Follower of Benjamin von Block Portrait of Emperor Leopold I (1640-1705) standing full length in armour, his hand on the Imperial orb and a crown beyondoil on canvas, unframed202 x 113cmThe paint layer has a history of loss and flaking evident in the surface. There are numerous areas which are currently in a vulnerable condition with raised areas of flaking and scattered losses. Historic losses are evident across the surface which have been secured by lining. The lining process appears to have used excessive heat with stabilise the paint layer, which has been slightly softened. In some areas, impasto appears smooth. There is extensive overpaint present across the surface, and probably more than one campaign. Some of the overpaint is applied with a broad brush, for example large areas of the armour and the orb held by the sitter. It is unclear if the overpaint covers original paint, or covering extensive losses. Despite the damage, the sitters face appears in reasonably good condition, without the extensive overpaint seen elsewhere. The varnish is dull and uneven with glossy patches across the surface. In the lower half of the picture there are splashes of house paint and other accretions.
Philip de László MVO RBA (Hungarian, 1869-1937) Portrait of Lady Susan Townley (née Lady Susan Keppel, 1868-1953) signed and dated to the reverse 'P. A. László / 1911. Sept.' and inscribed with the sitter's identity oil on board, oval 61 x 47cm Provenance: With Colnaghi, London, 1985, where acquired by the family of the sitter Exhibited: London, Colnaghi and Clarendon, Society Portraits 1850–1939, 1985, no. 76 Literature: C Newall, Society Portraits 1850–1939, Colnaghi and Clarendon, 1985, no. 76, p. 168, ill. p. 169; Sandra de Laszlo, ed., A Brush With Grandeur, 2004, p. 111, ill. fig. 67; K Field ed., Transcribed by Susan de Laszlo, The Diaries of Lucy de László Volume I: (1890-1913), de Laszlo Archive Trust, 2019, ill. p. 188 The sitter, Lady Susan Townley, was the fifth of the seven daughters of William Keppel (1832-1894) 7th Earl of Albemarle, and Sophia Mary (1832-1917) second daughter of the Hon. Sir Allan Napier McNab, first Baronet and Prime Minister of Canada. In 1896, she married the diplomat Walter Townley (1863-1945) who throughout his long career held postings in numerous cities including Bucharest, Teheran, Peking, Paris and Buenos Aires amongst others. Lady Susan recorded her experiences of life in these places in her autobiography The Indiscretions of Lady Susan, published in 1922. The present portrait was executed during Lady Susan's stay with Lady Wantage in Lockinge, Berkshire, where she and her husband were staying for over a month on their way from Buenos Aires to Bucharest. De László was himself a guest at Lady Wantage's home from 10th to 15th September 1911. The sitter had met the artist earlier that year when she accompanied her husband to sittings for his formal full length portrait completed in July 1911. Lady Susan's sister-in-law, Lady Gertrude Egerton, wife of her brother, the 8th Earl of Albemarle, also sat to De László. The present portrait is recorded under number 7360 in the Catalogue Raisonné of Works by Philip de László being compiled by Sandra de László and The de László Archive Trust. The sketch is executed in oil on a composite thick board support. The board bows forward at the centre and is secured in the frame with horizontal battens which appear to be attached to the frame rather than the reverse of the painting. The support appears to be have been reduced in size into an oval format – the inscription on the reverse has been trimmed in this process. The artists’ signature has been kept and secured to the reverse. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition. There are lumps across the surface associated with the texture of the board and the support has probably discoloured with age, but overall the appearance of the work is good.

acrylic on linen, signed, titled label verso framed image size 60cm x 60cm, overall size 81cm x 81cm Label verso: Wilson Davis Fine Art, Bridge of Weir Note: I graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1984 and have been painting, teaching and travelling ever since. In both my landscape and still life paintings I try to demonstrate a delicate compositional balance of physical shape and negative space. I attempt to create compositions that develop through layers of brushwork, drawing and collage, as they move between abstract and representational marks. Pattern and collage are very important elements, as I try to incorporate textures and mark making as prominent features. I have continued to be inspired by the shapes and textures within landscape and still life compositions but only as a starting point. I look for shapes both within the object but also in the negative space and allow the drawn mark or brush stroke to dictate what happens next. Paul Murray exhibits his work all over the country from London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Cotswolds, Bath and Cornwall, as well as locally at Crow Cottage Arts in Gourock.
