Nightingale (Basil, 1864-1940). Crime & Retribution, 1913
Est: £500 - £800
Nightingale (Basil, 1864-1940). Crime & Retribution, 1913 * Nightingale (Basil, 1864-1940). Crime & Retribution, 1913, a pair of watercolours, with black chalk and body colour on buff paper, each titled, signed and dated in brown ink to upper right, Crime depicting a fox carry a dead chicken in its mouth, Retribution portraying a hound carrying the head of a dead fox in its mouth, Retribution with some light surface mould and dust, visible size within inner gilt slips 36 x 54.5 cm (14 1/4 x 21 1/2 ins) and similar, framed and glazed (51 x 69.5 cm) QTY: (2) NOTE: Nightingale produced many examples of Retribution in various media, some with the title The Celebrated Belvoir Gambler. We have found no other examples of Retribution dated earlier than 1916. It appears that the hound Gambler belonged to the Duke of Rutland, of Belvoir Castle, and its portrait, on which Retribution is based, was drawn in 1909 for the Duke's own collection. Most of the later copies have the word 'copyright' added by the artist: presumably in an attempt to prevent unauthorised copies.
