Cyril Edward Power (British, 1872-1951)Skaters (Coppel CEP 29) Linocut printed in spectrum red, light cobalt blue and viridian, circa 1932, a good, strong impression, on tissue thin oriental laid paper, signed and titled in pencil, a proof aside from the edition of 60, framedBlock 198 x 316mm (7 3/4 x 12 3/8in)Sheet 222 x 386mm (8 3/4 x 15 1/4in)Footnotes:The 1920s and 1930s were the heyday for figure skating, popularized by the glamorous World Champion Norwegian skater Sonja Henie. She incorporated ballet movements into her routines, which was certainly an inspiration for Power in producing this image of three graceful skaters. Power perfectly balances the composition, using sinuous lines to show the graceful dancer-like qualities of the figures and sweeping diagonals and curves to indicate their movement.Power experimented a lot with this linocut to ensure the colours were correct. He noted that the red should not be too heavy as this could seep into the green or blue areas when the sheet was rubbed. Printing was done by rubbing the paper with a burnishing spoon, or with the fingers for particularly intricate areas and Power made a note to print the green over the red last to avoid the colour spreading. This impression is evidence of his care and attention during the printing process.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Cyril Edward Power (British, 1872-1951)Air Raid (Coppel CEP 42) Linocut printed in red, light cobalt blue, grey and dark blue, circa 1935, a fine, rare and vibrant impression, on tissue thin oriental paper, signed, titled and numbered 18/60 in pencil, further titled and signed in capitals in the lower margin, framedBlock 312 x 295mm (12 3/8 x 11 5/8in)Sheet 385 x 335mm (15 1/8 x 13 1/8in)Footnotes:This dynamic image was inspired by the aerial dogfights of the First World War when Power served in the Royal Flying Corps, supervising the workshops at Lympne Aerodrome in Kent. Power captures the intensity of the sortie by cropping into the image and placing the viewer right in the middle of the action. The sweeping curvilinear dissecting lines and saturated colours give a strong sense of movement and convey the thrill and danger of aerial combat.We have not found any previous auction records for this work.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lill Tschudi (Swiss, 1911-2004)Fixing the Wires (Coppel LT 26) Linocut printed in black, greyish beige and light blue, 1932, a richly inked impression, on tissue thin oriental laid paper, signed, numbered 5/50 and annotated 'U.S.A.' in pencil, further signed, titled and annotated 'Col. Lino £2/2' in the lower margin, from the second edition created for the United States in 1937 (there was also a UK edition of 50), framedBlock 302 x 202mm (11 7/8 x 8in)Sheet 348 x 233mm (13 5/8 x 9 1/8in)Footnotes:This is one of Tschudi's best known works, much admired for its accomplished execution and complex composition, the more impressive as it was produced when the artist was just 20. Flight was so impressed that he included the work in his lino-cutting manual in 1934 to illustrate perfectly balanced form and colour.'The most important point to consider..is the arrangement whereby each colour block is considered a space-filling whole, a well as part of the final composition made up of the superimposition of all the colour harmonies.'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Cyril Edward Power (British, 1872-1951)The Tube Train (Coppel CEP 41) Linocut printed in yellow, red, light cobalt blue and dark blue, circa 1934, a strong and vibrant impression, on tissue thin oriental laid paper, signed, titled and numbered 17/60 in pencil, also signed and titled in capitals in pencil in the lower margin, framedBlock 310 x 318mm (12 x 12 1/2in)Sheet 375 x 382mm (14 3/4 x 15in)Footnotes:In this image Power celebrates the efficient underground system transporting passengers in modern well-lit carriages which travel at speed, as suggested by the tilt of the carriage and swinging strap-handles. He also conveys a sense of the anonymous and somewhat isolating nature of the daily commute, where passengers are packed into a confined space but do not interact with each other, emphasized by the rows of the newspapers and faces in profile.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Cyril Edward Power (British, 1872-1951)The Trio (Coppel CEP 44) Linocut printed in light yellow-orange ochre, red, light cobalt blue, viridian and dark blue, circa 1936, a richly inked impression, on tissue thin oriental laid paper, signed and titled in pencil, one of only a few impressions, the edition is unknown, framedBlock 248 x 190mm (9 3/4 x 7 1/2in)Sheet 302 x 222mm (11 7/8 x 8 3/4in)Footnotes:Both Power and his fellow artist and Grosvenor School co-founder, Sybil Andrews, were accomplished musicians and Power celebrates their artistic talents here by placing himself at the harpsichord, Sybil Andrews on the viola da gamba and their friend, Max Champion, on the treble recorder. The Grosvenor School artists usually produced images of anonymous figures, representative of certain types, so it is unusual for the artist to produce an image of identifiable people, including himself.The tight composition creates an intimate atmosphere where the viewer becomes part of the audience. The strong diagonal lines and bold colours suggest the energy involved in this musical session.Coppel notes that the edition is unknown. It appears that an edition of 60 was intended, with an impression numbered 4/60 appearing at auction in 2006 and an experimental proof sold at Bonhams in 2018.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

William Hurst Ashpitel (1776-1852) Design for Ormond Bridge, Dublin 1805, watercolour on paper, approx. 107cms high x 38cms wide (42" x 15"), framed. (1) * Over the centuries on the River Liffey, there have been several bridges built at Ormond Quay, at the point that links Winetavern Street to the South, with Chancery Place and the Four Courts to the North. In 1802, the humpback bridge designed by the Semple brothers in the mid-eighteenth century was swept away in a severe storm. A public competition was held to find an architect to design a replacement, and William Hurst Ashpitel of London was among those who entered the competition. His design won, as recorded in the inscription on this drawing: "Design for Ormond Bridge over the River Liffey, Dublin, submitted to the Corporation agreeably to public advertisement approv'd by them and honor'd with the premium of sixty guineas W. H. Ashpitel Architect 1805." Ashpitel's drawing shows an elevation of the proposed bridge as seen from the east. Painted in sepia ink and Indian ink washes, it is a fine example of architectural rendering, and an important document in Irish architectural history, particularly as the architects of Ormond Bridge (now named O'Donovan Rossa Bridge) have heretofore been identified only as George Knowles and James Savage. The bridge, as built, is still there today and is essentially the same structure shown in Ashpitel's prize-winning drawing. Consisting of a wide and gently cambered roadway over three elliptical arches, it is Neo-Classical in design. In the drawing, a barge, sails aloft, navigates underneath the bridge, demonstrating the ample space provided by its graceful arches, while carriages, carts and pedestrians cross overhead. The balustrades are fitted with iron lanterns, and the arches embellished with Greek fret patterns. The entrance colonnade to the Four Courts can be seen on the right. In the background can be seen a temporary bridge, erected to take traffic while the new bridge was being built. Although Ashpitel's drawing is dated 1805, the new bridge took almost a decade to build, and Knowles and Savage were the architects employed to oversee the works. It is at a point on the river close to the original Viking settlement of Dublin, and many archaeological finds came to light during the years of construction. Completed in 1813 it was formally opened two years later and was initially named Richmond Bridge, after the Viceroy. Great pride was taken in the fact that the central arch had a longer span than any bridge in London. There were a few changes made to Ashpitel's design. The fret patterning was omitted, and keystones carved with Riverine heads were added, but otherwise the bridge today is identical to the one depicted in his drawing. A pupil of Daniel Asher Alexander, William Hurst Ashpitel was an architect and surveyor who worked mainly in London. Having assisted Alexander in the design and building of the London docks, he was later a pupil of John Rennie the Elder, working on the Kennet and Avon canal, and also on the tunnel that ran underneath the city of Bath. After working in partnership with James Savage, Ashpitel, who was a member of the Surveyors' Club, set up his own practice in London. Working in both Classical and Gothic styles, he was involved in projects in Whitechapel and Hackney. Among the buildings he designed was a house for Sir Charles Talbot at Deepdene, in Surrey. Ashpitel's son Arthur was also an architect, and a noted writer on architecture. Dr. Peter Murray, 2023

Michael Angelo Hayes (1820-1877) A View of Sackville Street (1854), watercolour and ink on paper, approx. 49cms high x 67cms wide (19" x 26"), heightened with gouache, framed. (1) In 1854, Michael Angelo Hayes painted A View of Sackville Street, showing the Post Office, Nelson’s Pillar, and the palatial Mart of the Messrs. McSwiney and Co. The view shows Sackville Street (now O’Connell Street) with, on the right, the new department store ‘McSwiney, Delaney & Co’, due to open in May the following year. A business venture by George Delaney and Peter Paul McSwiney, some thirty years later it was re-named Clery & Co., but continued in business. In the mid 1860’s, when McSwiney was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin, Hayes, who was his brother-in-law, worked for him as secretary. He evidently regarded this watercolour as one of his finest and in 1888, a highly-finished watercolour entitled Sackville Street, Twenty-Five Years Ago, was shown at the Irish Exhibition in London--that painting is likely the version now in the National Gallery of Ireland. The present painting appears to be an earlier work by Hayes, and is full of the incidental detail he observed in the busy street, including a man in the foreground holding a sign, “Summer Goods - McSwiney Delaney & Co’. The pavements are crowded with people, dressed in the latest fashions, the men in top hats and the women wearing crinoline dresses. Horse-drawn omnibuses, carriages, jaunting cars and drays traverse the cobblestones. The painting is an important record of Dublin’s main thoroughfare in the mid-nineteenth century; today Nelson’s Pillar is no longer there, while Clery’s Department Store was destroyed in 1916 and rebuilt six years later. While it closed its doors in recent years, there are plans to renovate the building as offices and a hotel. Born in Waterford in 1820, Michael Angelo Hayes was given his first lessons in art by his father Edward Hayes (1797-1864), a portrait and equestrian painter. Around 1831, the family moved to Dublin, and having begun to exhibit at the Royal Hibernian Academy, aged seventeen, Hayes went on to specialise in equestrian and military subjects. He is perhaps best known for his illustrations Car-Driving in the South of Ireland in the Year 1836 which were published as aquatint prints by Ackerman. He painted many scenes of horse racing and hunting, including The Race for the Corinthian Cup at Punchestown (1854). In 1842 he was appointed “Military Painter-in-ordinary” to the Lord Lieutenant, and painted a watercolour of troops parading at Dublin Castle. He also depicted the Yorkshire Hussars in 1840, and The Charge of the 3rd King’s Own Light Dragoons at Moodkee, an engagement in 1845 during the First Sikh War. In 1846 he painted 16th Lancers Breaking the Square at Aliwal and nine years later, The Heavy Cavalry Charge at Balaclava. Hayes’s paintings were based on direct observation and he made a detailed study of equestrian anatomy, writing a paper in 1876 entitled The Delineation of Animals in Rapid Motion. He also painted early animations, called ‘phenakistoscopes’ of people dancing. In the late 1840’s Hayes was in London, where he became an Associate Member of the New Society of Painters in Water Colour. However most of his career was spent in Dublin; he became a member of the RHA in 1854, and was elected Secretary two years later, when George Petrie was President. The two men quarrelled and over the years following the Academy’s activities were marred by bitter disputes. Many of Hayes’s works were published as engravings and lithographs, including a series illustrating the ballad “Savourneen Deelish” (his sweet love). He died in 1877, having fallen into a water tank on the roof of his house and drowned. Dr. Peter Murray, 2023

* Amadeo Modigliani (Italian, 1884-1920) 'Femme Accoudee' Portrait of de Mme Anka Zberowskapencil on paper laid down on boardsigned41 x 25cmPlease note this lot attracts an additional import tax of 5% on the hammer price Provenance: Madame Hanka Zborowska (wife of the artist’s dealer); Galerie Zac, Paris; Ronauld Laaren, The Netherlands; Parke-Bernet, New York, 13th May 1964; Bloomsbury Auctions, London, 12th July 2009;Literature: Oscaldo Patani, Amadeo Modigliani, Catalogue generale; Disegni 1906-1920, Milano 1991. no. 124. Illustrated. A photo-certificate issued by the Wildenstein Institute, Paris was issued for this work.Private Collection Guernsey.The primitive style of this Expressionist painter is perhaps best epitomised by the many portraits he painted of Hanka (Anka). These hang in the major art galleries, such as the New York Museum of Modern Art and the London Tate. In this sketch, as with Klimpt, it has been drawn with a very light pencil, so the positioning of the frame to avoid too much reflection, is critical for easy viewing.Madame Zberwoska was the daughter of a Polish aristocrat who, with her husband, arrived in Paris on 1914 with both becoming very close to the artist, her husband Leo was his main agent whilst she remained his primary model, until his early death aged only 35. It is likely therefore that this drawing was executed only a few years before his death. Other artists who painted her include Utrillo, Derain and Fujita. Modigliani drawings are both uncommon and expensive, so given its excellent Provenance and Literary references this is a rare chance to acquire a work by an artist now eagerly sought.***CONDITION REPORT***Paper evenly discoloured with further darker damp spots, looks very flat so thought to be laid down, signature lower right corner, housed in a later card mount and modern glazed gilt frame, various Exhibition labels verso.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.
