Early Australian + International Art - 3

< 

Four early views of Australia:
Campbells River, South of Bathurst: The Jenolan Caves: Illawarra, Coast of N.S.W: Illawarra Region.
The works each have an old label verso attributing them to the British artist Lieutenant Colonel Charles Hamilton-Smith (1776-1859). However, it is quite possible that they were done by his son Captain Charles Ferdinand Hamilton-Smith
​(1809 Britain - Australia 1862), who came to Australia in 1835. They are very similar in colour and technique to his known works such as, Whitsunday Island, auctioned by Deutscher and Hackett in 2008. Several of the views are after known images by artists such as Lewin.

Each watercolour on paper with faded original inscription below the image.
Image: 21 x 31 cm. Framed: 45 x 53 cm.

$1,850 for the group (4) incl GST
​
Charles Ferdinand, son of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, arrived in Sydney 1835. He took up a grant of land on the Hunter River, N.S.W. and was to spend the rest of his life in Australia. He had been taught drawing by his father which he continued to do, sending back many works to his father in England who was an avid collector of natural history and art from the then newer colonies.
