Condition: Excellent
Description: A beautifully rendered 19th-century graphite study, this apple branch sketch from the notebook of Virginia Granbery captures the quiet elegance of botanical draftsmanship. The composition centers on a fruiting branch in bloom, with carefully observed apples, leaves, and blossoms arranged in a natural yet highly decorative manner.
Executed with delicate shading and refined linework, the drawing demonstrates a strong academic hand and a close attention to the textures of fruit, foliage, and petal. The soft tonal modeling gives the composition both dimensionality and grace, while its notebook origin lends the work an intimate, personal quality.
Charming as both a work on paper and a piece of 19th-century artistic study, this sketch would display beautifully on its own or as part of a thoughtfully assembled salon wall.
Artist: Willem Welters
Year: c. 1928
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 27 × 36 inches
Style: Impressionist, Marine, European
Period: Early 20th Century
Condition: Excellent
Description: A luminous Mediterranean view, Capri, Italy by Willem Welters captures the celebrated coastline with warmth and remarkable sensitivity to light. Painted circa 1928, this lovely Impressionist work centers on the dramatic rock formations rising from the sea, their monumental forms glowing beneath a radiant sky. The scene is animated by brilliant blue water, sunlit stone, and soft passages of color that give the composition both freshness and elegance.
Welters employs an almost golden light that enriches every surface in the painting, drawing out vibrant tones in the cliffs, water, and surrounding landscape. Subtle shifts of lavender, cream, and pale rose in the sky contrast beautifully with the saturated Mediterranean blues below, creating a sense of calm grandeur. The brushwork remains refined yet painterly, balancing structure with the spontaneity associated with Impressionist landscape painting.
Signed lower left, this charming and highly decorative work offers both strong visual presence and timeless travel appeal. It is a wonderful example of early 20th-century European coastal painting and an inviting celebration of one of Italy’s most iconic destinations.
Artist: John Opie
Medium: Oil on panel
Dimensions: 26 × 48 inches
Style: Contemporary
Condition: Excellent
Description: A fresh and inviting contemporary landscape, Before the Game by John Opie captures a quiet moment of anticipation on a sunlit baseball field. The composition presents players scattered across the diamond, warming up and preparing, their small, simplified figures set against a broad expanse of vivid green grass and towering trees. Rather than focusing on action, Opie emphasizes atmosphere—the stillness just before play begins.
Rendered in a bright, expressive palette, the painting balances areas of bold color with softer passages of light and shadow. The lush greens of the field contrast beautifully with the clear blue sky, while the geometric shapes of the infield and bleachers provide structure within the loose, painterly execution. Opie’s restrained detail allows the viewer to take in the overall harmony of the scene, evoking both memory and place.
There is a sense of nostalgia in this work, recalling summer afternoons, community gathering spaces, and the timeless rhythm of the game. Signed lower right and presented in frame, Before the Game is a charming and accessible piece that celebrates both sport and setting with clarity and warmth.
