Extensive concert tours throughout Europe established her reputation as one of the leading violinists of her generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing her marriage to the distinguished conductor Sir Charles Hallé in 1888, she became widely known as Lady Hallé and enjoyed immense popularity throughout Britain.

The artist draws depth from a narrow tonal range—building form with refined transitions of light and shadow that articulate the facial planes with clarity and intensity.

Serious collectors consistently respond to portraiture that operates on multiple levels: aesthetic strength, historical context, and cultural meaning. This work captures that intersection. Its scale gives it authority, the monochrome treatment gives it permanence, and the sitter’s stature gives it narrative power. In practical collecting terms, this is the kind of piece that anchors a room and a collection—instantly recognisable, visually disciplined, and rich with cultural relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2611\" data-start=\"2608\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2659\" data-start=\"2613\"\u003e🏛️ About the Artist (Paul Karslake FRSA)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3294\" data-start=\"2660\"\u003ePaul Karslake was a celebrated British portrait artist recognised for high-impact depictions of iconic figures from music, film, and public life. As a \u003cstrong data-end=\"2857\" data-start=\"2811\"\u003eFellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA)\u003c\/strong\u003e, he developed a strong international following for portraits that combine confident likeness with contemporary presentation. Karslake’s collecting profile is driven by exactly what he demonstrates here: bold composition, tonal control, and the ability to translate fame into lasting visual iconography. His works are widely sought for their “wall power” and their position at the intersection of modern portraiture and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"3299\" data-start=\"3296\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"3337\" data-start=\"3301\"\u003e🧩 Context in Karslake’s Oeuvre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4052\" data-start=\"3338\"\u003eThis Bob Marley portrait sits naturally within Karslake’s signature territory—portraits of major cultural icons rendered with immediacy, technical control, and contemporary style. Karslake repeatedly returned to sitters drawn from music and popular culture, producing works that function as modern icon portraits rather than simple likenesses. In that context, Marley is an ideal subject: instantly recognisable, historically important, and visually suited to Karslake’s dramatic monochrome approach. Collectors familiar with Karslake’s practice will recognise this work as a coherent example of his broader artistic project—documenting and elevating twentieth-century cultural legends through refined portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4057\" data-start=\"4054\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4073\" data-start=\"4059\"\u003e✍️ Signed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4198\" data-start=\"4074\"\u003eThe work is \u003cstrong data-end=\"4113\" data-start=\"4086\"\u003esigned by Paul Karslake\u003c\/strong\u003e on the front, confirming authorship and reinforcing its desirability for collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4203\" data-start=\"4200\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4220\" data-start=\"4205\"\u003e🖼️ Framed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4353\" data-start=\"4221\"\u003eOffered \u003cstrong data-end=\"4260\" data-start=\"4229\"\u003eframed and ready to display\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the portrait a finished, statement presentation suitable for immediate installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4358\" data-start=\"4355\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4372\" data-start=\"4360\"\u003e📏 Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4457\" data-start=\"4373\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4384\" data-start=\"4373\"\u003eCanvas:\u003c\/strong\u003e 79 cm × 98 cm\u003cbr data-end=\"4401\" data-start=\"4398\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4412\" data-start=\"4401\"\u003eFramed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 102 cm × Width 122 cm × Depth 2.54 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4462\" data-start=\"4459\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4482\" data-start=\"4464\"\u003e📜 Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4885\" data-start=\"4483\"\u003eThe painting has documented auction provenance.

From breaking waves on the Cornish coast at first light, to vibrant, crumbling Venetian facades. From a storm arriving in a sharply lit Lakeland valley, to a drooling 1000kg Hereford bull!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eI have a love for the outdoors, for animals and for nature in general. I am fascinated by the interplay between a subject and light and how changing weather can alter the essence of something so completely. Strong light, and the resulting colors and shadows, are often the inspiration and form the starting point for a picture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWhile my paintings cover several subjects, the approach is fairly consistent. The way I paint is quite energetic, with gestural, spontaneous marks and sweeping strokes. Since many of the subjects I choose are ‘moving’ (sea, skies, animals), the marks hopefully convey some of this motion and energy and give the paintings their liveliness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eI work on a comparatively large scale (typically 70cm x 50cm or bigger), which allows for a loose approach. Much smaller and I find the process becomes a bit fiddly! I mostly work in pastel \u0026amp; watercolor together, the mediums soon becoming mixed up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eThe pastel will sometimes get wet and moved around within the paint, becoming simply a pigment. Other times it is used over the top of the dry paint. Through this method, the vibrancy can be reintroduced with the pastels and the painting can be changed at any stage. This leaves plenty of room to experiment on the surface without worrying about spoiling the painting, which I find quite liberating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eI have also recently discovered a new love for painting in acrylic. I find the vibrancy and depth of the pigments particularly good for my marine subjects and the intense hues sometimes found when the sun combines with seawater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eI try to create paintings that are as uplifting and inspiring as the subjects are to me and to convey the energy and vibrancy that draw me to them.

He was commissioned as an ensign in the British Army in 1787, serving in Ireland as aide-de-camp to two successive lords' lieutenants of Ireland. He was also elected as a member of Parliament in the Irish House of Commons. He was a colonel by 1796 and saw action in the Netherlands and in India, where he fought in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War at the Battle of Seringapatam. He was appointed governor of Seringapatam and Mysore in 1799 and, as a newly appointed major-general, won a decisive victory over the Maratha Confederacy at the Battle of Assaye in 1803.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWellesley rose to prominence as a general during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, and was promoted to the rank of field marshal after leading the allied forces to victory against the French Empire at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. Following Napoleon's exile in 1814, he served as the ambassador to France and was granted a dukedom. During the Hundred Days in 1815, he commanded the allied army which, together with a Prussian Army under Blucher, defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.

After the end of his active military career, he returned to politics. He was twice British prime minister as a member of the Tory party from 1828 to 1830 and for a little less than a month in 1834. He oversaw the passage of the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, but opposed the Reform Act 1832.

He drew birds as a child and was encouraged in this by the wildlife artist Archibald Thorburn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eHe exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts \u0026amp; Royal Institute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eThe family relocated to Edinburgh, and Donald attended Edinburgh Academy. There he met a former pupil, George Waters ton, Director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in Scotland, and President of the Midlothian Ornithologists' Club, which became the Scottish Ornithologists' Club in 1936.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eTogether with his elder brother, Eric (1914-1999), they were among the first members of the newly founded Scottish Ornithologists' Club in 1933, and helped to set up a bird observatory on the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth. After attending Oxford University and then undergoing war service in India, he was further encouraged by two ornithologists at Tyron, Dumfriesshire, the Rev. J.M. McWilliam, and Sir Arthur Duncan, Chairman of the Nature Conservancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eDonald Watson specialized in painting birds in their natural environment. He had his first one-man exhibition in Edinburgh in 1949, followed by London, Glasgow, Oxford, Humphries as well as Toronto and Luxembourg. He illustrated over 30 books, including the Oxford Book of British Birds. Furthermore, he became a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists, and President of the Scottish Ornithologists' Club. Furthermore, he also was a local bird recorder for Galloway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eHe was not only a painter, but also a gifted author. His first book, written and illustrated by him, was \"Birds of Moor and Mountain\" (1972), followed by \"The Hen Harrier\" (1977), \"A Bird Artist in Scotland\" (1988), and \"One Pair of Eyes\" (1994).\u003cbr\u003eHe and his wife, Joan, settled in St. John's Town of Dairy in a house called Barony.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eHe died in Humphries. He and his wife are buried in Dairy Kirk yard. The Donald Watson Gallery, an exhibition space for wildlife artists at Waters ton House in Already, East Latvian is named after him.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eAlthough they are the most colorful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover. The screaming call usually lets you know a jay is nearby, and it is usually given when a bird is on the move, so watch for a bird flying between the trees with its distinctive flash of white on the rump. Jays are famous for their acorn feeding habits and in the autumn you may see them burying acorns for retrieving later in the winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eCirca mid 20th century dated 1957.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eProvenance written in pen verso first purchased by J.M.

His meticulous study of animal anatomy and behavior, combined with a sensitive eye for landscape, made him a favorite among Dutch aristocrats and collectors.

He was installed on 16 July 1758.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis oil painting on canvas depicting Pope Clement XIII, painted circa 1760. The painting has been carried out in an exceptional manner, painted by a hand of the greatest skill; creating very realistic impressions within the faces of the pope and cherub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe painting depicts Pope Clement XIII next to a Cherub. The Pope is looking directly towards the audience whilst the Cherub is holding the Bible Sacra.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bible Sacra was written in Venice, Italy, in 1740 by Francisco Peter in which was recognized by Popes Sixths V and Clement VIII. The Bible Sacra is the Latin translation of The Holy Bible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pope places his hands in front of him, invoking the audience to join him and the Cherub (Gods messenger on earth) to worship and commemorate the glorification of the newly Beatified Sebastian Maggi. Sebastian Maggi, also known as Blessed Sebastian Maggi O. P. (Order of Preachers) was and Italian Roman Catholic Priest and a member of the Dominicans, he also served as a confessor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe lived between 1414 and 1496 and was beatified by Pope Clement XIII on the 15 April 1760 at Saint Peter's Basilica, Papal States. In the painting, the Angel represents the message of God, carrying God's instructions (Bible Sacra), to God's representative on Earth, Pope Clement XIII to convey the message of the beatification and worship of the Blessed Priest Sebastian Maggi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe painting would have been commissioned, especially to commemorate the occasion, making it an important piece of Italian Ecclesiastical history. On the Sacred book that the Cherub holds has a Latin written verse from the Bible Sacra: \"Prophet De Thesauro So Nova Et Veteran\" which is from the book of Matthew, 13: 52. There is a further inscription to the bottom left of the painting, the letters pained by hand in Latin, translate to the following: The highest order issued by the grace of God from the year 1740 (referring to the date the Bible Sacra was published), for the Head of Priests (Pope Clement XIII) in 1760 (the year of Sebastian Maggi's beatification), to invite all to worship the Blessed Martyr Order of Preachers, Sebastian (Sebastian Maggi O. P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis would have belonged to a Church or monastic institution in Italy. Please note the intricate detail, such as the lacework of the Pope's sleeves and his life-like features, such as the incredible detail of facial hair, wrinkles and even eye vessels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePope Clement XIII His pontificate was overshadowed by the constant pressure to suppress the Society of Jesus but despite this, he championed their order and also proved to be their greatest defender at that time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe was also one of the few early popes who favored dialogue with Old Catholic Protestants and to this effect hoped to mend the schism with the Catholic Church that existed in England and the low countries. These efforts ultimately bore little fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHis early life Carlo Della Tore di Rezoning was born in 1693 to a recently ennobled family of Venice, the second of two children of the man who bought the unfinished palace on the Grand Canal (now Ca' Rezoning) and finished its construction. His parents were Giovanni Batista Rezoning and Victoria Barbarian, and he had a brother called Aurelio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarlo received a Jesuit education in Bologna and later studied at the University of Padua where he obtained his doctorate in canon law and civil law. From there, he travelled to Rome where he attended the Pontifical Academy of Ecclesiastical Nobles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1716 Rezoning became the Referendum of the Apostolic Signature and in 1721 was appointed Governor of Fans. He was ordained to the priesthood on 23 December 1731 in Rome. Pope Clement XII appointed him to the cardinal ate in 1737 as the Cardinal-Deacon of San Nicola in Career. He also filled various important posts in the Roman Curia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRezoning was chosen as Bishop of Padua in 1743, and he received episcopal consecration in Rome by Pope Benedict XIV himself, in the presence of Giuseppe Accoramboni and cardinal Antonio Salerno Gentile as co-consecrators. Rezoning visited his diocese on frequent occasions and reformed the way that the diocese ran, paying attention to the social needs of the diocese. He was the first to do this in five decades. He later opted to become the Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria in Araceli in 1747 and later still to become the Cardinal-Priest of San Marco in 1755,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElection to the papacy, Pope Benedict XIV died of gout in 1758 and the College of Cardinals gathered at the papal conclave in order to elect a successor. Direct negotiations between the rival factions resulted in the proposal for the election of Rezoning. On the evening of 6 July 1758, Rezoning received 31 votes out of a possible 44, one more than the required amount. He selected the pontifical name of \"Clement XIII\" in honor of Pope Clement XII, who elevated him to the cardinal ate. Rezoning was crowned as pontiff on 16 July 1758 by the protodeacon, Cardinal Alessandro Albania.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotwithstanding the meekness and affability of his upright and moderate character, he was modest to a fault (he had the classical sculptures in the Vatican provided with mass-produced fig leaves) and generous with his extensive private fortune. He also permitted vernacular translations of the Bible in Catholic countries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jesuits, Clement XIII's pontificate was repeatedly disturbed by disputes respecting the pressures to suppress the Jesuits coming from the progressive Enlightenment circles of the philosophes in France.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII placed the Encyclopedia of D'Alembert and Diderot on the Index, but this index was not as effective as it had been in the previous century. More unexpected resistance came from the less progressive courts of Spain, the Two Sicilian, and Portugal. In 1758 the reforming minister of Joseph I of Portugal (1750–77), the Marquis of Combat, expelled the Jesuits from Portugal, and transported them all to Civitavecchia, as a \"gift for the Pope.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1760, Combat sent the papal nuncio home and recalled the Portuguese ambassador from the Vatican. The pamphlet titled the Brief Relation, which claimed the Jesuits had created their own sovereign independent kingdom in South America and tyrannized the Native Americans, all in the interest of an insatiable ambition and avarice, [1] did damage to the Jesuit cause as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII's tomb in St. Peter's Basilica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn 8 November 1760, Clement XIII issued a Papal bull Quantum ornaments, which approved the request of King Charles III of Spain to invoke the Immaculate Conception as the Patroness of Spain, along with its eastern and western territories, while continuing to recognize Saint James the Greater than co-patron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn France, the Parliament of Paris, with its strong upper bourgeois background and Jansenist sympathies, began its campaign to expel the Jesuits from France in the spring of 1761, and the published excerpts from Jesuit writings, the Extract yes assertions, provided anti-Jesuit ammunition (though, arguably, many of the statements the Extract contained were made to look worse than they were through judicious omission of context).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThough a congregation of bishops assembled at Paris in December 1761 recommended no action, Louis XV of France (1715–74) promulgated a royal order permitting the Society to remain in France, with the proviso that certain essentially liberalizing changes in their institution satisfy the Parliament with a French Jesuit vicar-general who would be independent of the general in Rome. When the Parliament by the arrest of 2 August 1762 suppressed the Jesuits in France and imposed untenable conditions on any who remained in the country, Clement XIII protested against this invasion of the Church's rights and annulled the arrest. Louis XV's ministers could not permit such an abrogation of French law, and the King finally expelled the Jesuits in November 1764.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII warmly espoused the Jesuit order in a papal bull Apostolicum ascend, 7 January 1765, which dismissed criticisms of the Jesuits as calumnies and praised the order's usefulness; it was largely ignored: by 1768 the Jesuits had been expelled from France, the Two Sicilian and Parma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Spain, they appeared to be safe, but Charles III of Spain (1759–88), aware of the drawn-out contentions in Bourbon France, decided on a more peremptory efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the night of 2–3 April 1767, all the Jesuit houses of Spain were suddenly surrounded, the inhabitants arrested, shipped to the ports in the clothes they were wearing and bundled onto ships for Civitavecchia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-The King's letter to Clement XIII promised that his allowance of 100 piasters each year would be withdrawn for the whole order, should any one of them venture at any time to write anything in self-defense or in criticism of the motives for the expulsion,  motives that he refused to discuss, then or in the future.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch the same fate awaited them in the territories of the Bourbon Duke of Parma and Piacenza, advised by the liberal minister Guillaume du Til lot. In 1768, Clement XIII issued a strong protest (monitoring) against the policy of the Burmese government. The question of the investiture of Parma aggravated the Pope's troubles. The Bourbon Kings espoused their relative's quarrel, seized Avignon, Benedetto and Pontecorvo, and united in a peremptory demand for the total suppression of the Jesuits (January 1769).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriven to extremes, Clement XIII consented to call a consistory to consider the step, but on the very eve of the day set for its meeting he died, not without suspicion of poison, of which, however, there appears to be no conclusive evidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcumenism, Clement XIII backed plans to reunite the Catholic Church, with Old Catholic branches that split from Rome in 1724 over the issue of Papal authority, as well as with Protestants. This made little progress since Clement refused to compromise on doctrine with Protestants or on Papal authority with Old Catholics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn support of this policy, he recognized the Hanoverian's as Kings of Great Britain despite the long-term residence in Rome of the Catholic House of Stuart. When James Francis Edward Stuart, aka James III died in 1766, Clement refused to recognize his son Charles Edward Stuart as Charles III, despite the objections of his brother Cardinal Henry Benedict Stuart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII created 52 new cardinals in seven consistories in his pontificate. The pope created his nephew Carlo as a cardinal in his first consistory and later created Antonio Antonelli - who would succeed him as Pope Clement XIV - as a cardinal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pope approved the cults for several individuals: Andrew of Montreal and Vincent Kadlubek on 18 February 1764, Angeles Agostini Mazzini on 7 March 1761, Antoine Tarot on 22 February 1767, Augustine Novella in 1759, Elizabeth Achier on 19 July 1766, James Burton in 1766, Francesco Marion on 5 December 1764, Mattia de Nazarei on 27 July 1765, Sebastian Maggi on 15 April 1760 and Angela Medici on 30 April 1768. He formally beatified Beatrix of Ester the Elder on 19 November 1763, Bernard of Corleone on 15 May 1768 and Gregorio Barbarian on 6 July 1761.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII canonized four saints in his pontificate: Jerome Emiliano, Joseph Catalan, Joseph of Cupertino, and Strafing of Montegranaro on 16 July 1767.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath, Clement XIII died during the night of 2 February 1769 in Rome of an apoplexy. He was laid to rest on 8 February 1769 in the Vatican, but his remains were transferred on 27 September 1774 to a monument in the Vatican that had been sculpted by Antonio Canola at the request of Senator Antonio Rezoning, the nephew of the late pontiff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the Annual Register, for 1758: Pope Clement XIII was \"the honestest man in the world; a most exemplary ecclesiastic; of the purest morals; devout, steady, learned, diligent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvenance bought from high end fine art auction in the Southern Shires.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith hanging thread on the back ready for immediate home display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredible conversation piece for your guests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe select \u0026amp; sell paintings based upon quality \u0026amp; significance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition report.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered in fine used condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaving various foxing staining, craquelure and paint loss in places to the painting surface, paint touch ups in places it has also been relined.
