ALEXANDER NASMYTH (SCOTTISH 1758 - 1840), ITALIAN LANDSCAPE AT DUSK oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 68cm x 96cm, overall size 92cm x 119cm Provenance: Private German Country House Collection. Christies, Glasgow stencil mark and label versoNote: By the 1800s Alexander Nasmyth's skill as a landscape painter was such that he was confident working on an ambitious scale, yet due to the numerous demands on his time relatively few pictures survive from this period. Between 1790 and 1810 he was remarkably industrious: in addition to supporting his large young family, he was setting up an art school where he taught classes and was also working on an ever-expanding portfolio of theatrical, engineering and landscape design projects. Nasmyth came from a line of architect-builders, and as a youth had been trained to take over the family business by his father but opted to pursue painting instead. It was not until later in life that he began to take on architectural and landscape-design commissions, embodying the Italian ideal of the architetto-pittore. James Nasmyth wrote: ‘My father was much employed in assisting the noblemen and landed gentry in improving the landscape appearance of their estates, especially when seen from their mansion windows. His fine taste, and his love of natural scenery gave him great advantages in this respect… he designed alterations of the old buildings so as to preserve their romantic features, and at the same time to fit them for all the requirements of modern domestic life.’ (ed. S. Smiles James Nasmyth, Engineer: An Autobiography,London, 1883, pp.36-37)

Ca. 200-300 AD.A schist figure of a standing Buddha, originally depicted in the abhaya mudra, conveys a gesture of fearlessness and protection. The flowing robe adorning the Buddha envelops his body, draping gracefully with an exquisite arrangement of cascading folds. The intricate attention to detail in the robe reflects the skill and artistry of the Gandharan sculptors, capturing the beauty of fabric and texture. Standing barefoot on a plinth, the Buddha is presented with elegance and poise. The plinth itself is adorned with a scene of two Buddha worshippers flanking a central altar with a flickering flame. Kneeling with hands folded in prayer-like gestures, the worshippers emanate a sense of devotion and reverence. The scene is framed by columns on both ends, enhancing its visual appeal and adding a touch of architectural sophistication. Buddha's head is rounded, with the hair pulled up and gathered into a topknot. A large halo serves as a backdrop to the head, further emphasizing the figure's divine aura and enlightened nature. The facial features of the Buddha exhibit a naturalistic approach. The half-closed almond-shaped eyes impart a serene and introspective expression, while the broad nose and slightly smiling lips add a sense of gentle tranquility. The elongated earlobes signify the Buddha's renunciation of worldly attachments and his attainment of spiritual enlightenment. The representations of Buddha in Gandhara art encapsulate the synthesis of various artistic influences, combining elements from Hellenistic, Persian, and Indian traditions. This amalgamation of cultures gave rise to a unique visual language that resonated with the spiritual beliefs of the Gandharan people. For a similar, please see The British Museum, Museum number 1880.73. This item comes mounted on a custom-made stand Size: L:570mm / W:180mm ; 11.36kg Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.

Ca. 1100-1200 AD.A stone fragment of a frieze with its slender profile and rich decorative embellishments on the upper face. This fragment exhibits a masterful display of artistic skill through the intricate interweaving of tendrils, animal heads, and floral motifs that adorn its surface. These meticulously crafted elements create a captivating visual composition, demonstrating the artistic sophistication and cultural heritage of the Seljuk period. Similar friezes can be found in various architectural contexts, such as palaces, mosques, and tombs, reflecting the diverse applications of this artistic form. These friezes served as decorative elements, enhancing the visual appeal of the structures they adorned. In addition to their aesthetic function, Seljuk friezes often carried symbolic significance, depicting scenes from mythology, nature, or religious narratives, contributing to the overall narrative and visual language of the architectural ensemble. Size: L:170mm / W:235mm ; 740g Provenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.

Ca. 19th century AD.A brass circular seal stamp. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this seal stamp showcases a flat-section shank leading to an openwork trefoil-shaped finial. The face of the stamp presents an exquisite depiction of a mosque, complete with a prominent dome and four minarets, evoking the architectural grandeur and religious significance associated with Islamic worship spaces. Within the front wall of the mosque, the elegant calligraphic text is delicately inscribed, adding a profound layer of meaning to the overall composition. Size: L:30mm / W:23mm ; 15g Provenance: Private London collection; formerly acquired in the US in the 1990s.
