An early sketch by the master landscape painter John Constable (1776-1837), not previously recorded in literature on the artist, will be on offer in the sale. The sketch has emerged from a private family collection in North Yorkshire and will be sold with an estimate of £150,000-200,000 (plus buyer’s premium).
The sale will also include paintings with provenance from the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire of Charlton Park, a Private Collection from Victoria Lodge, Tweedsmuir, Biggar and the Property of Sir Brooke Boothby, removed from Fonmon Castle, Glamorgan. Originally built by the St John family c. 1180, Fonmon Castle was sold to Colonel Philip Jones, Oliver Cromwell’s Comptroller of Household during the Civil War. Jones enlarged the castle, and later his descendant, Robert Jones III, converted it into a Georgian mansion with Rococo interiors, uniquely without changing the outer walls. The Jones family line having failed during the First World War, the Castle passed to Oliver Henry Jones’ great niece Clara, Lady Boothby, who brought with her many possessions of the ancient Boothby and Valpy families. The property has since passed by descent.
Further notable paintings on offer from other vendors in the sale include Still life of assorted Summer flowers in a glazed vase before a window by Dorothea Sharp, “The Church of Santa Maria della Salute, Venice” by Antoinetta Brandeis and a fine marine painting, “Westward & Britannia Racing off the Royal Yacht Squadron, Isle of Wight” by Richard Firth.
