Sarah Louise Kilpack 1839-1909 Oil/board 'Storm'
We are delighted to offer for sale this superb oil on board by the artist SARAH LOUISE KILPACK, who has signed the painting S.L. Kilpack in the lower left hand corner, and inscribed it underneath in ink "A Storm in the Offing". The painting depicts a scene, probably in Jersey, with a man, holding a stick and a basket, standing next to a woman wearing a shawl and bonnet. They are both looking over the sea wall at the bottom of some steps, watching the rough sea, whipped up by the wind. In the background the stormy sky merges into the sea. This is a typical Kilpack painting, showing her understanding of the weather around Jersey.
This is one of a pair of paintings by this artist that we are currently listing.
Sarah Louise Kilpack was born in Covent Garden, London on 15th December 1839. She was the youngest child of Georgina and Thomas Kilpack, a tobacconist, whose family lived above the shop. She draw and played the piano from an early age, and showed great aptitude for both. Her musical ability was such that the fees she earned from playing concerts, enabled her to travel to the country to sketch.
She moved to the Channel Islands in the middle 1860s, where she drew her inspiration from the forces of nature surrounding those islands. Her paintings show an understanding of the tides, winds and waves around the bays and rocky cliffs of the islands and the hard life of the fishermen and islanders.
Two of her paintings were exhibited at the 11th Annual Exhibition of The Society of Women Artists in London and two more were selected for exhibition at the British Institution. In total, she exhibited 58 paintings at the Society of Women Artists' exhibitions.
By the early 1880s she was earning about £500 a year from her prodigious output of paintings, considering she charged an average of 6 guineas each for them. She was a prolific artist.
Sarah never married but continued painting and exhibiting up to her death from cancer on 25th October 1909.
She is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists and Graves Dictionary. Her auction results are available at artprice.com (353 listings), findartinfo.com (167), artnet.com (127) and arcadja.com (121). Her paintings achieve prices into the thousands, and Jersey has even issued a set of stamps featuring her paintings, a set of which will be given free with this painting.
The painting has been framed in a 3 1/2" gilt frame and slip, which suit it very well. It is ready to hang.
