Lot 600

Attributed to the workshop of Antonio Canova (Italian 1757-1822). An early 19th century marble bust of Beatrice, 48.9cm high, 29.4cm wide. Antonio Canova is generally considered to be the greatest neo-classical sculptor. The original bust began as a portrait of the beauty Madame Récamier. Canova's original plaster bust did not please Récamier so he decided not to carve a marble version. Instead, he idealized his sitter's features, transforming the bust into a 'testi ideali' of Beatrice, muse of the poet Dante. The ideal head was a type of marble bust created by Canova to present images of perfect beauty. The original was first modelled in plaster in 1818 and the first autograph marble version was given to Count Leopoldo Ciconara and his wife, Lucia Fantinati, in gratitude for their work on the artist's biography in the Storia della Scultura.

λ A Regency partridgewood card table in the manner of George Oakley, inlaid with boxwood stringing, the 'D' shaped hinged swivel and fold-over top, crossbanded in calamander on four ring turned baluster columns, on downswept legs and brass caps and castors, 75.7cm high, 91.3cm wide, 44.8cm deep. Provenance: Sir Francis Cook, first Baronet (1817-190) merchant and art collector and by direct descent. His father William Cook (1784-1869) started in business as a retail linen-draper at 7 Great Warner Street, Clerkenwell and moved to 21-3 St. Paul's Churchyard in 1834. The firm of Cook, Son & Gladstones became one of the largest of its kind in the country. The founder William Cook left a fortune of over £2,000,000. The family believe that this table was possibly commissioned from George Oakley who had premises at 35 St. Paul's Churchyard.
