An Attic black-figure amphora (Type B) Attributed to Group E, circa 540 B.C.Side A with Herakles in combat with the Nemean lion, the hero depicted nude, Athena standing to the left wearing a high-crested helmet and a long peplos, holding a lance towards the hero, Iolaos standing to the right, wearing a Corinthian helmet and greaves, a long scythe in his hand, side B with a similar scene, with a band of linked lotus buds above each scene, a red band around the neck, another running beneath each scene and encircling the lower belly, a band of rays above the foot, details in added red, small holes on the neck for ancient repair, 42cm highFootnotes:Provenance:German art market.W. R. (1932-1991) collection, acquired in 1970s in Germany; and thence by inheritance to the H.-J. Gehrmann collection.with Galerie Günther Puhze, Freiburg (Kunst der Antike, Katalog 12, 1997, no. 182).Anonymous sale; Sotheby's, New York, 5 June 1999, lot 141.Anonymous sale; Sotheby's, New York, 14 June 2000, lot 54.Private collection, Switzerland, acquired at the above sale.Anonymous sale; Bonhams, London, 28 November 2017, lot 79.Private collection, USA.Beazley Archive no. 20477.Beazley identified the painters of Group E as 'a large and compact group which is very closely related to the work of the painter Exekias, though earlier...'E' alludes to the connection with Exekias; and group E is...the soil from which the art of Exekias springs' (J.D. Beazley in BSA, vol. 32, p. 3-4 as quoted in Attic Black-Figure Vase-Painters, New York, 1978, p. 133). Exekias, the 'flower' of Group E (ibid., p. 143), is the acknowledged master of the black-figure technique. The work of both Exekias and Group E is characterised by a preference for mythological subjects, a sense of monumentality, and the use of added red. Boardman notes that Beazley later came to think that most of the vases attributed to Group E are actually by one hand, and himself states 'the artist or artists deserve our attention and some respect, more than we may naturally accord an anonymous group, since their work leads not only to Exekias...but [also] more painters of the second half of the century follow the lead of this group and Exekias than of Lydos or the Amasis Painter' (J. Boardman, Athenian Black Figure Vases, London, 1974, p. 56-7).Slaying the Nemean lion was Herakles's first Labour. He was said to have stunned the beast with his famous club, before using his immense strength to strangle it. After vanquishing the lion, the hero tried to skin it with his knife, but failed. Eventually Athena, watching Herakles's plight, advised him to use one of the lion's own claws and the pelt was duly recovered. Herakles is often depicted wearing this lionskin, which is symbolic of his enormous strength and valour. Athena is shown as an onlooker on the present lot, along with Iolaos, Herakles's nephew and companion.Herakles' struggle with the Nemean lion was a favoured subject of Group E, though amphora with this scene on both sides are rare. For another Type B Group E amphora with Herakles, the Nemean lion, Athena and Iolaos on both sides, see Museo Gregoriano Etrusco Vaticano, Vatican City, no. 354, Beazley Archive no. 310379.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Private collection, London, acquired from the above 28 February 1980.For similar treatment of the ivy band, see Beazley Archive no. 340557, attributed to the Swing Painter.The ancient Greeks domesticated the horse around the 4th Millennium B.C. and they were quickly bred to take on a variety of tasks. To own a horse in ancient Greece was to be part of the second highest class in Greek society and gave the owner the privilege of joining the cavalry. The cavalry became an important part of the Greek military from the middle of the 5th Century B.C. onwards, with great pride being taken by the soldiers over the care and stock of their horses. Xenophon wrote two books on the importance of the horse to ancient Greeks: On Horsemanship and The Cavalry Commander (Hipparchikos).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Leaf from a Book of Hours, Use of Rome, with a notably realistic painting of a frog in the margin, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment [northern France (probably Rouen), c. 1470] Single leaf, with single column of 18 lines of angular late gothic bookhand, rubrics in deep burgundy-red, one-line initials in liquid gold on blue and burgundy-red grounds, line-fillers in panels of same or coloured circles or diamonds, decorated border panels of coloured acanthus leaves and other foliage on blank parchment decorated with tadpole-like penmarks, these within dull-gold frames, enclosing a knight in full armour with a shield with a human face and a large realistic green frog with bulging eyes, small spots and stains, overall in excellent condition, 180 by 118mm. Acquired from a private UK collector in 2015. Medieval European art was rarely realistic, and this is perhaps most noticeable when it came to depict animals. These often consciously follow stock models to represent different species or parts of them such as their faces, or reference verbal plays on their names, rather than attempt to depict their actual appearance, even when the artist and audience regularly came into contact with such animals. However, what we see here is a remarkable break from form, and the artist has attempted to closely capture the image of a frog, conveying its colouring, shape, posture, bone structure, bulging eyes and feet and toes. This is the most accurate representation of a frog known to the present cataloguer from any medieval manuscript. With the image on the other side we return to medieval form, and the knight here is in jousting armour, with a helmet known to the Early Modern world at least as a 'frog-mouth helm', perhaps nodding at the subject on the verso.

Chinese porcelain octagonal dish, decorated with famille rose and with the coat of arms of Feith and with four small arms. Part of Feith tableware, the coats of arms of the families Van Hardenbroek, Van Marlott (incorrectly referred to as Morlott), Cock and the Feith family themselves. The service was ordered by Gijsbert Jan Feith (1719-1775) who, in addition to his own weapons, had those of his (grand)parents depicted. His father Arnold Hendrik Feith, son of Peter Feith and Agneta Cock, was married to Anna Charlotte baroness van Hardenbroek, daughter of Gijsbert baron van Hardenbroek and Anna Maria baroness van Marlott. The Feith family originates from Elburg, where it has played a prominent role since the fifteenth century. Gijsbert Jan Feith left in 1737 as an under-merchant for Batavia, where he moved to Cochin on the west coast of India in 1741. From 1758 to 1761/62 he was back in his homeland, after which he settled permanently in the Indies. Here he was successively alderman of the Bataviasche Ommelanden, second and first merchant master of Batavia and bank commissioner. It is probably around 1763 that Feith ordered the service with his family crest. The green colored coat of arms consists of a shield with a prancing fungus that also crowns the helmet sign. The weapons depicted on the edges of the plates are interspersed with floral motifs. 25 cm diameter (hairlines and edge chips). Provenance collection Castle Frymerson in Sint Odiliënberg
