The British, European & Sporting Art Sale sees a host of good genre paintings, depicting scenes from everyday life. Leading this group of paintings, which includes numerous works from a private collection, is an impressive scene by Italian artist Vittorio Reggianini (1868-1939). Afternoon Tea with the Little Lady illustrates Reggianini’s preferred subject matter of the upper middle classes relaxing in opulent interiors, and his mastery of painting fine silks and satins. Further interesting genre pieces include Cricketers by Thomas Webster (1800-1886), Timing the Exposure by Charles Bertrand D’Entraygues (1850-1928), and “Quai de la Megissenie” by Eugene Galien-Laloue (1854-1941). Also of note in the sale is an impressive pair of still life paintings of fruit and flowers by Dutch artist Jacobus Linthorst (1784-1815). The picturesque canals of Venice are a perennially popular subject in paintings, and two good Venetian scenes by Antoine Bouvard (19th/20th Century) are also included in the sale.
