Provenance. With the Leferve Gallery. Charles Lambert
Rutherston (1866-1927). Jeanette Powell nee Rutherston.

Charles Rutherston (aka Rothenstein) was the older brother of the artist William Rothenstein (1872-1945) and Albert
Rutherston (1881-1953). A successful businessman in the textile industry who had the eye and financial ability to
collect and support the arts. He played a key role in the careers of Gwen and Augustus John, Paul Nash, Wyndham
Lewis and Henry Moore. Throughout his life he donated selected works to national collections, including The Tate,
before deciding in 1925 to leave the entirety of his collection to the City of Manchester Gallery.
Biography. Frances Mary Hodgkins [1869-1945], a painter in oils and watercolours of landscapes, figures and still life.
Born in Dunedin, New Zealand, trained largely by her father William Matthew Hodgkins. Studied at Dunedin Art
School under the Italian, Girolamo Nerli. In 1901 she travelled to Europe and Morocco. Settling in Paris in 1908 she
taught art in her own school. She returned to New Zealand in 1904-1906 and 1912-1913. She settled in St. Ives from
1914. After the war she travelled again in Europe. She held her first one man show in London in 1928. Frances joined
the Seven and Five Society in 1929, and worked alongside Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore.
During the 1930s she exhibited regularly at the Leferve Galleries. From 1932 to 1947 she lived at Dorchester.
Frances Hodgkins is most admired for the freely painted works of her later life. She is considered a lyrical colourist
and an artistic descendant of Henry Matisse

• Hubert Coop [1872-1953]
East coast hay barges unloading on the Thames,
St Paul’s in the distance
signed
watercolour
37 x 52cm.
£600 - 800
Thames barges played an important part in life along the river
and in Essex by making use of the many creeks and inlets to
collect produce from the farms and take it to markets and
into the City. The barges were flat bottomed wooden craft to
ensure that they could navigate the shallow inlets by sailing
in as little as three feet of water and then lying on the mud
without tilting. The distinctive barge rigging incorporates a
large topsail, a mainsail and foresail on two masts. The rusty
red colour is due to the waterproofing traditionally used on
these sails.
A regular cargo was hay and straw from the Essex countryside
to service the thousands of horses and stables in London.
Although the cargo was relatively light, it was bulky and it was
common to see barges loaded with twelve feet of hay on the
decks with the helmsman at the wheel totally blind relying on
information from a crewman perched on top of the hay.

The sketch, Ponies and Donkey in a woodland clearing, is recorded by Graham
Reynolds as ‘Landscape with horses’ in the Yale Catalogue Raisonne with a date
of 1810. The date, Oct. 8th 1810, was noted on an old label,(now believed lost) by
Lionel Bicknell Constable (Constable’s son) who presumably copied this from an
original inscription by Constable on the back of the sketch, but was then covered,
some years later, possibly when conserved by William Down Ltd., in 1965, with a
lining. Reynolds notes that Constable was in Suffolk on October 8th 1810. Reynolds
also informs us (on page 128 of the same book) that this is one of three dated,
plein-air landscapes made in Suffolk that year (the other two are 10.4 and 10.5,
dated 27th Sept. and 30th Sept. respectively). This sketch is close in handling to the
other two sketches painted that year.
We suspect this sketch was painted by Constable on one of the lanes in and around
East Bergholt. However it does have certain compositional similarities with two
other oil sketches Constable made circa 1810 in the nearby village of Stoke by
Nayland (Reynolds 11.44 and 11.45). So it is just possible this subject also depicts
Stoke by Nayland though, if so, perhaps odd that Constable should omit the church
with its tall tower on the left hand side.
Acknowledgements. We are most grateful to Anne Lyles for her assistance in
cataloguing this lot.
