A significant Ruth Everard landscape, titled 'Serenitas Fulgens' sold last year for a world record price of R1.84 million at Bonhams Auction, London. Earlier this year a significant work by Rosamund Everard Steenkamp, titled 'The Blue Furrow', though modestly sized, sold for R802,000 at the Strauss and Co Auction in Johannesburg. Whilst the Everard Group have always had a strong following, this confirms their valuable standing in the history of South African art and the international art market. |

The Everard Group is a family of renowned South African Artists, spanning four generations over a period of more than 100 years, which continues to this day. The works of the Everards hang in all major South African National Art Galleries including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Port Elizabeth, East London, Bloemfontein and Kimberley, as well as collections abroad including Africa House in London. The group originally consisted of 4 members, beginning with Bertha Everard, her sister Edith King and her two daughters Ruth and Rosamund. It continued to grow to the next immediate generation with Ruth's daughter Leonora Everard haden, and Leonora's daughter Nichola Leigh. Leonora along with her daughter continue to produce work to the present day. Bertha and Edith arrived in South Africa, from England, at the turn of the last century, where they settled on the farm called Bonnefoi, which lies on the escarpment in Mpumalanga, where the highveld drops into steep valleys and gorges to the lowveld. This inspired their great interest and love of the African Landscape which continues to influence the artists today. |
