Est: £1,000 - £1,500
AMBROSE MCEVOY (BRITISH 1878-1927)PORTRAIT OF A LADYInk and watercolour49 x 35cm (19¼ x 13¾ in.)Born in Wiltshire in 1877, McEvoy's talent was recognised by artist James McNeil Whistler early on, and he enrolled at the Slade School of Fine art in London at just fifteen. His early works of interiors and landscapes showed a fine technical skill, developed from Whistler's influence, but by the mid-1910s the artist turned to portraiture. After the war, McEvoy became well known for his watercolours of high-society women, with some, like this piece, characterised by a sketchy and rapid style, where his 'non-finito' attitude is certainly made clear. The delicate nature with which he captures his subjects enables them to possess an ethereal quality, the form distorted but still able to be made out. Known for capturing women with both a sense of beauty and substance, his works range from romantic to refined, yet all capture femininity in an effortless manner, for which he has been praised. In 1924 he became an associate of the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and in 1926 the Royal Watercolour Society, he exhibited works at the Grosvenor, Grafton and Leister Galleries during his lifetime.

(the second): Anon. sale, Phillips, London, 6 October 1998, lot 296. Note: McEvoy studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, having been encouraged to do so by James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), a friend of his father who had spotted McEvoy's talent at a young age. It was at the Slade that McEvoy came into contact with artists including William Orpen (1878-1931), Augustus John (1878-1961), and Gwen John (1876-1939), with whom he had an ill-fated affair. McEvoy travelled to Dieppe with Walter Sickert (1860-1942) in 1909, and it is presumably from this trip that the present sketch of the town originates. Despite being a highly versatile artist, he became known later in his career for his portraits, with his notably loose approach imparting his subjects with a striking sense of character and presence.

Arthur Ambrose McEvoy ARA (1878-1927)
Est: £800 - £1,200
Arthur Ambrose McEvoy ARA (1878-1927) Head of a Girl watercolour 31 x 22cm Provenance: With Beaux Arts Gallery, London Recognised for his artistic abilities and encouraged to pursue his talents from a young age, it is hardly surprising that Arthur Ambrose McEvoy became an artist. The son of renowned Scottish engineer, Captain Charles Ambrose McEvoy, Arthur McEvoy received early support and tuition from his father’s close friend, James Abbott McNeil Whistler. At fifteen years of age, already a proficient painter and inspired by Whistler, McEvoy enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art. Whilst studying at the Slade, between 1893 and 1898, McEvoy became closely associated with William Orpen and Augustus John and would later engage in an unhappy affair with John’s elder sister, Gwen. Though the events of the affair remain shrouded by a veil of secrecy, comparisons between the painterly works of McEvoy and Gwen John can be easily drawn. In his early career, no doubt influenced by his period studying in Dieppe under Walter Sickert, McEvoy established himself as a painter of genre scenes and urban landscapes. By the mid-1910s, however, McEvoy’s practice became increasingly inclined towards portraiture, and it is for his depictions of society women that he would ultimately gain recognition and critical success. Praised for his ability to capture the essence and character of his sitters, McEvoy’s technical process, as demonstrated by the present lot, was remarkably radical and innovative. Using damp rags and sponges, occasionally even holding his painted canvases beneath running taps, McEvoy was able create truly modern works, animated by both the spirit of the sitter and the artist.
