Born in London, Strange had a notable career that spanned across continents. He served as the Chief Justice of Nova Scotia from 1789 to 1797, where he was celebrated for his efforts in freeing enslaved Black Nova Scotians. Following this, he was knighted in 1798 and appointed the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Madras (British India), a position he held from 1801 to 1817. During his time in India, he played a crucial role in establishing the judicial system and later authored a seminal twovolume text, "Elements of Hindu Law," which became a definitive work on the subject for many years.

The label also mentions that the piece was purchased at a "Johnson Auction" in 1982, linking it to a specific moment in its ownership history.
The artist's signature, S.L., adds a personal touch and a new dimension to this beautiful work. The style—a detailed marine scene featuring a sailing ship, a steamship, and a light tower—is characteristic of 19thcentury maritime art. These paintings were popular with collectors and were often used to decorate homes and offices, reflecting a strong connection to naval history and trade.

Love 08.2 96" and titled "Goat" (though the imagery suggests "Lions & Goats" or a similar interpretation). This captivating piece exhibits characteristics often associated with folk art or outsider art, with its distinctive style and imaginative composition.The artwork features a whimsical and somewhat surreal scene. On the left, a figure with a large, spherical head and ornate attire sits, surrounded by floral elements. To the right, a powerful, lionlike figure stands, clutching a smaller creature, possibly a goat or lamb. Below them, a smaller, piglike or goatlike animal grazes near a basket of flowers. The background suggests a fantastical landscape with abstract trees and perhaps falling elements. The intricate crosshatching and bold lines give the piece a dynamic and textured feel.This is a wonderful opportunity to own a singular piece of original art with a fascinating narrative quality. Its distinctive style would make it a conversation starter and a unique addition to any art collection, particularly for those who appreciate folk art, outsider art, or unique illustrative works.Historical Background:While specific biographical information for the artist "D. Love" is not immediately available, the style and execution of this piece place it within a tradition of selftaught artists who create highly personal and often symbolic worlds. "Outsider art" refers to art created by selftaught artists, often outside the mainstream art world and sometimes characterized by unique perspectives and unconventional techniques. Folk art often shares these qualities, focusing on traditional themes or personal narratives rendered in a direct, unvarnished style. This piece, dated 1996, represents a contemporary example of such artistic expression.Measurements:
