Lot 435
French School (19th Century), A Drummer Announcing Public News to Villagers, pencil, 19 x 31cm (7 x 12in); together with, English School (19th Century), A View of Belvoir Castle, 1840, pencil, 18 x 25cm (8 x 10in); and, François Boher (French, 1769-1825) A Battle Scene with Cavalry and Guns, inscribed "Boher invenit", pencil and wash on buff paper, 21 x 24cm (8.19 x 9.36in) (3) The scene is most likely French, as shown by the Phrygian cap worn by the drummer, the Breton-like costume of the women, complete with clogs and the architecture of the cottage in the distance. The style of drawing has echoes of Gericault and Delacroix, although not competent. There are several pentiments - the left arm of the man on the right gesturing to the right, the dog seated in the left corner and the hand of the man holding a drumstick, The Battle Scene, which is drawn rather in the French eighteenth-century style of battle painting founded at the beginning of the century by Joseph Parrocel, is evidently by the little-known French painter and architect François Boher). He died in Perpignan, where he seems to have been mostly active. There are some eleven drawings by Boher in the Cabinet des Dessins of the Louvre, mostly in black chalk, which are in a Neo-Classical style quite unlike the rococo flavour of this drawing, but a number are signed identically to the present drawing. We are grateful to Nicholas Turner for his help with the catalogue entry
Lot 826
A William and Mary figured walnut cabinet on stand, circa 1690, the cabinet with blind frieze cushion drawer, with a fitted interior of eleven drawers and central cupboard enclosed by two panel doors above two further drawers to the stand with six s-scroll brackets an undertier and on bun feet. 186 x 111 x 58cm (72 x 43 x 22in). Provenance: This cabinet was sold at auction on Tuesday, June 18th 1889 by Mr Robert Buckell, 2 Broad Street, Oxford. The catalogue entry reads; `Lot 122. Handsome antique pollard oak cabinet, with folding doors, finely inlaid, interior containing eleven drawers, cupboard, secret drawers, two long drawers under, formerly belonged to John Milton`. Two letters survive dated 1896 from the vendor of the cabinet, a J Wentworth Day of the Abingdon Agency of the Lancashire Insurance Company, stating that this cabinet was bought by him some twenty years before, from a gentleman who assured him that it was from a descendant of the Milton family and a letter from the Auctioneer Mr Robert Buckell, We note the discrepancy between the descriptions of timber, which is not unusual in old catalogue listings and the date of this piece, which would place it after Milton had died in 1674, however the letter from the vendor suggests that it was purchased from a descendant of Milton, which could imply, given the location of the auction, that it might possibly have come from the Milton`s former country home in Horton, Buckinghamshire. Letters and catalogue listing are included in this sale
