§ Augustus Edwin John, OM, RA (British, 1878-1961) Portrait of Alexandra (Alick) Schepeler red chalk 35 x 25cm (14 x 10in) Provenance: Private collection, Cambridge. Exhibited: Folio Spring Exhibition, English and French Master Drawings, No.9a. Rebecca John dates the present exceptional portrait of Alick Schepeler to 1906-1907. It is one of an important group of drawings of Alick Schepeler by Augustus John, and from his best period. Three studies of the sitter are in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, the Manchester City Art Gallery, and there are several in the USA. Alexandra (Alick) Schepeler was the embodiment of John?s romantic ideal; she was part Irish and part German and had been born in Minsk, Russia, in March 1882, making her way to England as a child through Poland. She was employed as a secretary by the Illustrated London News; hard-working and also hard partying at night, she lived for passion, both physical and romantic love. Alick met Augustus John through her friend Frieda Bloch who was studying at the Slade. John and Schepeler kept up a secret correspondence for many years, and throughout many of his other relationships. In 1907, John lived in London for a year and during this time she became his muse. John thought of Alick as an enigma and often compared her to mythological women, most often a water nymph, in his many letters - his ""rose of my soul"" and ""jeune fille mysterieuse et gaie"". He called her ""Undine"" after the female water sprites. We are grateful to Rebecca John for her assistance with the catalogue entry. Under glass and the corners look to be stuck down, with some discolouration and old glue visible and with a little crinkling.

§ John Melville (British, 1902-1986) Still life of yellow tulips in a vase signed lower right ""John Melville"" watercolour 31 x 25cm (12 x 10in) John Melville is one of English art`s neglected modernists par excellence. Working in relative isolation in Birmingham, his compelling hybrid style - a mixture of surrealism and cubism - yielded memorable images of the figure or still life. In spite of his provincial position, he was by no means unknown - he exhibited with leading dealers like Lucy Wertheim and Erica Brausen, won the critical endorsement of Herbert Read and showed many times with the English surrealist group. His later work saw this gifted and individual artist step beyond the influence of Picasso and create wildly expressive landscapes of a disturbing, disquieting or apocalyptic kind. Although generally out of sync with the hedonistic Sixties, Melville nonetheless painted with an imaginative overdrive that broke all stylistic categories and in so doing followed the example of Picasso in anticipating the thematic angst and formal frenzy of 1980s neo-expressionist painting. Melville was a painter`s painter, a natural colourist of breadth, charm and distinction, and a genuine visionary who refused to compromise with the art establishment. The quality always wins out in the long run and Melville reminds us that to have been out on a limb, like Theodore Major in the north, or John Tunnard in Cornwall, could be a symptom of genius at play. Lots of thunderflies under the glass but image is fine.

Arthur Boyd (Australian, 1920-1999) Magic Flute II signed in pencil lower right ""Arthur Boyd"" and numbered 21/25 collagraph 66 x 54cm (26 x 21in) Arthur Boyd was born in Murrumbeena, Victoria, into an artistic family, being the grandson of renowned landscape artist Arthur Merric, who was heavily influential and a strong supporter of Boyd`s artistic talent from an early age. After serving in the war, during which time he produced numerous works depicting life in battle, he returned to Murrumbeena, where he turned his hand to pottery, ceramic painting and sculpture. During the late 1940s and 50s Boyd returned to painting, travelling to Victoria`s Wimmera county and Central Australia; it was during this period of his career when he found great popularity due to these landscape paintings. Perhaps Boyd`s best know series was that which focused on the lives of indigenous aboriginals living in the Australian outback; The Bride series was completed between 1957 and 1959, and focused on the rights and rituals of this community mixed with the Western traditions of modern Australia. Part of this series is now held in the National Gallery of Australia. After a spell in Europe, Boyd and his wife Yvonne returned to Australia, settling near the Shoalhaven River on the New South Wales coast, and his paintings of the Shoalhaven became some of his most recognised landscapes. During his life, Boyd was part of The Antipodeans, a group of Melbourne artists which included, amongst others, David Boyd, John Brack and Charles Blackman. He received an Order of Australia, and his work is held in numerous public and private collections, both internationally and in his native Australia.

He attended on an ad-hoc basis art and technical schools in Melbourne 1932-34 and then full-time at the National Gallery School, Victoria, 1934-36. He moved to England in 1955 and the following year was awarded an Italian Government Scholarship taking him to Europe to study the Old Masters. His exhibiting career was long and prestigious and his work was shown in all the major art galleries and museums in the world from the Tate in London to the MOMA in New York. His commercial gallery venues included the Redfern Gallery, Waddington Gallery, Marlborough Fine Art and many more in the UK alone. Condition is fine.

§ Margaret Traherne (British, 1919-2006) Entry into Jerusalem signed on the reverse ""M Trahearne"" felt applique 66 x 102cm (26 x 40in) Margaret Traherne was a painter, textile and stained glass artist, born Hazel Wilkes at Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, who lived for seven years in New York State before returning to England. On her return to England she attended Croydon School of Art, 1936-38 where her teachers included Ruskin Spear. Some years later in 1944 after winning a scholarship to the Royal College of Art she furthered her studies under Lawrence Lee and Martin Travers, leaving in 1947. Though always a painter, she worked also in glass and textiles and is probably best known for her ten windows in the Chapel of Unity, Coventry Cathedral and several other major works in stained glass including the Manchester Regiment window in Manchester Cathedral and the Lady Chapel Windows in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.

Subsequent service with the 87th in the West Indies and in the Peninsular War, Talavera, Barossa, Tarifa, Vitoria, and Nivelle, where he was badly wounded. In 1837 he was "appointed to command the Mysore division of the Madras army. In the First Opium War Gough was sent to command the troops at Canton (Guangzhou) The forts defending Canton were captured on 26-7 May 1841, and Gough was made GCB. After the arrival of Admiral Sir William Parker in July, Gough commanded the troops in the combined operations which ended with the capture of the great fortified city of Chinkiang (Zhenjiang) and the signing of the treaty at Nanking (Nanjing) in 1842. For his part in these events Gough was created a baronet, and received the thanks of Parliament and of the East India Company. He returned to Madras, having been made presidency commander-in-chief on 16 June 1841, and on 11 August 1843 was appointed commander-in-chief in India" (ODNB). He led operations against the Sikhs in both the First and Second Anglo-Sikh Wars, obtaining victories at Mudki, Ferozeshahr, Sobraon, Ramnagar, and Chilianwala, but the terrible losses at this last were such that questions were asked about the competence of his command. Sir Charles Napier was sent out to replace him, "but before the change could take place Gough had re-established his reputation by his crushing defeat of the Sikh armies at Gujrat on 21 February 1849, followed by their unconditional surrender to the pursuing force under General Gilbert. He vacated the command on 7 May 1849." Gough is said to have commanded in more general actions than any other British officer of the nineteenth century except the Duke of Wellington, who described him as "affording the brightest example of the highest qualities of the British soldier."

LAHORE - VICTOR JACQUEMONT AT THE COURT OF RANJIT SINGH - Letters from India, Describing a Journey in the British Dominions of India, Tibet, Lahore and Cashmeer, during the years 1828, 1829, 1830, 1831, undertaken by order of the French Government by Victor Jacquemont, 1835, second edition 2 vols, 363pp 374pp, original cloth. Small Engraved frontispieces and vignette half-titles to each. First published in French in 1833, the year after Jacquemont`s death, the English first edition was 1834. Jacquemont was one of the founders of the Société d`Histoire Naturelle, worked at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, and studied geology under Arago at the École des Mines. In 1827 he was invited by Pierre Louis Cordier of the Musée d`Histoire Naturelle to undertake a fully-salaried scientific expedition to India. Landing in Pondicherry in 1828, he proceeded to Calcutta, thence to Benares, Agra, and Delhi "and in the company of Lord William Bentinck arrived in 1830 at Simla." (Howgego) While there he joined the Gerard brothers in explorations of the passes leading to Tibet, claiming to have crossed into the country twice, and was encouraged by them to obtain permission to visit Kashmir. At Lahore, he successfully obtained audiences with Ranjit Singh who granted the necessary authority, and Jacquemont headed into Kashmir. Arriving at the Court of Ranjit Singh in 1831 he made detailed notes and descriptions of all his family members and courtiers, "Unlike most of his contemporaries he made no attempt to disguise himself." Deserted by his porters, subjected to incessant heat, he was captured by a bandit adherent of Ranjit, Nihal Singh "who was desperately in need of a prestigious hostage." But so persuasive was Jacquemont that Nihal was soon a trusted servant who accompanied him to Srinagar; "He spent four months there, making forays into the surrounding country and amassing a considerable collection of plants, stuffed birds and fishes, and geological specimens." Returning to Delhi, he was stricken with ill-health and died in 1832 at Bombay of an abscess on the liver. His letters proved to be immensely successful, perhaps because of their providing what the DIB describes as "a most vivid account of the social condition of India in those days". Scarce memoir.

In 1848 General Van Agnews was ordered by the British Resident to go to the city of Multan and take control of the Governorship from Diwan Moolraj who had been appointed by the Sikh Durbar. Moolraj refused to hand over the city and its fort and killed Agnews and his officers, hence starting the rebellion leading to the Second Sikh War. Diwan Mulraj was part of the last Sikh stand against the British and was supported by Sikh Saint Bhai Maharaj Singh, Sikh Sardars from West Punjab, and Punjabi Muslims. After British captured Multan, Diwan Mulraj was imprisoned and died in a jail near Calcutta, India.

A rare Coadestone armorial for the Founders Company stamped Coade and Sealy, Lambeth, 1800 124cm.; 49ins high by 94cm.; 37ins wide by 33cm.; 13ins deep Provenance: Most probably removed from the façade of the Founders Hall, London. The Worshipful Company of Founders is one of the oldest Livery Companies of the City of London, and can trace its existence back to 1365. It was formed to protect the interests of its members and to promote high standards of quality and workmanship in articles of bronze and brass. The first hall was built in 1531, when 18 members of the Company joined together to buy two houses and a garden in Lothbury and proceeded to build a Hall on a site which still bears the name of |Founders’ Court|. The Company was hard hit when the Hall, like so many others, was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt at a heavy cost mainly borne by the Liverymen from their own pockets. Built in brick with a stone front it is almost certain that this armorial was a later addition to the Hall and would have been positioned at parapet height on the façade, in the same position as a royal coat of arms, supplied in many cases by Eleanor Coade, for businesses which had received a Royal Warrant to supply some commodity or service. It would have been removed when the hall was demolished in the 1840’s to make way for a new Hall started in 1845. This piece would have been an individual commission and incorporates the Founders Company coat of arms which show a laver or washing ewer flanked by candlesticks reflecting the Founders who in the early days of the guild worked in brass and brass alloys or tinplate known as |Iatten| or |laton|, producing small cast articles. The top of the armorial incorporates a flaming furnace including a crucible from which the molten brass would have been poured into moulds. The lower portion with the bronze mortars and dolphin handles together with chain shot cannonballs normally used in naval engagements for destroying rigging on enemy ships, were very topical given the date of 1800 on this piece, since Britain was engaged in a maritime duel with Napoleon’s France for supremacy at sea which culminated in the battle of Trafalgar 5 years later in October 1805. The skill of the Coade modellers in faithfully reproducing in clay, the wooden carriage even down to the square iron strengthening plates and screws flanking the Coade stamp is testament to the quality to which Eleanor Coade aspired. This unusual Coade commission represents an opportunity to acquire a unique example from the best of the 18th century manufacturers and a piece of social history from one of the oldest and most august of the historical Livery Companies of London.

Set of two lithographic prints comprising:lithographic print of drawing by Michelangelo entitled The Virgin and Child with the Infant St. John, originally drawn c.1532Black chalk, one of a group of studies showing the Virgin and Christ Child and the young John the Baptist, drawn around 1532.Print size inches: 6.6 x 9.8 together with lithographic print of drawing by Michelangelo entitled The Fall of Phaeton, originally drawn 1533First recorded in The Royal Collection c.1810.Black chalk. One of the four superb, exceedingly highly finished, drawings made by Michelangelo for his friend, the young Roman nobleman Tommaso de? Cavalieri, whom he met in the autumn or winter of 1532. Finished in August 1533, the drawing depicts the three phases of the story as told by Ovid of the God Jupiter hurling his thunderbolt against the uncontrolled Phaeton who falls towards the river Eridamus (represented here by the recumbent river-god), mourned by his sisters and brother Cycnus who was transformed into a swan.Print size inches: 5.7 x 9.8

Set of two lithographic prints comprising:lithographic print of drawing by Raphael entitled A Naked Figure fleeing with an Axe, originally drawn c.1512Recorded in The Royal Collection by 1810. Black chalk. Recorded in the collection of George III. Both numbers 65 (Naked Figure Fleeing with an Axe) and 66 (Two Figures crouching under a Shield), are studies for an unexecuted altarpiece of the Resurrection, possibly intended for the Chigi Chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome. In this composition we see one of the guards who watched over the tomb of Jesus blinded by the light at His resurrection.Print size inches: 7.9 x 9.8 together with lithographic print of drawing by Raphael entitled Two Naked Figures Crouching under a Shield, originally drawn c.1512-14Recorded in The Royal Collection of George III, King of the United Kingdom, 1738-1820.Black chalk. See also No. 65, A Naked Figure Fleeing with an Axe. In this composition we find two figures shielding themselves from the light emanated by the Resurrection. Both drawings remained unfinished due to the artist`s early death. Print size inches: 8.2 x 9.8

Set of two lithographic prints comprising:lithographic print of painting by Canaletto entitled The Bacino di S. Marco on Ascension Day, originally painted c.1734Acquired by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820), with the collection of Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice.This oil on canvas, paired with `Regatta on the Grand Canal` (see No 26), is part of a series of 14 views on the Grand Canal. The scene depicts a traditional Venetian ceremony showing the Doge and his suite on the ceremonial vessel, the Bucintoro, after its return to the Molo from the ceremonial Wedding of the Sea on Ascension Day. Formerly in the collection of Consul John Smith, the series was engraved by Antonio Visconti and published in 1735.Print size inches: 8.9 x 5.3 together with lithographic print of painting by Canaletto entitled A Regatta on the Grand Canal, originally painted c.1733-34Bought by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820), with the collection of Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice at this time.The companion piece to The Bacino di Marco (see No 25), this scene celebrates the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin held on 2nd February. The painting shows the race of light-oared gondolas during this annual regatta with the arms of Carlo Ruzzini, who was Doge from June 1732 - January 1735, on the extreme left. Engraved by Antonio Visconti with its companion piece as the last two plates in his Prospectus Magni Canalis Venetiarum (Venice) published in 1735, gives credence to the date of completion as 1733-1734.Print size inches : 8.9 x 5.4

Set of two lithographic prints comprising:lithographic print of painting by Canaletto entitled The Thames from Somerset House, originally painted c.1746-50The Thames from Somerset House, c.1746-50. Bought by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820), with the collection of the British Consul in Venice, Joseph Smith.A detail taken from one of a pair of London views painted c.1746-50 while Canaletto was in London. Both views are taken from the terrace of Somerset House; in this detail we look down the river towards the City to St. Paul`s Cathedral, completed in 1709, and Wren`s forest of new spires. In the pendant to this painting we look in the opposite direction towards Whitehall and Westminster Abbey. The pair were the last paintings and only English views acquired by his friend and patron Consul Joseph Smith.Print size inches: 7.8 x 9.4 together with lithographic print of painting by Francesco Zuccarelli entitled Landscape with Europa and the Bull, originally painted c.1740Bought by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820), with the collection of Consul Joseph Smith.Oil on copper. Probably commissioned by Joseph Smith, this small piece is one of the finest examples of Zuccarelli`s work in the Smith collection. The feminine content gives rise to the idea that the painting may have been intended for the apartments occupied by Smith`s wife in the Palazzo Balbi on the Grand Canal Venice. The Rape of Europa, as told in Ovid`s Metamorphoses, Book 11, tells of Jupiter falling in love with Europa and abducting her in the form of a Bull. The drama of Ovid`s tale is ignored by Zuccarelli who concentrates on a gentle pastoral scene of a bull being decorated with garlands of flowers. Europa can be seen only in the distance carried away by the bull led by Cupid.Print size inches: 6.7 x 9.3

Set of two lithographic prints comprising:lithographic print of painting by Raphael entitled St. Paul Preaching at Athens (Detail), originally painted c.1516A section of his large Cartoons which were thought lost and later rediscovered at Genoa in 1623, Charles I instructed Sir Francis Crane, manager of the tapestry factory at Mortlake, London to purchase the Cartoons for £300.The original Cartoons are painted on paper in sized colours; the under-drawing is in charcoal and much of it is still visible. Seven of the Cartoons survive from the series of ten commissioned by Pope Leo X to serve as designs for tapestries which were to be woven in Flanders and hung in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries illustrate the lives of St. Peter and St. Paul.Print size inches: 6.8 x 9.5 together with lithographic print of drawing by Annibale Carracci entitled Study for St. Andrew, originally drawn c.1603-4The great collection of drawings by the Carracci in The Royal Library came from two sources; the Albani collection, purchased in Rome for George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820) in 1762, and Consul Joseph Smith?s collection, bought for the King in 1763.Black chalk, heightened with white. A study from the life for the figure of St. Andrew in the picture of the Crucifixion at Munich. The painting is attributed to Carracci`s pupil Domenichino, who would have used the detailed studies of his master`s drawings.Print size inches: 9.3 x 8.7

Olsen compares the likeness of this study to the Virgin in the Vatican Annunciation executed between 1582-1584 for the chapel of Francesco Maria II, Duke of Urbino, in the basilica at Loreto, which is more likely.
