Robert Baker (1909 - 1992), oil on panel, students preparing for theatrical performance, early 1930s, unsigned, 135cm x 94cm, in arch-top wooden frame. Baker was given a commission in the early 1930s instigated by the political insider Thomas Jones to paint murals at The Welsh Working Mans College, Coleg Harlach. The murals produced in situ in the dining hall, consisted of portraits of Welsh types painted on piers projecting into the room between which Baker created 2 landscape panoramas. A second series of murals consisted of 11 detachable pictures showed scenes from the daily life of the school, based on the loose narrative sequence of the young miner leaving home to go to the college and his subsequent experience there. This panel which probably includes a self-portrait of the artist, seated, putting on make-up, shows elements of a raised stage in the foreground and an animated background scene. Provenance: De'accessioned from Coleg Harlach in 2013, originally sold October 2015 with assistance from Liss Fine Art in cataloging the workIn good condition

INDIA. MUGHAL EMPIRE. Nur al-Din Muhammad Jahangir, AH 1014-1037 (1605-1627 CE).Gold Mohur, AH 1031//16 (1620). Agra. Class A. Zodiac constellation of Nemasp/Dhanusa.Obv.: Centaur, galloping left, head and upper torso right, preparing to fire arrow from bow; radiate sun surrounds.Rev.: Legend and date in Persian.In secure plastic holder, graded PCGS Genuine - XF Details (98 - Damage) , certification number 44168938.Reference: Wright-581; Hull 1400-2; KM-180.17; BM-348; Fr-770Weight: 10.85 g.Composition: Gold.The Memoirs of Jahangir [Tuzk-e Jahangiri] (Entry for 20 March 1619)In the 29th year of his reign, the Mughal emperor Akbar (1556-1605) established the Din-e Ilahi (literally faith of God), a syncretic belief system that incorporated elements of the different religious beliefs in his empire. Immediately thereafter, Akbar began counting his reign in accordance with the tenets this new belief system. Known as the Ilahi Era, dating was now based on a solar, rather than lunar, calendar with the year divided into twelve Ilahi months.Akbar's early successors continued to employ this dating system. Jahangir (1605-1628), Akbar's son and immediate successor, used the Ilahi Era to great artistic effect by issuing two series of mohurs that incorporated Ilahi Era elements. The earliest series, known as the portrait series, since the coins show the emperor on the obverse, all show the constellation Leo superimposed over the sun – a reference to Jahangir's birth in August. This series was struck within a three-year span early in Jahangir's reign and are quite rare. The second series, known as the zodiac series, since each of the twelve constellations of the Zodiac is represented on the reverse, was a much larger series. Struck both in gold and silver, the zodiac series was issued from several mints (with Agra being the primary), and like the previous series, minted over three or four years. Since the Ilahi months were solar months and corresponded with the solar ecliptic (an imaginary line in the sky that marks the annual path of the sun), each month was represented by an appropriate sign of the Zodiac, recording its particular month of issue.Because many of these coins had been recalled and melted by Jahangir's successor, Shah Jahan, original strikes are very rare. Collector restrikes were periodically issued over the following century, and though they are more often encountered than the originals, are relatively rare themselves. Numismatists have divided the portrait and zodiac series mohurs into four classes:Class A: undisputed original strikes, characterized by deep relief, somewhat uneven flans, and rounded calligraphy.Class B: possibly original strikes, but more likely minted in the first decade or two following Jahangir's death. The relief is shallower, of a more uniform appearance, and the calligraphy is more square.Class C: mohurs of Class A or B that have had the zodiac type removed and re-engraved.Class D: later imitations and forgeries.PLEASE NOTE: A 22.50% buyer's premium will be charged separately.
