Albert Wainwright (British, 1898-1943) The Six Nuns, Saltwick Bay watercolour, 27 x 22cm artist's monogram upper left, titled verso, unframed Albert Wainwright was born in 1898 in Castleford in the borough of Wakefield, youngest of three children who was expected by his father to follow in his footsteps and become an engineer. It was thanks to the help of his perceptive art teacher at Castleford Secondary school, Alice Gostick, who spotted and nurtured Wainwright’s artistic talents, that Albert’s father allowed him to leave the engineering apprenticeship that he hated and attend Leeds School of Art in 1914. It is interesting to note that Henry Moore was also a former pupil of Miss Gostick and him and Albert were school friends. Whilst at Leeds School of Art, Wainwright drew on a wide range of influences including the work of Aubrey Beardsley and Léon Bakst together with the brave new wave of European art created by the Viennese Secessionist art group. The work of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt captivated and inspired the young Wainwright who was drawn to their exaggerated forms, fluid use of line and dynamic use of colour and pattern within the works.

Miguel Cabrera (Antequera de Oaxaca, Mexico, 1715 / 1720 - Mexico, 1768)"Our Lady of Sorrows"Oil on canvas.69,5 x 62,5 cm.Miguel Cabrera was one of the most renowned painters in the field of eighteenth-century New Spanish painting, with an oeuvre that the Dallas Museum of Art defines as "legendary: more than 309 works from his great studio have been documented." Little is known of his youth; In fact, according to the Andrés Blaisten Museum, it is only because of the painter's will in 1768 that we know that he was a native of Oaxaca. The first news of him is from 1739, the year of his marriage to Ana María Solano, and we also know of his stint at Juan Correa's workshop in the capital of the Viceroyalty.Archbishop Rubio Salinas was Cabrera's patron, whom he named his chamber painter. He was also a painter for the Society of Jesus, for whose churches he produced numerous works.In 1753 he was appointed president for life of the Academy of San Carlos.In 1756 Cabrera published "American wonder and set of rare wonders observed and directed by the rules of the art of painting", a narrative about the image of the Virgin Guadalupe from the printing press of the Jesuit school of San Ildefonso.His work is kept in many churches and convents in Mexico. Two of his images of the Virgin of Guadalupe are in the Vatican Museum. Another, painted in 1756, for the temple of San Francisco Javier, is kept in the National Museum of the Viceroyalty.The Dallas Museum of Art has a Saint Gertrude the Great by Miguel Cabrera and another painting of the saint, also by Cabrera and dated 1768, is part of the collection of the José Luis Bello y Zetina Museum in Puebla, Mexico.Likewise, there is an outstanding series of Casta paintings from 1763 that is kept in the collection at the Museo de América in Madrid. They represent the families, father, mother and son of the various castes and social strata, in situations of daily life. Reference bibliography:- Dallas Museum of Art. (n.d.). "Saint Gertrude".

The cuirass covered in sgraffitied silver and the skirt with delicate brush-painted flowers.The flesh tones on the faces are also beautiful.The sense of movement that the sculptor imparts to the figures, with the skirt billowing in the wind, forming multiple folds is also remarkable.
Gian Battista Gatti (Faneza 1819 - 1889).Ebonized wooden cabinet with hard stone and bone marquetry.244 x 173 x 52 cm.As we read in the catalogue produced for the commemorative exhibition of the two-hundredth anniversary of Gatti's birth, held at the Pinacoteca de Faenza with text by Sauro Casadell: "Giacomo Battista Gatti, known as G.B. Gatti, was a prominent Italian craftsman born in Faenza in 1816. His biography, written in 1890 by Canon Filippo Lanzoni with the collaboration of Canon Antonio Gatti, G.B. Gatti's brother, is essential to understanding his life and work.From a young age, G.B. Gatti showed an interest in applied arts and began working in the workshop of the San Domenico convent, where he learnt from a skilled craftsman friar named Girolamo Bianchedi. He also had the opportunity to visit other carpentry workshops in his hometown, which gave him deep knowledge of furniture making.He later moved to Florence, where he continued his training in the workshop of Luigi Falcini, a master specialising in the production of Renaissance-style wood inlays. G.B. Gatti perfected his technique in this artistic environment and remained faithful to it for almost fifty years. His skill in creating furniture decorated with Renaissance motifs and his mastery of the inlaying of precious materials earned him a great reputation as a craftsman."Reference bibliography:- "Giovanni Battista Gatti, Ebanista e Intarsiatore di fama europea".

Attributed to Luis González. 17th - 18th centuries."The Immaculate Conception in the Light of the Holy Spirit, surrounded by Saint Francis Xavier and Saint John the Baptist, surrounded by a choir of angels."Magnificent relief in sculpted, polychromed, and gilded Huamanga stone. Saint John of Huamanga (Ayacucho), Viceroyalty of Peru.24 x 18 cm. This magnificent relief bears similarities to works created in Huamanga stone by Luis González, as evidenced by the facial features of the characters and the polychrome. It's worth pointing out that the relief has retained all of its original polychrome. The sculptural treatment is the work of a great master, as demonstrated by the multitude of small and intricate folds that form Mary's mantle and the various physiognomies and expressions of the characters. Huamanga stone is a type of white alabaster with delicate transparencies, and sculptures made from it are named after their place of origin, Huamanga, which is in the Ayacucho region currently. This region gave rise to interesting production of sculptures and reliefs, typically dedicated to the Virgin, Christ, and the Saints.A true sculptural school emerged between the 16th and 17th centuries, influenced by artists from Navarre and Aragon, who were involved in the creation of altarpieces and church altars.A composition very similar to this one, with the Immaculate Conception on an identical crescent moon, surrounded by the symbolism of the litanies, and with the same floral garlands, is kept in the Colonial Art Museum of Bogota. Similar examples can also be found in the Pedro de Osma Museum in Lima. With exquisite craftsmanship, beautiful polychroming, and masterful carving, we contemplate the Virgin as "electa ut sol, clara ut luna," the contemplative and devotional vision of the two Saints. Saint Francis Xavier, who continuously repeated this prayer asking for chastity: "Oh Lady, I commend myself to you and to all the saints now and at the hour of my death, that you may guard me from the devil, from the world, and from the flesh, which are my enemies..." (Document 15, No. 27. Goa, May 1542). He carries the lily of virginity, an iconographic symbol by which he was recognised before his canonisation in 1622. Since then, he has been depicted with the apostle's cross, and the lily became the attribute of another younger Jesuit, Saint Aloysius Gonzaga.Interestingly, Saint John the Baptist appears with a lion emerging from the moon under Mary's feet, a symbol often used to represent Saint Mark. But it makes sense, as he is the first evangelist who speaks of the Precursor and places him at the beginning of his Gospel, "when John the Baptist speaks of a roar in the desert that some relate to the roar of a mighty lion." The artist, it seems, had biblical knowledge in addition to powerful skills in carving and painting.Reference bibliography.: MAJLUF, Natalia y WUFFARDEN, Luis Eduardo: “La piedra de Huamanga: lo sagrado y lo profano” Lima: 1998.

A CAIRENE RUG OTTOMAN EGYPT, 16TH/17TH CENTURY Approximately 277 x 213cm The Ottomans conquered Mamluk Egypt in 1517 and their influence on art can be seen in the design of this rug, with its curvilinear arrangement of palmettes and vines. In contrast the earlier rugs from Mamluk Cairo were characterised by a more angular geometry, but rendered in similar colours to the present lot. For related examples at auction, see: Christie's New York, 13th December 2000, lot 14 Sotheby's, London, 7th November 2017, lot 56 Condition Report: Pile - very heavy wear throughout. Extensively rewoven, with restored areas faded. Ends - rewoven Sides - selvages and outer guard stripes rewoven Condition Report Disclaimer
A CAUCASIAN DRAGON FRAGMENTARY CARPET 17TH CENTURY Approximately 362 x 267cm This large and early fragmentary rug represents the village carpet-weaving tradition of the Caucasus that was contemporaneous with court production in Ottoman Turkey and Safavid Iran. While rugs produced in royal workshops had flowing, floral patterns, those from provincial weaving areas such as the southern Caucasus retained a strongly geometric character. The motif of highly stylised dragons, which are depicted here, gave the name "Dragon Carpet" to this type of rug which was produced in Trans-Caucasia. The design of 'Dragon' carpets consists of a field pattern composed of pointed, serrated leaves forming intersecting lozenges, which alternately contain palmettes and dragons or stylized animal figures. The most archaic of the 'Dragon' carpets include dragon motifs with birds and running animals relatively naturalistically drawn and either alone or in confronting pairs facing a tree. The Graf carpet, originally found in a Damascene mosque, now in the Islamiches Museum, Berlin, is thought to be the oldest example of this type, see Serare Yetkin, Early Caucasian Carpets in Turkey, Vol. II, London, 1978, p. 8, fig. 118. Animals in combat, and dragons less frequently, were popular motifs in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Persian courtly carpets and it is probable that Caucasian 'Dragon' carpets were modelled on these refined prototypes.
