Prof. Dr. h.c. Albin Egger-Lienz, “Die Quelle"Darstellung eines ärmlich gekleideten Tiroler Bauern in lichter Sommerlandschaft liegend, seinen Durst an einer kleinen Quelle stillend, pastose Genremalerei mit breitem Pinselduktus in zurückhaltender Farbigkeit, das gut erhaltene Gemälde ist unrestauriert und wurde neuzeitlich gerahmt, lichte Rahmenmaße ca. 32 x 47 cm,das vorliegende Motiv “Die Quelle” entspringt eben jener von Dr. Hammer beschriebenen Spätphase und schien den Künstler ab 1923 nachhaltig zu beschäftigen, so verzeichnet das Werksverzeichnis von Wilfried Kirschl im Band II, auf den Seiten 569-570 unter den Nummern M590 bis M603 allein 13 Fassungen unterschiedlicher Größe und Ausführung des vorliegenden Motivs, weitere Varianten der “Quelle” kamen in den zurückliegenden Jahren auf dem Auktionsmarkt zum Ausruf und erfreuten sich regen Interesses, allen gemein ist die gespiegelte Wiedergabe der hier vorliegenden Szene, Egger-Lienz zeigt in dieser scheinbar flott skizzierten, in seiner Verknappung der Details an Skulpturen Constantin Meuniers erinnernden Szene einen Mann unbekannten Alters, bäuchlings auf karger Wiese liegend, seine schlichte Kleidung aus Holzpantinen, Hose, Hemd und Hut verorten ihn im bäuerlichen Milieu, die Wiese auf der er liegt, ist in der Sonne verdorrt, nur ein kleiner Quell im ausgemergelten Boden verspricht Labung und Leben, die Figur erscheint nicht nur physisch, sondern auch ideell dieser seiner Heimatscholle besonders nah und nimmt auch die Mühsal eben jener unbequemen, gar demütigen Haltung auf sich, um an das kostbare Nass zu gelangen, sie steht somit emblematisch für das harte, schlichte, entbehrungsreiche Leben der ländlichen Bevölkerung, der sich Egger-Lienz zeitlebens verbunden und verpflichtet sah, aus der Sicht des im Überfluss Lebenden wird diese Szene unverständlich bleiben - sie erschließt sich nur dem, der wie Egger-Lienz im Ersten Weltkrieg die Not ständig vor Augen hatte, als sogar vermeintliche Selbstverständlichkeiten Luxus waren, Egger-Lienz huldigt in seinem Gemälde nicht nur dem schlichten Bauernstand, sondern vielmehr auch der, neben dem Wasser, alles Leben spendenden heimatlichen Scholle, wenn Dr. Josef Garber ein Jahr vor Entstehung unseres Gemäldes in der Zeitschrift “Schlern” vom 01.06.1923 schrieb “... Dabei wird der Bauer allerdings mehr als zu einer zufälligen Erscheinung im gesellschaftlichen Leben. Egger verkörpert in ihm den Menschen überhaupt. Seine Bauern werden die Träger jener unmittelbaren Zusammenhänge der Menschheit mit Gott und der Natur, die diese Menschenklasse in ihrem gott- und naturnahem Dasein zwanglos zum Symbol der ewigen Gesetze des Werdens, Seins und Vergehens prägt. ...”, so nahm er die Quintessenz vorliegenden Motives dezidiert vorweg, das vorliegende Gemälde entstand wenige Monate vor dem überraschend frühen Tod des Künstlers und kann gleichsam als Mahnung zur Ehrfurcht vor der Natur und Vermächtnis betrachtet werden, Öl auf Platte, links unten betitelt “Die Quelle” und rechts unten signiert und datiert “Egger-Lienz [19]24”, so eindringlich das Motiv ist - so tragisch stellt sich auch die mit dem Gemälde verbundene Provenienz des Werkes dar, das Gemälde stammt aus dem Besitz der Franzi Grundtner (eigentlich Franziska, geboren am 25.12.1889 in Peuerbach), die junge Frau und der akademische Maler Rudi Grundtner heirateten am 26.01.1914 in Sarntheim, beide schätzten zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits den Maler Albin Egger-Lienz, wie aus beigegebener Originalkorrespondenz hervorgeht, luden sowohl Braut als auch Bräutigam den Maler zu ihrer Hochzeit ein, Egger-Lienz konnte, wie er in zwei Schreiben mitteilte, der Einladung nicht nachkommen, in der Folge entspann sich ein sehr persönlicher Briefwechsel von Franzi Grundtner mit der Ehefrau Laura Egger-Lienz (11.06. 1877 Wien bis 22.10.1967 Wien), so gibt der Briefwechsel auch darüber Auskunft, dass nach Geburt der Tochter Hertha der Vater und Ehemann Rudi Grundtner seine zu diesem Zeitpunkt im thüringischen Ilmenau ansässige Familie in Stich ließ und unbekannt verzog, im Briefwechsel beklagt Frau Grundtner ihre schwierige Situation und ersucht Frau Egger-Lienz danach ihr, soweit bekannt, die neue Anschrift ihres Ehemannes zukommen zu lassen - was schließlich auch geschah, auch der - offensichtlich noch mit Rudi Grundtner verkehrende Albin Egger-Lienz ließ sein Mitgefühl für Franzis Schicksal über seine Frau Laura bestellen, so schreibt diese in einem Brief vom 3.01.1925 “Sehr geehrte Frau Grundtner! ... Mir tut es von Herzen leid, Sie leidend und in so traurigen Verhältnissen zu wissen und auch mein Mann möchte Ihnen so gerne ein wenig behilflich sein, aus diesem Grunde sendet er mit gleicher Post eine kleine Skizze von seiner Hand an Sie ab, in der Hoffnung, daß sie dieselbe vielleicht an irgend eine Persönlichkeit (Arzt, Fabrikant oder dergl.) aus Ihren Umgangskreisen verkaufen könnten und Ihnen daraus vielleicht eine kleine materielle Hilfe werden könnte; mein Mann meint Sie sollten für die Arbeit etwa 200 Goldmark verlangen. ... Ihre Laura Egger-Lienz”, tatsächlich findet sich im beigegebenen Nachlasskonvolut auch ein Packpapierfragment, welches von Albin Egger-Lienz an “Franziska Grundtner, Ilmenau in Thüringen, Topfmarkt 12/1” adressiert und am 7.01.1925 in Bozen abgestempelt wurde.Der in unterschiedlichen Zuständen vorliegende Nachlass besteht je aus einer Visitenkarte von Laura und Albin Egger-Lienz, einem Zeitungsausschnitt der “Münchner Illustrierten Presse” und der “Deutschen Illustrierten” mit Beiträgen zum Tod des Künstlers, einer Kopie der Todesannonce von Albin Egger-Lienz, einer Kopie von Fotos, der Verheiratungsanzeige des Ehepaar Grundtner und Dokumenten von Franziska Grundtner, darüber hinaus fünf Fotos des Ehemanns mit Automobilen sowie 20 Briefen und Karten meist von Laura Egger-Lienz.

Thomas Luny (St Ewe 1759-1837 Teignmouth)The East Indiaman Belvedere in three positions off Portsmouth, the central image showing her heaving-to and awaiting the arrival of a pilot signed and dated 'T.LUNY 1801' (lower left) oil on canvas 86.3 x 147.3cm (34 x 58in).Footnotes:The Belvedere was a handsome full-rigged East Indiaman built by Crookenden & Taylor at Itchenor, Chichester, for Mr. Edward Fiott. Measured by her builder at 987 tons, she was 112 feet in length with a 39 foot beam, and was launched on 18th April 1787 with the distinction of being one of the first vessels in the entire East India Company's fleet to have her hull coppered below the water-line. On 9th June [1787], under the command of Captain William Greer, she sailed from Portsmouth, bound for China (direct), and although she was home safely in the Downs on 19th September 1788, the voyage was not without incident and had included a crew mutiny when the vessel was lying at Whampoa. Over the next ten years, during which she was sold to a new owner, Samuel Bonham, she made a further four round trips either to India or China until resold again to Mr. Charles Christie in 1800. Under a new master, Captain James Peter Fearon, Belvedere only undertook one more round trip to China after departing Portsmouth on 19th May 1801. Safely back at her moorings in home waters on 17th September 1802, she was then put into the West India trade in 1803. Time and tide had taken their toll on her however, and her registry was cancelled on 29th August 1805 followed by her demolition.This portrait, with its date of 1801 confirmed in Luny's stock book, was almost certainly commissioned by Mr. Charles Christie, Belvedere's new owner, to mark her maiden departure from Portsmouth under his colours.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

Chinese School, late 19th CenturyMacau oil on canvas45.7 x 78.1cm (18 x 30 3/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Paul Mason Gallery, London.Acquired from the above at the Grosvenor House Antiques Fair, London, by the present owner in 1987.Macau is the oldest European settlement in China, having been leased to the Portuguese in the sixteenth century as a reward for their assistance tackling piracy in the surrounding waters. With the introduction of the Canton System in 1757 and the subsequent limiting of Chinese trade with the West until the close of the First Opium War in 1842, Macau took on an increasingly important role in trade with China. The combination of Western influence and the wealth of the city can be seen in the elegant European architecture along the distinctive curved promenade of the Praya Grande. Perhaps most distinctive in this view is the number of Catholic churches that can be made out on the skyline, with what appears to be the churches of St Laurence, St Joseph's, St Dominic's and St Paul's, along with the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady. The Fortaleza do Monte is prominently placed on the hilltop to the right of the scene, whilst Our Lady of Penha Church is placed atop Penha Hill to the left.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
Montague Dawson (British, 1890-1973)Smugglers' Baysigned 'MONTAGUE DAWSON' (lower left) oil on canvas 101.6 x 127cm (40 x 50in).painted in 1971.Footnotes:This work was published as a signed artist's limited edition print under the title of 'Pieces of Eight' (Venture Prints Ltd, 1971, edition of 500).ProvenanceWith Frost & Reed, London, no. 46509 (acquired directly from the artist 26 January 1971).Harry W Bass Jr, Texas (acquired from the above 21 July 1971).With W.J. Morpill Ltd., Dallas, Texas.This impressive work belongs to Dawson's much sought-after Caribbean and Pacific Island series of paintings, of which a small number have come to auction in recent years. These works are unique in that they run contrary to Dawson's primary reputation for depictions of the elegant commercial sailing ships of the 19th century, the high-octane world of yacht racing in the early/mid-20th century and the military craft of the war years, himself having served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. This series offer an insight into the excitement that the artist took from all aspects of the nautical world, not just the historical past and the present, but also folklore and the tales associated with the 17th century heyday of buccaneers patrolling Caribbean and Pacific waters. Stories of this nature would have been brought to the fore of one's imagination during Dawson's lifetime through the popularisation of the subject in cinema. The present work is the only moonlit example from this series, with others being in the intense glare of the midday sun. The moonlight provides the perfect setting for the pirates' clandestine activities; as we can see, their booty is being brought ashore, inspected, and prepared for stashing. Although we cannot be certain of the location, we do know that Dawson painted both the Cocos Island and Gorgona Island in this series and it therefore seems plausible that this treasure is being buried in one of these locations. The Cocos Island being the centre of the greatest deal of speculation and excitement during the period, with rumours of vast hoards of treasure having been buried here and never found.The present work was published as a signed limited-edition print under the title of 'Pieces of Eight' (Venture Prints Ltd, 1971, edition of 500). The title of the print conjures images of Robert Louis Stephenson's 'Treasure Island' and the main protagonist Long John Silver and his parrot, Captain Flint. Captain Flint being remembered for the repetition of the phrase 'Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!' – this being a reference to the Spanish silver dollar which would often be cut into eight pieces in order that change could be provided.It is clear that this was a significant work to the artist. The scale is grand, and the level of finish is exceptionally high. The glow emulating from the party's lanterns, and reflection from those situated on their ship in the bay, have been expertly crafted to create an ambience of both serenity and excitement. We know that Dawson visited the Pacific and Caribbean on a number of occasions, and it is therefore very likely that the depiction of the topography and flora are based on first-hand accounts and sketches. Leonard Ramsey's acclaimed book on Dawson gives a description of the artist's handling of his subjects, a description that can certainly be applied to this work:'His brushwork, though free, is never careless and his colours are graded with discipline and restraint. This all contributes to the feeling of spaciousness and harmony which is the mark of a Montague Dawson'[1][1] L.G.G Ramsey, Montague Dawson R.S.M.A., F.R.S.A., Leigh-on-Sea, 1967, p. 16.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
