    James Clarke Waite (UK,Australia,1832-1921) oil painting antique

    Est: $1,500 - $1,900

    ARTIST: James Clarke Waite (British, Australia, 1832 - 1921) NAME: Courting Couple MEDIUM: oil on canvas CONDITION: Relined. Minor craquelure. No visible inpaint under UV light. Minor damages to frame. SIGHT SIZE: 20 x 16 inches / 50 x 40 cm FRAME SIZE: 29 x 25 inches / 73 x 63 cm SIGNATURE: lower right PROVENANCE: Grand Central Art Gallery NY (has gallery label on verso) LOCATION: This lot is located at our Dania Beach, FL office. CATEGORY: antique vintage painting AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US SKU#: 118719 US SHIPPING: $95 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Born in England and active in London from 1863 until 1885, James Clarke Waite likely acquired his meticulous genre style at the Royal Academy, where he often exhibited. A member of the Royal Society of British Artists, he showed more than 117 works at Suffolk Street. He also exhibited at the British Institution and the Old Watercolour Society. Around 1885, Waite emigrated to Australia, where he remained for the rest of his life, finding additional success as a portrait and history painter.The subject of a convalescing Confederate officer is a curious departure for the artist, who specialized in scenes of children with pets, such as Feeding the Kitten, or elderly people, as in The Widow's Consolation and A Rest Well Earned. It was probably inspired by accounts of the war that appeared in the British press. Waite would have been familiar with the illustrations of Winslow Homer and Alfred Waud, and must have also seen the paintings of George Lambdin, who developed themes that represented the domestic trials of the conflict, such as that presented here.Waite's ability at painting still-life detail and his vibrant sense of color are evident in this rare example from his early career. Indeed, so exacting is the detail that it is possible to identify the soldier's rank and unit, and to date the scene early to mid-war, as the blue trim embellishing the uniform was thereafter discontinued. The inclusion of the Richmond Daily Sun suggests that the soldier served under Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Waite may have painted the scene for a patron. In the early years of the war, Great Britain and other European countries were inclined to favor--or at least to sympathize with--the Confederacy. The upper classes looked upon the Southern planter as an aristocrat with whom they had much in common, while Robert E. Lee was admired for his gallantry and military brilliance.In 1901, Waite was commissioned by the Australian government to produce one of the country's most historically important artworks, The Opening of the First Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, for the Melbourne Exhibition Building. The contract required him to include correct representations of 269 various political leaders and aristocrats. Sixty-nine years old and in frail health, Waite was unable to begin the project, and the contract was given to Tom Roberts.

    Est: $2,500 - $5,000

    WAITE, James Clark (1832-1921) Portrait of a Young Woman with Flowers & Letter. Signed 'J C Waite' lower right. Oil on Canvas 79x63cm PROVENANCE: Australian Artists Association, Melbourne, Summer Exhibition, March 1887 (possibly); Mr R.M. Clark esq. (possibly - name inscribed to canvas verso; Mr Victor Newbold, Newcastle, purchased September 28th 1937; thence by descent. OTHER NOTES: This work is possibly entitled 'Chloé', exhibited by Waite as part of the Australian Artists Association, Melbourne, Summer Exhibition, March 1887. In reporting on the exhibition, March 5th 1887, The Argus states: "Mr J.C. Waite sends in ... a half-length figure entitled 'Chloé' which is stated to be a portrait of the young lady who sat to M. Lefebvre as a model for the picture of the same name [famous Young & Jackson 'Chloé']. It is a charming head and face, with the roundness, freshness, and bloom of youth in the countenance, and a look of innocence and simplicity, which is not always associated with the female models of Parisian artists." As the subject of the 1875 Lefebvre picture is thought to have been a French model named Marie (the 'Chloé' comes from the poem 'Mnasyle et Chloé') the newspaper attribution is not confirmed.

CONTACT US SKU#: 118719 US Shipping $75 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Born in England and active in London from 1863 until 1885, James Clarke Waite likely acquired his meticulous genre style at the Royal Academy, where he often exhibited. A member of the Royal Society of British Artists, he showed more than 117 works at Suffolk Street. He also exhibited at the British Institution and the Old Watercolour Society. Around 1885, Waite emigrated to Australia, where he remained for the rest of his life, finding additional success as a portrait and history painter.The subject of a convalescing Confederate officer is a curious departure for the artist, who specialized in scenes of children with pets, such as Feeding the Kitten, or elderly people, as in The Widow's Consolation and A Rest Well Earned. It was probably inspired by accounts of the war that appeared in the British press. Waite would have been familiar with the illustrations of Winslow Homer and Alfred Waud, and must have also seen the paintings of George Lambdin, who developed themes that represented the domestic trials of the conflict, such as that presented here.Waite's ability at painting still-life detail and his vibrant sense of color are evident in this rare example from his early career. Indeed, so exacting is the detail that it is possible to identify the soldier's rank and unit, and to date the scene early to mid-war, as the blue trim embellishing the uniform was thereafter discontinued. The inclusion of the Richmond Daily Sun suggests that the soldier served under Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Waite may have painted the scene for a patron. In the early years of the war, Great Britain and other European countries were inclined to favor--or at least to sympathize with--the Confederacy. The upper classes looked upon the Southern planter as an aristocrat with whom they had much in common, while Robert E. Lee was admired for his gallantry and military brilliance.In 1901, Waite was commissioned by the Australian government to produce one of the country's most historically important artworks, The Opening of the First Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, for the Melbourne Exhibition Building. The contract required him to include correct representations of 269 various political leaders and aristocrats. Sixty-nine years old and in frail health, Waite was unable to begin the project, and the contract was given to Tom Roberts.
