A small archive of works by or relating to the artist, including a number of works by Charles Wellington Furse: a pencil study of the upper back and arms of a male nude on grey textured laid paper, signed in pencil lower right, upper right corner slightly creased, sheet size 27.3 x 39.1 cm (10 3/4 x 15 3/8 ins); a pen and ink drawing of Cecil Rhodes, dated 1896, with folds and a few edge-tears (one with loss to lower edge), sheet size 20.3 x 16.5 cm (8 x 6 1/2 ins), laid down on card (26.9 x 21.4 cm); and 13 small juvenile sketches of horses, figures, and dogs, mostly annotated 'Charlie' and dated 1873, some laid down on paper (adhesive show-through in places), 11.5 x 18 cm (4 1/2 x 7 ins) and smaller, and a collection of works by other hands, including a signed pen & ink head and shoulders sketch of a woman by Pietro Annigoni, dated 1954, a sketchbook belonging to Charles's brother the sculptor J.H.M. Furse, containing approximately 25 leaves of drawings, mostly head studies in pencil (some crossed through in pencil), but also a drawing of a greyhound in sanguine, a few sketches of other animals, several of festoons of fruit, 1 or 2 drapery studies, and a couple of landscapes in coloured chalks, sheet size 30.5 x 24.5 cm (12 x 9 3/4 ins), page block becoming loose in original cloth, large 4to, and a scrap album containing a variety of drawings, engravings, and manuscript writings, including a number of pen & ink or pencil caricatures and a scissor cut silhouette of a child, original gilt and blind decorated red calf, worn, 4to QTY: (a folder) NOTE: Charles Wellington Furse studied at the Slade School in London and the Académie Julian in Paris. He is known to have developed a talent for drawing at an early age, and this is borne out by some of the sketches offered here which were executed at the age of just six. Furse is particularly known for his portraiture, which demonstrates a novel sense of immediacy in direct contrast to much for the staid studio portraiture which had gone before. His sitters are often painted engaged in a sport or pastime, unconscious of being observed, giving the appearance of a snapshot in time. One such example is the impressive oil of four children on horseback entitled 'With the York and Ainsty - The Children of Mr Edward Lycett Green', a work conveying movement and colour, light and energy.

Charles Wellington Furse, English 1868-1904, Portrait of the artist's wife and child, oil on canvas, 138cm by 79cm
Est: $15,000 - $20,000
Charles Wellington Furse English, 1868-1904 Portrait of the artist's wife and child oil on canvas Provenance: Cromwells Auctions Sydney Charles Wellington Furse ARA (13 January 1868 – 16 October 1904) was an English painter who was born at Staines, the son of Jane Diana (Monsell) and the Rev. C. W. Furse, archdeacon of Westminster, and rector of St John's, Smith Square and descended collaterally from Sir Joshua Reynolds; and in his short span of life demonstrated such skill as a portrait and figure painter that he forms an important link in the chain of British portraiture which extends from the time when Van Dyck was called to the court of Charles I into the 20th century. His talent was precocious; at the age of seven he gave indications of it in a number of drawings illustrating the novels of Sir Walter Scott. He attended public school at Haileybury College. He entered the Slade School in 1884, winning the Slade scholarship in the following year, and completed his education at Julian's atelier in Paris. Hard worker as he was, his activity was frequently interrupted by spells of illness, for he had developed signs of consumption, whilst still attending the Slade School. An important canvas called Cain was his first contribution (1888) to the Royal Academy, to the associateship of which he was elected in the year of his death. For some years before he had been a staunch supporter of the New English Art Club, to the exhibitions of which he was a regular contributor. In October 1900 he married Katharine Symonds, the daughter of John Addington Symonds. She later became known as Dame Katharine Furse. The couple had two sons, Peter Reynolds Furse (in 1901), a Royal Navy Cartographer, and John Paul Wellington Furse (in 1904), later a Rear Admiral, painter and later plant hunter. His fondness for sport and of an open-air life found expression in his art and introduced a new, fresh and vigorous note into portraiture. There is never a suggestion of the studio or of the fatiguing pose in his portraits. The sitters appear unconscious of being painted, and are generally seen in the pursuit of their favourite outdoor sport or pastime, in the full enjoyment of life. Such are the Diana of the Uplands (1903–04), the Lord Roberts (1893) and The Return from the Ride (1902) at the Tate Gallery; the four children in the Cubbing with the York and Ainsty, The Lilac Gown, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Fishing and the portraits of Lord Charles Beresford and William Johnson Cory. His revealing portrait of a younger Charles Darling who as Mr Justice Darling was later to sit on the criminal appeal of Sir Roger Casement is in the National Portrait Gallery. Nearly all of Furse's work shows a pronounced decorative tendency. His sense of space, composition and decorative design can best be judged by his mural decorations for Liverpool Town Hall, executed between 1899 and 1902. A memorial exhibition of Furse's paintings and sketches was held at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1906. His granddaughter was U.S. Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse.
