      • WILLIAM GOODALL WATERCOLOR OF A BLACK CAPPED KINGFISHER
        Nov. 23, 2024

        WILLIAM GOODALL WATERCOLOR OF A BLACK CAPPED KINGFISHER

        Est: $1,200 - $2,500

        GOODALL, William (1757-1844). Black Capped Kingfisher. Watercolor and ink on paper. c. 1820. 12 3/4" x 7 3/4" sheet. William Goodall was an accomplished natural history artist and a priest who lived in Buckinghamshire, in southeast England. He produced several folio illustrations of animals, birds, and insects, all exact yet colorful studies. Goodall based most of his work on popular 18th and 19th century naturalists and illustrators, like Edward Donovan, William Swainson, and William Lewin. As was the style in ornithological art of that period, Goodall captioned almost every single drawing with an animal’s Linnaean name, a Latin description, genus, the country from which it hailed. He would also add references to the plate numbers and artists he referenced. He was educated at Eton and, at an early age, studied both natural history and fine arts with his brother, who collected natural history prints. William became an ordained priest of the Church of England and served as absentee rector at All Saints Church, Marsham, near Aylsham in Norfolk from 1787-1844. In 1788, he married the sole heiress of Dinton Hall, Buckinghamshire, making him Lord of the Manor and a Justice of the Peace for Bucks. Dinton Hall is a large Jacobean house with a long and famous history going back to the Saxons. William lived in a more leisurely age when the only way to create a visual archive was to paint, which became his life-long hobby. He did many works on animals, birds, and plants, often hand-scripting the bird types in Latin and English.

        Dec. 12, 2020

        Goodall - 8 Original Quadruped Watercolors

        Est: $400 - $800

        This is an original watercolor by William Goodall from his extensive, life-time collection of animal drawings. He captioned each with Linnaean classification and other information relative to the animal on the page. Each watercolor or pen-and-ink drawing is on woven paper and is signed by Goodall. The watermarks that are present date between 1794 and 1833. Goodall completed these in Dinton, Buckinghamshire, England. William Goodall was educated at Eton, became an ordained priest of the Church of England and served as absentee rector at All Saints Church, Marsham, near Aylsham in Norfolk from 1787-1844. In 1788, he married the sole heiress of Dinton Hall, Buckinghamshire, making him lord of the manor and a Justice of the Peace for Bucks. Painting was a life-long hobby. His brother Joseph Goodall (1760-1840), long-time Provost of Eton, was a noted collector of natural history drawings and friend of William Swainson. Their shared passion suggest that the Goodall brothers were educated at an early age in both natural history and the fine arts. The animals he depicted include species from all over the world, including more exotic animals from Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Many of the images are identified as derivative of printed sources, including the Zoological Journal, Shaw, Edwards, Pennant, Temminck, Ruppel, Leach and others; however, others are labelled as having been done from specimens at Dinton. "William had no access to live whales or the larvae of foreign butterflies, so that he must have copied many of his paintings from printed works. This does not mean that he copied all of them. Some are probably original or partly original. Many paintings suggest observations on live or newly caught organisms ... Even paintings known to have been copied contain corrections or some new element to improve the presentation" (Locke & Collins). "William lived in a more leisurely age when the only way to create a visual archive was to paint, much as we might now collect photographs. His pursuit of images probably satisfied his inclination to paint, to collect and to study natural history combined in the one activity. He was following in the footsteps of Sir Hans Sloane ... He thus created his personal museum, a good part of which was a paper museum." (Locke & Collins)

        Goodall - 6 Original Watercolors: Musk, Antelope

        Est: $400 - $800

        Included in this lot: Leverian Musk Meminna Pygmy Musk Pygmy Antelope Mountain Antilope (Antelope) Guanaco Description: This is an original watercolor by William Goodall from his extensive, life-time collection of animal drawings. He captioned each with Linnaean classification and other information relative to the animal on the page. Each watercolor or pen-and-ink drawing is on woven paper and is signed by Goodall. The watermarks that are present date between 1794 and 1833. Goodall completed these in Dinton, Buckinghamshire, England. William Goodall was educated at Eton, became an ordained priest of the Church of England and served as absentee rector at All Saints Church, Marsham, near Aylsham in Norfolk from 1787-1844. In 1788, he married the sole heiress of Dinton Hall, Buckinghamshire, making him lord of the manor and a Justice of the Peace for Bucks. Painting was a life-long hobby. His brother Joseph Goodall (1760-1840), long-time Provost of Eton, was a noted collector of natural history drawings and friend of William Swainson. Their shared passion suggest that the Goodall brothers were educated at an early age in both natural history and the fine arts. The animals he depicted include species from all over the world, including more exotic animals from Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Many of the images are identified as derivative of printed sources, including the Zoological Journal, Shaw, Edwards, Pennant, Temminck, Ruppel, Leach and others; however, others are labelled as having been done from specimens at Dinton. "William had no access to live whales or the larvae of foreign butterflies, so that he must have copied many of his paintings from printed works. This does not mean that he copied all of them. Some are probably original or partly original. Many paintings suggest observations on live or newly caught organisms ... Even paintings known to have been copied contain corrections or some new element to improve the presentation" (Locke & Collins). "William lived in a more leisurely age when the only way to create a visual archive was to paint, much as we might now collect photographs. His pursuit of images probably satisfied his inclination to paint, to collect and to study natural history combined in the one activity. He was following in the footsteps of Sir Hans Sloane ... He thus created his personal museum, a good part of which was a paper museum." (Locke & Collins)

Their shared passion suggest that the Goodall brothers were educated at an early age in both natural history and the fine arts. The animals he depicted include species from all over the world, including more exotic animals from Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Many of the images are identified as derivative of printed sources, including the Zoological Journal, Shaw, Edwards, Pennant, Temminck, Ruppel, Leach and others; however, others are labelled as having been done from specimens at Dinton. "William had no access to live whales or the larvae of foreign butterflies, so that he must have copied many of his paintings from printed works. This does not mean that he copied all of them. Some are probably original or partly original. Many paintings suggest observations on live or newly caught organisms ... Even paintings known to have been copied contain corrections or some new element to improve the presentation" (Locke & Collins). "William lived in a more leisurely age when the only way to create a visual archive was to paint, much as we might now collect photographs. His pursuit of images probably satisfied his inclination to paint, to collect and to study natural history combined in the one activity. He was following in the footsteps of Sir Hans Sloane ... He thus created his personal museum, a good part of which was a paper museum." (Locke & Collins)
