Paul Henry RHA (1876-1958) FIGURES IN THE WOODS, c.1903pencil and charcoal with ink on papersigned lower left; also inscribed in the artist`s hand, Paul Henry White Cottage Knaphill Surrey` on the reverseP15.75 by 11in., 39.375 by 27.5cm.Adam`s, 7 April 1993, lot 106;Private collectionKennedy, S.B., Paul Henry, Paintings Drawings Illustrations, Yale University Press, New Haven & London, 2007, catalogue no. 259, p.144 (listed)Dated c.1903 on the evidence of the signature, its scroll-like surround and the architectural structure at the base of the drawing. It resembles another Henry piece, The wedding was the greatest affair that was ever seen in France, 1902-3 (Kennedy, 2007, catalogue no. 6) The latter, and Figures in the Woods, were almost certainly part of a number of drawings made to illustrate an unknown narrative. As Henry moved into White Cottage, Knaphill, in 1903 this drawing cannot date before that year.The strongest Whistlerian nature of the drawing is typical of Paul Henry`s illustrative work done in the years before he first went to Achill. Charcoal was almost his sole medium in those years. `No chalk or crayon has the same soft, velvety quality, no other material is so sensitive and tractable,` he later wrote. `I felt every time I used it, that the vine branches from which it was made brought me nearer to the spirit of France in some almost mystical way.` In An Irish Portrait **INSERT FOOTNOTE**1. he stated that his love of charcoal dated from a chance encounter with a charcoal burner at Rambouillet in 1900, but in fact he was using it long before that meeting, which may merely have confirmed its qualities to him. Indeed, it is more likely that it was a group of drawings by Millet, done in charcoal and sanguine and executed with spontaneity, as Millet`s finished pictures were not, which started him using the medium.Dr S.B.

Dublin, later called Abbotstown;with the Gorry Gallery, Dublin;Where purchased by the present owner"`An Exhibition of 18th - 21st Century Irish Paintings`, Gorry Gallery, Dublin, 26 November to 6 December 2003, catalogue nos. 16 & 17We have here two of the finest examples of early 19th century Irish equestrian art to grace the auction rooms for a long time.They are painted by William Brocas, a member of a distinguished family of 18th century Irish artists, famous for their portraits, landscapes and streetscapes, many of them popularised by engravings and illustrations in books and periodicals.William was born around 1794-5. He practised in Dublin and exhibited at the Society of Artists from 1809, when only a teenager, and at the RHA from 1828 to 1863. He was elected an ARHA in 1854 and RHA in 1860. Among his most well known works are his depiction of the New Post Office (known to us today as the GPO) in 1818, which was engraved by J. Martyn, The Departure of Irish Emigrants which was purchased and by The Irish Art Union in 1842 and printed by them and a very fine View of Bray Head in the collection of the NGI.In the first painting we see Colonel Westenra`s racehorse, Freney, with jockey and attendants on The Curragh, County Kildare. Freney, was sired by Roller out of the mare Promise. At the time of this painting he was the property of Colonel Henry Westenra of Camla Vale, Co. Monaghan. Colonel Westenra had served in India with the 8th Royal Hussars, and was the brother of William Westenra who inherited the title of Lord Rossmore from his uncle, John Cunningham, a distinguished Anglo-Irish soldier, who died without issue. The Westenra family was originally from Holland, and settled in Ireland in the 17th century - interestingly before the arrival of William of Orange.The setting of the picture is the Westenra family`s Curragh stud, Brownstown, which along with the adjacent Lark Lodge Stud, then belonging to William Disney, made up, as it does to this day, the oldest continuously operating stud in Britain and Ireland.The Curragh Camp can be seen to the left of the composition and across the flat Curragh Plain to the right is Brownstown House. The blankets that the young attendant is packing with a belt bear the Westenra initial clearly picked out in red.Freney had originally been owned and trained by William Disney before they were sold to Colonel Westenra. This seems to have been a commonplace transaction between the two stud farms as the famous Birdcatcher or Irish Birdcatcher as he was commonly called was owned, trained and then sold by William Disney to Henry R. Westenra, 3rd Lord Rossmore.Freney had a very successful racing career with numerous victories both in Ireland and England and listed below are his 11 recorded Irish wins between 1833-1837 taken from the racing calendar:The Kings Plate of 100 guineas at the Curragh -April, May, June 1834, April, May, June 1835 and June 1836. The Sweepstakes of 200 sovereigns at the Curragh, September 1834.His Excellency The Lord Lieutenant`s Plate of 100 guineas at the Curragh, September 1834, 1835 and 1836.The second picture in this lot was one of four portraits of horses commissioned by James Hans Hamilton and a receipt from `Brocas` for £31-10-0 for painting three of these (including the present picture) in the then owner`s family`s possession was dated 1836.Considering the depth of Irish involvement in horse breeding and training surprisingly few Irish horse painters and their works are extant. It is therefore of particular interest to exhibit two fine examples of this genre made all the more significant by the fact that Roller is the sire of Freney (no.17). It is an extraordinary incident of serendipity that a previous collector managed, after one hundred and fifty years, to put father and son together on the same wall!We are grateful to the Gorry Gallery for their assistance in cataloguing these paintings.

1943 BSA M20 Reg.no. KTO 498 Frame no. WM20 2096178 Engine no. WM20 2096178 The M20 evolved into one of the longest serving motorcycles in the history of British military motorcycling, as well as becoming the most numerous type produced for WWII with 126,000 in active service, so therefore many are still in use today. This motorcycle still retains its original matching numbers frame and engine and was first registered on the 15th April 1948. This originality is thought to be highly unusual for a military motorcycle. This bike has most of the military accessories of the period, including field stand, engine bash plate (these are pattern items), original front mudguard lower stay, convoy tail light and rear panniers (although the bags are not of the correct type, however they are ex WD haversacks and are dated 194? And 1943.This motorcycle was in regular use between 2002 and 2009, although it has seen limited use since. By the time of the sale the vendor hopes to have completed one last adventure on a trip to Snowdonia, N. Wales. It should be noted by the old MOT certificates that the annual mileage between 2002 and 2007 seems very high, this was due to an error with the mileometer. A replacement was fitted in 2007 and the mileage after this date is more accurate. It is MOT’d until June. Bidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid

1975 Jawa 50cc Moped Reg.no. JYS 292N Frame no. 72094 Engine no. 72094 Jawa Motokov is a motorcycle manufacturer based in the Czech Republic and was founded in Prague by Frantisek Janecek who bought the motorcycle division of Wanderer in 1929. The name Jawa was in fact devised as an amalgamation of the founders name and the name Wanderer. Jawa made a variety of mopeds with two-stroke engines, including the Babetta and was one of the first companies to include electronic ignition on their mopeds. This example was restored in 1999, during which time new piston rings were fitted, following which the bike has been stored in a collection. It has a V5c and old style log book.

1961 Matchless 500cc Twin Reg.no. 903 MYC Frame no. A49357 Engine no. S542018976 Matchless is one of the oldest marques of British motorcycles, first manufacturing bikes in 1899. They produced a wide range of models and even had a long history of racing success. In 1949 the first Matchless vertical twin 500cc was produced which like other Matchless models, was a predictable handling, comfortable, well made, reliable and economical machine for its day. Unfortunately such great attributes were not enough to keep them in business and the name disappeared in 1966. This motorcycle has been in long term ownership, approximately 35 years, and it was rebuilt in 2000. It was then used until 2006 then dry stored since. A gentle re-commissioning will be required prior to its return to the road. It is sold with V5c. Bidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid

1938 Triumph Tiger 3H Deluxe Reg.no. GFC 755 Frame no. TL 6421 Engine no. 8.3H11971 In 1936 Triumph motorcycles was acquired by the owner of Ariel and that same year the compaby began its first exports to the United States, which quickly grew into the company’s most important market. In the 1930’s Triumph produced a number of models, the 250cc, 350 (3H) and 500cc which were soon rationalised by general manager and chief designer, Edward Turner, into three sports roadsters, the Tigers 70, 80 and 90. The 3H is quite a rare bike today, due to its short production run and this is one of the best examples available. It was rebuilt to a very high standard five years ago, by Ted Arkle, who had had worked for Triumph for 38 years. This motorcycle has a V5c and a selection of bills supporting the restoration.

1959 Moto Guzzi 235 Lodola Reg.no. KSL 276 Frame no. F589 Engine no. RE513 The Lodola was designed by Carlo Guzzi and it was different to anything previously made in Mandello. The engine, rather than being horizontal, was inclined at 45 degrees and there was a chain driven overhead camshaft. 1959 was the first year of the 235cc version, which was fitted with the far more reliable pushrods and rockers. This excellent example was fully restored in 2010. The vendor informs us that the condition of the engine is ‘excellent’ and the remainder is good overall. There is a V5c with this motorcycle.
