A PAINTED POTTERY FIGURE OF A POLO PLAYER, SUI TO TANG DYNASTYChina, 581-907. Modeled sitting in a saddle on a galloping horse, her head facing forward, her hair tied into a high chignon, the face finely painted with eyes and red lips, the arms bent to swing a polo stick, the horse energetically leaping forward extending all legs to their fullest in mid-air, its mouth agape and ears pricked.Provenance: From an old private collection in Illinois, USA. Condition: Some repair, filling and touchups as generally expected from authentic Sui and Tang dynasty excavations. Losses, fissures, firing cracks, and encrustations, remnants of pigments. Natural wear and weathering overall.Weight: 2,988 g (excl. stand), 4,788 g (incl. stand) Dimensions: Length 36.8 cmWith a modern stand. (2)The earliest literary and visual evidence of polo in China dates from the 7th and 8th centuries, including stories of polo-playing emperors and members of the imperial family. A mural depicting a game of polo, datable to the years AD 706-11, found in the tomb of Li Xian, Crown Prince Zhanghuai (AD 654-84), is discussed and illustrated by J. Fontein and Wu Tung in Han and Tang Murals, Boston, 1976, p. 101, nos. 122-25, col. pl. 15.Literature comparison:Pottery figures of polo players fall into two categories: dynamic riders seated on horses shown in full "flying gallop", with no support or stand, and elegant riders seated stiffly on horses standing on a rectangular base. The present figures belong to the first category, as do the four closely related figures of female polo players in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, dated ca. 650-700, object numbers 48-31/1, 2, 3, and 4. See, also, the figure in the Tenri Museum in Japan, illustrated by Hasebe and Sato, Sekai toji zenshu, vol. 11, Tokyo, 1976, pl. 183.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's Paris, 18 October 2018, lot 118Price: EUR 16,250 or approx.

Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974)Gantries on a Sunday, Belfast 1936Oil on board, 61.7 x 94cm (24 x 37")Inscribed with the title verso in the artist's handExhibited: Thought to be 'Gantries from Victoria Park, Belfast' RHA 1936 Cat. No. 78 Priced £50.0.0'Harry Kernoff Exhibition' Godolphin Gallery, March 1974 Cat No. 2 under title 'Gantries On a Sunday, Belfast 1936' where thought to have been purchased and thence by descent to the current owner.Louis MacNeice’s 1937 poem Carrickfergus opens with the line ‘I was born in Belfast between the mountain and the gantries / To the hooting of lost sirens and the clang of trams’, capturing the sound and landscape of the city and its industry. Similarly, in this painting, Harry Kernoff finds a moment of leisure in Victoria Park under the looming cranes of the Harland and Woolfe shipyard, framed by the mauve Belfast Hills. To the left of the painting, the distinctive Arrol Gantry is visible, built in 1908 and a crucial component in the ability of the company to build large liners like the RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic. Against this imposing backdrop, the game of two boys – setting their small toy boat to sail across the lake – adds a charming touch to the scene. Born in London in January 1900, Harry Kernoff moved to Dublin with his family in 1914. While working as an apprentice cabinet maker with his father, the young artist attended classes at the Kevin Street Technical Schools, before moving to the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. In 1923, Kernoff was awarded the Taylor Scholarship and his first solo exhibition was held in the rooms of the Society of Dublin Painters in 1927. Over the following decades, Kernoff dedicated his painting practice to the representation of daily life in Ireland’s towns and cities, chiefly in Dublin, but extending to Killarney, London, Paris, and Belfast. He was elected to the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1935 and was a regular exhibitor there throughout his career. In 1936, Kernoff included Gantries from Victoria Park, Belfast among his submissions to the RHA Annual Exhibition: a catalogue price of £50 suggests that the work was a well-sized oil, perhaps the present work. There is a detailed preparatory sketch for this painting in the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI. 7766.357). Part of the extensive collection donated by the artist’s sister, Lena Kernoff, after his death, the sketch is robust and meticulous in its depiction and annotation of the scene. Kernoff noted that he observed the ‘Gantry’s [sic] from Victoria Park, Belfast’ on the 11 July 1935. For the most part, the sketch aligns with the present oil, showing the latticed ironwork of the gantries, contrasting with the curve of the bridge and flowing water. A sauntering bird, however, has been replaced with a striding worker – a Belfast cousin of the artist’s characteristic Dublin dockers. Four sketches in this collection relate to this visit to Belfast, with the artist also capturing views of the Bellevue Steps at Belfast Zoo and two views from the top of Cave Hill. Paintings related to these sketches were exhibited at the Waddington Galleries in 1936, and at further Dublin exhibition in 1937. For artists interested in the urban landscape, Belfast’s harbour and shipping industry had long provided visual inspiration: ranging from early nineteenth-century vedute to William Conor’s evocative street scenes and depictions of the city’s workers. This painting, filled with the colour and character of Kernoff’s best urban paintings, is an important component of the artist’s oeuvre and a notable representation of the northern city.
