Colin Middleton RHA RUA MBE (1910-1983)The Trojan Horse (1942)Oil on canvasboard, 36 x 26cm (14 x 10¼'')Signed with monogram Exhibited: Belfast, Colin Middleton,  Belfast Museum and Art Gallery 1943, where lent by Mrs W.A. Wood Although it was painted in the middle of the Second World War, The Trojan Horse seems to belong to the series of works that emerged from Colin Middleton's reaction to the Spanish Civil War and perhaps this is the reason why such a powerful image was borrowed back from its purchaser to be included only in the 'Miscellaneous' section of Middleton's solo exhibition at the Belfast Museum and Art Gallery in 1943. The female figures of Middleton's early surrealist paintings were often incomplete or altered in some way, but by 1942 they appear to have become closer to ciphers, identifiable through their clothing or through some anthropomorphic features. In this desert landscape, a dress and gloves hang off this scarecrow figure that has an expressionless mask for a face; her single leg is staked through an old pram without wheels, its paint blistering, that sits beside a toy soldier on a horse. There is the suggestion of a lost family in an inhospitable world; the imagery in many ways is reminiscent of Nevill Johnson's post-war paintings, but Middleton's title also recalls his interest in Jung and in using painting to explore symbols and archetypes often rooted in the imagery of classical literature. While this gives a broader resonance to the painting, coming as it does soon after the death of Middleton's first wife and the blitz of Belfast it remains deeply personal.  Dickon Hall

Sir Thomas Lawrence P.R.A. (Bristol 1769-1830 London)Portrait of Jane Allnutt with her pet spaniel, within a painted oval oil on canvas, unlined61 x 50.4cm (24 x 19 13/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceLeft by the sitter to her half-brother John Allnutt (1803-1881)Violet Susannah Knox, his daughter Vicesimus John Knox, her sonHolliss Allnutt Knox, his son, and thence by descent to the present ownerThe enchanting subject of this unrecorded portrait by Lawrence is Jane Allnutt (1818-1845), the daughter of one the artist's more significant patrons whose family had made their fortune in the wine and brandy trade in the 18th century. John Allnutt (1773-1863) lived in some style in a palatial home in then-rural Clapham, and used his considerable wealth to buy from the great artists of the day; works by Constable and Turner graced the walls of the family home including the latter's The Devil's Bridge, St. Gothard of circa 1803-4 which bore a label in John's hand recording that he had gifted the painting 'to my daughter Jane.' In addition to a full-length portrait of John by Lawrence, we know he painted several other portraits of the family, amongst which a second study of Jane painted in 1826. Judging from that unfinished portrait (K. Garlick, Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1989, no. 21) we can assume that the present study was painted around 1821-22 when Jane was three or four. Like the 1826 portrait, it has descended through the sitter's family after her death in 1845, the year of her marriage to Henry Carr (1817-1888) at Holy Trinity Church, Clapham. Lionized by the aristocracy, Lawrence was known for his good nature and charm, although his closest friendships were amongst the professional men and their families who were his earliest patrons. Not least of these were the families of John Julius Angerstein, Sir Francis Baring and indeed John Allnutt, who is known to have helped Lawrence in his financial difficulties: £5,000, for example, is said to have been paid to Allnutt following the artist's death.Many of Lawrence's best portraits during the last decade of his life were of children: indeed, his importance in this regard was recently recognised when the National Gallery in London agreed to buy the artist's celebrated Red Boy for £9.3 million. This dazzling tour de force (which was the first painting to be displayed on a British postage stamp) was described by the Gallery this year to be a unique opportunity 'to acquire an exceptionally important painting by one of the finest European portraitists of the early 19th century, which is of outstanding significance for British national heritage.' Previously dismissed as superficial, owing to the apparent facility of his technique, none of Lawrence's followers matched the fresh immediacy of his brushwork, with the possible exception of John Singer Sargent, and today, especially following the 1979 exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, this great artist's stature has been reappraised: he is now widely believed to have been the finest portrait painter of his generation in Europe. Lawrence's achievement as a painter was based largely on his confidence in his largely self-taught powers as a draughtsman. As appears to have been the case with the present portrait, he usually drew the figure directly on his canvases before applying the paint, rarely producing separate preliminary sketches. His admiration of the great draughtsmen of the past influenced his own work as well as stimulating him to acquire outstanding examples of the work of the Old Masters. Unlike such artists as Sir Joshua Reynolds, who delegated such chores to studio assistants, Lawrence was also remarkable for insisting on choosing the dress, accessories and settings of his sitters with particular regard to the age and concerns of the sitter. This intimate depiction of a close family friend is the perfect example of Lawrence's extraordinary ability and dedication to his art.We are grateful to Peter Funnell and Brian Allen for their assistance in cataloguing this lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

George Romney (Beckside 1734-1802 Kendal)Portrait of Miss Mary Barnes (1745-1822), half-length, in a blue dress with white lace trim, within a painted oval oil on canvas77.1 x 63.9cm (30 3/8 x 25 3/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceThe sitter, and thence by descent to Mr G. Barnes, by whom given to his distant cousinLiteratureA. Kidson, George Romney. A Complete Catalogue of his Paintings, London, 2015, p.51 cat. no. 56, ill.The following 5 lots depict members of the Barnes household, all painted by George Romney and all of which have remained in the family since they were executed in the 1760s. Pater familias in this group was Henry Barnes (1702-1793); a successful lawyer who was Clerk of the Errors in the Court of Common Pleas and a Commissioner of Bankruptcy and who was also known as Secondary Barnes. This portrait is mentioned by Richard Cumberland in his obituary of George Romney published in 1803 in which he states that it was made shortly after his move to Gray's Inn (see Lit. lot 11). A later inscription on the portrait of Secondary Barnes suggests a date of 1768 for the portrait but Kidson believes the whole group to be a little earlier in the 1760s and, if as Cumberland suggests, they were executed after his move to Gray's Inn they would date to after Romney's return from his trip to Paris in the autumn of 1764. The remaining paintings of Mrs Anne Barnes, wife of Secondary Barnes, and their children and daughter-in-law presumably date to not long after the portrait of the father – Kidson suggests that these were most probably commissioned once the initial portrait had been completed and approved. In a note in the Royal Academy sketchbook (no. 2), Romney made a note those who still owed him money. In this list there is a mention of a 'Mrs Barnse' who still had 6gns outstanding. However, it is not clear whether this refers to Anne, wife of either Secondary Barnes or his daughter-in-law, Anne (née Phillips). For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
