Pre-revolutionary France, 1677-1700i. Louis XIV, King of France (1638-1715); order, signed Louis, to [François de Montlézun de] Besmaus, governor of the Bastille, Paris; written at the camp before Cambrai, 12 April 1677 To fire the cannon of the Bastille on the day on which the Te Deum is to be sung at Notre Dame as part of the thanksgiving for the victory achieved by his brother the Duc d’Orleans [at Cassel on 11 April]; countersigned by [Jean-Baptiste] Colbert (1619-1683), First Minister of State.The battle of Cassel took place during the Franco-Dutch war, and led to the surrender of Saint-Omer and Cambrai.François de Montlézun de Besmaus (c1613-1697), a Gascon, was in 1649 appointed captain in the guards of Cardinal Mazarin, who in 1658 appointed him governor of the Bastille, a post he held until his death.ii. Certificate of the arms of Louis de la Grée, seigneur de la Ferriere, with an illustration of the arms, issued by Charles d’Hozier, Keeper of the General Armory of France; Paris, 5 February 1700Register 5, number 110A Louis de la Grée, seigneur de la Ferriere, one of the men-at-arms of the king’s company, living on the Isle-de-la- Cité, Paris, married Madeleine Manjot, widow of Henri Fremin, advocate in Parliament, in 1662.An Edict of 1696 declared that, for a coat of arms to be valid, it had to be registered with the King of Arms, for a fee naturally. As a consequence, 110,000 coats of arms were registered (of which 80,000 by non-nobles) by Charles d’Hozier, the King of Arms. The registers are still in the National Library. By 1709 registration of arms ceased altogether, and the Edict was ignored from then on.The surname d’Hozier is often associated with the both the manuscript and printed versions of the Armorial général de France. The manuscript blazons and illustrations were done under the auspices of Charles-René d’Hozier (1640-1732), while the printed work was done by his nephew Louis-Pierre d’Hozier (1685-1767). They were the Judges of Arms appointed by the king to verify claims of nobility and decide issues regarding the use of arms.

Uzo Egonu (Nigerian, 1931-1996)A New Lease of Life (Third) signed and dated 'UZO Egonu 89' (lower left)/ titled 'A new lease of life (Third) Oil 1989'; further bears the label 'Uzo Egonu/ 019' (to the stretcher bar, verso)oil on canvas 135 x 200cm (53 1/8 x 78 3/4in).(framed)Footnotes:ProvenanceA private collection.Paired with his developed cataracts in both eyes from the years 1979 to 1983, the period of painting that followed was known as his period of 'Painting in Darkness'. The works created in this period may well have had their palette mixed from memory. This would have been a time of anxiety for the artist who described it as a period of 'pulling through'. (Uzo Egonu, 'Painting in Darkness 1979-1983', undated manuscript, p 2. Artist's private papers.) Ironically included in this dark period, the palette of the present work is bright and vivacious, a technique that would transcend into the following years after Egonu received his last eye operation in 1983 restoring his sight. While his eyesight improved, the decline in Egonu's physical health given two heart attacks and a diagnosis of limited time to live motivated the artist to get his estate and administration in order, preparing for the end of his life. Outliving his health predictions, Egonu's work would again evolve, stimulated by what he believed to be 'a new lease of life'. (Egonu, 'The Circumstances leading to the creation of the work', undated paper. Artist's private papers.) It was this newly found defiance and energy that would turn Egonu's attention to a more contemplative observation of himself. This commentary began with self-portraits in the form of large-scale heads in the first of a series of paintings under the shared title A New Lease of Life. 'A person may detest exercise or walking, prefers [sic] butter to low cholesterol margarine, likes drippings... but circumstances, due to the consequences of that particular life style which affects the health, may wipe out all the detestations'.(Egonu, 'The Circumstances leading to the creation of the work', undated paper. Artist's private papers.)Aligning with the above quotation, the present work shows us the theoretical elements of a traditional still life. Depicting his reality, and the objects that surround his life, using them as a self-reflective metaphor, we see tins of food labelled 'Low Fat Yogurt', 'Sunflower margarine', 'Sunflower Oil' , and 'Skimmed milk'. Accompanied by illustrations of vegetables and fruit, this food lies beneath a building labelled 'Natural Health Clinic'. An inscription to the upper left of the work reads 'Lecithin Granules', commonly used to treat high cholesterol and further acts as an emulsifier to extend the life of food. It is an extremely rare element of Egonu's practise whereby he would include labelling and words in his art, promoting this idea that his later works following his health issues where more intentional and self-reflective in their meaning, rather than ambiguous and up for interpretation. This could be classed therefore as a type of self-portrait depicting the elements of his life that were relevant to his everyday life.Our thanks to Prof. Olu Oguibe author of 'Uzo Egonu, An African Artist in the West', pub 1995 for his assistance with the compilation of the above footnote.BibliographyChinua Achebe, 'Onitsha: Gift of the Niger', Morning Yet on Creation Day, (London: Heinemann, 1975)For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Below are to be ten thousand bats and ten thousand shou and behind the color a yellow sash with jewelry. The imperial concubine and crown princess shall follow similar regulations.'Provenance: French trade.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, little soiling, minor creasing, few tiny losses.Dimensions: 41.8 x 39 cm The present album leaf is part of the Huangchao Liqi Tushi (The Illustrated Regulations for Ceremonial Paraphernalia of the Present Dynasty), an illustrated manuscript commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor. The main body of the work began to be compiled in 1750 and was completed in 1759. After editing and further expansion of the manuscript during the ensuing years, it was duplicated by the Palace Publications Office in the Wuying Palace in 1766 and was eventually added to the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) in 1773. Only seven copies of the manuscript were produced, stored in libraries across the empire, including the Wenyuan Pavilion library in the Summer Palace (Yuanming yuan), Beijing.The Huangchai Liqi Tushi was part of the Qianlong Emperor's effort from the beginning of his reign to regulate the ritual codes and procedures, and it serves as a record of his passion for a rigid ritualized life. The book consists of six parts - ceremonial vessels, scientific equipment, dress, musical instruments, insignia, and weaponry, containing more than 1,300 leaves of illustrations and explanatory texts. As one of the major imperial commissions, the book is of monumental scale and collaborative in nature. As many as twenty-seven court painters and calligraphers were working on the commission under five editors-in-chief, Yilu (1695-1767), Jiang Pu (1708-1761), Wang Youdun (1692-1758), Guanbao (d. 1776), and He Guozong (d. 1766).The Qing dynasty Chaogua was adapted from the dragon-patterned sleeveless coats worn unofficially at the Ming dynasty court. The mid-eighteenth century court dress edicts assigned three styles of this garment to the upper ranking court women. All were made of dark navy blue silk and featured a center front opening held with five toggle and loop fastenings, angled shoulder seams and deeply cut armholes. The first and second styles were tailored as multi-sectioned constructions with horizontal bands of dragons, clouds, and waves. The third style was full length without sections. A fourth style, which could be worn by all ranks of women including the wives of nobles not related to the imperial clan and the wives of other high officials featured mang, or four-clawed dragons. The chaogua painted on the present lot is of the first style, a full-length vest made of three sections - an upper part, a section from waist to knee, and a section from knee to hem with five horizontal bands embroidered with five-clawed dragons and auspicious symbols.Literature comparison:Compare an illustrated manuscript with 38 folios preserved, two leaves showing the front and back of a similar dragon vest, the leaves of closely related size (42 x 40 cm), dated to the Qianlong period, once in the Summer Palace and now in the British Library, number OR 9430.

A FINE PAINTING OF A BODHISATTVA OF THE DIAMOND REALM, TABO STYLE, 10TH CENTURYExpert's note: The present lot was once a part of an illuminated manuscript, likely from a Prajnaparamita sutra. This has been confirmed by Tibetologist Dr. Amy Heller, who points towards several comparable works, all dating from the 10th century, and all originating from related manuscripts from this region.To receive a PDF copy of this dossier, please refer to the department. Northern India, Himachal Pradesh. Watercolors and ink on paper. Depicting a Mahabodhisattva seated in dhyanasana upon a cushioned lotus-petaled throne with the hands held in dharmachakra mudra, the palms and soles stained red, wearing a five-pointed crown, and adorned with elaborate jewelry. The figure with an hour-glass shaped torso, surrounded by flowing celestial scarves, and backed by a flaming halo. Provenance: From the collection of Michael Phillips. Michael Phillips (born 1943) is an Academy Award-winning film producer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his parents were Lawrence and Shirley Phillips, noted New York dealers in Asian fine art, selling to the Met, the LACMA, the Chicago Art Institute, and the British Museum among others. Michael Phillips is a collector of Asian art himself, particularly Indian, Southeast Asian, and Himalayan sculpture. His most important films include The Sting (winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1973), Taxi Driver (winning the Palme D'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival), and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, loss to margins, soiling, minimal fading to colors, small tears to edges.Scientific Analysis Report: An “Initial Condition Survey" with a microscopic and UV-light examination was conducted by Podany Conservation Services, USA. The examination report concludes: “Given the lack of modern materials there appears to be no clear evidence that this object is an intentional modern forgery or copy." A copy of the signed examination report, dated 18 May 2021, accompanies this lot.Dimensions: Image size 17.3 x 16.4 cm, Size incl. frame 34 x 33.8 cm Framed behind glass. (2) Constructed in 996, the Tabo Monastery was built by the Buddhist king Yeshe-OE (c. 959-1040), who was a descendant of ancient Tibetan nobility that expanded into the Spiti Valley when connecting trade routes between Ladakh and Mustang. The monastery was part of the dynasty's successful political effort to reintroduce Mahayana Buddhism throughout the region, and thus was once richly decorated with paintings and sculptures. While some of the monastery's paintings date to around 1040, we know that there have been restoration campaigns over the centuries. Prajnaparamita refers to an enlightened means of seeing the nature of reality and it is part of the Mahayana scriptures or sutras which discusses this form of transcendental knowledge. It consists of several sutra, the earliest of which is the Aṣṭasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra or 'Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines.' The Prajnaparamita sutras were first brought to Tibet during the reign of Trisong Detsen (742-796) by scholars Jinamitra and Silendrabodhi and the translator Ye shes De. A key theme of the Prajnaparamita sutras is the Bodhisattva, the 'awakening-being,' which is defined in the 8,000-line Prajnaparamita sutra as, “One who trains in all dharmas without obstruction, and knows all dharmas as they really are." The paintings which illuminate these manuscripts had a meditative purpose, delivering illumination through the images. Literature comparison: Compare a related 11th century wall painting in the assembly hall of the Tabo Monastery in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The two paintings are so similar that the present lot possibly served as an inspiration for the Tabo Monastery painting. Compare several paintings of bodhisattvas inside Tabo Monastery, depicted within identical roundels and with similar iconography. The painting also bears a close resemblance to a painting at the White Temple of Tsaparang, which belongs to the Guge style of Western Tibet.
