A Staffordshire Portrait Untitled figure of Rev. Joseph Fletcher or Rev. Thomas Raffles ((1788-1863). Titled versions of both preachers exist, but the figure depicted is identical in each. Pugh and later authors have been uncertain whether Joseph Fletcher is ’the elder’ (1784-1843), or his son ‘the younger’ (1816-76). The untitled figure at auction is in fine under glaze black, and holds a bible resting on a pedestal, all on a round pale green base. There is a conspicuous finger print on the lilac enamel paint of the bible which must have been applied in the pottery before the paint had dried. Ref: Pugh, plate 19, fig.41.

A FINE AND RARE PAIR OF PAINTED WOOD BRIDAL FIGURES, LORO BLONYOEast Java, late 19th to early 20th century. Each figure is superbly carved with angular proportions, wearing a fine sarong richly decorated with diapered patterns, secured by a belt tied around the waist. Their faces with almond-shaped eyes, gently arched eyebrows, and full lips. Their headdresses are quite different, hers in the form of a tiara and his in the form of two overlapping headbands. (2)Provenance: From a private collection in Jakarta, Indonesia, acquired in 1984. The collection of Alexander Goetz, acquired from the above in 2018. Alexander Goetz is a noted German art expert and collector who specializes in Indonesian works of art. As a young man, he built and sailed wooden boats around the world, and eventually arrived in Bali in 1971. Within a year, he became involved in the local art scene and in 1975, he was sponsored by the Indonesian Institute of Science to do research on contemporary art in Bali. In 1990, Goetz and his family moved to London where he opened a gallery specializing in Southeast Asian art, with Indonesia as the main focus. Since 2015, Alexander Goetz has run Gallery 101, a dedicated art space in Kabupaten Badung, Bali.Condition: Very good condition with old wear, distinct signs of weathering and erosion, minor losses, age cracks, worm holes, loss of pigments, possibly minor touchups.Weight: 6.7 kg and 6.1 kg Dimensions: Height 71.5 cm and 70.5 cmThis pair of figures represents Dewi Sri, the rice harvest goddess, and her consort Sadono. Dewi Sri is a deity associated with fertility and prosperity due to her connections to rice and rice harvest. The figures hark back to pre-Islamic culture on Java and later were incorporated into the syncretic ritual practices of the Javanese. Traditionally, the figures were placed at the base of the canopied wedding bed (krobongan) to promote a prosperous marriage. This practice was initially restricted to royal and aristocratic families but the custom later spread to other societal groups. Once the wedding ceremony had taken place, the figures were removed and replaced by the bride and groom themselves.Expert's note: The present Loro Blonyo figures were worked in the distinct style of the Nganjuk court, which existed until the end of the 19th century, located between Ponorogo and Kediri, and was connected to the Kediri court. The Nganjuk style is probably the rarest of all palace styles in Java. It combines the sophisticated angular body shape from Ponorogo with the naturalistic portrait-style faces of Kediri.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related pair of Loro Blonyo figures, 50.8 cm and 54 cm high, dated “perhaps 1900-1950”, in the collection of the Asian Art Museum San Francisco, object number 2016.287.a-.b.

DOMINGO MARTINEZ (Seville, 1688 - 1749) and BALTASAR BOUTTATS (Antwerp, 1666/1682-1756)."The majestic and portentous monument of Seville", 1737.Engraving.Paper with faults glued to canvas.Size: 146 x 86 cm.Work that reflects the Funerary catafalque monument of the bishop of Seville, carried out in 1737, which was designed by Domingo Martínez. This artist was trained in his native city, Lucas Valdés being one of his teachers. The sources indicate that he was appreciated in his day, as he received important commissions such as those from the archbishop of Seville, for whom he executed several paintings for the cathedral of the Andalusian capital and the church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación in Umbrete. During Philip V's court stay in Seville (1729-33) he was also in contact with French painters in the king's service, such as Jean Ranc and Louis-Michel van Loo, whose influence was evident in his work, combined with Murillo's direct inheritance. On the other hand, it was precisely Ranc who proposed Martínez as court painter, an offer which the painter rejected, however, as he did not wish to move to Madrid with the king. He had several disciples, and we know that his workshop trained Andrés de Rubira, Pedro Tortolero and Juan de Espinal, the latter of whom would eventually become his son-in-law and heir to the family workshop. His first major work was the decorative ensemble of the church of the Colegio de San Telmo, with paintings on the life of Christ and his relationship with the sea, executed in 1724. Six years later he produced two large paintings for the Convent of Santa Paula in Seville. In the 1730s he also executed individual works and ensembles for churches in Seville and its province, always on religious themes, as well as the portrait of Archbishop Luis de Salcedo y Azcona for the Archbishop's Palace in Seville (1739). He was equally prolific in the last decade of his life, when he executed tempera decorations for the churches of Santa Ana and San Luis de los Franceses in Seville, as well as several canvases. His last work, executed around 1748, was a set of eight canvases depicting the great masquerade held in Seville in June of the previous year on the occasion of Ferdinand VI's accession to the throne. Works by Martínez are currently housed in the Seville Museum of Fine Arts.

School of Guatemala; first third of the 18th century."Don Francisco Rodríguez de Rivas".Oil on panel.Size: 38 x 33 cm; 50 x 36 cm (frame).Work in which the portrait of Don Francisco Rodríguez de Rivas (1662-c.1731), known for his positions of captain general and governor of Guatemala, as it is well pointed out in the border that accompanies the effigy of the protagonist. Don Francisco Rodríguez enlisted in the navy around 1680, to which he devoted ten years of his life. In 1698 he was appointed by Charles II, corregidor of the town of Rio Bamba, located in Quito. After his arrival he was appointed lieutenant captain general of Peru, his achievements in this company led him directly to the post of governor in Guatemala in 1711, although it was not until 1716 when he acceded to his post in which he remained until 1724. In this work we see the dashing, authoritative protagonist in the centre of the composition, with his command staff resting on the ground and his elegant wig. Aesthetically the work follows the precepts established by court portraiture, with the sitter in the centre of the scene and the large curtain in the background. This portrait also includes the coat of arms in the upper left-hand corner and the aforementioned border specifying the identity of the sitter.It should be noted that during Spanish colonial rule, painting was mainly religious in nature, aimed at Christianising the indigenous peoples. Local painters were modelled on Spanish works, which they followed literally in terms of type and iconography. The most frequent models were harquebusier angels and triangular virgins. Despite this influence of Spanish painting, it is worth mentioning that the establishment of the Viceroyalties was a period of artistic fecundity, fostering commissions for numerous pictorial works, sculptures and architectural structures that could satisfy the establishment of the institutions. However, in the early years of the 19th century, at the time of the independence and political opening up of some of the colonies, several artists began to represent a new model of painting with its own identity.
