The painting shows the degree to which Atkinson Grimshaw’s communication of light and shade was central to his aim of depicting the sublime. The sheer enormity of the landscape and the sky have the effect of dwarfing the figure: a deliberate technique by the artist to remind the viewer that humanity only exists by the grace and favour of nature. The figure walks away from the viewer into the distance, to suggest an unknown beyond reach of all of us. This daytime piece would have been very contemporary for the period and appealing to the cultured upper classes of the time. This is somewhat ironic: the majority of Atkinson Grimshaw’s patrons had come into great wealth as a result of the industrial revolution. Yet, they chose to invest that wealth on images such as this, which seek to prove that industry is meaningless in the face of the power of nature. MAKE AN ENQUIRY -

DIMENSIONS: (unframed) 36.00 x 32.00 inches (91.44 x 81.28 cm) SIGNATURE: Signed MEDIUM: Pastel In this elegant portrait by Paul Cesar Helleu, a young woman stares softly at the viewer, lightly meeting their gaze. The gentleness of the portrait is reflected in the loose gestural draughtsmanship of Helleu. This looseness and ease of depiction suggests that the work was finished in situ, rather than through a series of studies, which is how Helleu preferred to work. MAKE AN ENQUIRY -

Le pont suspendu de Triel sur Seine exemplifies Gustave Loiseau's life-long fascination for the Seine and its tributaries. Set in a village north west of Paris, the work captures the passing of the water in a moment of muted light. Avoiding the strong light of midday, Loiseau often preferred the softer crepuscular light of morning or evening. DIMENSIONS: (unframed) 23.6 x 31.9 ins/ 60.0 x 81.0 cms SIGNATURE: Signed 'G.
