William Henry Pike Original, 1892
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
William Henry Pike (British, 18461908). Georgian Gentleman in an Alehouse, signed and dated Pike '89 lower left. Oil on panel. Painting: 12 x 8 in. Frame: 20.5 x 16.5 in. Provenance: From the estate of a distinguished Georgia physician, whose collection of fine art, antiques, jewelry, and decorative objects was carefully assembled over a period of decades. A finely executed late Victorian genre scene by British painter William Henry Pike, depicting an elegantly dressed Georgian gentleman reclining in a tavern or alehouse interior. Seated beside a table bearing a tankard and glass, the figure appears deep in contemplationor perhaps wearied by the effects of drinkcaptured with Pike's characteristic attention to narrative detail and expressive character. The richly painted costume, including embroidered coat, waistcoat, breeches, and stockings, contrasts effectively with the subdued interior setting. Executed with confident brushwork and a warm, restrained palette, the composition exemplifies the artist's successful genre paintings of historical and theatrical subjects produced during the late nineteenth century. William Henry Pike was a respected British painter of landscape, marine, and genre subjects who exhibited widely throughout England and became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1889. His works frequently depict historical figures, coastal life, and narrative interior scenes. Condition: Oil on panel. Surface presents well with stable paint layers and no apparent areas of active flaking or restoration visible under normal examination. Minor surface grime and light age-related varnish discoloration. Frame with scattered losses, repairs, fill, and inpainting to the gilded composition ornament, particularly along the lower molding and corners. The panel appears stable within the frame. Expect to pay $2,500 and up in a gallery.

Dadd, British 1879-1914- Dublin welcomes the King and Queen; and Highlanders salute the King at Dalkeith; each pencil, pen, and black ink heightened with white on paper, the first signed with initials 'S.T.D.' (lower left), the second signed with initials and inscribed 'S.T.D from sketch / by J.D.' (lower right), the first bears blindstamp for 'REYNOLDS'S BRISTOL BOARD' (lower left), the first 30.7 x 35.9 cm., the second 27.6 x 37.8 cm.; Frank Gillett, RI, Irish 1874-1927- The King & Queen drive through Hyde Park; pencil, pen, black ink and wash on paper, signed 'FRANK GILLETT' (lower left), 29.9 x 30.3 cm.; and Douglas MacPherson, British 1871-1951- A pair depicting New Colours Marching Past; of pencil, pen, and black ink on paper, one signed 'D. MACPHERSON' (lower right) and inscribed 'Onward Christian Soldier' (in pencil, lower centre), each 15 x 26 cm., nine overall (9), (part mounted / unframed). Note: 'The Graphic' was the leading illustrated paper of Victorian and Edwardian England. Founded in 1869 by an artist engraver, William Luson Thomas (1830-1900), in its heyday the paper sold hundreds of thousands of copies weekly and employed over a thousand people. The number and quality of the artists employed on the staff of 'The Graphic' was unprecedented on any periodical before or since. Although photography existed and developed considerably during the paper's history, the ability of its small army of artist reporters and engravers to capture the detailed life and atmosphere of a scene meant that pen and ink continued to reign supreme in illustrated periodicals until the late 1920s. Indeed, the present group of pictures provides a fascinating snapshot of one of the most important periods in the paper's history: the death of Queen Victoria and the long-awaited accession of Edward VII.
