§ Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) "Pour mes chers fiancés" - a signed and inscribed title page of L'Oeuvre Gravé de Picasso, dedicated to the engaged couple, Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek, who later married in 1956 and with sketches of them dated 20.4.56 upper left and signed in pastel "Picasso" lower centre red and blue pastel on paper 27 x 21½cm (11 x 8in) Provenance: Given by Pablo Picasso to Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek who later married; thence sold to to Eila Grahame Other Notes: "In 1956 the art periodical, VERVE, had an image of Sylvette on the cover and Sylvette and I were given a copy. We went to see Picasso that day and took the book with us, and asked Picasso if he would sign it for us. He went and found some coloured crayons and wrote the dedication, adding the little sketch of us both. The likeness of Sylvette shows how comfortable he was with producing her image, which he had previously worked with for several months. His drawing of me with my new beard is less of a likeness!" Tobias Jellinek, April 2017. Pablo Picasso had been working on a portrait of Sylvette David, aged 19, as the girl with the pony tail before doing the present cartoon sketch. "Sylvette" is the title of one of Picasso's numerous paintings featuring a young woman with a pony tail. The model for the painting, Lydia Sylvette David, also known later by her married name Lydia Corbett, was a French woman who, during the summer of 1953, worked in a pottery studio near Picasso's studio in Vallauris. Finding her appearance appealing, Picasso created 40 works inspired by her. Sylvette's portrait from 2 May 1954 is one of the last of a long series. Picasso's grandson Olivier Widmaier Picasso told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2004 that Sylvette was also the subject of the monumental "Chicago Picasso" which had been a matter of curiosity since it was unveiled. She was said to have been an inspiration for actress Brigitte Bardot and the Roger Vadim film "And God Created Woman". In 1998 Barron's published "Picasso and the Girl With a Ponytail" by Laurence Anholt - a children's book in which a shy teenager named Sylvette meets Picasso in Vallauris and becomes his model. Lydia Corbett is now an artist in her own right. Galleries exhibiting her work include Fosse Gallery Fine Art, with one exhibition being aptly named 'The Girl With the Ponytail', and the Francis Kyle Gallery. Slight damp staining along the upper right margin. Mounted and framed.

Near Le Transloy, France, 5th November 1916. For most conspicuous bravery in action when in command of the second wave of the attack. Finding that the first wave had suffered heavy casualties, its commander killed and the line wavering, Lieut Bennett advanced at the head of the second wave, and by his personal example of valour and resolution reached his objective with but sixty men. Isolated with his small party, he at once took steps to consolidate his position under heavy rifle and machine-gun fire from both flanks, and, although wounded he remained in command directing and controlling. He set an example of cheerfulness and resolution beyond all praise, and there is little doubt that but for his personal courage the attack would have checked at the outset. His Military Cross was awarded on January 1st 1916. He was also Mentioned in Despatches by Sir John French. Born Stroud Gloucester 12/1/1892 and educated at Marling School he enlisted in the Artists Rifles, whilst employed at the Bank of England. He went with his Regiment to France in October 19th 1914.
