Artist: Sydney Horne Shepherd

Title: Reclining Nude II (an original signed painting in mixed media - 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 at The Queen's Gallery, Dundee in October 2009.

We have acquired a good selection of paintings, drawings and prints which came originally directly from Horne Shepherd's studio. The main item shown here is an original painting in mixed media of a young nude woman reclining, which is signed lower left and is likely to date to the 1950s or early 1960s.  It was priced originally by the artist at 14 guineas. measures about 12.2 x 24.4 inches, and is unframed.  This work is in good condition, and has been laid down on a board, most probably by the artist. The painting was included in the exhibition in Dundee in 2009.

We are also showing here two further works by Horne Shepherd (images 3 & 4). Both of these are signed by the artist and are unframed and in good condition.  Brief details are 'Reclining nude on bed' (charcoal drawing on grey paper 12.5" x 10" image size, c1950s - £75) and 'The Girls' Room' (pen & ink 8" x 6" image size, laid down on modern paper board, circa 1960, also included in Dundee exhibition 2009 - £70)...
