Artist: Sydney Horne Shepherd

Title: 'Study of an Oriental Girl'  (an original signed monotype - 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.  We understand that an exhibition to mark the centenary of his birth is due to be held in Dundee later in October.

We recently acquired a further selection of drawings and prints by this artist which came originally directly from Horne Shepherd's studio. The item shown here is an original monotype (most probably a unique work), measuring 22 x 15.2 inches, which we think dates from the 1950s.  The work is hand signed by the artist lower left and it is unframed.  The monotype is in very good condition.

We are also showing here two further works by Horne Shepherd (images 3 & 4). Both are signed by the artist and are unframed and in good condition except as mentioned below.  Brief details are - 'Reclining Nude' (red and white chalks on grey paper 10.2" x 15", circa 1960s, the paper has some minor tears at the edges and a crease lower right hand corner - £45); and 'Still Life with bottles and fruit' (monotype on Japan paper measuring 11.6"x17.6" image size and 16"x20" sheet size, circa 1950s, some creasing to corners of sheet - £70)...
