Artist: Sydney Horne Shepherd

Title: 'Nude in green stockings' (an original signed watercolour painting - 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, and examples of his work are held in the collection of the Dundee Art Gallery and Museum.

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 watercolour with some pen of a seated female nude wearing green stockings. It is signed centre right and is likely to date to the late 1950s or early 1960s as it is on paper watermarked Whatman 1957. The work measures about 12 x 10 inches, is unframed, and is in good original condition.

We also have other works available by Horne Shepherd. Three such examples are shown in the final three images above. Please email us if further details and images are required...
