Hofstede de Groot, A catalogue raisonné of the works of the most eminent Dutch painters of the seventeenth century, vol. X, London, 1976, p. 183, cat. no. 296The present amusing composition is an early work by the artist, painted not long after he was known to have collaborated with his father, Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635-1781): it is almost certain that he finished his father's signed Holy Family of 1681 and the earliest known signed and dated works by Willem himself are from 1682. These early works typically employed the same technique and subject matter as Frans's, with the same enamel-like smoothness and virtuosity in the display of detail. The elegant musician and drinker depicted here were favourite motifs of the Leiden 'Fine' Painters, as was the perspective by which they are shown through a finely carved, arched stone window. We do not know the earlier provenance of the present painting, but during his lifetime many of Willem's paintings were bought by Christoph August von Wackerbarth for the collection in Dresden of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland; while later in the 18th century some of the most important German and French collectors were keen to acquire examples of his paintings. Indeed, there is a related painting by van Mieris in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden, which is dated 1700, eleven years after the present work. In this later painting the figures have been transposed, the trumpeter now standing in the foreground and the figure with raised arm - this time an elderly man - having receded into the shadows behind (fig.1).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A group of Sèvres porcelain of Du Barry service type, circa 1771 or laterEach decorated with a gilt and floral monogram 'DB' in the centre, the rims with a border of urns filled with flowers linked by floral swags, a band of blue dots within gilt ovals and lines around the edge of the rims, comprising: seven plates, three lobed bowls (saladiers of the second size), three circular shallow dishes (compotiers), the plates: 24.2cm diam.; the bowls: 23.5cm diam.; the circular dishes: 21.2cm, interlaced LL monograms enclosing date letter S and painters' marks for Jean-Baptiste Tandart (l'aîné), Nicolas Catrice, Jean-Nicolas Le Bel, Nicolas Bulidon, Bertrand, Guillaume Noel in blue or puce (worn, three plates with a rim chip) (13)Footnotes:See D. Peters, Sèvres plates and services of the 18th century, vol.

There is, however, little if any difference between the painting on these pieces and others which have chromium in the green and so are without doubt decorated in the 19th century.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Meissen ten-sided bowl, circa 1730Painted in enamels and gilding in Kakiemon style, the exterior with a figure holding a flower alternating with flowers issuing from banded hedges, the interior with two figures of a boy pulling a lotus flower on a cord, alternating with two shi-shi or lion-like creatures, the brown-edged rim with a border of scrolling foliage and flowers, 24.5cm across; 10.9cm high, crossed swords mark in blue enamel, incised Japanese Palace inventory number N=254/ W (discoloured crazing to glaze)Footnotes:Provenance:Royal Collections of Saxony, Japanese Palace, DresdenThe 1770 inventory of the Japanese Palace records: 'Vierzehn Stück detto 10.eckichte Spühl-Näpfe, mit Pagoden, Blumen und blauen Fratzen, 4 1/2. Zoll hoch, 9 1/2. Zoll in Diam: No. 254 1. Stück fehlt' [Fourteen ditto 10-sided rinsing bowls, with pagodas, flowers and blue figures [...] one missing]; quoted by C. Boltz, Japanisches Palais-Inventar 1770 und Turmzimmer-Inventar 1768, in Keramos 153 (1996), p. 253. A similar bowl marked with the same inventory number remains in the Dresden porcelain collection (PE 621) and another is published by H. Jedding, Meissener Porzellan in Hamburger Privatbesitz (1982), no. 112.The Japanese bowl that served as a model for this bowl entered the collection of Augustus the Strong in March 1723 (J. Weber, Meißener Porzellane mit Dekoren nach ostasiatischen Vorbildern, I (2013), p. 25, ill. 5). It is a measure of the value that Augustus attached to that bowl, and a handful of other pieces decorated in underglaze-blue and enamels, that he must have ordered Meissen to make copies within a very short time. An entry in the inventory of the then Holländisches Palais (known as the Japanisches Palais from 1727) shows that a Meissen copy was delivered only seven months later: 'Anno 1723 in October ist dem Porc. Gewölbe anhero geliefert worden No. 69 Ein 10eckigter wie Krack Porc: gemahlter Spül Napff mit überschlagenen braunen Rande' [in October 1723 no. 69 a ten-sided rinsing bowl with everted rim painted like Kraak (ie Japanese) porcelain was delivered to the Porcelain Vaults]. It is a further indication of the importance Augustus attached to porcelain in this style that the Meissen bowl was selected in 1725 for the large gift of porcelain to Augustus' friend, Vittorio Amadeo, the King of Sardinia; it was sold by his heirs in 1968 and again in these Rooms on 18 June 2014, lot 44. A closely similar Japanese bowl, formerly in the Royal collections of Saxony (Japanese Palace inv. no. 94), is in the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, Tokyo (Weber, ibid.); another, without inventory number is published by M. Shono, Japanisches Aritaporzellan im sogenannten 'Kakiemonstil' als Vorbild für die Meißener Porzellanmanufaktur (1973), ill. 128, along with a similar Meissen example (with crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue), ill. 129.The present lot belonged to the large group of copies of mostly Japanese porcelain that was made for the Paris merchant, Lemaire, between 1729-31 and was subsequently confiscated and incorporated into the collections of Augustus the Strong in the Japanese Palace. A ten-sided rinsing bowl of 'old Indian porcelain' was among the Asian porcelain removed from the collection of Augustus the Strong on 28 November 1729 to serve as models for the porcelain ordered by Lemaire (C. Boltz, Hoym, Lemaire und Meissen, in Keramos 88 (1980), p. 16.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An unusual Meissen figure of Hofnarr Fröhlich, second half 19th centuryPossibly after a model by J.G. Kirchner, wearing a pointed white hat with a blue ribbon, a yellow jacket with iron-red cuffs and gilt details, an iron-red shirt with black braces inscribed in gilding 'J.F.' and '1732', his buff trousers with a gilt and green button and black boots, on a rectangular base with gilt band, 22.8cm high (minor restoration)Footnotes:Provenance:Anon. sale, Sotheby's Belgravia, 4 October 1973, lot 115Literature:R. Rückert, Der Hofnarr Joseph Fröhlich (1998), p. 28, ill. 8The Saxon Court Jester Joseph Fröhlich (1694-1757) was first modelled by Johann Joachim Kaendler or J.G. Kirchner around 1733 after an engraving by C.F. Boetius of 1729. The first mention of the figure is in a delivery from the porcelain store in Dresden on 7th March 1733: 'Für den Königl. Printzen von Pohlen und Littauen und Cour-Fürstl. Durchl. zu Sachsen [...] 1. Josephs Figur' (for the Royal Prince of Poland and Electoral Serene Highness of Saxony ... 1 figure of Joseph). Kaendler reworked the figure in 1736 and revised it again in 1737 and 1738. The inscribed dates on his braces range between 1733 and 1758. Fröhlich, whose full title was 'Ober-Mühlen-commisarius, Kurzweiligen Rat, Königlich-Polnischen Mühlen-Kommisarius', was depicted not only in several Meissen figures and groups, but also a variety of other materials, including faience. See Rückert (Literature above) for the definitive study of Fröhlich's life, esp. pp. 25-39.A similar figure of Joseph Fröhlich - now missing - on a gilt-edged flat and bearing the date '1733' was in the Turmzimmer of the Dresden Residence by 1900 (illustrated in a watercolour published that year by Karl Berling). R. Rückert (see above) suggests that it could be the figure of Fröhlich included in the Turmzimmer inventory of 1769, despite the description not matching precisely (the inventory describes an owl on his head and shoulder, while the figure illustrated by Berling has an owL on the shoulder and right arm). Two other examples of this figure are recorded, dated '1777' and '1734' (Rückert, p. 27).XRF-analysis of the gilding on this figure is consistent with 18th-century technology. It was not possible, however, to test the tiny spots of green enamel.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He excelled at all sports and shortly before the outbreak of war played rugby for Scotland against England, Ireland, and Wales. ¦¦Scobie was sent out to France in October 1914. Though wounded shortly after his arrival, he recovered to fight in the trenches for the remainder of the war, being twice mentioned in dispatches and winning the Military Cross. Promoted captain in 1917, he received his brevet majority just two years later. In September 1920 he returned to England, where for four years he commanded a company at Woolwich. From 1927 to 1931 he was a staff captain, and later a brigade major, at Aldershot, before spending three years overseas as director of military artillery at the Royal Military Academy, Australia, during which he was promoted brevet lieutenant-colonel. On 9 February 1927 he married Joan Duncan (b. 1904/5), daughter of William Henry Sidebotham, a solicitor, of Farnham, Surrey and they later had a daughter.¦¦By 1939 Scobie was in London, as a full colonel and assistant adjutant-general at the War Office, and on the outbreak of war was made deputy director of mobilization, a role at which he excelled. In late spring 1940 he went out to the Middle East to serve as deputy adjutant-general on General Wavell~s staff before being appointed, in August, as a brigadier, general staff, in the Sudan. There, under General Sir William Platt, he helped plan the northern arm of the massive pincer that broke Italian military power in east Africa. Scobie with Platt captured Agordat in February 1941, broke the kernel of Italian resistance at Keren in March 1941, and finally took the whole of Eritrea. In the opinion of General Sir Frank Messervy, a fellow officer and friend, it was Scobie, through his diplomatic handling of two quarrelling divisional commanders and his insistence on persevering with the attack, who saw the crucial battle of Keren through to its victorious end.¦¦In October 1941, a month before Sir Claude Auchinleck launched his ~Crusader~ offensive against Rommel, Scobie, now a major-general, was appointed to succeed General Moreshead as commander of the garrison of Tobruk. After leading the 70th British division in by sea to relieve the Australian defenders, he and his men held the fortress in the face of furious enemy assault and even broke out from the town to make contact, if only for a few hours, with Auchinleck~s advance troops. Besieged again, with only forty-eight hours of artillery ammunition left, Scobie kept attacking as the battle of Sidi Razegh raged to the south. The garrison held out for another two weeks before finally being relieved. For his efforts in Eritrea and at Tobruk he was appointed OBE in 1941 and CB in 1942.¦¦From February to August 1942, for the duration of Rommel~s counter-offensive, Scobie was once again on the staff as deputy adjutant-general. His next posting was as general officer commanding another beleaguered outpost, this time the island of Malta. There he remained, blockaded by sea and under attack from the air, until the siege was finally lifted with the conclusion of the north African campaign. He returned to Cairo in 1943 as chief of staff to General Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, commander-in-chief Middle East, where, among other tasks, he helped plan the invasion of Sicily and amphibious operations in the Aegean.¦¦In the following year Scobie was given command of the British force due for dispatch to Greece to keep order, following the German withdrawal, until a constitutional administration could be established. When he and his force duly arrived in October 1944 they found the country in a state of complete disorder and on the verge of widespread civil war. Members of EAM, the communist-led movement of national liberation, and of its military wing, ELAS, were threatening to seize power and already occupied much of Athens and the surrounding countryside. Supported by the British government, Scobie declared publicly that all guerrilla groups must disband, that he would stand by the returned Greek government in exile, led by Georgeios Papandreou, until a legal armed force was behind it and free elections could be held, and that he would protect it against any coup d~état. EAM denied the charge that they were preparing a coup, but the crisis quickly reached boiling point.¦¦In December 1944 heavy fighting broke out in Athens between ELAS and British troops. At one point British and Greek government forces seemed in danger of being overwhelmed. Reinforcements were sent, with a corps commander to take operational control, enabling Scobie to assume overall command. Only after a visit to Athens by Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden late in December did the civil strife there begin to draw to a close. Papandreou resigned, a regency was declared, and a new cabinet formed, more acceptable to EAM. But it took forty days of bitter fighting before Scobie and four ELAS delegates signed a military truce, on 11 January 1945, and disarmament of the guerrillas could start.¦¦Scobie~s fine efforts in Greece were recognized by his appointment to KBE in 1945. Most Greeks, too, held him in high esteem, perhaps unusually for a commander of foreign troops engaged as a temporary force of occupation, but their affection and respect were genuine. He received the freedom of Athens and the grand medal of the municipality, and was decorated with the grand cross of George I of Greece, and whenever in public was greeted by cheers and cries of ~Scobie! Scobie! Scobie!~. He remained in command in Greece until 1946. Abridged from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography, accessed October 2022. ¦¦
