Pierre-Jean David d'Angers (French, 1788 - 1856), a bronze portrait medallion of Napoleon Bonaparte, after a model from circa 1838, the relief cast figure portrayed with windswept hair and gazing to sinister and with an ornate collar, inscribed LE GENERAL BONAPARTE and DAVID to the maquette, the roundel 14.5cm diameter; a French gilt bronze portrait roundel of an infant, circa 1890, inscribed MAURICE SALON DE 87 , and Duquesnois 1887 to the maquette ; a bronze portrait relief of a lady, probably French, circa 1900, portrayed in profile and loosely modelled overall, indistinctly inscribed to lower right corner, 16.5x14.5cm; three various French bronze plaquettes, 19th and early 20th century, including a medal by Marie Alexandre Lucien Coudray depicting Orpheus, circa 1900 cast of a model designed in 1893, the largest 5.5x7cm; and a Continental carved softwood Corpus Christi, mounted on fabric backing CATALOGUE NOTES: The portrait roundel may have been part of David d'Anger's campaign to create portrait roundels of important figures, on which he embarked in 1820. The figure of Napoleon Bonaparte bears strong similarities to the iconic 1801 painting by Antoine-Jean Gros, currently at the Hermitage in Moscow. A similar example is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 08.70.1 The medal with Orpheus is said to depict the moment where the mythological character puts Cerberus, the guard dog of the underworld, to sleep with the music of his lyre. Coudray was awarded the Prix-de-Rome for this design in 1893, and the medal was offered for sale at the 1900 International Exhibition. A very similar medal is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, A.21-1914

Anglo-Indian School, c.1770 PORTRAIT OF CHARLES WESTON ESQ., 'PRESIDENT AT CULCUTTA BENGAL', 1731-1809 Inscribed on old label verso, oil on panel, oval 33 x 28cm Provenance: A Norfolk family; With Hartnell and Eyre Ltd 1986 Charles Weston (1731-1810), A Eurasian philanthropist, began life as a surgeon's apprentice and escaped capture at the Siege of Calcutta in 1757. He owed a debt of gratitude to John Zephaniah Howell who was one of 23 survivors of the Black Hole in 1756. Once Howell succeeded Clive as Governor, he supported Weston in the pursuit of his fortune. Weston was conspicuously generous in life and in death; he left a fund to give 'assistance and relief of families labouring under the pressing miseries of poverty, hunger, disease and other painful misfortune'. Weston's epitaph read 'he was a striking example that character and refined sentiments are not confined to complexion or climate'. This portrait appears on the cover of 'Poor Relations. The Making of a Eurasian Community in British India 1773-1833' by Christopher Howells, pub. Curzon 1996, a signed copy of which accompanies the painting.
