The Collection of Charlie Watts.
Charlie Watts, the legendary drummer of The Rolling Stones, was renowned not only for his musical prowess but also for his profound affection for animals, particularly Collies. He and his wife, Shirley, resided at Halsdon Manor in Devon, where they managed a stud farm for Arabian horses. Their estate was also home to numerous dogs, reflecting their deep commitment to animal welfare.
Lilian Cheviot (fl. 1894–1924) was a British painter best known for her highly detailed and affectionate portrayals of animals, particularly dogs. Active during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, she exhibited her work at prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts (1895–1899) and the Royal Society of British Artists.
Cheviot trained at Frank Calderon’s School of Animal Painting and later at Walter Donne's life school, where she refined her naturalistic style. Her paintings often featured purebred dogs—such as St. Bernards, Collies, and Terriers—rendered with both anatomical precision and emotional warmth. These works were widely admired and frequently reproduced in prints, postcards, and publications such as The Idler and The Illustrated London News.
One of her best-known pieces, "On the Watch", is a quintessential example of her skill in capturing the character and presence of her animal subjects.
Lilian Cheviot's work remains a favorite among collectors of canine art, and she is regarded as an important figure in the tradition of British animal painting.

Provenance
The Collection of Charlie Watts.
Charlie Watts, the legendary drummer of The Rolling Stones, was renowned not only for his musical prowess but also for his profound affection for animals, particularly Collies. He and his wife, Shirley, resided at Halsdon Manor in Devon, where they managed a stud farm for Arabian horses. Their estate was also home to numerous dogs, reflecting their deep commitment to animal welfare.
John Emms was a British artist best known for his dynamic and characterful paintings of dogs, especially working breeds like foxhounds, terriers, and collies. Born in Blofield, Norfolk, in 1843, Emms developed a deep connection to the countryside and rural life, which became the heart of his artistic inspiration.
While he painted horses and hunting scenes, it was his dog portraits that brought him enduring recognition. Emms had a remarkable ability to capture the individuality and spirit of each animal, portraying them not just as pets or working animals, but as noble and expressive beings. His brushwork was confident and lively, and he often painted dogs with a sense of pride, intelligence, and dignity.
Among the many breeds he painted, collies held a special place. Emms portrayed them with great sensitivity, often emphasizing their alert expressions, soft coats, and loyal nature. His collie paintings...
