Patrick Nasmyth (British 1787 - 1831) Oil painting on canvas, Landscape, with horse-drawn cart on a path. Signed lower left, In gilt wood frame. 2lb Nasmyth was one of the eleven children of Barbara and Alexander Nasmyth of Edinburgh. His six sistersâJane, Barbara, Margaret, Elizabeth, Anne, and Charlotte â were notable artists whilst his younger brother, James, was a prominent engineer who invented the steam hammer. Nasmyth was born in Edinburgh and was named after his father's patron, Patrick Miller. He developed an affinity for art at an early age. He and his siblings were all given art lessons. His father was keen to see that they were independent. As a teenager Nasmyth lost the use of his right hand following an accident, forcing him to learn how to paint with his left. He also lost most of his hearing through illness. Much of Nasmyth's work, a great deal of which is undated, depicts his native Scotland, which he continued to paint even after moving to London in 1810. Like his father, he was heavily influenced by the Dutch masters of the 17th century, particularly Meindert Hobbema and Jacob van Ruysdael (a large number of works by both men were displayed in London galleries during Nasmyth's lifetime). Approx. Measurements: Painting 13 x 9.75 inches; frame 18.25 x 15 inches. Domestic Shipping: $35

PATRICK NASMYTH (SCOTTISH 1787-1831) TRAVELLERS ON A WOODED COUNTRY LANE Signed and dated 1831, oil on panel (36cm x 46cm (14in x 18in)) Provenance: W. H. Patterson, London In 1810 Alexander Nasmyth visited London with his son Patrick (1787-1831) to view prominent private paintings collections. Patrick elected to remain in London, where he developed a detailed and precise painting style informed by seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes. Such was his commitment to the Dutch Masters, particularly Hobbema and Jacob van Ruisdael, that his obituary referred to him as ‘the English Hobbima’. Patrick continued to portray Scotland, which proved popular with London collectors. He was reported to have constructed a small portable painting tent which enabled him to work even in the most adverse weather conditions, so that he could capture a naturalistic and atmospheric impression of the landscape before him. Raised in a uniquely artistic and intellectual environment, it is of little surprise that the Nasmyth children understood the principles of drawing and painting. It is remarkable, however, that so many possessed natural artistic talent. Of his eleven children at least eight were gifted artists: his six eldest daughters Jane, Barbara, Margaret, Elizabeth, Anne and Charlotte, and his eldest son Patrick and younger son James. James observed that ‘my father’s object was to render each and every one of his children…independent…accordingly, he sedulously kept up the attention of his daughters to fine art. He set on foot drawing classes…managed by his six daughters, superintended by himself.’ The Nasmyth children benefited from intimate access to their father’s paintings and expansive drawings portfolio, including many early copies of Old Masters made at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh and Allan Ramsay’s studio. It also contained numerous landscape sketches observed from life, overwhelmingly portraying England and Scotland. Only a few European sketches survive, likely made during Nasmyth’s Italian studies, but charmingly these continental landscapes appear to have been pored over by the Nasmyth children, and can be seen to have inspired passages in their mature paintings. They all went on to paint landscapes almost exclusively, with each adopting a personal interpretation of their father’s style.

Signed lower left, In gilt wood frame. 2lb Nasmyth was one of the eleven children of Barbara and Alexander Nasmyth of Edinburgh. His six sisters—Jane, Barbara, Margaret, Elizabeth, Anne, and Charlotte — were notable artists whilst his younger brother, James, was a prominent engineer who invented the steam hammer. Nasmyth was born in Edinburgh and was named after his father's patron, Patrick Miller. He developed an affinity for art at an early age. He and his siblings were all given art lessons. His father was keen to see that they were independent. As a teenager Nasmyth lost the use of his right hand following an accident, forcing him to learn how to paint with his left. He also lost most of his hearing through illness. Much of Nasmyth's work, a great deal of which is undated, depicts his native Scotland, which he continued to paint even after moving to London in 1810. Like his father, he was heavily influenced by the Dutch masters of the 17th century, particularly Meindert Hobbema and Jacob van Ruysdael (a large number of works by both men were displayed in London galleries during Nasmyth's lifetime). Approx. Measurements: Painting 13 x 9.75 inches; frame 18.25 x 15 inches. Domestic Shipping: $35
