Further Information & Condition Report

Discover a charming piece by British artist James Bolivar Manson (1879-1945) at Duggleby Auctioneers. This beautiful oil on canvas, titled 'Sweet Sultans and Marigolds', showcases Manson's attention to detail and vibrant use of colour.

The painting remains unsigned but features the title and date '1945' in the artist's hand on a label, both on the artwork and on the stretcher verso. Accompanied by a label from James Bourlet & Sons, this piece measures 60cm x 50cm, making it a striking addition to any art collection.

Notably, 'Sweet Sultans and Marigolds' is believed to be Manson's 1945 Royal Academy exhibit, previously known as 'Cornflowers and Marigolds'. The inclusion of sweet sultans, a variety of cornflower, adds a touch of botanical interest to the composition.

Art enthusiasts may recognise the jug featured in this painting from Manson's 1940 Royal Academy exhibit, where it appeared in 'Tulips and Daffodils'. Additionally, the distinctive blue title label seen here is a common characteristic across Manson's body of work, adding a sense of continuity to his artistic legacy.
