Having made her stage debut at the age of nine and her first British film by the age of seventeen, a career in Hollywood soon followed and Dame Joan was signed under contract to 20th Century Fox. During her career, Dame Joan has worked with some of Hollywood's greatest legends including, Bette Davis, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Paul Newman, and Shirley MacLaine. She has also guest starred in some of the world's most popular TV series on both side of the Atlantic, including, Batman, Star Trek, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Starsky & Hutch, Mission Impossible, The Love Boat, Monte Carlo, Pacific Palisades, Roseanne, Will & Grace, Footballers Wives, Hotel Babylon, Benidorm, Miss Marple, The Royals and American Horror Story. Dame Joan's compelling portrayal of Alexis Carrington Colby in the hit television series, Dynasty, is arguably her most celebrated role, winning her a Golden Globe for Best Actress (among dozens of other accolades) and cementing her as a cultural icon. She is widely credited for making the show an international success. During the excess of the 1980s, viewers around the world tuned in weekly to witness the elaborate schemes and legendary showdowns that Alexis orchestrated while looking like a million dollars in every scene. The fashion alone was a big draw for viewers and Dame Joan had a significant input in her character's glamorous wardrobe. Joan is also an accomplished producer, an author of nineteen books and a regular contributor to several UK and US publications. She was awarded an OBE for her services to the arts in 1997 and in 2015, she was made a DBE for her lifetime contribution to charitable causes.

Collier uses carefully arranged objects to remind the viewer of the transience of life: the hourglass, skull and bubbles remind us of the inevitability of death. However, the ivy and globe signify eternal life and the resurrection. The inscriptions which appear in Latin in the present painting underscore that meaning and stress the transitional nature of life: HOMO EST/SIMILIS/ BULLAE (man is a bubble) and SIC FUGITT./IRRE.PARABILE/TEMUS' (it escapes, irretrievable time).A similar composition, signed and dated 1663, was with Johnny van Haeften, London, March 1983 and is now in the Heinz Collection, Washington.Dr. Fred Meijer confirmed the attribution to Collier at the time of the 1998 sale.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Perrin has long been recognized as a premier destination for exquisite jewellery. Since its founding in 1961, the brand has attracted a diverse clientele of celebrities, politicians, and discerning collectors from around the globe, such as Charles Aznavour and Mireille Mathieu. With a deep commitment to timeless sophistication and modern elegance, O.J. Perrin’s collections epitomize the very essence of Parisian luxury.The Maison’s signature pieces are informed by an exceptional understanding of contemporary design; defined by their graceful lines, each piece is a seamless blend of modern innovation with a classic aesthetic. Whether creating original pieces or reimagining cherished heirlooms, O.J. Perrin has become renowned for its ability to personalize jewellery to reflect the individuality of its clients. This bespoke approach has helped elevate O.J. Perrin pieces into a symbol of exclusivity in the world of fine jewellery.This dedication to craftsmanship and artistry echoes the legacies of other prominent Parisian jewellers, such as Georges Lenfant, whose story also began near the iconic Place Vendôme. Born into the world of French jewellery design, Georges Lenfant quickly mastered his trade, undertaking apprenticeships and studying jewellery design in both Paris and abroad. In 1900, he established his own workshop at 47 rue des Petits-Champs, just minutes away from the jewellery houses of Place Vendôme and Rue de la Paix. By 1903, his exceptional work was already recognized, earning him a listing in the Revue de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfevrerie.Lenfant’s designs, celebrated for their creative brilliance and flawless execution, attracted attention from the leading jewellery houses of the day, including OJ Perrin, Cartier, Mellerio dits Meller, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Determined to establish his own identity, Georges created a maker's mark in 1909, ensuring his pieces stood apart.In the period following World War II, Georges Lenfant continued to innovate, expanding further with the acquisition of Verger Frères. This partnership led to an exciting collaboration with Vacheron Constantin, producing exquisite timepieces and jewellery, including designs for Hermès. Jacques, who succeeded his father in the 1960s, infused the brand with a renewed focus on goldsmithing, creating beautifully textured pieces that celebrated the versatility of gold. One of his signature designs was the interlocking chain motif, which resulted in over 3,000 unique pieces, now considered some of the most iconic works of the Georges Lenfant legacy.Much like O.J. Perrin, a pillar of Parisian luxury under the direction of Ralph Aljord, Georges Lenfant has built a lasting legacy in the world of fine jewellery. The two houses have collaborated in the past, creating exquisite pieces that combine elegant details with innovative design. These creations perfectly exemplify a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, personalized design, and the seamless blending of timeless elegance with contemporary flair.

After a short career in law, he was quickly attracted to the theatre and became a student of poet and playwright Ben Jonson. Beaumont's first work was Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, in 1602 and by 1605, Beaumont had written commendatory verses to Volpone one of Ben Jonson's masterpieces. Soon after, he met John Fletcher and together they formed one of the most dynamic and productive of writing teams that English theatre has ever produced. In 1609, the two collaborated in earnest on Philaster. The play was performed by the King's Men at the Globe Theatre and at Blackfriars. It was a great success. Their careers were now well and truly launched and into the bargain they had ignited and captured a public taste for tragicomedy. There is an account that at the time the two men shared everything. They lived together in a house on the Bankside in Southwark, ' they also lived together in Bankside, sharing clothes and having 'one wench in the house between them.' Or as another account puts it 'sharing everything in the closest intimacy.'This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
