Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981) Castagnola, circa 1923 oil on board Verso: Kate Nicholson (1929-2019), Cumberland Landscape, circa 1950 oil on board 59 x 74 cm. Literature: Art and Life: Ben Nicholson, Winifred Nicholson, Christopher Wood, Alfred Wallis, William Staite Murray, 1920-1931, Philip Wilson Publishers, London, 2013, p. 15 (illustrated in colour). Winifred Nicholson and Ben Nicholson spent the first three winters of their married life in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, near Lugano. Here, away from the London art world, and inspired by visits to Paris on their journeys to and from England where they admired works by Picasso, Rousseau, Derain, Modigliani, Van Gogh, Gaugin, Cezanne and Matisse, their experiments were 'fast and furious', as described by Ben Nicholson. They worked closely together and the depth of their creative partnership is vividly demonstrated by comparing Castagnola with Ben Nicholson's 1923 (Castagnola) (National Galleries of Scotland). For further information of their time in Lugano see The Allure of the South: the Nicholsons in Italy and Switzerland, 1920-23, Sebastiano Barassi, op. cit. pp. 8-17. Cumberland Landscape is characteristic of the early poetical landscapes by Kate Nicholson, Winifred's daughter. Although Winifred Nicholson often painted on the reverse of pictures due to a shortage of materials it is rare for her to have shared a support with her daughter, although not unknown (see for example Skye (Kettle's Yard, Cambridge) which has a portrait by Winifred on the reverse). For more Cumberland landscapes by Kate Nicholson see Kate Nicholson, Jovan Nicholson, Philip Wilson Publishers, London, 2019. We are grateful to Jovan Nicholson for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.

ËœA PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF COLONEL HENDERSON, BY ABRAHAM DANIEL (c.1750-1806), CIRCA 1780 wearing a black bicorne, blue uniform with gold lace, holding his sword, on ivory, gold frame with bright-cut border and edge 5.6cm oval Abraham Daniel was born into a Jewish family in Bath and worked as an engraver and jeweller, as well as a miniaturist. Along with two brothers, he is thought to have been taught the art of miniature painting by his mother. His works are not usually signed, although apparently there is a signed miniature by him of Rabbi Moses of Plymouth. Whilst known to have worked in Plymouth, he and one brother, Joseph, became competing miniature artists in Bath, both men confusingly advertising themselves in local papers as |Mr. Daniel of Bath| (Daphne Foskett, 'Collecting Miniatures', Woodbridge,1979, p.247).

A PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF A GENTLEMAN, BY NICHOLAS (NATHANIEL) DIXON (c.1645-1708), CIRCA 1665 with long brown hair, wearing armour with lace carat, on vellum, signed with monogram, turned ebonised wood frame 6.4cm oval Nicholas Dixon was appointed Charles II's 'lymner in ordinary' in 1673, receiving the same payments and benefits as his illustrious predecessor in the post, and probable master, Samuel Cooper. In addition to portraits, his access to the Royal Collections, since he was also Keeper of the King's Picture Closet, meant he could continue the tradition of cabinet miniatures in the line of Isaac and Peter Oliver. Having lost his Royal position in 1678, his career appears to have faltered. By 1698 hard times forced him to try and sell his cabinet of limnings by lottery. This venture failed, the pictures were mortgaged and subsequently transferred to John Holles, Duke of Newcastle. Thirty of these miniatures remain at Welbeck Abbey, through inheritance.
