        Edward Bird, RA,  - Sketch for 'A Tale of Waterloo': A seated man with a walkin…

        Est: £150 - £250

        Edward Bird, RA,  British 1772-1819-  Sketch for 'A Tale of Waterloo': A seated man with a walking stick;  oil on panel, signed and dated 'E. Bird / 1816' verso, bears old label inscribed 'The Sketch of the old man, listening / to the soldier, who is describing, in / a public House, the Battle of Waterloo' attached verso, 26.5 x 16.5 cm.  Note:  The present work is likely a study for Bird’s finished painting, ‘A Tale of Waterloo’, which sold at Sotheby’s, London, 11 July 1997 (£3,680). The final painting depicts a soldier in military uniform regaling his listeners with tales from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the decisive battle in which the Prussian and British forces defeated the French army, effectively precipitating the collapse of the Napoleonic empire. The figure depicted in the present work is most likely a study for the old man who sits to the right of Bird’s larger painting, in between the two female onlookers.  Bird spent much of his working life in Bristol, and it is largely around him that the Bristol School of artists formed, with members including Francis Danby (1793-1861), James Baker Pyne (1800-1870), and Samuel Jackson (1794-1869). He was a prominent painter, initially of genre scenes in which capacity he threatened the position of David Wilkie (1785-1841) as the pre-eminent artist in this field. Later in his career, he developed a greater interest in historical scenes, and particularly in the depiction of battles. He was appointed 'Historical Painter' to Princess Charlotte in 1813.

        Edward Bird [1772-1819]- 'The Departure for London', interior scene with figures preparing for a son's departure:- signed E. Bird R.A. bottom left of centre oil on panel 61 x 90cm * Provenance. Exhibited at The Royal Academy in 1815, No.51. With the Fine Art Society, London. Private Devon Collection. * Biography. An English genre artist, who spent most of his working life in Bristol, where the Bristol School of artists formed around him. He enjoyed a period of popularity in London, rivalling the dominance of David Wilkie in the field of genre painting, before moving to historical and battle scenes. He was born in Wolverhampton, the son of a carpenter. He had no formal art training, but developed his skills through apprenticeship as a japanning artist painting tea trays. Bird had a naturalistic style and his use of fresh colours, especially in his genre paintings, drew a large number of artists to his School, amongst them Rippingille and Francis Danby. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1809. Both the Prince Regent and Princess Charlotte were patrons of the artist.
