Title: Robin Bird Snowy Branch Berries Wildlife Watercolour Painting Artist: L W Rowe, 20th century Medium: watercolour and gouache on paper, unframed Size: 10 x 8 height x width in inches Signature: signed lower left, L W R Stamped verso: no stamp visible from the images provided Provenance: private collection Condition: good overall vintage condition. The sheet shows light age toning, handling marks, minor surface wear and slight edge wear. There is some marking and discolouration to the reverse. The painted surface remains bright, charming and highly decorative. Description: A charming signed watercolour and gouache painting by L W Rowe, depicting a robin perched on a snowy branch with red berries and autumn leaves. The bird is shown in profile, with its distinctive orange-red breast, soft brown wings and alert dark eye carefully picked out against a muted pale green background. The subject has strong natural history and decorative appeal, combining British wildlife, winter atmosphere and botanical detail. The artist uses a lively mixture of transparent watercolour and thicker white gouache to suggest snow resting on the branches. This gives the painting a pleasing sense of texture and seasonal charm. The robin is delicately modelled, with fine brushwork used to describe the feathers, wing markings and rounded form of the body. Small red berries add bright points of colour and balance beautifully with the warm tones of the bird’s breast. The composition is simple but effective, placing the robin centrally on the diagonal branch while leaving space around the figure. This gives the work a quiet, peaceful quality and makes it especially easy to place within an interior. The winter subject also gives it particular appeal for country house interiors, nature lovers, bird collectors and seasonal displays. This piece would appeal to collectors of bird paintings, robin artworks, British wildlife watercolours...

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY This painting of four different species of fish that can be found in South Korea is from the mid-20th century Korean artist Kim Kyung. Seafood from both the seas that surround the peninsula and from its rivers are an integral part of the livelihood and cuisine of Koreans. Kim Kyung (in Hanja, 金耕, in Hangul 김경) was born in South Korea, his real name, under the current Revised Romanization was Kim Gyeong-Eun (in Hanja 金萬斗, in Hangul 김경은). His name follows the East Asian convention of family name first, though some Western galleries choose to reorder his name with the Western convention as Kyung Kim. He was born in Hadong, Gyeongnam during the Imperial Japanese occupation, as the eldest son of a poor farm family, and at the age of 18 he entered the art department of Japan University. In 1943, he returned to his hometown to escape being drafted into the Japanese army...

Title: Bullfighting Scene Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986) Technique: Oil on board Dimensions: 25.6 x 21.3 in (65 x 54 cm) Frameless Period: Second half of the 20th century Art Movement: Figurative Expressionism with Impressionist influences Condition: Good, with visible signs of aging on the surface DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK This painting captures a crucial moment in a bullfight, where the matador, dressed in a dazzling traje de luces (suit of lights), elegantly holds the red cape (muleta) while facing a wounded bull. The scene conveys tension and drama through energetic and loose brushwork, with strong contrasts of light and color that enhance its expressiveness. The abstract background, built with gestural brushstrokes in warm, earthy tones, reinforces the dynamism and immediacy of the moment. The thick texture of the paint and the vibrant colors in the matador's attire and cape are characteristic of Figurative Expressionism, giving the work a strong emotional impact. Tuser masterfully captures the essence of movement and the intensity of the bullfight through a painterly approach reminiscent of Impressionism, but with a greater emphasis on gesture and expressive color, making his work stand out for its raw energy and dramatic depth. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specialized in bullfighting themes, gaining recognition in the 20th-century art scene for his expressive depictions of the corrida (bullfight). He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong mastery of color and composition. From 1947 onwards, his work focused almost entirely on bullfighting, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that capture the emotion and spectacle of the arena. He was a frequent collaborator with El Ruedo magazine, where his illustrations and covers solidified his reputation. Additionally, in the 1940s, he designed series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for the Artigas Publishing House. His work has been auctioned in several art houses and is highly valued among collectors of bullfighting paintings. His influence and legacy in tauromaquia (bullfighting art...
