Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, 1618 Sevilla – 1682 ebendaGENRESZENE – HIRTENFAMILIE MIT SCHAFEN Öl auf Leinwand. 20,5 x 37,4 cm. Verso auf dem Keilrahmen gedruckter Aufkleber: „COLLECTIE GOUDSTIKKER / AMSTERDAM - KALVERSTR. 73“ mit handschriftlicher „No 1609“.Ferner rotes Lacksiegel mit Palette und Umschrift „Collectie Goudstikker“.Beigegebene Dokumente: Original Kaufrechnung von der Galerie J. Goudstikker, Schilderijen, Kalverstraat 73, Amsterdam, ausgestellt an: Mr. W. Suermont, Westersingel 84, Rotterdam. 8. Dec. 1925. Ferner: Quittung der Fa. Goudstikker an M. Suermont, Rotterdam, über 8.000 holl. Gulden., Amsterdam 8. Dec. 1925. Ferner: N. Pappenheim-Luitweiler, „Restaurator van Schilderijen“, Essenweg 25, Rotterdam 16. Mit Text: „Voor restauratie. Herdersfamilie met schapen, geschilderd door Murillo“, ausgestellt an Mr. W. Suermondt, Dartheuvel-Leersum, 8. Febr. 1965. Das nicht allzu große Gemälde führt uns in skizzenhaftem Pinselstrich in die Szene einer Schäferfamilie. Links die Mutter mit Kind an der Brust, zwischen zwei weiteren Kindern und links einem Mädchen mit Wasserkübel. Die Mutter blickt auf die beiden Kleinkinder herab, von denen eines einen Brei löffelt, während sich das nackte Knäblein dazustellt. Weiter rechts zwei Schafe. Dahinter, in nebeligem Dunkel die Gestalt des leicht gebückt schreitenden Schäfers mit geschultertem Hirtenstab. Im Vordergrund ein Tonkrug und eine große Schale mit Brei oder Milch. Dieser weiße Farbeffekt verleiht betonenden Akzent und korrespondiert zu den weiteren helleren Partien im Bild. Das Gemälde zeigt Studiencharakter. Das Bildthema führt das einfache ländliche Hirtenleben realistisch vor. Kinder in diesem Milieu zählen ohnehin zur spezifischen Charakteristik in Murillos Werk, nicht selten im Beisein von Schafen. Das Werkverzeichnis setzt die Entstehung dieser Studie in die letzten Jahre Murillos, zwischen 1670 und 1680. Das erklärt wohl, dass diesem Entwurf keine großformatige Ausführung folgte. Vorausgegangen sind etwa Murillos „Häusliche Toilette – Entlausung eines Knaben“ oder „Die geldzählenden Obstverkäufer“. Das Gemälde ist im Werkverzeichnis auf Seite 217 abgebildet, dort mit Besitzerangabe: „Amsterdam, Sammlung Dr. Lanz“. Der Autor des Werkverzeichnisses, August Liebmann Mayer war Hauptkonservator für Altspanische Malerei an der Alten Pinakothek München. Er galt für die Spanische Kunst weltweit als die Autorität schlechthin. Sein Murillo-Werkverzeichnis erschien 1913. Bereits in den 1930er-Jahren wurde Mayer Opfer einer beispiellosen antisemitisch motivierten Kampagne, unterstützt vom „Völkischen Beobachter“. Die Behauptungen angeblicher Falschzuschreibungen erwiesen sich als unbegründet. Besonders um den als extrem nationalsozialistisch bekannten Wilhelm Pinder, keineswegs für die Malerei zuständig, scharten sich Gelehrte, die nun gegen die Fachautorität Mayers polemisierten. Das zeigte leider bis heute Wirkung, etwa wenn sich der Handel gelegentlich unsicher zeigt. Erst in jüngster Zeit wurde die Reputation Mayers wiederhergestellt (Kolloquium zu Ehren von August Liebmann Mayer, Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte München, Oktober 2021). So sollten weder an Mayers Werkverzeichniseintrag, noch an der Autorschaft Murillos Zweifel bestehen. Dies sowohl ob der hervorragenden Malqualität, als auch aufgrund der hervorragenden Provenienz.

THE D.B. 16 BORE PERCUSSION SPORTING GUN OF ARTHUR WELLESLEY, 1ST DUKE OF WELLINGTON KG, GCB, GCH, PC, FRS (1769-1852) BY JOSEPH LANG, LONDON, CIRCA 1840with sighted barrels, platinum plugs, engraved tang, signed scroll-engraved locks (defective), figured walnut half-stock, chequered fore-end and grip, engraved iron mounts including trigger-guard with lever safety behind, and silver escutcheon engraved with the owner~s crest beneath a Ducal coronet (rubbed) and brass-tipped ramrod (worn throughout)73.2 cm; 28 7/8 in barrelsThe Duke of Wellington~s success on the battlefield was apparently not matched by his ability as a sportsman. Lady Frances Shelley recalled a shooting party at Maresfield Park, Sussex in October 1819 where ~…..the Duke shot far better than he had done in the morning. Bad was the best, however; for he had contrived to empty two powder horns and a half, with very little to show for it. If truth be told, the hero of Waterloo was a very wild shot. After wounding a retriever early in the day, and, later on, peppering the keeper~s gaiters, he inadvertently sprinkled the bare arms of an old woman who chanced to be washing clothes at her cottage window! I was attracted by her screams, and the fearful ejaculations caused by pain and fear. I took in the situation at a glance, and went to the cottage door. ~I~m wounded, Milady!~ she cried. ~My good woman!~ said I, ~this ought to be the proudest moment of your life. You have had the distinction of being shot by the great Duke of Wellington!~ ~Oh! La!~ exclaimed the old woman, as she glanced towards the Duke with eyes full of tears, not knowing whether to be proud or angry. Then suddenly her face was wreathed in smiles, as the contrite Duke slipped a golden coin into her trembling hand! This incident was apparently not an isolated one, four years later in January 1823 at Wherstead Park in Suffolk, The Morning Post recorded ~…..the Duke of Wellington was so intent on his game, that he lost sight of the party, and in firing his double-barrelled gun, his Grace unfortunately lodged a part of the contents in the face of his Noble Host; seven swan shot entered the cheeks, and one the nose. His Grace, hearing an exclamation of ~I am shot,~ threw down his piece and hurried to the spot, where he found his friend leaning against a tree, the face streaming with blood. One of the party galloped off to Ipswich for medical aid, whilst the others carried the wounded Nobleman to the lodge. A surgeon in less than an hour attended, extracted the shot, and pronounced the Noble patient to be not in any danger…..~ Edgcumbe 1913, pp. 73-74 and Selin 2019.All proceeds to be donated to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal
