Samuel Howitt, British c.1765-1822- Seven Studies of birds; each pencil and watercolour on paper, six signed 'Howitt', four indistinctly inscribed in pencil, 19 x 12.9 cm. and smaller, seven (7). Provenance: Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 22 November 1995, lot 1. (part lot). Private Collection, UK. Note: Howitt made his name as an animal and sporting artist, particularly depicting hunting and equestrian scenes. He illustrated a number of publications, including Peter Beckford's 'Thoughts on Hunting' (1798) and John Turton's 'The Angler's Manual' (1808), as his own titles, such as 'A New Work of Animals' (1811) and 'Groups of Animals' (1811). Howitt produced a number of ornithological studies like the present works - indeed, one of his major patrons was Walter Fawkes (1769-1825) of Farnley Hall, Yorkshire for whom he executed studies to be included in the family's 'Ornithological Collection' albums, whilst another patron was the naturalist and collector William Bullock (c.1773-1849).

Samuel Howitt (British, 1756-1822) Studies of a Cougar and an Ocelot both signed 'Howitt' and inscribed below 'F. Concolor' and 'F. Ocelot of Albany' watercolour on paper 19.5 x 13cm (2) Provenance: Messrs. Fores of Piccadilly, London Samuel Howitt (1756-1822) was born into a wealthy Quaker family who were squires at Chigwell, Essex. He spent his youth participating in field sports and only turned to art professionally after running into financial difficulty. Perhaps because of his strict Quaker upbringing, Howitt was known for having a ‘carefree attitude’. He spent much of his time frequenting the gambling houses and drinking parlours of London with his brother-in-law, the acclaimed caricaturist, Thomas Rowlandson. Mostly working in oil and watercolour, Howitt’s artistic output was broad and varied. Often working from life, his light-hearted and spirited depictions of animals appeared in several sporting and other publications. He executed numerous studies at the Royal Menagerie in The Tower of London, exhibited works at the Royal Academy and worked on private natural history commissions. Perhaps the most notable of these commissions was the five-volume album Ornithological Collection that Howitt worked on alongside J.M.W. Turner. Compiled in the early 1820s for Walter Fawkes (1769-1825) at Farnley Hall, Yorkshire, the album contained watercolours by Turner and Howitt alongside plumage specimens and cut-outs taken from Thomas Bewick’s British Birds series. Fawkes had a considerable collection of Howitt's and Turner’s work, and on several occasions invited the artists to his estate where he would entertain them.
