Adam, Robert--Kinross Ink and pen drawing, Adam office, of two aspects of Kinross Town and County House, captioned "West Front of the County House at Kinross, 1771" and "South Front of the County House at Kinross", with scale at foot, measurements marked in ink, 525 x 760mm., laid down on linen, edged in green silk, somewhat soiled and creased with several surface tears, small loss to scale at foot and to right hand edge of "South Front" drawing, in old metal scroll tube Note: A previously unrecorded architectural drawing from the "Adam office". Robert Adam was involved only with the redesign of the narrow south front of the pre-existing county house in Kinross where he added a three-storey three-bay bowed extension with a conical roof, decorating the new south front at his own expense, as is recorded in a large plaque which occupies the central bay of the top floor: "This County House was repaired by the Crown, A.D. 1771. Robert Adam of this shire decorated this front at his own expense" . It has four Tuscan pilasters which run through the first and second floors and has niches instead of windows in the end bays of the first floor. David King notes "No drawings survive". This drawing would appear therefore to be the only surviving drawing of the County House and although not in Robert's hand there is little doubt that as Robert was both designing and paying for the addition to the County House in the constituency he then represented, that he must have approved the current drawing which would have been based on a preliminary drawing of his own, now lost.

SIR ALFRED GILBERT: A bronze of "Comedy and Tragedy": "Sic Vita", the bronze 27" high, on a circular serpentine base, 303/4" high overall including the base. Provenance: The Collection of J.P. Heseltine Esq. Acquired by Robert Worthington, Esq. OBE, FRCS of Exeter, Devon, from Gooden and Fox in February 1931 for £100 (the original invoice included with this lot). Worthington was a prolific collector and the purchase is also recorded in his notebook. Literature: The Easter Art Annual, 1903 Sir Alfred Gilbert spoke of "Comedy and Tragedy" as "The climax to my cycle of stories". In one sense it is autobiographical, the commentary on Gilbert's state of mind at the time of its' creation: mounting debt, difficulties with patrons and a sick wife forced him to live with continual anxiety, though what the world saw was a supremely successful sculptor and social figure publicly moving from one triumph to another. The stature shows a stage-prop boy running with the mask of Comedy in his hands at the moment he is stung by a bee. From one side, the statue is dominated by the comic mask; from the other the boy's expression forms a tragic mask. The statue needs to be seen in-the-round to appreciate the twisting of the angular muscular form into a complex and artificial pose. The title for the bronze comes from W.S. Gilbert's one-act play "Comedy and Tragedy", which was staged in a revival at the Lyceum with Gilbert's friend, the American actress Mary Anderson, in the leading role. A pen and ink sketch "Comedy and Tragedy" (first idea) "December III 90 Alfred Gilbert" shows a winged putto leaping to avoid an arrow shot at his right leg. Gilbert was just beginning to think about the figure of Eros for the Shaftesbury Memorial at this date, so the arrow in the drawing may be identified as the one Eros has just shot from his bow. The model for Eros, Angelo Colorossi, recalled that before posing for that statue he had posed for "Comedy and Tragedy". The latter was begun on 2nd February 1891 and advanced throughout the month. Gilbert noted in May of that year that he had worked on the top of the Shaftesbury Memorial, so Eros followed immediately upon Comedy and Tragedy (Alfred Gilbert, Royal Academy of Arts 1986 - The Great Bronzes 1881-1892). This lot is sold with Robert Worthington's personal copy of "Alfred Gilbert" by Isabel McAllister, published London 1929 and the original of sale dated 16th February, 1931.

Francis Danby, ARA (1793-1861) THE AVON GORGE FROM THE STOP GATE BELOW SEA WALLS signed, pen, pencil, ink and watercolour, 30.5 x 44.5cm Exhibited: Bristol Art Gallery, January 1906, No 9. Provenance: Sir Marchant Williams, Bt; his sale, Christie's 3 December 1906, part of lot 48 ( as Gorge of the Avon with St Vincent's Rocks and View from Durdham Downs) 18gns to Davis; thence by decent to the present vendor. The Avon Gorge from the Stop Gate below Sea Walls was painted c1815, soon after Danby's arrival at Bristol. In such early Bristol drawings as this, Danby exploits the picturesque properties of the rugged scenery of the Avon Gorge. Immediately beyond the gate are the moored quarry vessels and in the distance, beyond St Vincent's Rocks, may be seen the ruined windmill that was later to become an observatory. Another watercolour which may be dated c1818, taken from precisely the same viewpoint has been described as the most perfectly preserved of his earlier Bristol drawings. The present drawing, 'lost' since its sale in 1906, is one of the series of six lent by Sir Marchant Williams to the Third Loan Exhibition at Bristol Art Gallery in 1906, shortly before that sale at Christie's. The five other drawings, two of which were exhibited at the Tate Gallery and Bristol in 1988 were views of The Avon from Durdham Down with Cook's Folly (Sotheby's, 19 March 1981, lot 122), St Vincent's Rocks and the Avon Gorge (Collection of M & S Feld) Hotwells in the Avon Gorge, Blaise Castle and The Mouth of the Avon with Penpole Point (all private collections) See Greenacre (F), Francis Danby 1793-1861, Tate Gallery and City of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, Exhibition Catalogue 1988, Nos 66-67 & 71. ++Undisturbed in 19th c giltwood and gilt composition cavetto frame; some fading/time staining
