Lot description
Henry Ryland, British 1856-1924- St John the Evangelist receiving divine inspiration, with an eagle at his feet; black chalk heightened with white on paper, signed 'HENRY RYLAND' (lower left), 122 x 60 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK, since c.1990. Note: Ryland studied under Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant (1845-1902), Gustave Boulanger (1824-1888), and Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1911) in Paris, and also at the South Kensington Art School and Heatherley's in London. The Neo-Classical approach of Lefebvre and Benjamin-Constant clearly had a strong influence of Ryland's own work, as did artists like Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) and Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912).
