A Superb Selection of Scottish Art

• 

  Arthur Melville, Old Enemies.
  Estimate £40,000–60,000.

  168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Old Enemies is an important rediscovery of Arthur Melville's most significant work to date. Large in scale and ambitious in concept, it was an achievement recognised by his contemporaries, as the painting was positioned on the 'line' (eye-height) at the Royal Scottish Academy’s annual exhibition, a coveted place for artists displaying at exhibitions.

  Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell, North Wind, Iona (The Bather). Estimate £60,000–80,000.

  With the white sands, azure water and wild windswept dunes, the beaches of Iona were a paradise for painters, and during the interwar years there was a thriving artists' colony attracted to the beauty and remoteness of the island. Cadell made his first visit to Iona in 1912. Sailing with a friend around the Western Isles of Scotland he was drawn to the low-lying land that offered limitless inspiration for the artist.

  George Leslie Hunter, Still Life of Pink Roses with Fruit and a Glass. Estimate £200,000–300,000.

  168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Still Life of Pink Roses, Fruit and 🐎a Glass is likely to have been painted in the mid-1920s. At this time Hunter's still-life paintings were particularly vibrant, marked by a richness of colour and bold composition. The square-brush application of the brilliantly hued paint demonstrates Hunter’s admiration for the work of the artist Henri Matisse.

  Samuel John Peploe, Reflections.
  Estimate £50,000–70,000.

  168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Reflections was probably painted in 1907, a few years after Peploe moved to his new studio at 32 York Place in Edinburgh. The model for these pictures was probably the beautiful Peggie MacRae: ‘... a charming, witty, and attractive girl, who had the rare gift of complete grace which made her every movement interesting; she dropped naturally into poses which were balanced and harmonious and, better still, she immediately impersonated the figure she was asked to represent....’ (Stanley Cursiter)

  Anne Redpath, Roses and Sweet William.
  Estimate £100,000–150,000.

  168开奖官方开奖网站查询:This still-life is dateable to the mid-1950s when Redpath painted many of her most accomplished and beautiful pictures. Still-life painting was particularly important to Redpath and almost half of her exhibits at this time were images of flowers in pots, vases and jugs or potted plants on table-tops with various objects d’art from her own collection.

  Sir Robin Philipson, Red Poppies on a Blue Background.
  Estimate £40,000–60,000.

  “What attracted me to poppies was their splendour – the sheer power and yet the delicacy of their colour – the cold and warm reds and very subtle translucent lights.” (Sir Robin Philipson)

  Joan Eardley, Girl with a Green Scarf.
  Estimate £60,000–80,000.

  168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Girl with a Green Scarf displays Joan Eardley’s confident use of colour; the fiery red hair of the young girl creates a vibrant contrast to the ultramarine background that it is set against. The mellow green of the scarf balances these more vivacious, dynamic colours. Eardley celebrated the vibrant character of the children of Townhead, portraying them kindly but capturing the tough reality of their impoverished lives.
