An etching by Cornelis Bloemaert (1603-1692) derived from Ferri's composition was printed in 1678, copies of which are in the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.Chief pupil and assistant of the painter and architect Pietro da Cortona (1596/7-1669) in Rome, Ferri completed the internal decorations at the Pitti Palace in Florence that Cortona had begun. Among his own work, one of the most impressive is the vast frescoes in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bergamo. Another of his major paintings - St Ambrose healing an invalid - was the main altarpiece in the Church of Sant'Ambrosio della Massima, Rome.

A SLIP-INLAID 'CHILDREN AND GRAPEVINES' CELADON EWER, GORYEO DYNASTY (918-1392) 高麗王朝内嵌童戲葡萄紋青瓷執壺Korea, 13th century. The smooth, curved double gourd form supported on a short foot has a long, slender spout, a narrow mouth atop its smaller bulb, and a finely molded twisted-cord handle with a small ring for suspension. The body of the two bulbs is decorated using black and white slip inlay with a continuous frame of winegrowers alongside children tending to the large vines with grape bunches. The foot is decorated with stylized lotus petals, the mouth with lappets beneath a key-fret band, and the spout and handle with geometric dotted lines.Provenance: From a private collection in France. Condition: Condition commensurate with age, showing expected old wear and firring irregularities, such as glaze recesses, pitting, and minuscule chips to the glaze at the mouth and foot. Minute losses and several cracks, some with old repairs. The minuscule lid on top of the ewer is lost. Please request a UV light video for more details.Weight: 2,034 g Dimensions: Height 35 cm The National Museum of Korea suggests that this kind of ewer was produced at a celadon kiln in Yucheon-ri, boan-myeon, or buan-gun in the north Jeolla-do province. They are decorated using the art of sanggam, which involves etching desired patterns onto dry clay and filling the carved spaces with black and/or white slip. After that, a translucent glaze is applied, and the vessel is fired.Wine made from grapes reached eastern Asia for the first time during the Hellenistic period (321-32 BC). It became highly popular in China 600 years later during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) and historians believe it attracted mainstream interest in Korea only after Jesuit missionaries imported it at the beginning of the 17th century. However, it is known that it was available to elite circles much earlier, which explains the rarity of the design on the present ewer to some extent.Literature comparison:Compare a near identical wine ewer with the same decorations and motif, 36 cm high, dated to the Goryeo dynasty, in the National Museum of Korea, accession number Deoksu 19.

Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669)The Adoration of the Shepherds: a Night Piece (Bartsh 46; New Hollstein 300) Etching with drypoint and engraving, circa 1657, on laid paper, a good impression of New Hollstein's eighth state (of eleven), with small margins, framedPlate 148 x 198mm (5 7/8 x 7 3/4in)Sheet 153 x 201mm (6 x 7 7/8in)Footnotes:ProvenanceChristie's, Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints, London, Tuesday 28 November 1995, lot 245.Purchased from the above sale by Bernard Levin.Thence by descent to the current owner.The Adoration of the Shepherds was a common motif during the Dutch Golden Age. It provided artists with the opportunity to create tender, private devotional compositions, which were well aligned with the personal approach to religion in the Lower Countries in that period. Painters and printmakers alike experimented with the stylistic tools offered by Caravaggism, such as the theatrical use of light and intimate framing of the image, to draft ever more expressive and moving representations. This etching depicts the Holy Family with an immediate, touching naturalism. Joseph is reading, whilst Mary and the Christ child rest, swaddled in blankets in the cold stable. Rembrandt's skilful use of etching and drypoint to delineate the figures and subtle illumination conveys the wonder of this moment, evoking compassion and empathy for the protagonists.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Edward Hopper (American, 1882-1967)Night in the Park (Zigrosser 20; Levin 80) Etching, 1921, a fine atmospheric impression, on Umbria paper with partial watermark, signed in pencil, framedPlate 172 x 210mm (6 3/4 x 8 1/4in)Sheet 328 x 395mm (12 7/8 x 15 1/2in)Footnotes:Edward Hopper is admired for his atmospheric and enigmatic depictions of life during the American Depression and particularly well known for his urban scenes of New York. The majority of these scenes depict buildings and streets devoid of people, or perhaps with one solitary figure. In contrast to his contemporaries who were depicting the crowds and bustle of cities, he chose to focus on quiet reflective moments such as a man reading a newspaper in Central Park. There is a stillness and melancholy to the image which conveys a sense of isolation. Hopper infuses it with drama through the play of light and shadow, with the solitary figure highlighted under the street lamp. The diagonal created by the row of benches draws the eye into the picture to the spotlit figure who is turned away from view, emphasizing the sense of alienation which can be experienced in a big city.Having trained as a commercial illustrator and painter, Hopper was meticulous in his execution and he printed the etchings himself to ensure the perfect result was achieved. His technique and choice of subject matter grasped the public's imagination and although the success of his paintings eclipsed that of his printmaking, the etchings are considered as masterpieces of modern American printmaking.As the New Yorker art critic, Peter Schjeldahl, succinctly put it, Hopper 'leaves us alone with our own solitude, taking our breath away and not giving it back...Once you've seen a Hopper, it stays seen, lodged in your mind's eye'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lucian Freud (British, 1922-2011)Girl Holding her Foot (Hartley 25; Figura 34) Etching, 1985, on Somerset Satin White wove paper, signed with initials and numbered 23/50 in pencil (there were also fifteen artist's proofs), co-published by James Kirkman, London, and Brook Alexander, New York, the full sheet, framedPlate 690 x 540mm (27 1/8 x 21 1/4in)Sheet 880 x 715mm (34 5/8 x 28 1/8in)Footnotes:ProvenanceMarlborough Fine Art Ltd., London.Acquired directly from the above by the present owner.Lucian Freud, a towering figure of figurative art, is mainly known for his large-scale paintings that scrutinise the human bodies with intrusive truthfulness. Throughout his career, the human form has been the subject of most of his work, driven by what Freud defined as the 'horror of the idyllic'. As such, his paintings avoid embellishment or flattery, often resulting in crude and unsettling portrayals.While painting initially took precedence in his practice, printmaking was always closely entwined. After a hiatus between 1949 and 1981, Freud began to incorporate etching into his process from 1982 onwards. After thirty years dedicated to painting, the etchings display a newfound fluidity to his art. The connection between his painting and etching became integral to understanding the artist's aesthetic. In this sense, Freud can be defined as an heir of the Old Masters, committed to the techniques of oil and etching and to the study of the human figure.In his paintings, Freud renders the physicality of his sitters by layering thick impasto paint. In contrast, his prints offer a blunter version of the same, often freeing the composition from superfluous details. This synthesis, coupled with different and more daring observation points, imparts a more intimate nature to Freud's prints evident in works like Girl holding her foot (Lot 38) and Blond Girl (Lot 40).Both etchings relate to oil portraits, however Girl holding her foot precedes the oil painting. A process of reduction and introspection can be observed in each instance, eliminating background objects and leaving the subjects isolated for closer scrutiny. This adds a poignant immediacy and a disorienting directness to the subjects.Man Posing (Lot 39), in contrast to the etchings of the naked women of the same period – also including Lot 41 and Lot 42 in this sale – is a meticulously detailed portrait. The print, created before the painting of the same subject, is one of the most elaborate etchings Freud ever made. Freud's meticulous work skilfully captures the nuances of the room's background, providing a depth of detail that sets it apart, while retaining a sense of intimacy that is somewhat lost in the painting. All the prints by Freud in this sale are an intimate glimpse at his artistic process and provide a unique perspective on his mastery of etching.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
