Artist: S HORNE SHEPHERD           

Title: 'Portrait of a young woman in a green dress'  (an original oil painting on board - unframed)

Description: Scottish painter and printmaker Horne Shepherd (1909-1993) is noted in particular for his figure subjects, often nudes, and his still lifes.  He was born in Dundee and he studied at Dundee School of Art and then at the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1920s.  He came to London in the mid 1930s, and later exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, New English Art Club, London Group, Leicester Galleries, Redfern Gallery, Royal Scottish Academy and Society of Scottish Artists, etc.  He moved to West Sussex later in life.  An exhibition to mark the centenary of his birth was held in Dundee in October 2009.  

We recently acquired a further selection of paintings, drawings and prints which came originally directly from Horne Shepherd's studio. The main item listed (image 1) is an oil painting on board of a young woman wearing a green dress.  It measures about 11.2 x 9 inches on a Chas H West of London NW3 canvas board, and is most likley to date from the mid 1950s.  It is unsigned and is in good condition (although may benefit from a light clean) and is unframed.

We are also showing here three further works by Horne Shepherd (images 2, 3 & 4).  Each of these is signed by the artist and all are unframed and  in good condition.  Brief details are in order shown 'Standing Nude' (watercolour & charcoal, 11" x 7", probably early 1980s - £60), 'Seated woman in orange gown' (watercolour & gouache, 9.4"x5.7", probably 1970s - £50), and 'Still Life with comport' (wash and pen & ink, 11" x 8.1" - £60)...

Price: £120 (for the portrait in oils)

Size: 11.2" x 9" (board size of the portrait in oils)     

Shipping: £6 to mainland UK via Special Delivery for each unframed work or for a group of small works on paper sent at the same time. Please enquire for other delivery destinations.
