SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL FLINT, RA, PRWS, RSW (1880-1969) SPANISH WHEELWRIGHTS. drypoint, signed by the artist in ink and numbered XXIII of an edition of, probably, 75 published by Alex. Reid & Lefevre, London and W B Simpson, Glasgow in 1931, 24.5 x 32.5cm Flint`s superb drypoints, some of the finest prints produced in Britain in the first half of the 20th century, were all executed between 1928 and 1935 when eye strain forced him to give up the burin. Of the sixty-six subjects only about half were issued in small editions. Of Spanish Wheelwrights, he wrote `As this subject was so attractive I deliberately tried to make it as impressive as possible. It developed from a drawing of an interior of a noble house fallen from its high estate in a sun-bleached Castilian village. All the mechanical details are authentic but the dark central recess is an invention of my own.`. ++ A fine `velvety` impression which appears to be in very good condition although unexamined out of the frame on the (clean) wooden backboard, the label of the Regent Gallery, formerly Armstrong Gallery, Glasgow

Lot 975

SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL FLINT, RA, PRWS, RSW (1880-1969) RAQUEL. signed, red chalk, 36 x 54cM. Provenance: Frost & Reed Ltd, from which bought by Mrs D B Lucas in September 1968; thence by descent to the present vendor. Flint`s chalk drawings, often executed on one of the antique papers which he carefully selected, reveal him to be a virtuoso draughtsman. Many of the best, such as the present lot, were not studies (even sheets of several figures) but fully fledged works in their own right. He said that they were "done for their own sakes, done with enjoyment which lured me away from, or which saved me from - I do not know which is correct - weightier work" (Sir William Russell Flint, Drawings, 1950, p3). Such works have always been highly regarded and sheets such as Nine Studies sold by a private European Collector, Christie`s, 4 June 2008, lot 41, can match the prices paid for his watercolours. The theme of a reclining nude model, in this case probably Ray Fuller with a favourite studio prop such as large old portfolio, is one to which Flint returned in works such as New Model Inspecting Drawings of her Predecessor, Maggie and Josefina.. ++ In fine condition, undisturbed in the original mount and oak frame when supplied to the late vendor in 1968. Not previously offered for sale.

Lot 976

SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL FLINT, RA, PRWS, RSW (1880-1969) BELLE NAGEUSE. signed, inscribed by the artist with the original title Monique (Tempera) on a frament of the original frame preserved, tempera, 32 x 60.5cM. Painted in 1937. Provenance: Mrs D B Lucas; thence by descent to the present vendor. Exhibited: Royal Academy, Diploma Gallery, Exhibition of Works by Sir William Russell Flint, 1962, No 127 (lent by Mrs D B Lucas). In the entry in the RA Catalogue Sir William Russell Flint wrote about Belle Nageuse: "Any orthodox practitioner in tempera would be horrified if he knew the speed at which-of necessity- this elegant, accomplished and confident plunger was painted. I had a slight leaning or bent, or tendency, perhaps even an inclination towards a predilection- to imitate the manner of Thomas Love Peacock- for my nageuse, whom I had known from her childhood, and I parted with this picture of her with a pang. Now, normally, she helps to decorate the drawing -room of a very lovely mansion in Somerset, but here, in our Diploma Gallery, she will recline, just for a month or two, and keep an alert eye on every quizzical soul who comes along. A consummate watercolourist and draughtsman, Flint`s early training as a lithographer instilled the discipline that combined with vision and temperament affords him a unique position in the history of the medium. His lively watercolours of nubile dancers or models, all sublimely graceful and exuding confidence, sometimes reclining, sometimes striding or otherwise poised, have an almost magnetic attraction. Careful composition draws the eye around the subject which always harmonises with the vibrancy of bright, reflected colour of textiles, sand or sea. His work of the 1930s and `40s, occasionally with the merest hint of Art Deco, is at the same time of all periods, from Classical Antiquity to the present. The artist and writer Adrian Bury (1891-1991) thought Flint "...the greatest master technically of the elusive watercolour method of art". He also wrote in the Introduction to Ralph Lewis`s biography that "...at his best his work is perfect and without criticism". In expressing this opinion Bury surely had in mind works such as Belle Nageuse. It is one of those personally selected by Flint for the 1962 Exhibition in the Royal Academy`s Diploma Gallery. Painted in 1937 the original title of Belle Nageuse was Monique, the name it bears inscribed in Flint`s hand on the back of the frame. He chose the new title purposely for the 1962 Exhibition and the model is the same as that for Alethea, also painted in tempera which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1935, No 609. In both these and other pictures of the period, the model is reclining on, or wears what appears to be, the same bright red Chinese embroidered silk robe. Several other outstanding works on paper by the artist have appeared on the market in recent months, in particular Alethea (Sotheby`s, 29 April 2009, lot 100, £99,650) Danza Montana and Variations IV (sold in these `rooms, 1 May 2009, lots 782 and 783, £78,000 and £84,000 respectively) and Belle Poseuse, (Sotheby`s, 29 August 2007, lot 179, £96,000). . ++ In very fine condition in 18th c style giltwood and composition frame as supplied to the late owner by Frost & Reed Ltd.

Earlier in his career he produced work of a symbolist nature influenced by artists such as Felicien Rops. . ++ In fine condition. The support not lined and on the original stretchers with on the reverse the artist`s name, title No3 what is presumably a price £1000 and a catalogue number (736). The labels of P J Gallais & Cie Paris and a depository label in contemporary early 19th c blue and gilt carved wood and composition frame with small losses

Lot 1042

A WILLIAM IV TRUNCHEON BY HIATT & CO OF BIRMINGHAM AND PAINTED BY JOHN THORP. of beech, finely decorated in polychrome with royal arms and cipher, Birmingham arms and motto PRO REGE ET LEGE, the reverse with number 2 and date 1832, signed J Thorp Herald Painter, 36cm, 1832 This and the following lot are particularly fine examples of the art of the truncheon. Both are painted by the pre-eminent herald painter of truncheons of the period, John Thorp of Birmingham. An interesting account of Thorp is to be found in Eliezer Edwards`s book, Old Taverns O`Birmingham (1879): "The Chairman [of the Birmingham Musical Society which met at the Sea Horse Inn] for many years was Mr John Thorp, a herald painter of Belmont Row a man of singularly graceful manners, and a great humourist. The "toasts" and "sentiments" given from the chair on these occasions were always original, and often so laughable, as to set the whole company in a roar. His portrait was one of the three that hung in the parlour. Another was that of Mr Atkins who instituted the Baron of Beef dinner, and the third was that of Francis Marrian, the landlord, who was represented with the song "Old England`s A Lion in his hand". Hiatt & Co of Birmingham manufactured the majority of beech truncheons from the late 1820s onwards. They were distributed by William Parker, later Parker, Field & Sons of Holborn and subsequently other London addresses. For similar examples see Clark (E Fenn), Truncheons Their Romance and Reality, 1935, illustrated p119. . ++ In a state of unusually good preservation retaining almost all of the painted decoration although with small loss through chipping; the paint/varnish has not quite `taken` on the head and part of the body of the unicorn supporter although this may have been occasioned by the fact that the truncheon has slightly warped and is now of a pronounced curvature but is free from splits or restoration

Lot 1043
