Jivan Ram, Raja (fl. 1825-1840) - Portrait of Lieutenant Jasper Trower, of the Bengal Horse Artillery Oil on canvas Signed and dated Jeewun Ram 1827 lower left, with indistinct Sanskrit inscription underneath 35.5 x 31 cm. (14 x 12 1/4 in) Provenance: the Trower family; by descent to the present owner Comparative literature: William Sleeman, Rambles and Recollections , London, 1844, vol. ii, pp.285-7 J.P. Losty, Of Far Off Lands and People: Paintings from India 1783-1881 , Indar Pasricha Fine Art exh. cat., London, 1993) J.P. Losty, Indian Portraiture in the British Period , The Indian Portrait, 1850-1860', ed. by Rosemary Crill and Kapil Jariwala, National Portrait Gallery, 2010 J. P. Losty, A new portrait miniature by Jivan Ram acquired , Asian and African studies blog, British Library website, 12th January 2014 A previously unrecorded and unpublished oil painting by the Indian artist Raja Jivan Ram, whose work, miniatures and oils, are rarely available on the open market. Oil paintings by Ram are almost exclusively held in public institutions, with small collections in the British Library, London, and the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Ram is recorded in contemporary literature by William Sleeman who described him as an excellent portrait-painter, and a very honest and agreeable person, [who] was lately employed to take the Emperor's portrait ( op. cit., vol. ii, pp. 285-7). A preliminary drawing is unfortunately all that remains of the portrait described by Sleeman, but the fact that the Mughal Emperor Akbar II (1806-37) commissioned his portrait to be painted by Ram highlights the regard that the artist had with the Indian, as well as the British, elite. [The drawing is now held in the British Library s India Office and Private Papers collection, ref.: Add.Or.3167] The high regard held for Ram by his contemporaries is further shown with his appointment in the 1830s by the famous Begum Samru of Sardhana (1745-1836), whose palace was decorated with some twenty of his oil paintings ( op. cit., Losty, Jan. 2014). The European influence on Indian portrait painting, which began in the 18th century, and was continued by artists travelling and working in India such as George Chinnery (1774-1852) and Thomas Hickey (1741-1824), is clearly apparent in the portrait of Lieutenant Jasper Trower. The most comparable portrait by Ram to the present work is that of Captain Robert McMullin, which is similarly dated 1827, and may well have been executed in close succession (currently held by the British Library, ref.: F863). The sitter, Lieutenant Jasper Trower (c.1807-1845) of the Bengal Horse Artillery, later a Captain in the 7th Light Field Battery, was killed in action during the Battle of Mudki, Punjab, 1845. We have been unable to find any record for an oil painting by Raja Jivan Ram available on the open market for the last 20 years.

Design: Circuit Bus Artist: Eloise Kerr  About the artist Eloise Kerr is a Scottish artist and designer. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2006 with a BA Honours in Design and since then she has been working on community art projects, undertaking various art and design commissions and developing work in various disciplines. With a design background, as well as a qualification in Contemporary Art Practice, Eloise works on both concept-led and stylised designs as well as expressive artworks.  About the design While researching for this design Eloise focused on maps of transport routes in central London and began to visualise the routes and stops as the lines and shapes on a circuit board. By interpreting the routes in this format, the idea represents the constant flow of energy through the city today, as well as making reference to advances in transport technology. Location: Dingwall Road  Dimensions: Length- 2.4m Width 0.5m Height- 0.95m

Lots 301-391 are from the Private Collection of Tim Ellis. A passionate collector of modern British art and sculpture, Tim Ellis amassed a breath-taking collection of hand selected works throughout his career in the City of London. Upon retirement Ellis moved from the idyllic Georgian architecture of London's West Square, where the collection had been a much loved part of his home, and made the difficult decision to disperse his collection and begin afresh. The artwork he amassed is a true reflection of his eclectic tastes, and unwavering interest in the modern and contemporary British art scene. He collected without bias or concern for the reputation of, or the market for, the artist, and without concern for the medium of the artwork. "I didn't buy for investment, or with a strategy: I've only acquired works that I have fallen in love with, that I couldn't resist, that I felt I just had to live with. I haven't even thought of myself as a collector." His refreshing approach to amassing this collection is apparent in the estimates given to the works, making them affordable additions to a home or collection. It is Ellis's hope that the dispersal of the collection will inspire a new generation of collectors to buy works by lesser-known and in his own word "criminally neglected" artists. His cardinal rule was to never buy a work that didn't fit into the back of a London taxi, a rule he broke for one lady, the artist who would be his future wife, and the catalyst for the move from West Square. Ellis says "Living with a painter has certainly had an effect on me as a collector: I now have a greater insight into and appreciation of a more language of paint. I also feel a greater commitment to support living artists." His new collection will comprise works from living artists whose integrity and dedication he admires.

PIPER JOHN: (1903-1992) English Painter. Typed Manuscript Signed, John Piper, one page, 4to, Henley-on-Thames, 16th June 1975. The manuscript, with several holograph corrections, is Piper’s foreword to Stained Glass in England 1150-1550 by Brian Coe, and states, in part, ‘I welcome this enlightened and well-informed book. When I was nineteen or twenty I began to try to study the art of English medieval stained glass. Books about the craft existed all right….Otherwise, one could scuffle through Methuen’s Little Guides to individual counties, or Murray’s Handbooks, or the few volumes of the Victoria County History then existing. Adequate illustrations were extremely rare. Much less has happened since the early 1920s to alter this situation than one might think. Herbert Read’s book of 1926 showed - almost for the first time in Great Britain - that stained glass was art, or could be so; not just craft. Baker and Lammer’s book of 1960 has fine coloured illustrations….But there is plenty of room for this book, and I find myself delighted by the splendour of the colour photography, by the care of the author’s topographical research….I hope this work will stimulate deans of cathedrals and incumbents of churches in the production of more and better reproductions, posters, books and postcards of English stained glass….’ Signed and dated at the foot. Together with an A.L.S., John Piper, two pages, 8vo, Henley-on-Thames, 16th June 1975, to Mr. Mills. Piper states that he hopes his correspondent will find the foreword adequate, and explains ‘I mention Baker and Lammer’s book, because this is how I know it, rather than Baker & Herbert Read, as Mr. Coe calls it in his Bibliog. Would you be kind enough to check this with him - and call it anything he fancies?’, concluding by remarking that he looks forward to the production. Also including a contemporary photocopy of Piper’s manuscript with several additional ink corrections in an unidentified hand. VG, 3

He described a wide variety of religious ceremonies that conduct a person throughout life: in birth, marriage, sacrifice, sortilege, and funeral.

§ Mel Howse, 'Poverty Over' sculpture, 2010, enamel on steel, 220cm high, bowl 120cm diameter, This sculpture was made for and is being sold by Christian Aid. "Poverty: lack of money, food, shelter - but ultimately about inequality and lack of power. This piece explores the gap between those who are living in poverty and those who are not. Here are two circular vessels. The most conspicuous of these, a vertically oriented shallow lens, represents the human eye. It stares challengingly at us. The eye is society's conscience. Beneath sits a deep bowl, it's interior hidden from us. If we come closer we see another eye looking up from it's base. This is the eye of the poor - unseen from a distance and lost as we walk away. This eye requires more from us to get our attention. The juxtaposition of the two vessels implies that one vessel brings attention to the other. In essence they are the same. Poverty is staring at us and can be uncomfortable to witness. But once we have seen, the challenge is to act." The piece was commissioned in 2010 by Christian Aid who exhibited it throughout the cathedrals of Britain over a three year period. It was launched at Southwark Cathedral by Loretta Minghella. The surreal sculpture animated their campaign about poverty, drawing in visitors to see a unique and unusual piece of work formed of two huge enamelled vessels which are in the form of eyes internally. It is made from spun steel and fired industrial enamels. The sculpture is by contemporary glass artist and enameller Mel Howse. It features we believe, the largest hand worked enamelled bowl ever made at a diameter of approximately 1.2m and 600mm deep. Mel is an experimental glass artist who pushes the boundaries within her commissions. Her largest work is a 500m2 glass façade for a Sainsbury flagship store - hand made in fired enamels. Her most unusual piece is the The Artbath in cast iron and vitreous enamel. She has long worked in industrial environments to create glass art despite scale. The auctioneer's are waiving their vendor's commission on the sale to benefit Christian Aid
