Catalogue of an extremely important collection of drawings in water-colour and oil paintings ..
This is an auction sale catalogue issued in London in 1923 by the firm Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, listing the drawings, watercolours and oil paintings offered from the collection of Lord Mottistone. The plates are reproductions of works offered for sale, shown rotated on the page, with a tavern interior of figures and a wooded landscape, and a decorative ornament panel. A designer might take from them the dark tonal handling of the interior scene, the soft sepia atmosphere of the landscape, and the scrolling foliate ornament.
