ANGELO GARINO (ITALIAN 1860-1945)
HALF LENGTH PORTRAIT OF MONA CAIRD Signed, inscribed and dated 'Nice 1918', oil on canvas89cm x 71cm (35in x 28in)Provenance: Henryson-Caird Collection, Cassencarie HouseNote: Mona Caird was born Alice Mona Alison on 24 May, 1854 to an affluent family on the Isle of Wight. Also known by her married name Alice Mona Henryson-Caird, she was a writer and essayist dubbed a ‘priestess of revolt’ by the mainstream press at the time. A notorious First Wave feminist writer, she wrote seven published novels, short stories, a travel book, tracts on anti-vivisection, and many articles on the ‘Woman Question’ and other social and political issues. Her writings challenged Victorian conceptions of femininity, filial duty, marriage and domesticity.In 1877, at the age of 23, Mona married James Alexander Henryson-Caird, who was eight years her senior. His estate, Cassencarie in Kirkcudbrightshire on the South coast of Scotland, figures prominently in her fictional works. Despite clearly being taken with the romantic Gothic mansion and its surrounding idyllic countryside, which provided the setting for a number of her novels, the stifling traditional life that came with it was not to her liking. This resulted in her only spending two months of the year there, while spending the rest in London or travelling abroad mostly on her own, with her husband stayin at Cassencarie to manage the estate. They lived parallel but distinctly different lives, with separate circles of friends that reflected their differing interests and views on specific issues. Their marriage produced a son, Alister James, who was raised mainly in Scotland with his father, and whose subsequent military career was at odds with Mona’s beliefs and writings.Her work stimulated widespread discussion of such controversial subjects as undesired marital sex, birth control, unwanted pregnancy, single motherhood, wages for housework, public child care, free relationships and the right to adultery after marital breakdown. Mona Caird’s importance as an early feminist writer has recently been re-discovered by academics and Feminist scholars and her works provoke ongoing discussion on women’s issues.

ATTRIB. THOMAS BUTTERSWORTH (BRITISH, 1768-1842) OIL PA...DESCRIPTION: Attributed Thomas Buttersworth (British, 1768–1842) "The Gale of Plymouth" Oil on Canvas. Features a rendering of a large ship sailing through rough seas with smaller boats seen off in the distance. Signed lower right and dated on the back "Thomas Buttersworth "The Gale of Plymouth" November 23 1824" Thomas Buttersworth (British, 1768–1842) was born on the Isle of Wight, and joined the Royal Navy in London in 1780. He began his painting career while at sea, and the accuracy of many of his late 18th-century Mediterranean subjects, and his paintings of the Battle of St. Vincent and the Blockade of Cadiz, would indicate that they were painted on location. On his return to England, he established himself as a painter of marine scenes, executing ship portraits of larger naval and merchant vessels and important naval engagements. These included his famous Battle of Trafalgar, which was exhibited at the British Institution in 1825, and is now a part of the National Maritime Museum collection in Greenwich.He exhibited only one painting each at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and Suffolk Street, but he was a prolific artist whose works were and still are very popular with collectors.
