.Our quarterly Fine Paintings sale showcases a curated selection of quality works spanning British, European and maritime art, bringing together celebrated names, important Yorkshire painters and fresh-to-market private collections. With strong provenance throughout and a catalogue rich in atmosphere, narrative and technical skill, the sale offers collectors the opportunity to acquire works ranging from intimate Staithes Group studies and dramatic marine scenes to accomplished Victorian figure paintings and Continental oils.
At the heart of the auction is an outstanding collection of works by Frank Henry Mason, including the atmospheric After the Gale – Whitby, striking Mediterranean scenes painted during and just after the First World War, and a large Venetian lagoon watercolour. The Staithes Group is further represented by notable works from Joseph Richard Bagshawe, Mark Senior, Florence Adelina Hess, Robert Jobling, Arthur A Friedenson, Albert George Stevens and John Spence Ingall, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire paintings connected to one of Britain’s most distinctive artistic communities.
Elsewhere, the catalogue ranges from the drama of maritime painting to intimate rural and interior scenes. Highlights include Harry Becker’s evocative Shepherd and his Flock, a superb pair of marine oils by John Ward of Hull, Thomas Rose Miles’ glowing Isle of Man sunset scene Sundown – Peel, and a charming early 19th century naïve portrait of a young boy. Collectors will also find works by Thomas Bush Hardy, Charles Napier Hemy, Henry Redmore, Paul Marny, George Weatherill and John Wilson Carmichael, alongside Continental paintings by artists including Francesco Vinea, Giuseppe Riva and Stefano Novo.
Rich in coastal views, harbour scenes, sporting subjects, portraiture and Yorkshire landscapes, this carefully curated sale offers depth, quality and provenance throughout, appealing to both established collectors and new buyers alike. Browse the complete collection and place your bids.
