A BRONZE AGE 1200-800 BC BRONZE SOCKETED AXE HEAD with a fixing loop from a former Netherlands collection, 12.5cm in length

MARK MATVEEVICH ANTOKOLSKY (RUSSIAN 1843-1902)Bust of Mephistopheles, bronze with medium brown and green patinaheight: 24.5 cm (9 5/8 in.)inscribed Antokolsky on back of base LOT NOTES:Following the glowing acclaim of Mark Antokolsky’s marble sculpture Mephistopheles, which entered the collection of the Hermitage Museum in 1886, a mere three years after its completion, the artist produced bronze versions of the figure’s bust to capitalize on the project’s success. At the onset, Antokolsky turned to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust for inspiration for the figure, which he referred to as the equally powerful counterpoint to his earlier sculpture of Christ. Lacking clothing or any identifiable characteristics tying him to a particular period or place, the artist nevertheless epitomized the demon of the modern age. In an 1883 letter to E. G. Mamontova, Antokolsky wrote: “Mephistopheles is a product of all the ages, and ours in particular. We can say that I dreamed up this being, that this is purely my fantasy, or you could ask where I saw such a being? Yes, no one sees him like this, but we sense his breathing, feel his monstrous paw pressing on our chest, sense our inability to cry out, in a word, we see the nightmare."PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 234.

▲Clare Sheridan: An Art Deco bronze fountain group of four fish signed Clare Sheridan and dated 1938, fish mouths plumbed for water, weathered variegated green patination 122cm.; 48ins high Clare Sheridan (born as Clare Consuelo Frewen; also known as Clare Consuelo Sheridan), was born in London in 1885, the daughter of Moreton Frewen of East Sussex and his American wife, the former Clarita |Clara| Jerome. Her mother was the elder sister of Lady Randolph Churchill. She married Wilfred Frederick Sheridan in 1910; they had three children. Wilfred Sheridan was a Lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade, who was killed while leading his men at the Battle of Loos in 1915. Her godmother and namesake was Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough. After the death of her second child, Elizabeth, in 1914, Sheridan sculpted a weeping angel as an outpouring for her grief. It was from this piece of art that she discovered an ability for sculpting, and after the death of her husband a year later, she moved from France to London to study under John Tweed and Professor Edouard Lanteri. While visiting America, Sheridan had a love affair with Charlie Chaplin and enjoyed friendships with Princess Margaret of Sweden, Lord and Lady Mountbatten, Lady Diana Cooper, Vita Sackville-West and Vivien Leigh. Her famous bust of her first cousin Sir Winston Churchill, can be found at Blenheim Palace, Chartwell, Harrow School and Hastings Town Hall. She enjoyed an amicable relationship with Churchill, though her support for the October Revolution caused them to break ranks politically in the 1920s during which time she was invited by a Soviet Russian trade delegation on a visit to London to travel to Moscow and make busts of notable revolutionaries including Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. The author Robert Service, in his 2009 book, claims that she had an affair with Trotsky who signed and dedicated a painting of himself to her. Sheridan's dalliance with known Soviet agents earned her the suspicions of the Security Service. She earned an MI5 file that noted: |She has conducted herself in a disloyal manner in various foreign countries, adopting a consistently anti-British attitude.| In 1925 Sheridan moved to Algiers, where it was noted by MI5 that |she appeared to be comfortably off and debt-free for the first time in 10 years|. After returning to live in Belmont House in Hastings, Sussex where she died in 1970 at the age of 84, having outlived two of her three children.
