Oil on table. Board measurements: 23 x 29 cm, framed measurements: 35 x 39 cm. Máximo Juderías Caballero (Zaragoza, 1867 – Sardañola del Vallés, 1951) was a Spanish painter. He developed his work as a decorator of rooms in some of the palaces in Madrid. Part of his work can be seen, at the end of the 19th century, on the walls of the Cerralbo Museum, when he was chamber painter of Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, XVII Marquis of Cerralbo (in collaboration with the Valencian painter José Soriano Fort). He lived and developed his profession during his youth in Paris, 2 along with other Spanish painters José San Bartolomé Llaneces and Francisco Domingo Marqués developed their own style of paintings set in seventeenth-century costumes.

A white Meissen figure of the lady with a fan (Stehende Dame mit Fächer), circa 1934-1948Modelled by Paul Scheurich, the lady with short waved hair wearing a clinging evening gown with pleated flounce on her left hip and flower corsage on her right shoulder, her arms crossed with a large ostrich feather fan held to her right hip, on a square base, the side incised 'SCHEURICH 29', 47cm high, crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue and impressed crossed swords/'weiß' to the side of the base, incised model number A 1224 , impressed 'Bossierer' numeral 142 and impressed crossed swords/'weiß' to underside of baseFootnotes:This model, together with five others by Scheurich, won the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition of 1937, see Johannes Rafael, Paul Scheurich 1883-1945 Porzellane für die Meissener Manufaktur, Meissener Manuskripte, Sonderband VIII (1995), no.40.Scheurich modelled the figure in 1929 after spending several weeks in Paris in June and July, where he would have seen the newest fashions. In 1928 womens' dresses started becoming more form-fitting, incorporating asymmetrical hems, swags and ruffles. Scheurich must have been inspired by fashionable women he saw in Paris, modelling the figure in a gauzy dress with deep décolletage and narrow straps, a waterfall of pleats to one side of the skirt and a corsage applied to one shoulder. In her right hand is a large ostrich feather fan, a feature that was very much en vogue at the time. The cover of 'Le Petit Echo de la Mode' from 20 May 1928 shows an illustration that is strikingly similar and could have been the type of thing to inspire him. This style of dress even made its way across the sea and a gown by Chanel was illustrated in the Indianapolis Times on 9 June, 1928 (Noon Edition, p.9), where it was stated: 'A graceful side bow and a shoulder bouquet give charm to a raspberry chiffon evening gown of superb simplicity.'The manufactory made an advance payment for the model in July 1929 of RM 500, though Scheurich was working on several models and so the figure was delivered to the manufactory in March 1930 and the total price of RM 3,800 was paid in the following months. The first figure in porcelain was produced in Autumn 1930 and the first example sold in Spring 1931. Scheurich originally intended the figure to be produced only in white. According to the records of royalty payments, nine figures were sold by the end of 1944.A similar example from the Professor Johannes Rafael Collection was sold Bonhams Paris, 14 April 2022, lot 83, and a biscuit version in the same sale, lot 82.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ΩΩ VAT on imported items at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

For the series created, especially for AOAP, I have highlighted the most activist part of the speech. I have shown more clearly the dimension of the female character, the girl. With traits that illuminate the discourse of abuse, protection and the empowerment of reason, but since creation. From the female drive. The one that lies in the exact balance between the rational and the creative. The one that is established whole and without fissures. A character who up to now has lived in harmony with the rest of the work, but who is now shown on the scene and points to the viewer. There are four titles: MY LIMITS, a work that makes use of nature as a protective and defensive barrier. Beauty and strength go together without questioning their symbiosis. I show myself, I am. Full. But I know my true beauty. And that beauty is my limits BIZUM, a work that talks about the immediacy of the use and consequently the abuse of everything that is within our reach. The characters in the play laugh mischievously, in a relaxed but expectant attitude. You could say they are ready. ATOMIC, a work that speaks of the potential and high management capacities in complex situations Change our anatomy and adapt to the environment. Turn our ballast (decayed flower) into a soccer ball with which to strengthen our drive towards better results. PLAY HIDE with THE ELEPHANT in the ROOM talks about the fact of playing hide and seek before such an important issue as evidence. The climate crisis. And playing hide and seek with the elephant in the room is not wanting to see the evidence. If we summarize the language, we find ourselves again, before a type of mistreatment, disaffection and ignorance.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.

But it is for his highly detailed and striking landscapes that he is best known, his original work and limited edition prints being collected by enthusiasts all over the world. Born in the Kyle of Lochalsh, on Scotland’s West Coast, Donald Shearer studied painting in Aberdeen at Grays School of Art where he achieved the RSA Award. He exhibited widely including at the RGI and at The Royal Scottish Academy. RSA records show his first painting was shown in 1959 when his address was 7 Simpson Place, Dingwall and from 1979 onwards he was living at "Rossal", Seabank Road, Invergordon. After more than thirty years, his final painting at the RSA was exhibited in 1990.Additional images now available.

Michel Basbous (Lebanon 1921-1981)Tête voilée (Veiled Head) bronze signed, dated and numbered '2/8', number 2 from an edition of 8, executed in 197735.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 cm Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the Artist's EstateBorn in 1921, in Rachana precisely. Michel Basbous, son of a priest of a tiny village in the north of Lebanon was amongst the first students to enroll at the newly founded 'Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts'(ALBA) in 1945 and one of its first graduates. Three years on, and after his first public success in the capital, he left to Paris in 1950 were he joined the atelier of Zadkine. His master there, Gaumont, asked him the purpose of his stay in Paris, and Basbous answered, deadpan, 'To learn sculpture'. Gaumont replied: 'Lebanon, the Mediterranean, Phoenicia, Assyria, Babel, Egypt... You have them all. What are you doing here? Go back to your country.' Ultimately, Basbous would obey this sage stricture. But not before having accomplished much in Paris. Upon his return in 1956, and after a short stay in Beirut, he took the surprising decision to move back to his native village Rachana. Back then, Rachana was not even accessible by asphalted roads. ' It was a new experience for me. As I did not have a workshop in the village, I placed my works on the side of the road and started working in the open air.'Michel spared no efforts to nurture a public interested in the arts, so he created the festival of Rachana in 1960, mixing theatre, music, poetry with sculpture and painting, in the hope of motivating people to interact with different kinds of cultural activities. He invited famous figures like César, Jack Lang, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Hasan Fathi and Adonis just to name a few. He fought fiercely to disseminate sculptures in public spaces, government buildings, municipal gardens... He spared no efforts to export his art to the world, multiplying trips to the USA, Japan, France and elsewhere. He experimented in different genres, styles, sizes, media from the classical marble, stone, wood, bronze, alloys to the more experimental fibre glass, resin, cement. He also believed that the world will discover him one day as a gifted painter as he was known as a talented sculptor. He was a charismatic man, larger than life. Michel Basbous, pioneer of modern sculpture, especially monumental in his country and the Arab world. His artworks are found at Oxford Museum in London, British Museum London, UENO Museum in Japan, the Modern Art Museum in France as well as in many other public places in Lebanon and abroad.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.
