      Est: £300 - £500

      Robert Goodloe Harper Pennington,  American 1854-1920-  An interior with a seated lady playing a lute;  oil on panel, bears old inscribed label attached to the reverse, 28.3 x 23.5 cm.  Provenance:  Private Collection, UK (by descent).  Note:  Pennington was a successful society portraitist. He was initially a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While visiting Venice in 1880, he met and stayed on to study with James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) which had a significant impact on his subsequent work. His sitters included Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) in a full-length portrait for a wedding present for Wilde and his wife Constance, and the future Edward VII (1841-1910), who he painted a number of times when Prince of Wales.  The subject of the present work, depicting a lady in historical dress and playing a lute, is a slight departure for the artist, who is best-known for his portraits of contemporary sitters. Its handling, however, is typical of Pennington's studies, and exhibits his significant skill in depicting the sitter's graceful form and the smooth texture of her skin.

      Est: £250 - £350

      Robert Goodloe Harper Pennington,  American 1854-1920-  Study of a seated nude lady;  oil on panel, signed 'Harper Pennington' (upper right), bears inscription 'by / A pupil of / Whistler' verso, 17.7 x 10.8 cm.  Provenance:  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  Pennington was a successful society portraitist. He was initially a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While visiting Venice in 1880, he met and stayed on to study with James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) which had a significant impact on his subsequent work. His sitters included Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) in a full-length portrait for a wedding present for Wilde and his wife Constance, and the future Edward VII (1841-1910), who he painted a number of times when Prince of Wales.  The present study is a particularly striking and intimate work, with the model, whose relaxed pose suggests that she is in a moment of rest, looking directly out at both the artist and viewer. This painting provides an insight into Pennington's artistic process, with his brushstrokes imparting the work with a particularly soft and hazy quality.
