Lot 50
Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS (b.1946). 9 of Clubs, 'Keep Counting'. Black pen on paper. Signed under mount: 'Nine of clubs by Joanna Lumley'. 20.8 x 14.6cm. Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS was born in Kashmir and brought up in Hong Kong and Malasia until she moved to the UK. After school, she was a model in the Swinging Sixties but only achieved her aim to become an actress when she was 21. Untrained, she somehow managed to slither into the profession and has appeared in countless films, television shows and plays, including Pink Panther and Coronation Street, James Bond and Chekhov, New Avengers and Oscar Wilde and Absolutely Fabulous. She has made fifteen travel documentaries, the most recent being made in India. She is married and has one son and two granddaughters and lives in London. Joanna Lumley: It is always exciting to be asked to do something you have never done before for a charity that you feel deserves all the help it can get. When TLC ( fabulous name, by the way: exactly what it says on the tin, tender loving care supporting Transplant Links Community) asked me to design a playing card I felt as though I had won a prize. The chance to sit and think and plan and draw, and all for something as fine as TLC, was all I needed to put the 'Gone Fishing' sign on the door.Before I started my artwork I chose the nine of clubs, for no other reason than nine is a lucky number for cats and the symbol for clubs looks a bit like an oak leaf. Then I examined a traditional nine of clubs playing card and guess what: it is perfect, and cannot be improved.Oh.So then I thought of chaps sitting by candlelight in a cave who must recognise the suit at once ( hence big symbols) and who could read the number nine even if they were Roman centurians. Then I got a bit arty and tried to make it look like a fabric pattern. Then I stopped and left it looking a bit scruffy and unpolished, confident that it won’t be reproduced, and will never muck up a game of poker when the stakes are high.Everything about TLC is music to my ears. What they achieve through their training and skills and application and sheer doggedness is exactly what life is about: never stopping trying to make the world a better place for someone else. I bow my head to everyone on the team. Kidney transplants are a win-win solution to so much suffering and sorrow, and I send TLC all the loving support and admiration in the world.Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price. Ewbank's are waiving all vendor commission for the charity. Transplant Links Community is a UK registered non-religious and non-political charity that saves the lives of children and adults in the developing world who suffer from life-threatening end stage kidney disease. Offering teaching and advice, and carrying out living kidney transplants, sharing their knowledge with local medical teams in a variety of countries - so that sustainable transplant programmes become a possibility for the future.

•STANLEY ANDERSON, CBE, RA (1884-1966) SELF PORTRAIT Engraving, 1933, signed in pencil, with an additional dedication in another hand, unframed 20 x 16.5cm. Provenance: Leslie Hunt (or Hurst), 1934 * This print was made at the peak of Anderson's career. Here he belies his allegedly shy reticence and he looks confident, combining an artisan's smock with a dapper silk bow tie. References to Titian, Rembrandt and Durer have been seen in this pose: even the lettered ledge is an acknowledgement of 16th century illusionism. ++ Very good condition
