[NAPOLEON BONAPARTE - THE LITTLE KNOWN FIRST WILL OF THE EMPEROR]: BERTRAND HENRI GATIEN (1773-1844) French General. Count Bertrand and Grand Marshal of the Palace. Bertrand was aide-de-camp to Napoleon I and the closest officer to the Emperor, who had full confidence in him. He served during the expedition to Egypt and the Battles of Austerlitz, Wagram, Leipzig and Waterloo and accompanied Napoleon I to Elba in 1814 and to St. Helena in 1815. Bertrand was condemned to death in 1816 but did not return to France until Napoleon´s death when King Louis XVIII granted his amnesty. In 1840 Bertrand went to St. Helena to bring Napoleon´s remains to France. An extremely rare and interesting Autograph Manuscript signed `C[om]te Bertrand´, two pages, 4to, Longwood, St. Helena, 2nd August 1819 and 12th December 1820, in French. Bertrand, the closest General to Napoleon in his last years, copies in full the letter he received from Napoleon I in 1819 with the Emperor´s first draft of his Last Will and Testament (predating his ultimate Will of 1821) and his instructions regarding his belongings. The autograph manuscript states, in part, loyally copying Napoleon´s letter, `My dear B[ertran]d, I send to you my codicil written in my hand in order that after my death you could claim everything that belongs to me here at St. Helene. You will dispose of it as follows. You will give half of my diamonds to Madame Bertrand and the other half to Madame de Montholon…´ Napoleon further asks Bertrand to give differing amounts of money to various individuals including Montholon, Marchand, St. Denis, Bertrand (receiving the greatest amount) and a few others, all of them the closest allies to Napoleon in his final years. The Emperor further states `You will keep my silverware, my weapons, my porcelain, my books…..for my son…´ further instructing `I will give you a letter this evening…with my instructions for the fund investment of a sum of 6.000.000, keep all this in order to be able to return them to me if it is convenient to me.´ Bertrand adds`2nd August Signed Nap. Written to the envelope To Count Bertrand, my grand Marshal…. Attached to a parcel stamped with 2 seals with coat of arms of the Emperor with the written text This is my will, written in my handsigned Napoleon…´ Marshal Bertrand adds`The Emperor gave me in the evening a parcel…. on which was written.. Bertrand will keep at my disposal or will open after my death.´ To the second page Bertrand adds an annotation, dated 12th December 1820, giving some more details about the instructions received from the Emperor. An extremely interesting historical document in the hand of Napoleon´s closest General in his last years at St Helena. Very small overall minor age wear with one crease to bottom left corner, otherwise VG The original copy of this first draft of Napoleon's Last Will and Testament was burned, together with other documents, by Bertrand and Marchand in the afternoon of 19th April 1821 following Napoleon´s orders as his final, and more commonly quoted, Last Will and Testament had been completed. Charles Tristan, Marquis de Montholon (1783-1853) French General during the Napoleonic Wars. He chose to go into exile on St. Helena with Napoleon I after the Emperor´s second abdication. Louis Joseph Narcisse Marchand (1791-1876) Count of the first Empire. Marchand was "Valet de chambre"of the Emperor, also during his captivity in St. Helena. Alongside Bertrand and Montholon, he was one of the three executors of Napoleon's Last Will and Testament. Louis Etienne Saint-Denis (1788-1856) called by Napoleon Mameluke Ali his "French-born servant". Napoleon required him to dress in the style of the Mamelukes. Saint-Denis went to Russia with Napoleon, joined Napoleon on Elba, returned to France for the "Hundred Days," and accompanied Napoleon into exile on St. Helena, where he served as second valet and as Napoleon's librarian. Saint-Denis was born at Versailles, where his father served King Louis XVI as an overseer of the royal stables. The Mamelukes were the slave horsemen of the Ottoman Empire. They became the rulers of Egypt. Napoleon was impressed by the Mamelukes' courage and fighting skills. He formed a special Mameluke corps in the French army.

English SchoolPortrait of Tsar Peter the Great as the Grand Czar of Muscovy, c. 1698 oil on canvas laid down22.5 x 19.8cm (8 7/8 x 7 13/16in).Footnotes:ProvenancePossibly Christie's, London, 17 July 1807, lot 28 (sold by Mallough to Seguier for three pounds) – 'Czar Peter by Rembrandt'.This rare image is connected to Tsar Peter's stay in London during his Grand Embassy of 1698. Furthermore, it relates directly to several engravings of the Tsar made during Peter's visit by the likes of Robert White, William Faithorne and Jacob Gole.Although only Godfrey Kneller's portrait in the Royal Collection is the only official image made of the Tsar during his visit to London, it seems that the appearance of the Russian ruler was captured in another unofficial image. Unlike Kneller's highly westernised depiction, this rare depiction shows the Tsar in the traditional guise of a Muscovite Tsar bedecked in opulent furs, diamonds and a gold threaded cloak. The exotic appearance of the Tsar in traditional Russian dress caught the imagination of Londoners and resulted in the demand for popular images such as this one.Both scholars Anthony Cross (2000) and Dmitrii Rovinskii (1888) were unaware of a surviving painting connected to the aforementioned engravings. Notably, Faithorne's version showing the Tsar in his robes and fur hat bears the inscription that it was 'Drawing by the life Since his Imperial Majesty Came into England'. Rovinskii had connected the engravings to a reworking of Kneller's portrait, however, the reappearance of this painted portrait adds further complexity to this suggestion.Pigment analysis favours a dating to c. 1698 and has identified no later synthetic materials dating from post 1715. Furthermore, the blue pigment in the Tsar's jacket is comprised of the costly natural ultramarine (lapis lazuli).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Nikolai Efimovich Kuznetsov (Russian, 1876-1970)Dancer signed in Cyrillic and dated '17' (upper left)mixed media on cardboard64 x 48cm (25 3/16 x 18 7/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceCommission shop of the USSR 'Moscomissiontorg', N15 (label on verso)Acquired from the above a European gentleman in the 1970sThence by descent to an important private collection, EuropeWorks by Nikolai Kuznetsov (1876-1970) are mainly found in museum collections and are almost never offered at auctions. Kuznetsov's Dancer, 1917, is an excellent stylistic example of the art of the Jack of Diamonds group. The artist was a prominent member of the association and his works show the peculiarities of the Russian avant-garde. Kuznetsov was born in 1876 in Moscow and studied painting in the studios of Russian masters Valentin Serov and Konstantin Korovin. In 1906, he participated, for the first time, in the exhibition of the Moscow Association of Artists. A year later he moved to Paris to study at the studios of Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Colarossi, at the Vitti Academy with the Spanish impressionist Anglada Camaraza (1871-1959) and the post-impressionist Charles Guerin (1875-1939). Undoubtedly, the trip to France determined further development of the artist's style. He began designing for the theatre in 1917, and even organized his own theatre studio.The Dancer may be one of his manifestations for his theatrical designs. Similar to the painting of the Dryads from the Chelyabinsk Museum; the dark haired and bare breasted woman's construction discards traditional forms. During this period, Kuznetsov engaged in the development of the expression of form, using a new stylistic technique. The dancer's body and dress are divided into planes that subtly infuse into a body in motion and dance. The borders of the dancer's body are underlined, typical of the artists of the Jack of Diamond group - such as I. I. Mashkov, P.P. Konchalovsky, A. I. Kuprin and R. R. Falk. Unlike the Dryads, the lack scenic of background departs from narrative, the dance is not concrete in time, we find the woman dancing with no plot, and left to our own imagination and a greater focus on her movement. In the first years of Soviet era, Kuznetsov continued to work actively, and, like some of his associates in the avant-garde society, completely abandoned artistic pursuits and returns to realism in his painting. The Dancer is a unique and rare example of the pre-revolutionary avant-garde period of Kuznetsov, this voyage of stylistic discovery and experiments is very rare to see at auction.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
