F. Holmes Watercolour Portrait Elegant Young Lady
We are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely beautiful and superbly executed watercolour by the artist F. HOLMES, who has signed the painting is the lower right hand corner and inscribed it 'Clifton'. The painting depicts an attractive young lady with dark hair, wearing drop earrings and a white evening dress, with a peach rose in the v-shaped neckline.
This artist is rather a mystery, as after considerable research, we have found another painting signed in exactly the same way, which is again a figure study of a young boy playing with toy bricks. This came to the market in 2005, but that auction house had no information other than the name F. Holmes and Clifton. We have found a Frank Holmes, who was a photographer in Clifton, Bristol and a Frederick Holmes, who was a landscape and figure painter in London, who exhibited from 1924-37. He exhibited 13 paintings at the Royal Academy, 5 at the Royal Society of British Artists and 4 at the Chenil Galleries. However, somewhat surprisingly, we have no found no recent auction records for his work, although if he is the correct artist, there was the study of the boy mentioned above. Unfortunately, as there are no other images of paintings by Frederick, we cannot tell if the signature is the same and we do not know the significance of 'Clifton', unless he was staying there at the time.
However, the proper reason for buying a painting is whether you love it and would enjoy its presence and not who the artist is.
The painting is well framed in a cream and gilt 7/8" frame and is newly double mounted in two tone acid-free mountboard to complement. It is ready to hang.
Medium Watercolours over pencil.
