CLARE SHERIDAN (BRITISH 1885-1970)Bust of Lenin, 1922bronze with brown patina29 x 21 cm (11 3/8 x 8 1/4 in.) signed lower right; signed, dated, stamped with copyright symbol and dedicated on verso: Contributed to / Friends of Soviet Russia / For Famine ReliefRELATED LITERATUREFor this model, see Russian portraits by Clare Sheridan (London: Jonathan Cape, 1921), as Lenin (bust) p. (114) 119 (illustrated) LOT NOTES Clare Sheridan Sheridan was a prominent sculptor, journalist and writer, best known for creating busts for notable sitters and as a cousin of Sir Winston Churchill. In 1910 she married Wilfred (William) Frederick Sheridan, with whom she had two daughters. When her daughter Elizabeth died in 1914, Sheridan was moved to commemorate her grave with a small weeping angel sculpture, and so, history has it, begun her sculpting career. Sheridan then moved from London to France to study under John Tweed (1869-1933) and Professor Edouard Lanteri (1848-1917). She was commercially successful, earning commissions like a portrait bust of H.H. Asquith for the Oxford Union.In the summer of 1920 Sheridan was invited by the first Soviet Russian trade delegation to travel to Russia to make busts of revolutionaries. Once in Russia, she stayed in the Kremlin for two months, sculpting Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky and Felix Dzerzhinsky and Lev Kamenev. (Her affairs with some sitters further amplified her notoriety).Back in London, Churchill and the London Society shunned her, leading to her move to America in 1921 (where she again made headlines for her relationship with Charlie Chaplin). On her second trip to Russia in 1923, she was declared 'persona non grata'. She returned to London in 1924 by a cross-continental journey, recording her travels in her 1925 memoirs, Across Europe with Santaella.Under suspicion by MI5 (whose file noted that she conducted herself in an anti-English and disloyal manner in various foreign countries), she moved to Algeria, where she lived for the next decade. She continued working and writing through the end of her life. CONDITION The sculpture appears in good original condition. Overall surface dust visible to the naked eye.

Porzellan, farbiger Aufglasurdekor, Vergoldung. Nicht originale, aber passende Untertasse. Gold gerahmtes Bildfeld mit einer seltenen Interieurszene: ein jüdischer Bittsteller vor einem Gutsherrn. Auf dem Kamin die Büste des Zaren Alexander I. Auf dem Boden schwarze Inventar(?)nummer "No:5868". Chips an den Tatzenfüßen.Das Porzellan Russland oder Böhmen/Tschechien, Schlaggenwald/Horní Slavkov, um 1820.Zu der Darstellung haben wir Thomas Gräfe, Zentrum für Antisemitisforschung, TU Berlin, befragt, der freundlicherweise folgende Auskunft gab:"Die Szenerie ähnelt zeitgenössischen Abbildungen von Verhandlungen zwischen Fürsten und sogenannten Hofjuden. Kleidung und Einrichtung deuten aber eher auf niederen Adel oder Bürgertum hin. Es dürfte sich um ein Verkaufsgespräch zwischen einem jüdischen Trödelhändler oder Viehhändler mit einem Gutsherrn handeln. Die Ähnlichkeit zu den Hofjuden-Szenen ist wohl gewollt, um sich selbst standesmäßig aufzuwerten. (…) Es ist zu vermuten, dass die Tasse eine Auftragsarbeit einer der auf der rechten Seite abgebildeten Personen ist." With an associated but matching saucer. Painted with an unusual scene of a Jewish man petitioning a landowner in an interior with a bust of Tzar Alexander I over the mantle. Chips to the feet.The porcelain Russian or Bohemian/Czech, Schlaggenwald/Horní Slavkov, c. 1820.We consulted with Thomas Gräfe from the Centre for Anti-Semitism Research of the TU Berlin for more information about the depiction:"The scenery resembles contemporary depictions of negotiations between princes and so-called court Jews. The clothing and furnishings, however, point more to the lower nobility or bourgeoisie. The scene can thus probably be interpreted as a trade negotiation between a Jewish second hand dealer or cattle trader and the lord of the manor. The similarity to the court Jew scenes was probably deliberate, chosen in order to enhance the sitter's own status. (...) It can be assumed that the cup was commissioned by one of the persons depicted on the right."
