Up for sale is this detailed and tentative portrait of an elegant woman in a common room or 'parlor'. By a famous English Pre-Raphaelite artist. Barked Frederick Lowcock. The woman can be seen standing before beautifully decorated interior. Some of the focuses in this painting is the stained glass window, a tall marble statue of a woman, exotic palm leaves and plants, paintings, easels, and antique furniture, a . By placing the objects in their proper places, Lowcock gave the observer a better understanding of who was being depicted in his portraits. The Royal Academy (1878–1904), Suffolk Street (1880–1892), and Thomas McLean's gallery (1892) all hosted Lowcock exhibitions. A number of biographical dictionaries, notably Benezit and Wood's Dictionary of Victorian Painters, which features an image of his work, mention Lowcock as an artist. The abbreviation CF Lowcock RBA, which stands for Royal Society of British Artists, is sometimes used to refer to Charles Frederick Lowcock.

'Silent Exultation' Oil on Canvas, 23x22â€

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY In “My Best Friend” Girard has captured a tender symbiotic relationship between the woman and her sweet pet. The entire piece swirls with the soft beauty and magical exchange shared by the two individuals. The frame does not enclose so much as enfolds the scene and its decorations are an integral part of the work. Upon close inspection tiny animal figures cavort in the air adding to the spell - almost like fairy characters from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night Dream.” The jewelry is beautifully render as are the loving expressions of the faces of both the animal and the woman. The composition is filled with objects and figures but captured softly and in rich detail. The figures appear to be completely self-absorbed and the decorative elements about their heads could suggest the intensity of their thoughts and feelings. Girard was a Detroit figurative painter and teacher at College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan where he taught for 30 years. Other College for Creative Studies (formerly Center for Creative Studies) faculty and graduates include Richard Jerzy, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing (currently director of Lucas Film), Stephen Dinehart (game maker, writer, designer connected with The David Lynch Foundation), Tyree Guyton (international artist), Herb Babcock, Jerome Feretti, Kevin Siembieda (writer, designer and publisher of role-playing games), Renee Radell, Philip Pearlstein, Charles McGee (nationally recognized African American sculptor of animal and dancing spirits), Philip Pearlstein (2000 Honorary Doctorate, Modern Realism style), and John Louis Krieger...

Louisa Starr 1845 - 1909 Portrait of a Young Woman Oil on canvas, monogrammed Image size: 8 ½ x 6 ¼ inches (22 x 16 cm) Pre-Raphaelite style frame Provenance Family Estate Christies Private Estate This rare beautiful portrait is clearly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, who were friends of Louisa Starr. The Pre-Raphaelites often included symbolic elements in their work, and the background of ivy in this painting, symbolising everlasting life, is a reference to that. This is an early work by Starr as she uses her monogram of a letter L with a star, which can be seen bottom right. The photograph below shows the painting in her studio, top left. The Artist Louisa Starr was born in Liverpool of American descent. Starr attended Heatherley's Art School. During this period artistic training was dominated by the Royal Academy Schools, which gave students a rigorous grounding in life-drawing and painting, presided over by Frederick Leighton and staffed by some of the leading artists of the time. Competition to enter the RA schools was very great, and at sixteen Louisa Starr became the youngest student ever to attend, being one of two students selected out of thirty eight entrants. The fact that she was a woman is very significant. She signed her work 'L Starr' so that her gender was not apparent, and when her identity became known, she was told that it was not permitted by the constitution to admit female students. (Women had attended the RA Schools before but not in any great number and not for some time). When she asked to see the clause, it could not be found, and they ended up admitting six women students so that they could chaperone each other. She had an outstanding career as a student, winning a Silver medal for the best copy of Murillo's 'Beggars' in 1865 - which was the first medal ever awarded by the RA to a woman, and a Gold medal for the most successful historical painting in 1867. She met her future husband, Enrico Canziani, an Italian cousin, whilst visiting relatives in Italy. Her independent outlook and progressive thinking were somewhat at odds with traditional Italian village life, but Enrico understood and encouraged her work by setting up a studio space and helping to find local models for her to paint. He was a civil engineer, who had built a sugar refinery in Italy and established paper-mills and chemical product factories. They married in Dover in 1882, when Starr was thirty seven, and her attitude to life and work continued to be assertive and uncompromising. For example, she removed the 'obey' from the marriage service, and it was decided that she would continue to live and work in England, and Enrico would be the one to move. He settled in England, but as much of his business was in Italy he continued to visit at least three times a year. Their daughter Estella was born in 1887. She became a portrait and landscape painter, an interior decorator and a travel writer and folklorist. Estella reports that her mother dreamed of an ideal house and recognised it while driving in Kensington Gardens, seeing a board up advertising it to let. She telegraphed to her husband to come back from Paris and they secured the property just five minutes ahead of a gentleman who was also waiting for the office to open. Estella was born there two years later. The address was 3 Palace Green, Kensington. Louisa was good friends with many of the prominent artists of the day including Frederick Lord Leighton, Val Princep and his family who lived next door to Leighton as well as G F Watts...

Adolphus M. Madot Circa 1833 - 1861 Oil on canvas Image size: 36 x 24 inches (91.4 x 61 cm) Arched Pre-Raphaelite style frame The subject of the present picture is the dialogue between the court jester Touchstone and the shepherd Corin in the Forest of Arden ( As You Like It, Act III, scene 2). The work of William Shakespeare 'As You Like It' was a popular literary source in Pre-Raphaelite circles, inspiring such artists as John Everett Millais, Walter Howell Deverell and Arthur Hughes. The present picture is comparable in style to the work of Edward W. Rainford and Henry Stacy Marks...
