Marjorie Cox 1915-2003 Pastel Pekingese 1969
We are delighted to offer for auction this hugely appealing pastel of a pekingese by the artist MARJORIE COX, who has signed the pastel in the lower right hand corner, dated it 1969 and entitled it 'Yuki of Etonville'.
MARJORIE COX, was born in 1915 and left school in her mid teens. She enrolled at Miss Beatrice Flower's Art School and also attended Heatherley's Art School in London. She sold her first picture while still at school. She is one of the most prolific artists to have worked in this country and is a celebrated animal portraitist, particularly of canine subjects, in her own inimitable style.
She was an old school artist and moved around the country with little but her sketch pad and a couple of boxes of pastels. She did not drive and, therefore, waited until she had a quantity of commissions in a certain area, travelled to a central location in that area and was transported from one client to another by her clients themselves. In the 1930's she also worked for Raphael Tuck, the greetings cards manufacturer.
Her patrons included Lady Southwell, Lady Tavistock, Peter Dimmock, Phil Drabble and Nancy Fenwick, who looked after the Queen's dogs. She painted seven of the Queen's dogs for Mrs. Fenwick, corgis, dachschunds and a 'dorgi'.
Auction prices achieved for the work of Marjorie Cox and examples of her work may be found at artprice.com (164 listings), artnet.com (16 listings), and findartinfo.com (67). The highest price at auction for one of her dog studies was £1,100 of two Pekinese at Christie's in London in 1999.
Her work is always clearly signed, dated and inscribed, usually with the pet name of the subject, although she sometimes used the pedigree name, as she did with this one. She sadly died in 2003.
The pastel has been newly double mounted in two-tone acid free mountboard to complement and is newly framed in a 1 1/4" antiqued silver frame. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
Image size: 16" x 14 1/2" - 40.65cm x 36.8cm
Frame size: 23 3/4" x 21 3/4" - 60.3cm x 55.25cm
Medium: Pastels on paper
Condition: Excellent condition. The mounts and frame are new.
