An excellent amateur oil painting of Buckpasser, the 1966 Horse of the Year. The artist is Anna Whitehead, an Australian amateur equine painter. We love this painting for it’s simplicity. It’s a typical example of equine portraits...

A wonderful large portrait of a bloodhound, painted in sepia tones in oils on canvas, signed and dated 19 May 1915. The painting was produced in Australia. This date and location is significant to the symbolism of the painting. After Sir Edwin Landseer...

This small but lovely work is an excellent example of Montgomery's joyfully experimental modernism. It is a sketch in oil on composition board. A table and jug are heavily outlined. The shape of a white seashell is superimposed, with a ghostly idea of it's internal spiral and speckled surface sketched in. The table surface is covered in sgraffito curls while heavy brush strokes build texture in the background. Montgomery's painting vibrates with lively observations of colour and texture. It was purchased from the artist's own studio (the address is penciled on the back) for a single owner collection, then passed down by descent. Anne Montgomery has for many years been one of the women artists Australia forgot. Not any more. Along with the likes of Clarice Beckett...

Anne Montgomery has been considered for many years one of the women artists Australia forgot. Not any more. Along with the likes of Clarice Beckett and Lina Bryans, her work is now recognised as an important part of Australian modernism. The breadth and quality of Montgomery's work over a long lifetime has always been appreciated by other artists. As Australian women artists in the mid Century period were relegated to the fringes of the establishment, they freely explored their own vision and developed their own style. Montgomery's work richly deserves the attention it's now receiving. This work shows Montgomery's unique perception and expression of colour in the Australian landscape. Her use of oil on board gives her work a robust structure but the inclusion of ink sketching in the work gives it a delicate texture. Her foliage and grasses tickle, her fabric floats, trees dance - her landscapes are in constant movement. This painting depicts a family camping under canvas amongst the Tea...

An excellent and very stylish impasto oil on board of Ranunculus flowers in an urn vase. The expressionist impasto paint application is fascinating. Clearly the work of a competent colourist. It really evokes the texture of Ranunculas flowers, their weight and the vibrancy of their colour. Unsigned, dating from the 1960s. The style is Expressionist. It reminds us of the work of William Dobell...

This is a contemporary copy or reproduction in the style of Albert Gleizes. It is indistinctly signed, to imply he was the artist. It was produced and framed in the United Kingdom so...
