Est: £5,000 - £8,000
Prinsep (Valentine Cameron, 1838-1904). Portrait of the Artist's Sister, circa 1860 * Prinsep (Valentine Cameron, 1838-1904). Portrait of the Artist's Sister, circa 1860, oil on canvas, half-length portrait of a young girl, profile turned to the right, seated in a buttoned yellow chair and looking down with pensive gaze, wearing a flowing black gown with white collar, a beaded necklace, a jewelled ring, and a pink camellia in her auburn hair, holding a feather fan in her right hand, seated against the backdrop of a partly open door and potted lily on a window ledge beyond, re-lined, 41 x 37 cm (16 1/8 x 14 5/8 ins), gilt moulded frame (56 x 49 cm), with printed exhibition label on verso QTY: (1) NOTE: Provenance: Given to David Clayton-Stamm on his 12th birthday in 1923; thence by descent. Exhibited: Val Prinsep RA (1838-1904): A Jubilee Painter, South London Art Gallery, 21 October-10 November 1977, catalogue number 3. A strikingly beautiful portrait of the artist's only sister, Alice Marie Prinsep (1844-1919). The siblings and their two brothers were the offspring of colonial government official and politician Henry Thoby Prinsep and his wife, Sarah Monckton Pattle, one of the celebrated Pattle sisters, of which there were seven. Of this exuberant band, one was the pioneer photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, and another the grandmother of Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell. Beautiful and bohemian, Sarah settled with her husband at Little Holland House in Kensington, where they were visited by many of the prominent artistic and literary figures of the day, including Burne-Jones, Leighton, Millais, Rossetti, Dickens, Tennyson, and Thackeray. Val, as he was known, was born in Calcutta, India, but brought up in London. He was taught to draw and paint by George Frederic Watts who was such a close friend of the family that he became a permanent house guest: as Sarah said of the painter, "he came to stay three days, he stayed thirty years". In 1857 Val Prinsep assisted in the painting of the doomed mural at the Oxford Union, with fellow-students Rossetti, William Morris, Arthur Hughes, and John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, amongst others. Afterwards he studied in Paris with Whistler, Edward John Poynter, and George du Maurier, going on to visit Italy with Burne-Jones, where he befriended Robert Browning in the years 1859-60. Prinsep first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1862, and it is likely around this time that this portrait of Alice was executed. The artist became an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1878, and a full Royal Academician in 1894. He was Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy from 1901 until his death. Art collector and bibliophile Maxwell David Eugene Clayton-Stamm was an authority on the work of William de Morgan and Pre-Raphaelite ceramics. He also facilitated the facsimile publication of the 1819 Blake-Varley sketchbook.

Valentine Cameron Prinsep (British, 1838-1904),
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Valentine Cameron Prinsep (British, 1838-1904), "Portrait of a Blonde Boy", oil on canvas laid down on board, signed lower right, two "Brown Heath, Texas" framer's labels en verso of frame, 24 1/8 in. x 20 1/4 in., in a giltwood frame. Provenance: Descended in an Austin, Texas family. Note: Prinsep was born in Calcutta to a socially prominent literary and artistic family; his maternal aunt was the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, and his first cousins once removed were Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell. He received his education in England where family friends included such luminaries as John Ruskin, William Gladstone, Charles Darwin, and Benjamin Disraeli. The artist George Frederick Watts lived with the Prinsep family for some time, and it is he who encouraged the young man to pursue a career in painting. Prinsep studied in Paris under Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre (Swiss, 1806-1874); his fellow students included James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Edward Poynter. Upon his return to England, Prinsep befriended Dante Gabriel Rossetti and soon became associated with the then emerging Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He assisted Rossetti and William Morris in the execution of the murals at the Oxford Union in 1857 and taught at the Working Men's College under the direction of John Ruskin. He later traveled to Rome with Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Prinsep eventually moved away from the stylistic credos espoused by the Brotherhood and, under the influence of his neighbor the Academic artist Frederic Leighton, adopted a more formal approach to painting. Known for his genre and history paintings, Prinsep also produced a small group of highly regarded portraits; his image of Ruskin is in the permanent collection of the Ashmoleon Museum. In those portraits, as in the example here, Prinsep strove to not only accurately recreate the features of the sitter, but also to create an atmosphere hinting at the feelings and emotions of the sitter. Prinsep exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, where he was elected an Associate in 1878 and named a full Academician in 1894 Reference: Bénézit.
