306-283 BC. Tetradrachm, 17.16gg (1h). Uncertain Macedonia, c. 290 BC. Obv: Diademed head of king right with bull's horns. Rx: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ Poseidon seated left on rock, holding aphlaston in outstretched right hand and trident in raised left hand; monograms in inner fields. Newell 100. Ex Berk 128, 29 August 2002, lot 82. Poseidon hurling a trident is the common type of Demetrius’ tetradrachm reverses, symbolizing the king’s deeds during the war against the Ptolemaic navy in the Aegean. Much less frequent is the type of the victorious god, sitting relaxed at the seashore with the trophies of war. Newell was certainly right in suggesting that this type might belong to a later stage of Demetrius’ life when he was struggling in mainland Greece with Sparta, Thebes, and his rivals for the throne of Macedon, Alexander V and Pyrrhos. Powerful portrait of king wearing royal horn and diadem. Near Mint State.

Rx: NERONI CLAVD DIVI F CAES AVG GERM IMP TR P around oak wreath enclosing EX S C. BM 3. Paris 8. Cohen 7 (30 Fr.). RIC 2 (R2). Ex Philip T. Ashton Collection. Purchased from Spartan Numismatics, September 2006. Agrippina's rapid loss of influence after successfully engineering Claudius' death and Nero's accession to the throne, culminating in her expulsion from the palace by Nero, is reflected in the gold and silver coinage of Nero's first regnal year. Agrippina is prominent in Nero's first coin type as emperor, shown by our denarius: her titles occupy the obverse, relegating Nero's titles to the reverse, and her portrait faces Nero's, though in the subordinate right-hand position. In the second type, the titles changed places, Nero's now occupying the obverse, and the portraits became jugate, with Agrippina behind Nero. Thereafter, Agrippina was entirely excluded from the coinage. Excellent vis-á-vis portraits of Nero and his mother. Planchet break on Agrippina's head. aEF.

Colin Kraay in his unpublished die catalogue of Vespasian's sestertii of 70-71 AD, no. 97, cited for this die combination our coin only, from the Ryan and Levis collections. This coin is part of Vespasian's earliest sestertius issue of 71 AD, with CAESAR VESPASIANVS...COS III in the obverse legend, which is characterized by a large and interesting variety of imperial portraits, bust types, and reverse types, for example the unusual laureate, draped bust on our coin, rather than the normal head laureate right. This draped bust type may be seen from the back as on our coin, or seen from the side as on BMC pl. 34.3, a distinction that is overlooked in the new RIC. Struck on a broad flan, this small flawless portrait of Vespasian is surrounded by an extremely long legend. The quality of this coin can be seen by the two exceptional collectors who owned it.

c. 400-390 BC, unsigned dies by Euainetos. Decadrachm, 43.13gg (8h). Obv: Quadriga galloping left, driven by a charioteer holding reins and directing the horses with a goad; above, Nike flying right to crown the charioteer; in exergue, panoply of arms on two steps: cuirass, two greaves, and a Phrygian helmet. Rx: ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ Head of nymph Arethusa left, wearing a reed wreath, triple ear pendant, and necklace; around, four dolphins. Gallatin F VIIa/RIV. Ex Stack's, 12 January 2009, Golden Horn, lot 2135. On the obverse, the charioteer seems to be rounding the turning post, the most dangerous moment of the race, so urges on the right-hand pair of horses with his goad while pulling back the left-hand pair with the reins. The drama on the obverse has its counterpart in the eternal beauty of the reverse, depicting the head of Arethusa, the nymph of the local well on Ortygia, a small island belonging to Syracuse, whose features were copied on many other Greek coinages and have also inspired modern connoisseurs such as Winckelmann, Payne Knight, and Goethe. Of the Euainetos decadrachms, while many are signed, there is a large group unsigned with the cockle shell symbol behind the head of Arethusa. In many cases these are struck with some of the most beautiful dies. This coin has incredible centering. The obverse is complete except for the tip of one horse's nose. The reverse, bearing the portrait of Arethusa, is struck on a very broad flan showing the complete name of the city above Arethusa's head and all of the dolphins are extremely clear except for the fin of one and the tip of the nose of another. The centered head of Arethusa is beautifully struck, making it a monument of classical Greek art. More important than the decadrachms of Kimon, this reverse die is one of the most copied coins in the world starting with immediately after it was struck, copied by the Carthaginians in Sicily and continuing all the way to Victorian times and beyond.

[§] JENNIFER MCRAE (SCOTTISH B.1959) FABIO ON RED Signed with initials and dated '09, oil on canvas 20.25cm x 15cm (8in x 6in) Note: Jennifer McRae is a contemporary painter best known for her distinctive portraits. Born in 1959, McRae studied painting at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1987-1992, where she received a First Class degree in Fine Art. After completing her studies she moved to Edinburgh and joined the Printmaker's Workshops in which she continued to develop her skills. In 2002 she was awarded a bursary placement at the Prince's Drawing School in London. McRae's talent lies in her ability of capturing the individuality and mood of each sitter, and her acute attention to detail. Her distinct style continues to be widely recognised and greatly admired. As a result, she has been commissioned to paint a number of well-known figures including Judi Dench, Michael Frayn and Sir Chris Hoy. As well as receiving numerous awards, including the BP Portrait Award, McRae's work can be found in several public and private collections including the National Portrait Gallery, and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

[§] ALAN DAVIE C.B.E., H.R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1920-2014) CLASSICAL HEAD - SELF-PORTRAIT Signed and indistinctly dated '46 / '49, watercolour 37cm x 27cm (14.5in x 10.25in) Exhibited: Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh Note: Few British artists of the 20th century are quite an intriguing as Alan Davie. Low key and independent, Davie operated out with the art world 'scene' until his death in 2014 which means that, despite his popularity amongst critics and collectors, he isn't the household name he perhaps deserves to be. Born in Grangemouth, Scotland in 1920, Davie studied at the Edinburgh College of Art, developing a fascination with Continental artists including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. The quintessential polymath, his artistry encompassed jewellery-making, poetry and, most significantly of all, jazz music. He was an extremely talented musician and constantly sought to find ways to break down the boundaries of expression; seeking to literally convey music on canvas. The list of his friends and admirers is quite extraordinary given his lack of ego and choice to plough a furrow out of the limelight. He met and was admired by the great collector Peggy Guggenheim in Venice in the late 1940s and was close to members of the American Abstract Expressionist movement including Jackson Pollock. However, Davie gradually moved away from gestural expression to a more clarified vision, as shown in this fantastic example which is amply demonstrative of the complexity of his ideas. Taking reference points from a vast area of art history - Celtic, Buddhist, African, Hindi and Modernist to name but a few - he created a language of emblems and symbols with the aim of capturing the "mysterious and spiritual forces normally beyond our comprehension". Davie's esotericism and eccentricity earned him the reputation as something of a "shaman", a fitting title for an artist who sought to live his entire life as an exploration of the magic that underpins art, music and philosophy. The artist has had retrospectives at the Barbican, London, Tate St Ives and Tate Britain. He was appointed CBE in 1972 and elected a senior Royal Academician in 2012.
