Jamini Roy (1887-1972) Blue Nude signed in Bengali (lower right) tempera on canvas 59 x 40.5cm Provenance: Acquired by Humphry House in Calcutta, 1936 Thence by descent within the family Born in Beliatore, Bengal, Jamini Roy was an Indian artist whose work fused tradition with modernity, drawing inspiration from folk art to create a unique visual language. He is today celebrated as one of the most significant and diverse modernists of Indian art.Roy received his early training at the Government College of Art, Kolkata, where he followed a Western inspired syllabus. After obtaining his diploma in 1916, he began a career as a portraitist. From 1920, however, amidst a surge in nationalism, Roy dramatically abandoned his early academic style in favour of a more indigenous approach, influenced by the flat colours, graphic lines and stylised forms of Kalighat Patua art. Synthesising elements of traditional folk art with his own artistic sensibilities, Roy created a visual language that was both accessible and profound.During the early 1920s, working in what he called his ‘flat-technique’, Roy’s subjects were mostly women from the nearby Santal tribe. From the mid-1920s, he began creating his calligraphic works which depicted scenes of every day life, including seated figures, crawling infants and local wildlife. Although he is perhaps best-known for these works, Roy also included mythological figures and religious iconography amongst his diverse cast of subjects and motifs.Throughout his career, Roy remained steadfast in his commitment to democratising art. Rejecting elitism and championing accessibility, he believed that the transformative power of art to uplift and inspire should be available for all, across class and cultural barriers. Not only were his subjects largely plucked from the everyday, but by the end of the 1920s, he abandoned the European convention of oils and began making his own mineral and vegetable pigments from local sources.Highly decorated, in 1934 Roy received a Viceroy's gold medal and in 1955 was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the Indian Government - the third highest award a civilian can be granted. In 1956, he was made the second Fellow of the Lalit Kala Akademi - the highest honour in the fine arts conferred by the Lalit Kala Akademi, India's National Academy of Art, Government of India. Today, Roy's legacy lives on through his artworks which continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, celebrating India's rich cultural heritage and the universal language of art. Not examined out of the frame, the outermost edges areas are obscured by the frame so not available for inspection. The painted canvas demonstrates some undulation throughout which should be corrected by reframing. There is some light debris trapped beneath the glass, which has settled along the lower edges. Each corner shows some fine craquelure with some very negligible losses. Along the lower edge there is a very faint and fine abrasion resulting in negligible paint loss. Under UV the work does not suggest that there has been any overpainting, though the lower left quadrant and a small circular speck in the sitter's hair implies some bacterial growth. See additional images.
Eqbal Mehdi (1946-2008) The Young Bride signed 'EqbalMEhdi' (lower right) ink over pencil 64.5 x 49.5cm Pakistani artist, Eqbal Mehdi, has received widespread acclaim for his pen and ink drawings of subjects including street scenes, horses, and, as demonstrated by the present lot, portraits. Born to a family of poets and filmmakers, Mehdi began drawing at eight years old and received no formal instruction throughout his career. Although his work is largely focused on everyday life in Pakistan, Mehdi cited Rembrandt and Andrew Wyeth as notable influences.Demonstrating a Rembrandt-inspired use of shadow and light, the present work is an excellent example of Mehdi's oeuvre, both in subject and execution.

Duckworth, War Medal and Victory Medal named to Captain Duckworth, Second World War Defence and War Medals, unnamed as issued and Greek Order of the Redeemer. The seven mounted as worn. With full set of eight miniatures, mounted as worn and an additional miniature for the Military Cross. Robert Hugh Fagan Duckworth (1895-1980) Enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant on the 16th September 1914 and is recorded entering the First World War in France on the 22nd March 1915. His time at the front was cut short by a wound from a sniper's rifle in September 1915. A trench map of the area south of Neuve Chapelle (16.9.15 Secret No.226) has been annotated by the casualty to show the exact location of the shooting. 'Rode Bicycle under fire down road' (The Rue du Bois South West of Neuve Chapelle), 'HIT (16/5/15) and 'HUN SHOT! (by me)'. The words of Brigadier Duckworth's son tell of his injury on the 16th May 1915: In the vicinity of Neuve Chapelle on the 15th May 1915, my father, 2nd Lieutenant R.H.F. Duckworth whilst serving with the 5th Field Company Royal Engineers, 5th Brigade of the 2nd Division B.E.F., was shot by a sniper whilst he was working in no man's land. The bullet hit him in the right arm, shattering his elbow. The treatment involved a total of 42 surgical operations since he contracted Gangrene as a complication to the wound, which was a frequent occurrence in injuries received in the mud of the trenches. He was given an artificial elbow joint made in silver - an early triumph of medical science at the time and this joint lasted him until the end of his long life and was very little handicap to him. He was able to continue his service in the army and to take part in golf, polo ad a great number of other sporting activities. He was placed on light duties for two years in the U.K. and when again declared fit for active service in 1917 he was sent to Egypt. From where he took part in General Allenby's Palestine Campaign which culmination in the capture of Jerusalem from the Turks. It was during this campaign that he was awarded the Military Cross, Gazetted on the 11th April, 1918, p.4411. The Unusual Greek medal, the Order of the Redeemer, Knight, was gazetted on the 19th of January 1920, p.730, one of only a suggested 137 of these that were awarded to British troops. His C.B.E. was an Honours List award was Gazetted on the 8th June 1944, page 2574. Duckworth rose through the ranks, Captain from November 1917, eventually to the rank of Temporary Brigadier during the Second World War. Having spent time in Ceylon during the inter-war period he spent the entirety of the Second World War in India where, according to family tradition, he commanded the last Regiment of Horse. The lot is accompanied by two photograph albums, one a well annotated album dated December 1915. These show fascinating images of recuperation with nurses, 'Hospital and Sick Leave 1915 & 1916'. A cutting in the album notes his engagement to Mary Sybil (Mollie) Alms. Other images are annotated return to service in Alexandria, third battle of Gaza, Advance on Jerusalem, Shelling of Gaza, Class photographs at Chatham, Armoured Rolls Royce, a total of over 600 photographs.
