A Pair of Eva Hollyer (1865-1948) British. Grisaille, Oil on Canvas, Paintings

19th century
Description

A quality pair of Grisaille Oil on Canvas Painting. Signed by Eva Hollyer (1865-1948) British.

One painting features Elegant Ladies in a Garden. The other painting features a gentleman courting a young lady on a paddle boat. Both are signed and dated at the lower right. Housed in its superb quality original gilt frame from the same period. The sizes are Pictures: 10.5" × 7.5" (25cm × 19cm) Frame: 18.5" × 15" (47.7cm × 38cm.

Condition . Protected behind glass. The canvas remains unlined and is

free of any repair work.

Eva Hollyer was born in 1865 in Walworth, South London as Evangeline Grace Ellen Hollyer. She was the first child of a family of 10 of William Perring Hollyer and Grace Emily (née Rooke), who had married in 1864. It was a very artistic family. William Perring Hollyer (1834-1922) himself was a noted artist of animals and is best remembered for his paintings of highland stags, cattle and sheep which were very popular subjects in the latter half of the 19th century. William's father was Joseph Hollyer, a heraldic painter and coachbuilder of Dover who moved with his family to South London in 1851 and then diversified into the then new technology of using acid to etch glass. Several of Joseph's other children became Glass Artists and there were several generations of Hollyers who followed this trade or moved into gold-leaf signwriting. William was however the only son who used his artistic skills in painting.

FAQs

Grisaille is a painting technique executed entirely in shades of grey or neutral monochrome tones. Originating centuries earlier, it was adopted by Victorian artists to emulate classical relief sculpture, engraving, and atmospheric lighting effects on canvas.

Late 19th-century artworks typically utilized oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas. Frames from this period were constructed from carved timber coated in gesso plaster, which was then layered with gold leaf or metallic gilding.

Authentic period works display natural age-related canvas relaxation, surface craquelure within the oil paint layers, and authentic oxidation or patina on the reverse stretcher timber and gilding. Signatures or inscriptions from listed period artists further assist with identification.

A pair of framed artworks is best displayed symmetrically side by side above a focal point, such as a sideboard, mantelpiece, or hallway console. The monochromatic palette complements both contemporary minimalist walls and richly patterned traditional settings.

Dust the surface and gilt frames gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh cloths. Keep the canvases away from direct heat sources, high humidity, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent cracking or fading.
