the Mission San Juan Capistrano by Warren Eliphalet Rollins (American, 1861-1962). Presented in a giltwood frame. "Capistrano" lower right, unsigned. This is a study for a larger painting of the same scene. Image size, 14.5"H x 21"W. For many years Warren Eliphalet Rollins was known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe art colony." He was the first artist to have a formal exhibition there; it was held in 1906 in the old Palace of the Governors. He was a close friend of Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, Sheldon Parsons and most of the other famous artists who assembled in the New Mexican capital during the first half of this century. Born in Carson City, Nevada, Rollins was raised in California and attended the San Francisco School of Design where he studied under Virgil Williams. At the completion of his studies, he was awarded the Avery Gold Medal and made Assistant Director of the school. Following his marriage in 1887, he and his wife settled in San Diego, and it was during this period that Rollins became interested in the Indian as subject matter. In search of material, Rollins, his wife, and their two daughters, Ramona and Ruth, traveled through every Western state from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. While in Montana, Rollins painted a portrait of Calamity Jane...
