§ Sir Jacob Epstein K.B.E. (British 1880-1959) First Portait of Kitty (with Curls), conceived 1944 Bronze with brown patina(37cm high (14.5in high) (excluding base))Provenance: The Estate of Dr Renate Davis; Private Collection, UK.Footnote: Literature: Silber, Evelyn, The Sculpture of Epstein, Phaidon, Oxford, 1986, p.195, cat. no. 356 (plaster cast illustrated). Once established in his career, Jacob Epstein was frequently commissioned to create portrait busts. Subsequently, they represent a significant proportion of his output. According to biographer June Rose he would first meticulously study his subject from all angles, “noting the shape of the skull, the relation of the features to each other and to the whole, and the dissimilarity between the two sides of the face.” He had a tremendous aptitude for conveying an accurate mental as well as physiological likeness. Since his more experimental beginnings, Epstein had been regarded as a member of the avant-garde and, as such, opposed to the strictures placed upon art practise by the traditional institutions. This cemented his popularity among more liberal patrons. One such client was Ellen Jansen, a poet and member of a bohemian American set, who commissioned the bust of herself in 1931. She married the theatrical producer Maurice Browne, a founder of the Chicago branch of the Little Theatre. This constituted a movement which, in reaction to the increasing popularity of cinema, aimed to produce a more intimate “reform-minded” theatrical experience. Epstein counters her sharp ‘Louise Brooks’ bob with a serene smile. This remains one of the few busts he created where his sitter displays anything other than a rather enigmatic, reflective expression. Epstein also depicted his family on several occasions. This bust of his daughter Kitty (with curls) was conceived in 1944 and was the first of three he created in her likeness. She was the daughter of his long-term mistress and latterly second wife Kathleen Garman who, famously, was shot in the shoulder with a pearl-handled pistol by his first wife Margaret. Kitty herself went on to become the artist Lucien Freud’s first wife, and was the muse behind several of his seminal early works such as ‘Girl with Kitten’ and ‘Girl with a White Dog’.

Italian school of the 18th century."Portrait of Michelangelo Tamburini".Oil on canvas. Re-framed.The frame of the 19th century is damaged.Measurements: 43 x 33 cm; 50 x 39,5 cm (frame).We see in this canvas a bust portrait of a gentleman with a severe look, fixed on the spectator, without more symbols of his rank than the dignity that his face gives off. His vividly illuminated face is modelled precisely through the magnificently worked contrast of light and shade, which allows us to relate him to Michelangelo Tamburini, General of the Society of Jesus. Technically, the technique is notable for the use of precise, defined brushstrokes. In addition to the use of light that falls on the flesh tones, highlighting the gaze, of great psychological depth. This was a fundamental aspect of portraiture of the period, the intention of which was to convey the personality and mood of the sitter, which was not expressed in earlier periods that focused exclusively on external appearance. Other portraits by Michelangelo Tamburini are housed in important international museums, such as the one in the Museo Nacional del Virreinato in Tepotzotlán, State of Mexico.Michelangelo Tamburini (1648-1730) was a general of the Society of Jesus. He was successively professor of philosophy and theology, rector of colleges, Venetian provincial, secretary general, vicar general and superior general from 31 January 1706 until his death.
