Literature: Douglas Lewis, 'The Plaquettes of "Moderno" and His Followers', Studies in the History of Art , volume 22, 'Symposium Papers IX: Italian Plaquettes', Washington, 1989, pages 105-141. Galeazzo Mondella (1467-1528), prominent goldsmith and guild master of Verona, and perhaps the most accomplished artist of Italian Renaissance plaquettes. His work, which included both sacred and profane subjects (including the Labours of Hercules and the Life of Christ) was influenced by Mantegna and other artists in his native Veneto, as well as by fellow artists such as "Antico" (Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi, circa 1460-1528), whose "trade" name almost certainly influenced his own. 'P.V.R.' may represent the name of the foundry that created this later casting.

Nisini fuse-Roma' (to base)bronze32cm (12 5/8in) high.Footnotes:ProvenanceThe collection of John William Quinn, mayor of Johannesburg 1905-06;By direct descent to the current owner.ExhibitedSouth Africa, Rembrandt van Rijn Foundation touring exhibition, Pierneef Van Wouw; paintings and sculptures by two South African Masters, 1980-81, no. 42, illustrated p.17, (similar cast).LiteratureA.E. Duffey, Anton van Wouw: The Smaller Works, (Pretoria, 2008), illustrated pp. 33-35, (similar cast).The present lot depicts George E. Gordon Leith (1885–1965) whilst a student to van Wouw. Leith was born in Knysna and his family moved to Pretoria in 1889. From the ages of fourteen to sixteen he was drawing and modelling under van Wouw's guidance and through this he made the acquaintance of many artists including J.H. Pierneef, Fanie Eloff and Frans Oerder.Gordon Leith was later to become an eminent architect working in the classical tradition established by Sir Herbert Baker.'On his lap he has a rectangular drawing board on which a large eraser can be seen on the right at the top and the drawing paper is placed at an angle. In front the drawing board rests on a single thin leg, which is placed on the base of the small sculpture, between the boots of the boy. The boy wears an overcoat and bends forward, with full concentration, over his drawing board, which he draws against his stomach with his left arm. Even in this early small sculpture one becomes aware of van Wouw's obsession with fine detail such as the pocket knife behind the boy on the wooden box, the loose hanging straps of the overcoat, the cross-threaded shoelaces and the grain of the wooden box.'
