About the Item

William Frederick Hulk British/Dutch, (1852-1922) Cattle Watering Oil on board, signed Image size: 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches Size including frame: 13 inches x 10 inches A charming small scale rural scene of cattle at a river by William Frederick Hulk. Two cows drink the water whilst others graze in the meadow behind them. William Frederick Hulk was a landscape artist born in Holland in 1852, adopting England as his country after moving there as a young man. He was born into a family of artists: he was the son of the Dutch marine and canal scene artist Abraham Hulk Senior (1813 - 1897) and the brother of Abraham Hulk Jnr 1851-1922). His uncle, Johannes (John) Frederick Hulk (1829 - 1911) was a canal and townscape painter. His father travelled widely even going to America before settling in London in 1870 with William and his brother Abraham. William was taught art by his father and he soon became a well-regarded landscape artist and was a prolific exhibitor. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1876 to 1898 sometimes showing as many as 7 paintings a year. He also exhibited may works at the Royal Society of British Artists, the New Watercolour Society and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. He lived in Guildford and painted many scenes of the surrounding Surrey countryside. He specialised in paintings of rural landscapes usually with the inclusion of cattle, and the play of light upon water such as this lovely example. A number of his works can be found at various museums and art galleries including the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, Brighton and Hove Museums and Art Galleries and the Haworth Art Gallery. Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished. © Benton Fine Art

    Charles Augustus Henry LUTYENS (1829 – 1915, British) On the Scent c.1880 Unframed 50 x 84 inches Framed 64 x 98 inches Oil on Canvas Signed Provenance: Possibly commissioned by George William Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry (1838-1930); thence by family descent; Croome Court House Sale, Worcestershire 1948 Lord Coventry was a keen huntsman having founded the North Cotswold Hunt in 1867 and in 1882 The Croome. Besides founding two Hunts, he also held the unique distinction of owning racehorses that won two Grand Nationals in consecutive years. Daphne Moore, the hunting correspondent writing about the Croome Hounds c.1950, emphasised the influence of Rambler as a perfect type of hound. ‘Who could have dreamed that in 1949 well-bred hounds in almost every kennel in England would have at least a trace of Rambler’s blood in their veins?’ … to the hound man The Croome and the name Coventry immediately recalls Rambler. Anyone who has seen his portrait by Lutyens, will remember him as being the perfect type of hound for any country…’ Charles Lutyens the artist spent his early adult life in the Army, joining the 20th foot and siled with them in 1850 to serve in Canada. In 1857 he left the army to take up life as a professional artist. He based himself at Onslow Square...
