Lot 30
Ludwig Deutsch (Austrian, 1855-1935)The Woodworker signed and dated 'L. Deutsch 1884' (upper right)oil on panel40.8 x 28.6cm (16 1/16 x 11 1/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWilliams & Sons, London.Private collection, UK.Thence by descent. The present lot is an important subgenre within Deutsch's art – that of the connoisseur or Arab artisan, workman, or shopkeeper admiring an array of local handicrafts. Deutsch acquired hundreds of decorative objets when abroad, and these souvenirs of travel furnished both his Paris studio at 11 rue Navarin and the Orientalist pictures he produced until his death in 1935. It is also known that the artist frequented the photography studio of G. Lékégian in Cairo. Deutsch's interest in these items, and the element of personalisation, makes it hard not to imagine that the figure in the present lot is a surrogate for the artist himself, contemplating the next treasure to add to his carefully curated collection. The man may be identified as a woodworker, due to the particular type of chisel he holds, and the mother-of-pearl wooden inlaid drawer. His expertise in other crafts (and particularly metalwork) is suggested by the inclusion of a pair of bellows on the wall inside his niche-like shop. Interestingly, the interior of the wooden drawer is adorned with floral motifs and red paint, more typical of Turkish furniture and decorative objects than Egyptian.The red script to the right of this figure and on the door jamb or frame is inscribed with Arabic texts. There is, at top, the number '81'; the letters at the bottom read 'rqm' (raqem) meaning 'number'. This may refer to the government designation of local Cairene houses and businesses, made for tax or ownership purposes. The long diagonal red line between these two inscriptions might be the word 'Masr', meaning 'Egypt', although this would be an odd place and context for it. The craftsman's shop or workspace itself occupies a niche within this inscribed stone façade, in typical Cairene market street fashion. The aquamarine colouring of the ablaq courses is unusual, however – this striped stonework, typical of the Mamluk era, was usually black and white, red and white, or a combination of these three colours. Against the wall on the left are architectural remnants and part of a mashrabiyyah screen. This latter type of woodwork was created without the use of nails or glue; turned wood pieces are fitted together like pieces of a puzzle, to create a beautiful and intricately patterned surface that was at once open and closed. Mashrabiyyah windows were used in the harem in particular for this very reason, as they allowed the women within to see out, while simultaneously protecting them from others' view.The detritus on the ground might include an aged mango pip in the foreground on the right, and its inclusion suggests Deutsch's love of incidental detail. Contemporary artists such as the British Orientalist John Frederick Lewis also delighted in such details – Lewis's signature style was an assortment of orange or tangerine peels, however, scattered across the dirt or stone floors that he painted.We are grateful to Emily M. Weeks, Ph.D. for writing the catalogue note. The painting will be included in Dr. Weeks's concise catalogue of Deutsch's works, currently in progress.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 17
Catalan school of the second half of the fifteenth century."St. Stephen", ca. 1480.Tempera painting on panel and gold background.Measures: 154 x 79 cm; 161 x 85.5 cm (total).Gothic panel of the fifteenth century with a frame topped with a poly-lobed arch. It is the representation of St. Stephen, staged standing and haloed, in frontal position. The saint carries in his left hand the stones of stoning, these in turn resting on the gospel. Also, in the other hand, the palm that identifies him as a martyr. Formally this work already shows us an important advance with respect to the international Gothic style that dominated the panorama in all Europe during the 14th century. Thus, although the line continues to maintain its prominence, a more naturalistic representation of the volumes begins to be sought, and attention is paid to detail and quality that responds to a direct Flemish influence. However, the panel maintains the full body, a resource that monumentalizes the figure and makes it more corporeal, losing the stylization of the previous century. We also see the attention to detail of Flemish origin in areas such as the hair, painted almost hair by hair, the palm or the tiles that make up the floor.The deacon Stephen, whose name means crown, was the first martyr of the Christian faith, who was stoned by the Jews, who accused him of blaspheming Moses. According to a 10th century manuscript dedicated to his biography, on the day he was born he was snatched away by Satan, who replaced him in his cradle with a small demon. He then left the child girdled at the door of a bishop named Julion, who discovered the child being suckled by a white doe and adopted him. Some time later Stephen returned to his father's house, and with the sign of the cross expelled the demon that occupied his place. Ordained deacon by the apostles, he argued with the Jewish rhetoricians, who had him arrested and condemned for blasphemy to death by stoning. Regarding his patronages, he belongs to the category of holy healers, and was considered to have the power to heal ringworm. Because of the stones from his stoning, he was invoked against stones and headaches. In Germanic countries, the legend attributed him to have been the stableman of King Herod, so he was considered the patron saint of horses, coachmen and drivers. He was also the patron of slingers, because of his stoning. St. Stephen has as main attributes, from the 15th century, a book or a sheet and the stones of his stoning, as we see here.
