Roman Imperial Coinage, The Civil Wars (68-69), Revolt of Vindex, Denarius, Vienna, 68, salvs generis hvmani, Victory standing left on globe, holding wreath and palm, rev. spqr in oak wreath, 3.48g (RIC I 72; RSC 430). About very fine, scarce £300-£400 --- These coins are notable for the moderate nature of their types. The revolutionary’s portrait and name are absent; instead the coins promote the aims of peace and the restoration of senatorial power in the Principate. The figure of Victory on the reverse imitates a statue located outside one of Rome’s main senate houses. Octavian transferred the monument from Tarentum to the forecourt of the Julia Curia in 29 BC as part of his wider attempts to ingratiate himself with the senate. This image, which appeared frequently on the coinage of Augustus, became a shorthand for promoting senatorial power and influence in the early Principate. Likewise, the oak wreath upon the reverse depicts the corona civica, an honour that the senate bestowed on Octavian in 27 BC for his clemency and timely termination of the civil war.

German school: Portraits of Oscar I, king of Sweden and Norway, and his wife Josephine, oil on canvas, 19th C.Work: 70,5 x 57 cm Frame: 95 x 80,5 cm Oscar I (bornJoseph Francois Oscar Bernadotte; 4 July 1799 - 8 July 1859) was King of Sweden and Norway from 8 March 1844 until his death. He was the second monarch of the House of Bernadotte. As the only child of King Charles XIV John, Oscar inherited the thrones upon the death of his father. He married Josephine Maximiliane Napoleon (1807-1876), first by proxy at the Leuchtenberg Palace in Munich on 22 May 1823 and in person at a wedding ceremony conducted in Stockholm on 19 June 1823. She was the eldest daughter of Eugene de Beauharnais and his wife Auguste, Princess of Bavaria. She was thus step-granddaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte, granddaughter of his wife Josephine de Beauharnais and granddaughter of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria, which was reflected in the choice of her first name (link). This high quality pair is made after the 1823 marriage portraits by the German painter Joseph Karl Stieler (1781-1858).However, the Stieler portraits are no longer part of the same collection: the portrait of Oscar I was sold at Sotheby's, London in 1991 (Nov. 17, no. 99) and the Josephine paintingat Neumeister in 2015 (Oct. 29, 2015, Auktion 922, no. 11, €50.800, link).

Born into a mill-working family he left school at 12 to work as a 'piecer' dodging under the working looms to repair threads. At the outbreak of WW1 he signed up as a private and fought at Loos and through the Somme campaign. In September 1918 he was severely wounded and assigned for permanent hospital care. By February 1921 however he had recovered enough to be discharged as '80% disabled'. Unable to find employment, he rescued looms from a dump and set up his own woollen-manufacturing business.As a politician Rhodes was very active in promoting trade (especially textiles); improving working conditions, arts in the community, prison and remand reform, the application of science and technology in business, building relationships with post-War Europe and Japan, supporting the interests of Hong Kong and forging links with China. Sometimes referred to as 'the Queen's favourite Yorkshireman' he was made a Knight of the Garter in 1972. When, following his death, his daughter returned the garter insignia to Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen's PPS told his daughter 'your father was the only man who could ring up Buckingham Palace, ask if the Queen was free that afternoon – and she would agree to see him'.Rhodes began sitting for the present portrait on the 9th of July 1957 at the Slade. The work took fifty sittings, spanning one of the longest execution durations of any of Coldstream's portraits, with completion finally reached a decade later in August of 1967.Rhodes was L.S. Lowry's local MP, and an important patron of his work.

(16 x 13 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceRobin Craig Guthrie, thence by family descentPrivate Collection, U.K.Complete details of the identity of the sitter spontaneously captured in the present work are not known, but it is known that she was Venetian. The city meant much to Sickert. He lived and painted there in 1895, 1896, 1900, 1901 and 1903-4. One wife left him in Venice and he (unsuccessfully) wooed another. He not only painted its great and lesser sites, but first developed his characteristic interiors with figures there, posing local models in his rooms at Calle dei Frati. His command of Italian - and the Venetian dialect - was fluent. He visited the city for the last time in December 1929, perhaps in advance of the one-man showing of his work in the British Section at the Biennale in 1930 (he had shown a few works at the Venice Biennale in 1903 and 1912, and was to show a few more in 1932 and 1936).The present work was first owned by the artist Robin Craig Guthrie RSPP (1902-1971). According to Guthrie's son Professor David Maltby Guthrie, his father knew Sickert as a leading figure in the artistic circles of the Belsize Park and Camden Town area in which he also moved.Guthrie was primarily a portrait painter, though he also produced numerous landscapes particularly of the Sussex countryside where he grew up. He taught for a while at the Royal College of Art and his notable works include The Sermon on the Mount (Tate Collection) a portrait in oils of the actor Moira Shearer (National Portrait Gallery) and a panoramic painting of The Queen reviewing the Tank Regiment (the Tank Museum).We are grateful to Dr Wendy Baron for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Laurence Stephen Lowry R.A. (British, 1887-1976)Sailing boats signed and dated 'L.S. LOWRY 1922' (lower right)oil on canvas29.5 x 34.5 cm. (11 5/8 x 13 1/2 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, by whom gifted to Frank Jopling Fletcher, thence by descent to the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.One of the earliest surviving drawings by L.S. Lowry, executed at fifteen years of age and listed as No.1 in Mervyn Levy's The Drawings of L.S. Lowry, is titled Yachts (1902) and was executed at Lytham St. Anne's, where the Lowry family often spent their summer holidays. Lowry was deeply connected to the sea, and it remained a constant throughout his career with images of pleasure boats, tankers or just open water interspersed amongst and providing contrast to the urban landscapes of his native Manchester. The sea was a calming force and provided an opportunity for reflection amidst an otherwise hectic world and as the years went on it became nostalgic and offered a degree of familiarity which Lowry craved. In a taped recording with Gerald B Cotton, Lowry talked with passion about his experience of the sea and of his time with a herring fleet seventy-five miles out into the North Sea off Peterhead and Fraserburgh, his parents waiting for him on the shore. He saw amongst the currents and waves the same struggle which occupied the people among whom he lived and worked, the 'Battle of Life' as it were, and was intoxicated by it. In his text on the artist, T.G. Rosenthal writes 'it is not mere speculation to say that the sea, wherever he found it, gave him ample opportunity to work with his beloved, and so ingeniously exploited, white paint. More than the industrials, and more than his earth-bound landscapes the views of the sea had one overpowering component which existed on a much smaller – and frequently mostly hidden – aspect, namely an uninterrupted horizon where the preponderant white sky met the edge of the sea.' (T.G. Rosenthal, L.S. Lowry, The Art and the Artist, Unicorn Press, Norwich, 2010, p.208). Sailing boats dates to 1922 making it an intriguingly early Lowry seascape and one which would have appealed to his mother who favoured these depictions of the Lancashire coast. The painting bears a debt to the artist's influential tutor, Adolphe Valette, who pioneered Impressionism in Manchester and encouraged his students to explore the variation of light and colour in their work as can be seen here amongst thick and visible brushstrokes. The inclusion of a figure in the boat located at the foreground of the present work is reminiscent of Valette's images of boats on the Manchester Ship Canal, which themselves were inspired by Monet's studies of the River Thames. L.S. Lowry met Frank Jopling Fletcher at art college, and they remained lifelong friends. Lowry later painted his portrait, which is now a part of the Salford Museum and Art Gallery collection.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Keith Vaughan (British, 1912-1977)Portrait of a Boy signed and dated 'Keith Vaughan 1937-42.' (lower right)gouache and charcoal on card43.4 x 35.3 cm. (17 x 13 7/8 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Thos. Agnew & Sons, LondonSale; Sotheby's, London, 30 September 1998, lot 192, where acquired by the family of the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.Only a handful of Vaughan's paintings survive from the 1930s, including portraits such as the present work. Several represent young men seated or standing (see Portrait Head, 1935; Portrait of Dick Vaughan, circa 1935 and Seated Figure in an Armchair, circa 1937). In each, the adolescent sitters gently turn their heads to the right and are conceived volumetrically with delicate light and shade. The absence of background details or distracting settings, compels us to focus attention on the sitters' features and facial expression.The model for Portrait of a Boy could be one of a number of people that posed for Vaughan at that time including his brother, Harold Colebrook (his partner at the time) or various friends who were cajoled into posing for him. He conveys a melancholic mood as though quietly considering his place in the world while reflecting on something inexpressible, unspoken and deeply felt. His introspective demeanour equally echoes Vaughan's own insecurities towards the end of the 1930s. While working for Lintas Advertising Agency as a layout man, he was unable to pursue his ambition to become a full-time painter. His crippling shyness and perceived lack of talent, coupled with pressing project schedules, meant he had to endure a humdrum existence between the design studio and his mother's flat in Hampstead. Trusted colleagues such as the Australian painter John Passmore, introduced Vaughan to the work of Picasso while he was at Lintas. The sensitive handling of the forms, pink colouring and thoughtful character of the boy, no doubt, owe a debt to Picasso's Rose Period paintings.We are grateful to Gerard Hastings for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
