Jack Butler Yeats RHA (1871-1957)I Will Not Sit on the Grass, She SaidIndian ink and watercolour, 11.3 x 15cm (4½ x 6")SignedProvenance: With the Dawson Gallery, Dublin; Sale, Sotheby's London 10/06/81, Lot 158, where purchased by the present owner.Jack B. Yeats produced his greatest volume of watercolour work during a period (c. 1897-1910) when he was also very active as a cartoonist and illustrator. So, as much as the eye is drawn to the vivid application of finely judged colour, it is the boldness of line, the clarity in the rendering, and occasionally also the humour, that characterizes much of this collection. The skills of draughtsmanship which he undoubtedly possessed had been honed, without tuition, during the hours of obsessive sketching and doodling with which he had occupied himself from an early age. He excelled as a black-and-white artist, and producer of fine watercolours and drawings, during the period that preceded his entry into the world of oil painting with which he is more commonly associated (though he would continue to produce work in all these areas for many years). He was living in England, the country of his birth, throughout this time, and one can detect traces of some of the great English graphic artists, such as George Cruikshank and Phil May, though he evolved an idiosyncratic and recognizable style all his own from early on. A hint of the bizarre, suggestive of Francisco Goya or James Ensor, add a mysterious flavour to works such as the wonderful pencil and watercolour piece, Blue Jackets in Fancy Dress, also known as Men-o-Wars in Fancy Dress (Costume),(Lot 52) which depicts an unusual group of figures ascending a quayside ladder in Dartmouth.There were regular trips back to Ireland, and in dozens of compact sketchbooks he documented the characters and incidents of small-town life, many related to fairgrounds and to horse racing. Hilary Pyle tells us that these sketches, themselves often in ink and watercolour, would form the basis of larger works completed at home in his Devon hideaway, Cashlauna Shelmiddy. Losing nothing in the transition, the finished works retain the spontaneity and raw spark of the quickly rendered sketchbook drawings. Horses appear in a number of the pictures in this collection (The Race (Lot 47); The Baker Rode a Pie-Bald (Lot 51)), and they would be central to his art throughout his life. They could function metaphorically, particularly in the later work, but Yeats could also be more direct in his celebration of their sheer physicality, power, and speed. He was equally fascinated by the enigmatic riders, steely-eyed protagonists in many drawings and paintings, and by the bustle of the social worlds in which they moved. The beautifully observed pen and ink drawing of The Crown and Anchor Man (Lot 48) is typical of the unique characters- the street performers and race day vendors, circus and fairground entertainers- to whom Yeats was repeatedly drawn during this period.Yeats’s first solo exhibition of watercolour sketches, the majority of which were executed in Devon, was held at the Clifford Gallery in London in 1897. In 1899 he held another exhibition of his work, titled “Sketches of Life in the West of Ireland,” at the Walker Art Gallery, again in London, repeated later that year at Leinster Hall in Dublin. Throughout this period Yeats alternated between galleries in these two cities, averaging one solo show annually up to 1914. He subscribed to a press cuttings agency- Romeike and Curtice of the Strand- and pasted his notices and reviews into a scrapbook, which attests to the largely positive response that his watercolour work received at the time. A critic for the Daily Express, on visiting the first Dublin show, wrote that “(n)o one, it seems to us, has studied the humbler side of Irish life with such insight and intelligence, and certainly no Irish artist has ever given us so graceful and fresh a representation of its pathos and humour.” Commenting on another Dublin exhibition two years later, a reviewer for the United Irishman remarks, with some prescience, that “these pictures will some day be looked upon as important historical records.” Indeed there is an almost documentary approach to many of his subjects, unsurprising given the journalistic collaborations with J.M. Synge that saw them render, in prose and illustration, the rawness of life in Mayo and Connemara for the Manchester Guardian in 1905. Yeats would return again and again to the rural sites of sporting competition and public entertainment, often with an eye for the onlookers, as in the busy and endlessly appealing composition of A Good Winner (Lot 50). Many works from this period combine observation from real life with the mischievous caricatural twist that typified much of the material he was also producing for the humour periodicals and early comics. The suggestion of gently ribald comedy in I will not sit on the grass, she said (Lot 46) exemplifies the playful interplay between caption and image that Yeats imported into the art gallery from those popular contexts. The strong outlines and striking compositions evident in these pieces, for example Figure of a Young Woman in a Landscape (Lot 53) and Beggar at the Door (Lot 49), also recall the well-known drawings that appeared in printed form in the series A Broad Sheet (1902-03) and later A Broadside (1908-1915) published respectively in London by Elkin Mathews and in Dublin by Dun Emer/Cuala Press.Michael Connerty, April 2023Lit: Hilary Pyle.

ANCIENT SABAEAN ARABIAN MALE HEAD SOUTHERN ARABIA, C. 1ST CENTURY B.C. carved striped alabaster, the slender neck rising to a rounded chin, the face bearing a compact mouth, the upper lip topped with a small moustache, the ridge nose parting two almond shaped eyes below a sweeping incised brow, raised on a bespoke mountDimensions:20.9cm tall (excluding stand)Provenance:Provenance:Previously in the Private Collection of Mr François Antonovich (b. 1934), ParisRenowned dealer and expert François Antonovich (b. 1934), who spent much of his childhood in Cairo before setting up his gallery in Paris, assembled, from as early as 1964, a collection of South Arabian artefacts which has been known to scholars in the field for decades.Note: Published:Treasures from Ancient Yemen: On the Legendary Road of the Kingdom of Sheba, c. 2007, no. 1 (illus. and cover) The present piece is a fine example of the distinctive, enigmatic sculpture produced by the wealthy south Arabian kingdoms at the turn of the first millennium B.C. With the facial features stripped to the essence of form, it served as a votive object, and was intended to fit within a small rectangular niche within a ritual site, hence the flattened top of the head.

(Chiari, Brescia 1877 - Cavaglio Spoccia, Verbania 1950)Cm 50x37 | In 19.69x14.57Oil on canvasBorn April 7, 1877, in Chiari, he was a pupil of G. Bertini and V. Bignami at the Brera Academy, where he exhibited for the first time in 1900 Rispha protecting the bodies of his children, which won the Gavazzi prize. In the early years of his career he enjoyed considerable success. In 1903 he won another prize in Milan with Christ and the Adulteress (Milan, Galleria d'arte moderna) and completed a cycle of wall decorations in the Church of the Friars on Via Farini; in the same year the Galleria d'arte moderna in Milan received L'onomastico del Parroco in tempera and pastel as a gift. Leaving biblical and historical subjects behind, he devoted himself to genre painting and portraits. In 1917 he won a gold medal in Milan with La Violinista.His Self-Portrait is at the Piacenza Gallery and two portraits of benefactors are at the Ospedale maggiore in Milan. At the Catholic University is Contardo Ferrini in A Glory of Angels, which was his last work of any renown. Interest in his painting waned after 1925, but he was always an honorary member of the Brera Academy, even when he retired to live near Cannobbio. He died in Cavaglio Spoccia, (Verbania) on Nov. 9, 1950. He mainly made use of a very virtuoso careful palette knife technique, completing his works without brush finishing, achieving effects of compact hues and glaze. He took no interest in the artistic problems that were being debated around him, adhering to the program of anecdotal verism that he soon set for himself.

Curta Model II Calculator, Liechtenstein, July 1970, serial number 529305, in black and grey, in original black plastic case, with original instructions and 'Computing Examples for the Curta Calculating Machine', height of case 13cm - tested and working The Curta is a hand-held mechanical calculator designed by Curt Herzstark in the mid-20th century. The device is a marvel of engineering and was widely used in the years following its release in 1948. Herzstark, an Austrian engineer, developed the Curta while imprisoned in a concentration camp during World War II. The device is a compact, cylindrical calculator that can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The Curta was widely used by engineers, scientists, and mathematicians in the years following its release. Its compact design made it ideal for use in the field, and its reliability and accuracy made it a valuable tool for complex calculations. Despite its popularity, the Curta was eventually superseded by electronic calculators in the 1970s. However, it remains an important artifact of mid-20th century engineering and a testament to the ingenuity of its creator. Today, the Curta is highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts, who appreciate its elegant design and historical significance. It stands as a reminder of the power of human ingenuity, even in the darkest of circumstances.

The Putney: A Rare EMS VCS3 Mk1 Analogue Modular Synthesizer, 1970/71, serial no. 3905, marked VCS3a, in hardwood cabinet with two panels providing controls for: three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), noise generator, input level, ring modulator, filter/oscillator, envelope shaper, reverberation, output filter, 16x16 patch board matrix with six resistive connecting pins (two incomplete or for testing purposes), joystick providing X/Y modulation control; reverse with power connector, stereo headphones output, scope, right/left signal outputs, two control outputs, keyboard output, two Hi. level inputs, and two Mic. outputs (600Ω), together with plug, 17 1/2in x 17in x 16in (44.5cm x 43cm x 40.5cm) overall Footnotes: Provenance: Acquired by the current owner who worked for Peter Zinovieff (1933–2021) at Electronic Music Studios from 1970-1972. Zinovieff was co-founder of EMS and was instrumental in the development of the VCS3 Synthesizer. Electronic Music Studios Ltd. (EMS) was formed in 1969 by Peter Zinovieff, Tristram Cary, and David Cockerell, partly to fund Zinovieff's experimental music studio. The VCS3 was nicknamed 'The Putney' after the location of Zinovieff's London home and was their first commercial product. When contemporary alternatives from early synthesizer companies such as Moog and Buchla would take up entire walls, EMS provided a comparatively compact version of the electronic studio, hence the name 'Voltage Controlled Studio' (VCS). The VCS3 was modular but made use of a 16x16 patch matrix which minimised the need for patch cables to connect separate modules. The synthesizer soon found its way on to the soundtracks of popular TV programmes like 'Doctor Who' and on numerous popular albums. The VCS3 was prominently featured on tracks by Pink Floyd (such as Dark Side of the Moon's 'On the Run'); The Who (the 'Won't Get Fooled Again' intro includes Lowrey organ processed through a VCS3); Roxy Music (where it was played by original member Brian Eno who went on to use it on his solo albums); Led Zeppelin (played by John Paul Jones on 'Four Sticks'); Hawkwind, King Crimson, Jean Michel Jarre, and Tangerine Dream, among others.
