William Buelow Gould, Australian 1803-1853- Still life scenes with dead rabbit and birds; oils on canvas, each 25.6 x 30.5 cm., two (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: We are grateful to Dr Garry Darby for confirming the attribution of the present pair of paintings. Gould was a British-born Tasmanian artist, who was transported to Australia as a convict in 1827. Drawing on the artistic training which he received before his transportation, Gould continued to practice painting and watercolour whilst in Australia, producing still-lives and botanical studies whilst under placement as a house servant to two amateur natural historians, Dr James Scott and Dr William de Little. The present works, depicting tables laden with dead birds and game (as in many of Gould's paintings) recall the compositions of Flemish artists such as Joachim Beuckelaer (c.1533-c.1570), but are nevertheless imbued with the artist's highly distinctive style. These pieces therefore fit very neatly into Gould's oeuvre, displaying a striking similarity with the paintings held by institutions such as the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. For further information on the artist and his oeuvre, see Garry Darby, 'The life and works of William Gould', Sydney, 1980.品相报告: Please refer to department for condition report
