C. MacIver Grierson RI Irish 1864-1939 Watercolour
1 of 6
We are offering for sale this interesting English Civil War watercolour by the Irish artist Charles MacIver Grierson, who has signed the painting in the lwere right hand corner and dated it 1907. The painting depicts a Parliamentarian father, dressed in typical fashiong with a wide brimmed hat and large white collar in Puritan style, asleep in his chair in front of the fire. The remains of a meal are on the dining table behind him, with a half drunk glass of wine, a tall pewter pitcher and a loaf of bread of a platter. His daughter is sitting on a window seat in front of a large leaded light window and she is being cautioned to remain silent, by a cavalier with a finger to his lips. He is wearing the more flamboyant costume of the Royalists with their spurred, wide topped boots and feather plumed hat and has come for an assignation with the young lady behind her father's back. On the old mount, which we have retained on the back of the painting, is the title ' What The Eye Does Not See'.
Charles was born in Cobh (then Queenstown) County Cork in the Irish Republic in 1864, the son of the manager of the Cunard Line Shipping Company. He studied at the Westminster School of Art but lived mostly in England, while maintaining an address in Ireland from which he submitted his work for exhibitions. He was a painter, black and white and a pastel artist. He married in 1896 in Sligo, and in 1898 was advertising there to art students that he was preparing to take a class with a limited number of attendees and would also take private pupils in drawing and painting.
He exhibited 9 works at the Royal Academy, 81 at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, 17 at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Royal Hibernian Academy 7, and elsewhere in the provinces.
In 1892 he was elected a full Member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and was also a Member of the Pastel Society, although we don't know in what year he was elected.
However, by the late 1890s, he was loding in a dwelling house in Hampstead and in the early to mid 1920s, was living in Sussex. He died in Hillingdon, in the outskirts of London on 25th September 1939.
There are 101 results achieved for his works on artprice.com. He had a penchant for historical subjects and, in fact, we found three others of the English Civil War.
The painting has been newly double mounted in two-tone acid-free mountboard and is newly framed in a 1 1/8" bronzed gilt frame to suit. It will be supplied with new brass hangers and brass picture ware, ready to hang.
Image size: 15 7/8" x 11 1/4" - 40.35cm x 29.2cm
Frame size: 24" x 19 1/2" - 61cm x 49.55cm
Medium: Watercolours
Condition: Very good. There is no foxing or damage and the mounts and frame are new.
