Circle of Francesco Renaldi (1755-1798) Portrait of a young gentleman playing his cello in an interior' circa 1780, oil on canvas, framed, 'Zoffany' label fixed to base of frame, 76 x 64cm Francesco Renaldi was an English-born painter of Italian heritage about whose life little is known. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1776, aged twenty-one. For two years after 1781 Renaldi traveled in Italy, initially with Thomas Jones, the Welsh landscape painter and pupil of Richard Wilson. Evidently on at least one occasion Jones exploited Renaldi's name to pass himself off as an Irish catholic in order to gain access to the prior of a monastery at Caserta near Naples-which would normally have been inaccessible to him on sectarian grounds-but Renaldi seems to have accepted this with good grace, even affability. Years later, in 1798, he exhibited at the Royal Academy a workmanlike but affectionate group portrait of the Jones family, which is now in the collection of the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff; it may contain the artist's discreet but cheerful self-portrait. Upon returning to London in 1783, Renaldi attempted without success to establish himself as a portrait painter at 2, Portugal Street, a modest house tucked behind Lincoln's Inn Fields, on the Thames side. On November 3, Jones was pleasantly surprised to bump into Renaldi in Fleet Street, and the two dined together not long afterwards. In 1785, perhaps frustrated by commercial sluggishness, even sensing the prospect of professional failure in a highly competitive metropolitan market for portraits, Renaldi applied to the East India Company for permission to travel to Bengal. He supplied the names and addresses of two guarantors-Mr. Job Hart Price of Aldershot House, and Robert Codd of the 59th Regiment of Foot. These sureties were obviously acceptable to the company, because the following February Renaldi was given formal approval to go. He sailed aboard the Hillsborough, and reached Calcutta in August 1786. For ten years Renaldi lived in Calcutta, Lucknow (working, it is believed, for Asaf ud-Daulah, the Nawab Wazir of Oudh), and in Dacca (now the capital city of Bangladesh). He was therefore one of only a relatively small number of European painters-among them William Hodges, Johan Zoffany, Tilly Kettle, and Ozias Humphry (all of whom are represented in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art)-who spent extended periods painting portraits of and for the nabobs (English, Scottish, and Anglo-Irish gentlemen of the East India Company whose tendency was to “go native”) and their more or less official Indian mistresses, or bibis. By 1796 Francesco Renaldi was back in England. To the following year's summer exhibition at the Royal Academy he sent paintings of two Industany ladies, and one Mogul lady-all three were presumably bibis, possibly including this one-and also listed his address as 69, Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, very close to what is now Oxford Circus. In 1798 he may have exhibited a portrait of his own family, about whom we know nothing. Thereafter he vanishes from view, but completely.

Galitzine, acting on behalf of the Infantry General Levicki refers to the clauses of a contract which establishes the conditions according to which Mr. Helbig will move to Warsaw to take in charge the General´s son education. He explains to his correspondent the various conditions and timing established by Levicki´s family, and concludes by stating `Please address to His Excellence the General Levicki any correspondence about this matter from now on, as I am leaving right now towards Russia and I will be out of Warsaw for quite a long time.´ Some overall age wear, a very small tear to the central fold edge and small crease to the last page.

HENSCHEL GEORGE: (1850-1934) German Composer, Conductor, Pianist & Baritone. A good series of twenty eight A.Ls.S., George Henschel, and others slightly abbreviated, some signed with his initials, fifty six pages, largely 8vo (a number on correspondence cards), various places (Aviemore, London, Villefranche etc.), 1914-25, all to Louis Fleury. Henschel writes an interesting series of letters, largely with musical content concerning a composition for his correspondent, in part, 'I have not forgotten my promise to write some variations for your instrument and shall commence as soon as I have finished an Organ Prelude on a Hymn of All Saints on which I am at present engaged. I shall endeavour to make it worthy of your beautiful art' (11th June 1919), 'At last I am quite in earnest working on those variations! I have abandoned the idea of the Scottish Folksong and made a simple theme of my own which I herewith send you as I want to know if you like it….is the Key of E agreeable? I have already 3 variations sketched…' (30th July 1920), 'You will see I have changed the key to F which is really better in every respect. I hope you will agree with me…I shall take the liberty of dedicating the little work to you' (9th August 1920), 'I have made a note of your suggestion regarding the rests for respiration. There will be seven variations in all, the whole thing lasting about 8 or 10 minutes. I am greatly looking forward to hearing you play my little work' (23rd August 1920), 'Lady Sheffield, our dear hostess, would love to come and hear the piece (she is a charming woman & very musical) and I hope it will suit you' (6th November 1920), '…with an interpreter like you, my little work is sure to be a success' (30th November 1920), 'It is very good of you to play my little variations at your various concerts & I am greatly obliged to you & hope you will have a great success….As to the publication of the variations - - not a word from Chesters! Do you think a Paris publisher would take the little work?' (23rd January 1921), 'I am truly delighted the variations - thanks to your exquisite playing - have met with such success and thank you very much' (4th May 1921), 'I do hope you will be in England in October. It would be awfully nice to have that little concert at Broadway and I should love to hear you play the Bach, and my flute variations' (4th August 1924), 'I have just read Mme. Navarro's letter again and am sorry I did not follow my first impulse….and told you that, although she accepts your terms she finds them rather high. "Higher" (she writes) than Suggias or any other of the artists that play and sing here for me…." I think therefore it would be a very gracious thing on your part - and good policy too for the future if in writing to her you would say that…..you will be very glad to accept fifteen guineas….After all, Mme de N has been a very famous artist herself and all the best musicians love to play & sing for her' (17th August 1924), 'I send you here a little sicilienne with which Casals (it is originally for cello) has had a huge success in New York' (27th August 1924). Several of the letters are written in French and seven of them incorporate musical quotations of various lengths, each being corrections and suggestions to Henschel's composition and submitted to Fleury for this thoughts and comments. Also including a further three Autograph Musical Quotations, unsigned, by Herschel, again each being corrections and suggestions sent to Fleury (and referred to in some of the letters). A number of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes hand addressed by Herschel. An interesting archive. Some light age wear, generally VG, 31 Louis Fleury (1878-1926) French Flautist.
