Louis de Moni Breda 1698-1771 Leiden A game seller holding a mallard drake at a window together with a basket and other ducks and rabbits on a stone ledge signed lower centre: L: De Moni F oil on panel stamped on the reverse with the inventory number: 247 34 by 25.5 cm.; 13.375 by 10 in. Louis de Moni was born in Breda and studied under Charles de Biset and then under Jan Thomas van Kessel before moving to the Hague where he enrolled with the Academy in the Hague in 1721. Between 1724-5 he held the position of teeknaar under Phillip van Dyck and with whom he worked in Kassel until 1750 when he returned to Leiden and where he settled until his death. De Moni was active as an artist but he is also recorded as an art dealer and a restorer. The subject matter of this charming picture also works as a sexual pun the Dutch verb vogelen meaning to hunt birds was also much used in common parlance as a synonym for sexual intercourse. The motif of comely young women set within niches selling poultry is common theme within the Leiden school of fijnschilders and the double entendre would not have been lost on its contemporary audience. This lot is sold with a copy of a certificate from Dr. Walter Bernt dated Munich November 1974 confirming the attribution to de Moni.
Lot 1
Fifteen and a half ounce ash billiards cue, the butt end with an ivorine plaque inscribed 'T. Reece/World's Record Break 499,135 Unfinished/July 6th 1907/Break 901/June 13-14 1916" and marked for Burroughes & Watts Limited, London Note: a encyclopedia entry published close to the time records ' The "anchor" or "cradle" cannon stroke was productive of immense breaks, which reached a climax in the game between T. Reece and J. Chapman. Reece's break, however was not officially recognized by the Billiard Association owing to play having been protracted into the night after the exclusion of the public. The stroke was eventually banned to obviate the otherwise inevitable destruction of the interest in the game by reason of the monotony of this stroke.
