| 699 | Frank Wright Bourdillon, NEAC (1851-1924) IN THE WHEAT-FIELD signed, 26 x 38cm Bourdillon's newly rediscovered In the Wheat-field, undoubtedly painted en plein air is likely to date from 1885, when he was living at Oxford. He left for Cornwall in May 1886 settling first at Polperro and moving soon to Newlyn where he became a respected and popular member of the small group of painters around Stanhope Forbes. In the Wheat-field is one of several 'lost' pictures, small lyrical landscapes, recorded in the artist's notebook, other titles of which include When the Lark Sings and A Cornish Lane. Bourdillon came from an old Huguenot family and was brought up in India. Fascinated by birds and drawing he travelled to England and entered the Slade School, prior to spending a year in Paris in 1883-4. Bourdillon's work is rare as, quite suddenly, in 1892 he gave up painting and returned to India to become a missionary. See Fox (C) and F Greenacre, Artists of the Newlyn School, exhibition catalogue, 1979, pp227-233. Mellors & Kirk acknowledges the assistance of Francis Greenacre, who has commented on the work on the basis of a photograph. £3000-5000 | Two or possibly three minor old gum repairs to small holes or tears which could be easily rectified. Some accretion of surface dust and grime but in generally fine condition. NoT relined or patched and on the original stretchers.
