* JOHN DUNCAN FERGUSSON RBA (SCOTTISH 1874 - 1961), LA FEMME AU CHAPEAU NOIR oil on board, inscribed and dated 'J.D. Fergusson 1910' verso 40.5cm x 30cm Framed Provenance: Private Collection, Paris Private American Collection (early 1950s - 2014) Private Scottish Collection (2014 - Present) Note: Born in Leith, John Duncan Fergusson's studies took him to Paris in the 1890s, where he studied the Impressionists and attended the Académie Colarossi. The artist was exhibited in London in 1905 and moved again to Paris in 1907, this time to settle. It was there in the French capital that the artist adopted a Fauvist and, then later, a more Cubist manner. Lot 1461, the female portrait offered by McTear’s, bears all of the hallmarks of this later, Fauvist style and is reminiscent of the work produced by the artist’s French contemporaries, in particular the work of Charles Camoin.  Fergusson had four works exhibited in the ‘Post-Impressionist and Futurist Exhibition’ at the Doré Gallery, London in 1913. His first solo show in Scotland was in 1923 and was swiftly followed by a group exhibition together with the three other Scottish Colourists: Samuel John Peploe, Francis Boileau Cadell and George Leslie Hunter.

Ex Nomos 6 (8 May 2012), lot 41 (hammer CHF 140,000); Numismatica Genevensis SA VI (30 November 2010), lot 41; Triton XIII (5 January 2010), lot 168 (hammer $95,000).Pantikapaion was founded by Greek colonists from Miletos in the late seventh century BC. Situated on the west side of the Cimmerian Bosporos, in what is now called the Crimea, it achieved great prosperity through its exploitation of the abundant fisheries of the straits and the export of wheat from the Crimea. This wealth is attested by its splendid gold coinage which commenced in the mid-4th century BC and by the magnificently furnished rock tombs of its principal citizens in the same period. Later, it was to become a regional capital of the kingdom of Mithradates VI of Pontos (120-63 BC) and later still the seat of the kings of Bosporos (first century BC - fourth century AD). The coinage of Pantikapaion seems to have commenced with silver issues in the latter part of the fifth century BC, but it is for its beautiful gold staters that the mint is chiefly noted. They depict the head of the god Pan (a pun on the name of the city) and on the reverse the griffin that Herodotos describes as being the guardian of the remote sources of gold.

IONIA, Achaemenid Period. Tiribazos. Satrap of Lydia, 388-380 BC. Æ (11.5mm, 1.73 g, 12h). Klazomenai mint. Head right, wearing kyrbasia / Tripod; K?A to right. Unpublished. VF, dark brown patina. Apparently unique. Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 278 (25 April 2012), lot 102.While the satrapal portrait on this coin cannot be identified as an exact representation of Tiribazos, the extreme stylistic similarity between satrapal issues of Cilicia struck during the time of Tiribazos’ rule there (cf. Casabonne pl. 4, 4–6), a contemporary bronze issue from Sardis (cf. Klein 254), and the portrait here suggests that this coin was an issue struck under Tiribazos.Initially the satrap of Western Armenia, which was one of the main Persian satrapies, the Persian general, Tiribazos, was a highly regarded ally of Artaxerxes II, who granted him a number of additional satrapies during the course of his career. During the civil war with Cyrus the Younger, as related in The Anabasis of Xenophon, Tiribazos sided with Artaxerxes II, a move for which he was richly rewarded. When the vassal-king of Cilicia sided with Cyrus the Younger and was thereby dethroned because of it, the territory became an ordinary satrapy under the sphere of influence of the satrap of Western Armenia. Shortly thereafter, Tiribazos was appointed satrap of Western Asia (with its capital at Sardis), which was another of the main satrapies of the Persian Empire. It too counted a number of smaller regional districts under its sphere of influence. Among these smaller districts were the cities of Ionia, including Klazomenai. The influence of this satrapy and of Tiribazos in particular was such that he personally brokered negotiations between the the belligerent Greek states during the Corinthian War (395-387 BC). Although Tiribazos was briefly replaced by the satrap Struthas in punishment for his actions, Artaxerxes soon returned the ex-satrap to his post in 387/6 BC. This time, he was granted command of the Persian fleet against Evagoras of Salamis. Again, Tiribazos was punished for his actions, and again restored to favor. The subsequent reneging by Artaxerxes of favors on Tiribazos turned the satrap against his king. In the end, Artaxerxes caught wind of a plot by Tirbazos and had his once-esteemed courtier slain.

SPAIN, Bilbilis. Tiberius. AD 14-37. Lot of two (2) Æ Asses. L. Aelius Sejanus, consul along with the emperor. Struck AD 31. Both VF, second coin a bit rough. From the R.A.M. Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group XXXII (7 December 1994), lot 470.Lucius Aelius Sejanus came from an up-and-coming equestrian family. Early in his career, Sejanus served with Augustus` grandson Gaius in the east, and may have accompanied Drusus Caesar north to quell the mutinies that broke out upon Augustus` death. He was made praefectus praetorio (commander of the Praetorian Guard) along with his father Lucius Seius Strabo, but when Strabo was promoted to the post of praefectus Aegypti, Sejanus took sole command of the Guard. As head of a force of 12,000 loyal soldiers, he used his position to gain influence over Tiberius.In AD 23, upon the death of Drusus Caesar, Sejanus proposed marrying Drusus` widow Livilla, with whom he was allegedly having an affair. So indispensable had he become in maintaining order in the capital that Tiberius called him "the partner of my labors," a position that Sejanus carefully built upon following the emperor`s retirement to Capri in AD 26. Using the emperor`s absence to his advantage, Sejanus imprisoned Germanicus` widow, Agrippina Senior, her sons Nero and Drusus, and their supporters on charges of treason. In AD 31, Sejanus served as consul with Tiberius – the first step, he hoped, in acquiring tribunician power and becoming the imperial heir. Although Sejanus` position seemed unassailable, Tiberius became aware of Sejanus’ machinations and condemned his consular colleague in a letter to the Senate. Sejanus and his children were executed, reprisals followed against his adherents, and the Senate issued a damnatio memoriae.

CILICIA, Aegeae. Hadrian. AD 117-138. AR Tridrachm (23.5mm, 9.49 g, 12h). Dated CY 164 (AD 117/8). AYTOKP KAIC TPAIANOC A?PIANOC C?B, laureate bust of Hadrian right, slight drapery / AIG?AION ?TOYC ??P (date), diademed head of Alexander the Great right; below, goat kneeling left, head right. Prieur 715A (this coin); SNG Levante –; SNG Levante Supp. –; SNG France 2326. VF, toned, light porosity. Rare. From the Edoardo Levante Collection.Some question has arisen regarding the identification of the portrait on the reverse of this issue. Prieur identified it as Perseus, the hero who slew Medusa and rescued the princess Andromeda. SNG France (cataloged by Levante) opted instead for Alexander the Great. While some coins from this region do use the portrait of Perseus as a type, his identifying symbols – the gorgoneion, the winged helmet, and especially the harpa – are always included as identifying elements. The diademed head, on the other hand, is indicative of a Hellenistic ruler. It is possible that since Cilician Aegeae was the namesake of the old Macedonian capital (see reverse legend on lot 886 below), the inclusion of Alexander’s portrait made an attractive reference to the Hellenistic past. At the same time, given that these coins were struck on behalf of the philhellenic Hadrian, the connection between the emperor and the great Macedonian king would not have been missed.

I'm dead beat as its been real hot here all the time & I've been jazzing around some. Sorry for breaking into real Yank sweetie but its being in the canal zone & amongst Yanks ashore which is always bad for my accent...We bought some Panama hats in the filthy little town before motoring out to Naos Island to see the Yank big gun defences which are tunnelled in the rock no doubt to keep the Japs out of the canal some day!!...There are 20,000 British coloured people working on the canal & they gave me a good welcome; they are mostly from Jamaica & smell too revoltingly for words poor brutes!!
