William Bruce Ellis Ranken (British, 1881 - 1941), 'The Redcoat', a young Lance Corporal in the Royal Horse Guards, (believed to be Harry Frankland), signed with monogram, and dated 1915, oil on canvas, with hand written label verso, 108.5 x 85cm, in later gilt frame Notes: The painting was first shown at the 4th National Portrait Society Exhibition held at The Grosvenor Gallery, 51a New Bond Street, London in March and April 1915. It was subsequently reproduced on the front cover of the magazine 'Colour' in June 1915. The painting was further exhibited at The Royal Scottish Academy in the summer of 1916 (no. 164). The sitter appears to bear a strong resemblance to the figure in Ranken’s oil 'Trooper of Royal Horse Guards, in Walking-Out Dress' (National Army Museum collection) and a watercolour in the collection of Warrington Museum and Art Gallery, both of which were gifted by the Ranken family. In 1915, Ranken also exhibited a large oil of a portrait group entitled ‘Life Guards’, the central figure has the same head as Warrington Museum’s painting and a strong resemblance to 'The Redcoat’ sitter. According to Ranken's papers, the painting was lost in the early 1920’s following an unauthorised sale of some of his works. Furthermore, there appears to be no auction records for 'The Redcoat'. This could be the first time the painting has appeared in the public domain in over 100 years.

Ca. AD 1100-1200.A pottery jug with a bulbous body conveys a sense of harmony and visual appeal. The low ring foot provides stability and balance to the vessel, ensuring that it rests securely on a flat surface. The broad funnel-shaped neck adds a graceful and distinctive element to the overall composition of the jug. The arched handle, ingeniously designed with thumb support, offers both practical functionality and aesthetic refinement. While the neck remains plain and unadorned, the main body of the jug boasts a densely embellished relief decoration that captures attention and elevates its artistic value. Divided in half by a horizontal groove, the relief decoration is executed with remarkable precision and intricacy. This exquisite embellishment features geometric motifs, floral patterns, and interlacing designs, showcasing the mastery of the Seljuk artisans in creating harmonious compositions on ceramic surfaces. Notably, a decorative band adorned with calligraphy encircles the base of the jug, adding a distinctive touch to its overall design. The calligraphic script, skillfully executed and precisely inscribed, may bear religious verses, blessings, or decorative phrases, reflecting the cultural and religious significance of the Seljuk Empire. Size: 130mm x 120mm ; Weight: 260g Provenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
