A rare set of three children's miniature sample clothes and accessories exquisitely executed and contained in a cardboard tray inscribed in old ink 'Foundling Cloaths without pins made for a Pattern for A. Ja **ns to make by Decemr 1751', comprising full length apron, 30 x 9cms, a square - perhaps a pillow case, 11.5cms sq., and a jacket, 30 x 12.5cms. (4). It is likely that these evocative sample pieces originate from the Foundling Hospital founded in London in 1739 by the Sea Captain Thomas Coram for 'The education and maintenance of exposed and deserted young children'. The provision of clothing for foundlings was influenced by the Honorary Medical Attendant - William Cadogan (1711-1797) who was appointed in the 1740's. In 1748 he published his text - An Essay Upon Nursing And Management of Children From Their Birth to Three Years of Age - based on his experience with foundlings. In 1749 Cadogan was appointed a Governor of the London Foundling Hospital, in 1752 (a year later than the tray inscription) he moved from Bristol to London and the following year he was appointed Physician at The Foundling Hospital. Cadogan was strongly opposed to the swaddling of infants - clothing for children should be light and simple. The clothing of children was a constant consideration for the Hospital, by 1781 agreement was reached on a standard 'Foundling Dress' advocated by Cadogan. A Connoisseur's Collection

Andalusian School, Circle of JUAN MARTÍNEZ MONTAÑÉS (Alcalá la Real, Jaén, 1568 - Seville, 1649); 17th century."Infant Jesus".Carved and polychrome pine wood.The right foot has been restored.It has faults in the carving.Measurements: 46 x 14 x 13 cm.Round sculpture representing the Baby Jesus, the figure is naked, with articulated arms, which indicates that it is a figure conceived to dress, which were very popular during the Baroque period. This work is stylistically related to the Spanish Baroque, revealing a special influence of the great master of the Sevillian sculptural school of the 17th century, Juan Martínez Montañés. The material preferred by Montañés was always polychrome wood, with the collaboration of great painters, including Francisco Pacheco, Velázquez's master. He enjoyed great fame and popularity, becoming known in Seville as "the god of wood" and in Madrid as "the Andalusian Lysippus". His art, which he passed on to his pupils in his studio, was inspired above all by the natural, sometimes showing more classicist characteristics than Baroque ones. Towards the end of his career, however, he evolved towards a fully Baroque realism. Formally, the classical elegance and harmony, the basis of Baroque works with a mountain influence, stand out. It is, above all, a fully naturalistic work, idealised in terms of the subject matter, but highly realistic and expressive. In the Sevillian environment, the 17th century was a period of enormous economic and, therefore, artistic boom.

TRIADE DE PADMASAMBHAVA ET SES ÉPOUSES, MANDARAVA ET YESHE TSOGYAL, EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, CIRCA XVIIE SIÈCLEWith an original silver skull-cup (kapala) mounted within Padmasambhava's left hand.Himalayan Art Resources item no. 4810 24 cm (9 1/2 in.) high Footnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY TRIAD OF PADMASAMBHAVA AND HIS CONSORTS, MANDARAVA AND YESHE TSOGYALTIBET, CIRCA 17TH CENTURY西藏 約十七世紀 銅鎏金蓮花生大士與曼達拉娃及益西措嘉像Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sOne of the finest known examples of this rare, complete subject, the present gilt bronze triad depicts Padmasambhava—the 'Lotus Born'—according to his creation myth, joined by his two wives. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism in Tibet in the 8th century. He is also the root guru of the Nyingma order, who regard him as a 'Second Buddha' and maintain he planted treasure teachings (terma) throughout the Himalayas to be discovered when the world is ready. According to traditional biographies, Padmasambhava was miraculously born in the center of a lotus blossom on Lake Danakosha in Oddiyana, which this sculpture commemorates. In delightful detail, two fish, a duck, a goose, an auspicious conch, and a mythical crocodile (makara) populate the lake's swirling vegetal waters envisioned by the ensemble's base. Padmasambhava is joined by his two consorts and close disciples, each smaller and seated on a lotus flower stemming from the same central stalk. His first consort, Mandarava (viewer's left), was a princess from Himachal Pradesh in Northwestern India and is therefore depicted wearing Indianized dress consisting of a pleated sari, large plug earrings, and jewelry with triangular foliate designs. She raises her hands in the age-old gesture of entreaty (anjali mudra), and the branching lotus stem below her also blooms a blue lily. His second consort, Yeshe Tsogyal (viewer's right), hailed from an aristocratic family in Central Tibet, and is therefore dressed in a heavy royal Tibetan cloak and wears floral-medallion earrings with small piercings. She wields the scented skull cup, a vajrayana implement, while displaying the gesture of teaching (vitarka mudra) with her other hand. Below, her stem also sprouts a white lotus bud. Tsogyal, whose name means 'Victor of the Lake', is considered the first Tibetan to have achieved Buddhahood in a single lifetime. The present ensemble ranks highly among a range of other examples depicting this subject listed as HAR set no. 5068. Exquisitely cast, thickly gilded, and featuring a particular style of long, plump lotus petals with frilled tips, this sculpture joins a growing body of sculptures being attributed to Tashi Lhunpo monastery in Shigatse, Central Tibet (for further discussion, see Luo, 'Tashi Lhunpo Statuary: Karma and Mt Meru', in Bonhams, Hong Kong, 26 November 2019). Tashi Lhunpo is the traditional monastic seat of the Panchen Lama, the Gelug order's second-in-command, and maintained a particularly close relationship with the Qing court during the reign of the Kangxi emperor (1662-1722). A related bronze of Panjaranatha Mahakala was sold at Bonhams, New York, 19 March 2019, lot 928.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
