Jérôme Dupuis

Watercolour on card. C1990's

Selling here is an original watercolour by the well listed illustrator Greta Tomlinson (1927–2021). Signed to the lower left margin.

Condition - a very good example. One or two small grubby marks to margins. Please see images for further description.

Greta Tomlinson (1927–2021) was an English artist who worked in watercolours, oils and mixed media. At the outset of her career she produced figurative artwork for the Dan Dare cartoon strip in the Eagle comic. The daughter of a dispensing chemist, Greta Tomlinson was born at Burnley and attended the School of Art there before entering the Slade School of Fine Art in 1944 at the age of 17. She studied under Randolph Schwabe at Oxford, where the Slade was based during wartime evacuation, and afterwards in London, graduating with a Diploma of Fine Art in 1949.
In 1950 she joined the team of figure artists, under Frank Hampson, producing illustrations for the Dan Dare adventure stories that were the cover feature of the Eagle weekly comic, first published in July that year. She worked closely with Hampson's principal assistant, Harold Johns, translating Hampson's pencil sketches into colour blocked line-drawings for stories that appeared in the first five volumes of the Eagle. When Hampson fell ill, she and Johns produced the artwork for the third series of Dare's adventures, Marooned on Mercury (scripted by Chad Varah), and the pair were also responsible for illustrating several Dare strips in the first three Eagle Annuals.
In the early days of their operation, the team in Hampson's studio worked under considerable time pressure, and Tomlinson later recalled that she was “regularly drawing at three and four o'clock in the morning”. In order to capture the realism of figure posture, facial expression and clothing folds, Hampson liked to draw from life or from photographs taken in the studio, and Tomlinson became the physical model for the character Professor Jocelyn Peabody, “a first class geologist, botanist, agriculturalist and a qualified space pilot”. Peabody was a prominent figure in the Dare stories and an influential one in a broader sphere, the character's capabilities and courage helping to challenge the stereotypical images of women more familiar to the Eagle’s impressionable young audience in the 1950s.
In 1953 Johns and Tomlinson accepted a personal commission from another studio and, although this had been authorised by Marcus Morris, the Eagle’s editor, Hampson was displeased and dismissed them both. Tomlinson bore him no ill will and appeared prominently in a 1990 ITV documentary, Future Perfect, celebrating his work.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
