Utagawa Kuniyoshi [1798-1861], an oban tate-e portrait of the famous Emperor Go-Daigo loyalist, Kusunoki Masashige from the Warrior series Meiko Hyaku Yuden; published by Izumiya IchibeiCompare another example of this print in the British Museum, No. 2008.3037.15307Kusunoki Masashige [1294-1336] found fame as a loyal defender of the Emperor Go-Daigo during the tumultuous years of the Nanbokucho period in the 14th Century. Masahige's opposition to the power of the Ashikaga Shoguns found fertile ground during the Meiji Restoration, and a huge, bronze equestrian figure of him was placed close to Tokyo's Babasaki Gate in 1900 ['Meiji Revisited'/The sites of Victorian Japan' by Dallas Finn/page 162 refers]. Kuniyoshi's design with a compass and globe is interesting; Henri Joly mentions a netsuke of Kusunoki in the Gilbertson Collection, carved with Kusunoki holding a Mariner's compass ['Legend in Japanese Art'/page 309, refers]. Although there was a significant market for Kuniyoshi's historical portraits, the Bakufu were highly sensitive regarding images that could be interpreted as critical of the Tokugawa regime. Kuniyoshi's triptych of Raiko and the Earth Spider, for instance, precipitated a confrontation with the Bakufu censors, and Kuniyoshi was forced to destroy the offending blocks in order to avoid further trouble [Source: page 114 of 'Japanese Prints/Ukiyo-e in Edo, 1700-1900' by Ellis Tinios, British Museum Press, 2010.]Condition Report: Left hand side visibly trimmed.

Attributed to Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, called il Guercino (1591-1666) Saint Peter with his keys and a booknumbered in pencil '39' (lower left)inscribed in later hand 'From Gainsborough Collection / Guercino Saint with a Book' (to the mount)pen and brown ink on paper 13 x 18.5cmProvenance: By repute acquired from the artist's collection, Casa Gennari, Bologna;According to a later inscription, The Earls of Gainsborough Collection;Private Collection, LondonThe pose of Saint Peter in the present lot appears to be based on that of God the Father with winged angel supporting the globe which Guercino painted in 1620 and which is now in the Palazzo Rosso, Genoa. The head of the present figure also closely resembles, in reverse, that of Saint Joseph in the pen and ink drawing, The Holy Family with Saints John the Baptist and Anne (see Denis Mahon and Nicholas Turner, The Drawings of Guercino in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, 1989, cat. no. 15) which can be dated from an engraving by G B Pasqualini after this subject to circa 1621. The number '39' in the lower left corner might possibly relate to the numbers which were applied to drawings originating from the John Bouverie Collection at the instruction of the 1st Earl of Gainsborough.

No visible sign of restoration under UV light. Light wear throughout; dust collected as expected. The sculpture is firmly attached to the base.
