signed 'Nessler' (lower left) oil on canvas (Dimensions: 39.50cm x 50cm)(39.50cm x 50cm)Footnote: Provenance The Hertfordshire County Council 'Pictures For Schools' collection' Their sale; Cheffins, 21 March 2019, lot 6, where acquired by the present owner Born in Leipzig, Germany, Nessler began his artistic career at the Castelli Italian School of Art, Dresden. Despite not being Jewish, he strongly opposed National Socialism, and eventually moved to London in 1937, joining the British army shortly thereafter. After the war, he studied sculpture at St Martin's School of Art and travelled to Paris, meeting the likes of Cocteau, Sartre, Picasso, Giacometti and Matisse. French modernism, particularly Cubism, exerted a strong influence on his subsequent work. The bright colours and geometric planes used to depict the landscape surrounding Jersey, the subject of numerous works in the early 1950s, reveals the artist's optimistic post-war outlook. Nessler first exhibited his work at the Molon Gallery in 1961. He also took part in several group exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and commercial galleries in London, the provinces, and abroad. A retrospective of his work was held in 1990, which coincided with his increasing recognition in Germany. Nessler's works are now held in numerous public collections internationally.Condition report: Oil on canvas. On the reverse of the painting is an area of modern adhesive which appears to be a crude repair to a tear at the right of the painting. Around this area are raised flakes of paint. The area appears pink under ultraviolet light suggesting it may have been retouched or reworked following the damage. Quite extensive cracking throughout.
Autumn and the Poet (study) chalk pastel on board (Dimensions: 54 x 75cm )(54 x 75cm )Footnote: Provenance The Artist, by whom gifted to Margaret Lliffe née Goodwin, by descent within the family Sale; TW Gaze, Diss, Suffolk, June 2011, where purchased by the present owner We are grateful to Dr Gill Clarke for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.Evelyn Dunbar (1906-60) was part of a neglected generation of artists whose lives and artistic output are now being reappraised and their contribution to the practice and spirit of twentieth century British art duly recognised. Dunbar had a profound understanding and love of the countryside and it is notable that she was the only woman commissioned, on a salaried basis, to record women’s activities on the Home Front during the Second World War. These works for the War Artists’ Advisory Committee and in particular her lyrical, yet unsentimental paintings of the Women’s Land Army provide an important documentary record of women’s contribution to the war effort. Post war Dunbar gave more reign to her imagination and allegorical work and while living in the small village of Enstone and employed as a visiting teacher at The Ruskin School in nearby Oxford commenced work on Autumn and the Poet. Perhaps her most significant allegorical painting Autumn and the Poet was finally finished in her studio at Staple Farm, near Wye, Kent during 1958-59 having absorbed her intermittently for the previous 10 years or so. This present work is one of a number of preparatory depictions for Autumn and the Poet. The two figures symbolise “Autumn and the Poet” and are set against a backdrop of verdant Cotswold countryside at harvest time. Dunbar used her husband Roger Folley, an agricultural economist as her model for the poet, the completed work now in Maidstone Museum interestingly shows ‘the Poet’ reclining rather than seated. Much else remains the same including as here the mellow colours which convey the feeling of autumn glow as the light begins to fade. In Autumn’s right hand is gripped a long white sheet which bears the fruits of the earth, a comment on life brought to fruition. There is a sense of time passing and like the seasons, it comes full circle. Although the seasons and nature endure, Dunbar, a Christian Scientist may have had a sense of her own life coming to an end, and her inner thoughts to this effect are fused deep within the contours of the painting. She died suddenly within a year of finishing the painting. Evelyn Dunbar had signed Autumn and the Poet,a mark that it was completed. Gill Clarke author of Evelyn Dunbar War and Country published by Sansom & Company.
Stalag scene signed and numbered 'Michonze / 67.760 / Stalag XB' (lower right) watercolour (Dimensions: 30 x 40cm )(30 x 40cm )Footnote: Provenance Sale; Christie's, London, 2 December 1996, lot 218 After enlisting for the French Army in 1939, Michonze, was held as a prisoner of war in stalag XC, Nienburg am Weser, Lower Saxony, between 1940 and 1942. Stalag Scene , like so many of Michonze’s works, exhibits a surreal, naive and allegorical quality. A chaotic and transient scene, the onlooker is both included and excluded from interactions between the characters he depicts.

English School, early 19th centuryFull-length portrait of an officer of the 3rd (Prince of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards, circa 1806oil on metal 42.8 x 32cm (16 7/8 x 12 5/8in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, UK.This portrait was written up in the Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research (hereafter JSAHR) in Vol. 69, Autumn 1991, pp. 135-137 in which the sitter was incorrectly identified as a Quartermaster. The gold lace on the jacket breast, cuffs and collar clearly show that the subject is an officer, as does the gold tassel on his sword knot visible just above the boots.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
English School, 19th centuryChanging the guard - the 6th Dragoon Guards (The Carabiniers), early 1830soil on canvas 30.5 x 30.5cm (12 x 12in).Footnotes:Provenancewith The Parker Gallery, London.Private collection, UK.Wearing the 'Roman' helmet in use between 1820 and 1834, these Troopers can be dated after 1830 because there is no braiding on the chest of their coats and the lace on their cuffs and collars is yellow. The entire Regular Army was ordered to adopt gold lace for officers and yellow tape for Other Ranks in 1830 and silver/white lace was restricted to the Militia and Volunteers. As they are on guard duty, they carry no swords and have their sword slings looped up.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
English School, early 19th centuryThree quarter-length portrait of an officer of the 2nd Regiment of Hussars of the King's German Legion, circa 1812oil on canvas 33.4 x 26.6cm (13 1/8 x 10 1/2in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, UK.The sitter in this portrait has been mistaken in some books for an officer of the 18th Hussars of the British Army, but the gold cords on his jacket and the gold and crimson barrel sash identify him as being of the King's German Legion. The latter was a force, originally of Hanoverian soldiers who fled Napoleon's Europe in 1803 to fight for King George III alongside the British Army. The regiment served in Spain during the Peninsular War and at Waterloo.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
English School, late 18th centuryA three-quarter-length oval-form portrait of an officer of the Light Company of the 47th (Lancashire) Regiment of Foot, circa 1790.oil on canvas 37.2 x 29.5cm (14 5/8 x 11 5/8in).Footnotes:Provenancewith The Parker Gallery, London.Private collection, UK.Shown at a period when the British Army had adopted somewhat dandified uniforms to improve its morale after its defeat in the American War of Independence, this officer wears the 1768 Pattern uniform as modified in the following 25 years. His service in the Light Company of that regiment is shown by his wearing epaulettes on both shoulders and the appearance of a bugle-horn embroidered on a red patch at the end of his epaulette straps. The wearing of wings to indicate attachment to the Light Company only became common after 1797. His sword belt plate is of a previously unrecorded pattern that does not appear in H.G. Parkyn, Shoulder-Belt Plates and Buttons (Aldershot: Gale & Polden Ltd, 1956).An inscription on the frame suggests that this is a portrait of James Cuming. Cuming was born in Scotland 1768. He served in the West Indies 1793-1802, at the Cape of Good Hope 1806, South America 1807 and commanded the 47th Regiment of Foot in India 1808-1813. He died on the Isle of Man 16 August 1839.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
English School, 19th centuryFull-length portrait of an officer of the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays), late 1840s - early 1850s.oil on canvas 76.2 x 58.4cm (30 x 23in).Footnotes:Provenancewith The Parker Gallery, London.Private collection, UKWith his Undress cap on the table beside him, this officer wears the typical Dragoon Guard uniform of the period before the Crimean War of 1855. At that date the elaborate sabretache, worn here from exceptionally long slings, disappeared as an encumbrance unsuitable for campaigning. Indeed the war against Russia had a profound effect in modernising British Army uniforms - tail-coats disappeared and were replaced with tunics.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
J. Matthews, 19th centuryOfficer of the 14th (King's) Light Dragoons, 1830ssigned 'J.Matthews' (lower right) oil on board 31.1 x 25.4cm (12 1/4 x 10in).Footnotes:Provenancewith The Parker Gallery, London.Private collection, UK.On the orders of King William IV the Light Dragoon regiments were ordered to wear scarlet coats instead of the blue that they had worn for the previous 40 years. The 14th was given the title King's Light Dragoons after a review in July 1830 and thereafter adopted dark blue collars and cuffs with gold lace. Dubois Drahonet shows the trouser stripe as being scarlet rather than gold - See J. Spencer-Smith, Portraits for a King - the British Military Paintings of A.J. Dubois-Drahonet (London: National Army Museum, 1990). The Light Dragoons reverted to blue uniforms in 1840.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
English School, 19th centuryA European Officer, 4th Bengal Irregular Cavalry, 1840soil on board 46.4 x 39cm (18 1/4 x 15 3/8in).Footnotes:Provenancewith The Parker Gallery, London.Private collection, UK.The uniforms of the forces of the Honourable East India Company were influenced both by the dress of the British Army but also, of course, by Indian dress. The yellow kurta or long coat was a traditional Indian garment but is here combined with a white metal helmet of Germanic style and long Heavy Cavalry boots and European horse furniture, despite the fact that this regiment was designated as Light Cavalry. The officer appears to have received the Jellalabad Medal of 1842.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.

WWII WIRELESS SET. A WWII wireless set No.19, developed by Pye in 1940. The sets were used by the British Army up to the early 1950s & by Canadian Divisions during WWII. Eventually, they were also produced by a number of different manufacturers in Canada & the USA. Many Mark II versions were made for the 'Lend-lease' programme for which much military material was sent to Russia to help them combat the Nazis. Consequently, many of the No.19 sets have dual English & Russian legends on the panel, as does this one. 44x20x25cm. (Being sold with information on this wireless & photocopies of the circuit notes for this wireless).
