An Unusual French Revolutionary Period Riddle Fan, the monture of bone, with some light carving and painting to the upper gua

Tennants Auctioneers

Lot 5004

An Unusual French Revolutionary Period Riddle Fan, the monture of bone, with some light carving and painting to the upper guards. The double paper leaf, hand coloured, shows two couples in extravagant 18th century dress, the ladies appearing to be beseeching the gentleman to share their affections. Cupid floats on a cloud between them, holding both a flaming torch and his bow and arrow, tokens of Love. To each side the leaf features a vignette containing symbols, enclosed in green and pink draperies. The left section contains the word ''DE'' in capitals, with a yellow pitcher, a spray of flowers, and, possibly, a heart. To the right, the word ''VOEUX'' (wishes), a standard bush, and a yellow crown. Both sections contain what could be a letter ''L''. Thus, this is an example of a riddle fan, the sounds when the symbols are spoken aloud giving the meanings. From the left, ''Elle possède mon Coeur'' from L (elle) po (dessin d'un pot) + ssè (dessin d'un ''cep'' - de vigne) + de + mon (dessin d'un mont) + cœur (dessin d'un cœur), and to the right, ''elle couronne mes vœux '' from L + couronne + mes (dessin d'un arbre de mai) + vœux. The leaf is bordered with gold and a subtle ruby. The verso is plain. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27.5cm. Infinite thanks to Ondine P-P and Georgina L-B of the Circle de l'Eventail, Paris, for their invaluable assistance with this puzzle.. In generally good order and strong. When closed, the sticks in the gorge centre are seen to be bowed. Both guards have a crack near the top but there is no obvious repair. The leaf has light foxing to the verso and one or two folds may have been re-secured.

Tennants Auctioneers

Lot 5016

Three Mid-18th Century Ivory Fans, the first French, the monture quite simply decorated with a linear design to the upper guards and silvering on the gorge. The silk leaf features a lady in 18th century dress, tall hairstyle, watering her plants in the garden. From this central focus more flowers weave towards the sides of the fan, painted in pastels, their stems of gold thread, and additionally adorned with tiny coloured sequins. The verso is plain cream gauze. Contained in a period card fan tube in pink. Guard length approx. 10.75 inches or 27cm. Together with a similar French fan, the central cartouche showing a musical gathering, two side vignettes painted with rural landscapes, all bordered with tiny gold sequins. The reserves, painted with parrot tulips in red and orange, pink roses, cornflowers and carnations, also feature small flowers and leaves made from applied straw. Guard length approx. 10.75 inches or 27cm; and a third ivory fan, the monture decorated with a regular design of black dots, complementing the double paper leaf, divided into two sections but effectively en grisaille in shades of black through to grey. One scene shows an older lady in white bonnet taking a walk with a small boy, stopping to talk to a passer-by. To the right, a hunting scene, two men on horseback chasing a stag, with two dogs in pursuit. Simple grey flowers painted on the verso. Guard length approx. 10 and 5/8 inches or 27cm (3). The deep pink leaf has faded to soft pink and cream. Most folds are split at some point and one is missing to the far right. The second fan has spits to most folds, sewn at the seams to retain the leaf, other folds having been supported from behind. Silvering to the monture is dull and worn away in places. The third fan has damage to both guards, hard to determine quite how much as they are covered in very yellowed clear tape. The upper section of the lower guard may well be completely missing.

Lot 136

Jenny Watson Red Haired Girl with Buttoned Dress, 2020 Rowney Watercolour on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Jenny Watson is a post-conceptual painter represented by Vigo Gallery in London. She draws aspects of daily life into her art practice. Here the self, a bird, a cat and a horse are assembled as a set of key images urgently rendered in watercolour. She often uses the device of self-portrait as alter ego. Disjunctive combinations of image, text, haberdashery and objects alongside traditional painterly formats are often presented in an interrogation of painting itself. Jenny Watson was born in 1951 in Melbourne, Australia. She completed her Diploma of Painting, National Gallery of Victoria Art School, Melbourne, Australia (1972) and Diploma of Education, State College of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia (1973). From 1978-1984 she was a Partner in Art Projects, Melbourne, (Artist run space). Since 2002 Jenny has been an Adjunct Professor, Queensland College of the Arts, Griffith University, Australia.

BLAAS, EUGEN VON BLAAS, EUGEN VON 1843 Albano Laziale - 1931 Venedig Titel: Junge Venezianierin mit violettem Kopftuch

VAN HAM Kunstauktionen

Lot 1196

BLAAS, EUGEN VON BLAAS, EUGEN VON 1843 Albano Laziale - 1931 Venedig Titel: Junge Venezianierin mit violettem Kopftuch. Technik: Öl auf Holz. Maße: 32,5 x 24,5cm. Bezeichnung: Signiert oben rechts: Eug.v. Blaas. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Provenienz: Privatsammlung, Europa. Neben den meist großformatigen Genredarstellungen Eugen von Blaas' waren seine kleineren Brustbilder weiblicher Modelle bei einem internationalen Publikum sehr gefragt. Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um Portraits im eigentlichen Sinn, sondern um die Wiedergabe eines aparten italienischen Frauentypes in unterschiedlicher Charakterisierung. Diese Spezialität de Blaas' brachte ihm den Beinamen "Maler der Venezianischen Schönheiten" ein. In die Reihe dieser Werke gehört das hier angebotene Werk "Mädchen mit Kopftuch". Eugen de Blaas zeigt hier eine ganz andere Seite seines malerischen Könnens. Die Konzentration richtet sich ganz auf die charaktervolle Mimik der jungen Frau, Kopftuch und Haar sind flüchtig, fast impressionistisch gemalt, der Pinselstrich darf bei dieser leichten Technik gezeigt werden, die Spitze des Kleides ist pastos tupfend gebaut. Die Lichtführung in diesem kleinen Bild ist besonders raffiniert: Das starke, von oben einfallende Licht liegt gleißend auf dem Kopftuch, der weißen Spitze der Bluse und dem Dekolletee. Vor dem tief dunklen Hintergrund entsteht ein starker Kontrast in dem das, durch die krausen roten Haare leicht verschattete Gesicht den ausgleichenden Mittelpunkt bildet. Der Blick aus den mandelförmigen Augen, das leicht Lächeln und der schräg gelegte, von dem hellblauen Kopftuch ganz umspielte Kopf vermitteln einen herausfordernden Eindruck, dem sich der Betrachter kaum entziehen kann. Anders als bei dem Bild "Zwei Venezianerinnen", bei dem die Blicke der beiden Schönen auf die neue Preziose konzentriert sind und der Betrachter außenstehender Beobachter der Szene bleibt, ist der Blickkontakt zwischen dem rothaarigen Mädchen mit dem Kopftuch und ihrem Gegenüber gleichsam das Thema des Bildes selbst. Erläuterungen zum Katalog Eugen von Blaas Deutschland Romantik 19.Jh. Gemälde Porträt Malerei Venedig BLAAS, EUGEN VON BLAAS, EUGEN VON 1843 Albano Laziale - 1931 Venice Title: Young Venetian with Purple Headscarf. Technique: Oil on wood. Measurement: 32,5 x 24,5cm. Notation: Signed upper right: Eug.v. Blaas. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Provenance: Private collection, Europe. Besides the mostly large-format genre depictions of Eugen von Blaas, his smaller bust images of female models were in great demand by an international audience. These are not portraits in the true sense of the word, but rather the reproduction of a distinctive Italian type of woman in different characterizations. This speciality of de Blaas' earned him the nickname "painter of the Venetian beauties". In the series of these works belongs the here offered work "Girl with Headscarf". Eugen de Blaas shows here a completely different side of his painting skills. The concentration is entirely directed towards the young woman's facial expressions, full of character; headscarf and hair are fleeting, almost impressionistically painted, the brushstroke may be shown in this light technique, the tip of the dress is built pastos dotted. The lighting in this small image is particularly refined: The strong light coming from above lies glistening on the headscarf, the white lace of the blouse and the décolleté. Against the deep dark background, a strong contrast is created in which the face, slightly shaded by the curly red hair, forms the balancing centre. The view from the almond-shaped eyes, the slightly smiling face and the slanting head, completely surrounded by the light blue headscarf, create a challenging impression that the viewer can hardly escape. In contrast to the image "Two Venetian Women", in which the glances of the two beauties are concentrated on the new preciousness and the viewer remains an outside observer of the scene, the eye contact between the red-haired girl with the headscarf and her counterpart is, as it were, the subject of the image itself.

Lot 1013

STOSS, VEIT STOSS, VEIT um 1447 Horb - 1533 Nürnberg Umkreis Titel: Mondsichelmadonna. Datierung: Um. 1500. Technik: Lindenholz. Fassung entfernt. Maße: 126cm. Provenienz: Privatbesitz, Deutschland. Die sehr gut erhaltene Figur zeigt die Muttergottes stehend auf der Mondsichel, ein Hinweis auf die Offenbarung des Evangelisten Johannes, das Jesuskind auf ihrer linken Hand vor ihrer Brust haltend und mit der rechten Hand stützend. Das nackte Jesuskind wendet sich dem Betrachter zu. Es hält in der rechten Hand einen Apfel, Symbol des Sündenfalls als Hinweis auf die Erlösung der Menschheit durch seinen späteren Kreuzestod. Maria trägt über einem engen Kleid einen über ihre Schulter drapierten Mantel, den sie unter dem rechten Arm aufnimmt, wodurch dieser in langgezogenen Falten vor ihrem Körper fällt. Der Faltenwurf wird belebt durch knittrig aufwirbelnde, virtuos geschnitzte Partien. Marias Gesicht mit der hohen Stirn wird umrahmt von den breit ausfächernden Haaren, die in Strähnen vor dem Körper und in Wellen auf ihren Rücken herunterfallen. Ursprünglich wird die Figur die Mitte eines Altarschreines gebildet oder als Teil eines Marienleuchters im Kirchenraum gehangen haben. Die virtuos geschnitzte Plastik dürfte im Umfeld des großen Bildhauers Veit Stoß (1447-1533) in Nürnberg entstanden sein. Vor allem die Auflösung der Falten erinnert an den von Veit Stoss geprägten Stil der Nürnberger Plastik um 1500. Auf dessen Umfeld verweist auch das zarte Gesicht der Maria. Wir danken Guido de Werd, Köln, für seine freundliche Unterstützung bei der Katalogisierung der vorliegenden Arbeit. Erläuterungen zum Katalog Veit Stoss Deutschland 15./16. Jh. Skulpturen Religiöse Darstellung Skulptur Madonna mit Kind STOSS, VEIT STOSS, VEIT ca. 1447 Horb - 1533 Nuremberg Circle Title: Woman of the Apocalypse. Date: ca. 1500. Technique: Lime wood, frame removed. Measurement: 126cm.Provenance: Private ownership, Germany. The very well preserved figure shows Our Lady standing on the crescent moon, a reference to the Revelation of the Evangelist John, holding the Child Jesus on her left hand in front of her breast and supporting her with her right hand. The naked baby Jesus turns to the viewer. She holds an apple in her right hand, a symbol of the Fall of Man as a reference to the redemption of mankind through his later death on the cross. Mary wears a cloak draped over her shoulder over a tight dress, which she takes up under her right arm, causing it to fall in elongated folds before her body. The drapery is enlivened by crumpled, virtuously carved parts. Maria's face with the high forehead is framed by the broadly spreading hair, which falls in strands in front of the body and in waves onto her back. Originally the figure will have been the centre of an altar shrine or hung as part of a Marian chandelier in a church. The virtuosic carving is thought to have been created in the surroundings of the great sculptor Veit Stoß (1447-1533) in Nuremberg. The dissolution of the folds in particular is reminiscent of the style of Nuremberg sculpture around 1500, which was influenced by Veit Stoss, and to whose surroundings the delicate face of the Virgin Mary also refers. We are grateful to Guido de Werd, Cologne, for his kind support in cataloguing the present work. Explanations to the Catalogue Veit Stoss Germany 15th/16th C.

Milne (A. A.) When We Were Very Young, presentation copy signed by the author and Christopher Robin as 'Billy Moon', fifth edition, illustrations by Ernest Shepard, original blue pictorial cloth, gilt, dust-jacket, most of spine missing, 8vo, 1924.⁂ An exceptional association and presentation copy. The inscription on the half-title in the author's hand (apart from the words 'Billy Moon') reads: "For Soldier (this book about Himself) with love from his friend Billy Moon Written by himself in the presence of A.A. Milne". Christopher Robin's childhood nickname was Billy Moon. This copy was signed by him aged 5 and was given to Louis Goodrich, whose signature is above the inscription on the half-title. "Alan clearly tried his best to create a happy childhood for his son, and once even arranged for an actor called Louis Goodrich, who he had met at the Garrick Club, to dress up in full military uniform to surprise Christopher. At the time Christopher was fascinated by soldiers, but later suggested that Alan may have regretted introducing him to Louis as they struck up an unlikely friendship: It was difficult for him, of course, Christopher said. For there was Nanny always in the way. Nanny who claimed so much of my affection. And on the rare occasions when Nanny was out of the room, there was my mother in her place. Where did he fit in? Nowhere special. And now here was Soldier. You could see how my eyes lit up at the very thought of Soldier, at the mere mention of his name. You could see (or you could be told) how he made me laugh, how I adored him. No, my father couldn't compete." (The Extraordinary Life of A.A. Milne, by Nadia Cohen).
