His own characteristic combination of the serious and frolicsome, noted by David Jones … was very much part of his Victorian inheritance. He shared his father’s fascination for the mechanical world as well as the spiritual. They both loved a contraption: a telescope; a microscope; the mirrorscope which so delighted Gill’s own children’ (p. 20).Provenance: Property of an English collector.

Blattmaße von 24,5 x 33 cm bis 43,5 x 79,5 cm.

Das Gebäude im klassizistischen Stil wurde 1809 von ihm errichtet und brannte 1879 nieder. Eine weitere Zeichnung mit späterer hs. Bezeichnung in Graphit in italienischer Sprache: "Orangerie della casa Vorouzof". Gemeint ist wohl der Woronzow-Palast, ebenfalls in Odessa. Die prächtigste Zeichnung der Sammlung zeigt die nördliche Fassade des Alexanderpalastes in Zarskoje Selo (heutige Stadt Puschkin), der von Katharina der Großen für ihren Enkel und zukünftigen Kaiser Alexander I. zu dessen Hochzeit mit Louise von Baden in direkter Nachbarschaft zum Katharinenpalast erbaut wurde.

Prachtvoller dunkelroter Samteinband mit einer unter Glas und in goldenem Rahmen eingefasster Malerei sowie einer aufgelegten reich verzierten Bordüre mit 4 Miniatur-Hinterglas-Malereien. Dreis. Goldschnitt, goldene Schließe und Vorsätze aus Moiré-Seide. In einer mit Moiré-Seide ausstaffierten Ldr.-Kiste d. Zt. (Diese berieben und mit Defekten. Einband an den vorderen Gelenken etwas angeplatzt.) Das überaus prachtvolle Liber Amicorum ist auf dem Vorderdeckel mit künstlerisch hochinteressanten und feinen Malereien ausstaffiert: vier Hinterglas-Malereien mit Darstellungen von Schiffen und eine exquisite Scène galante im Stil des französischen Rokoko. Die erste Seite des Albums ist geziert von einer prächtigen in Gold und Silber gehöhten Original-Zeichnung mit dem Wappen der Familie Borchgrave d'Altena. Dabei handelt es sich um eine belgische Adelsfamilie aus Lüttich, die ursprünglich aus dem Herzogtum Brabant (Bois-le-Duc) stammt. Sie erhielt 1745 von Maximilian III. Joseph Kurfürst von Bayern und Vikar des Hl. Römischen Reiches den Titel des Reichsgrafen und wurde 1816 von König Wilhelm I. der Niederlande in den Adelsstand aufgenommen. Das Album vereint neben Zeichnungen verschiedener Familienmitglieder, u.a. Sophie und Gustave de Borchgrave d'Altena, auch bekanntere Künstler wie Francois Charette-Duval (1807-1895), Frans Keelhoff (1820-1891) oder Arthur du Passage (1838-1909). Weitere signierte Einträge stammen u.a. von Charles de Blanckart, L. Movignez, Pierre Pirgnet, Anatole d'Arschot, Gustave de Woelmont, Mathilde de Boch und Léon de Chasseval. Das Album deckt mit seinen Zeichnungen eine Vielzahl von Genres und Techniken ab, neben Aquarellen mit Blumen oder in Graphit, Kohle und Feder gezeichneten Landschaften finden sich auch Stadtansichten aus Brüssel sowie von Schlössern (u.a. Château de Leschy und de La Buissière) aber auch Schiffszeichnungen. Hervorzuheben sind jedoch vor allem fünf farbleuchentende Gouachen, die süditalienische Landschaften zeigen, insbesondere drei Ansichten des Vesuvs, darunter zwei bei Ausbruch des Vulkans. Ein weiterer Glanzpunkt des Albums stellt ein großformatiges Trompe-l'Oeil mit Zeichen- und Schreibinstrumenten dar, welches nicht signiert jedoch von hohem künstlerischen Interesse ist. Ferner beinhaltet sind zwei Gouachen auf chinesischem Markpapier. - Insbesondere die Graphiken teils etwas gebräunt bzw. braunfleckig. Die Scène galante auf dem VDeckel mit Braunfleck. Die Original-Zeichnungen größtenteils in sehr gutem Zustand. Important Album Amicorum of the noble family Borchgrave d'Altena. With over 60 original drawings. Circa 1850. Oblong-folio. Splendid dark red velvet binding with a painting set under glass and in a golden frame as well as an applied richly decorated border with 4 miniature reverse paintings on glass. Triple gilt edges, gilt clasp and endpapers of moiré silk. In a leather case decorated with moiré silk (The latter rubbed and with defects. Binding somewhat chipped at the front joints). - The extremely splendid Album Amicorum is decorated on the front cover with artistically highly interesting and fine paintings: four reverse glass paintings depicting ships and an exquisite scène galante in the style of the French rococo. The first page of the album is adorned with a magnificent original drawing heightened in gold and silver with the coat of arms of the Borchgrave d'Altena family. This is a Belgian noble family from Liège, originally from the Duchy of Brabant (Bois-le-Duc). The album contains drawings by various members of the family, including Sophie and Gustave de Borchgrave d'Altena, as well as more famous artists such as Francois Charette-Duval (1807-1895), Frans Keelhoff (1820-1891) and Arthur du Passage (1838-1909). Other signed entries are by Charles de Blanckart, L. Movignez, Pierre Pirgnet, Anatole d'Arschot, Gustave de Woelmont, Mathilde de Boch and Léon de Chasseval, among others. The album's drawings cover a wide range of genres and techniques; in addition to watercolours with flowers or landscapes drawn in graphite, charcoal and pen and ink, there are also city views of Brussels and of castles (including Château de Leschy and de La Buissière), but also ship drawings. Of particular note, however, are five colour-illuminated gouaches depicting southern Italian landscapes, especially three views of Mount Vesuvius, including two of the volcano erupting. Another highlight of the album is a large-format trompe-l'oeil with drawing and writing instruments, which is unsigned but of great artistic interest. Also included are two gouaches on Chinese plith paper. - Especially the prints partly somewhat browned and brown-stained. The scène galante on the front cover with brown stain. The original drawings mostly in very good condition.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (British, 1828-1882)Cartoon for a stained-glass window showing The Sermon on the Mount, made for All Saints, Selsley pen and ink and wash62.5 x 48.5cm (24 5/8 x 19 1/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceGiven by the artist to Algernon Charles Swinburne.Theodore Watts-Dunton (at the death of the above in 1909); to his wife, Clara Reich, at his death in 1914.Thomas James Wise (gifted by the above); to his brother, Herbert Athal Wise, at his death in 1937; to his son, Leslie George Wise, of Durban, South Africa, at his death in 1951.Thence by descent to the present private collection, South Africa.ExhibitedSouth Africa, University of Natal, Old Masters of Yesteryear.The architect G.F. Bodley entrusted the making of stained glass for the church of All Saints at Selsley in Gloucestershire to Morris and Philip Webb. They in turn recruited Rossetti, who was asked to make a series of designs for glass in the chancel as well as for the glass to which the present cartoon is related, showing The Sermon on the Mount, in the church's south aisle. Others who were brought in on the project were Ford Madox Brown and Edward Burne-Jones. This was the first scheme of stained glass to be made by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., and was an important demonstration of how well these various designers could work together to create an effect of harmonious unity. For images and description of the completed scheme, see A. Charles Sewter, The Stained Glass of William Morris and his Circle, New Haven, 1974, two volumes, I, ills 33-6; II, pp. 171-3.In the present cartoon, as in the completed window, the standing figure of Christ is seen with hands raised as he preaches. Seated on the left of Christ, and to whom he faces, are the figures of the Virgin and Mary Magdalene, and behind them Saints John and James, while on the right, and to whom Christ turns his back, appear St Peter and Judas Iscariot. In the drawing, each of these figures is identified in capital letters within their haloes. Friends of the artist and family members modelled for the figures: Elizabeth Siddal may be recognised as having sat for the Virgin; Fanny Cornforth is immediately recognisable as the model for the Magdalene; the poet Algernon Swinburne appears as St John, and the painter Simeon Solomon for St James; George Meredith was supposedly the model for the figure of Christ; William Morris was caricatured with tousled hair and dense black beard as St Peter; while behind him the loathed art dealer Ernest Gambart, with whom Rossetti was at the time at odds in connection with his outstanding debt to the executors of Thomas Plint, was insultingly shown as Judas, his head resting on his hand as if in devious or angry pattern of thought, and facing away from Christ as if deliberately ignoring the words that were being spoken.Rossetti made two other preparatory drawings for the subject in c. 1861, now in Leeds City Art Gallery (Surtees 142a) and William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow (Surtees 142). The present drawing, of which neither Virginia Surtees and A. Charles Sewter were aware, appears to have been the final cartoon from which the stained-glass makers were to work.The design was reused in 1864 to provide a memorial window to a Miss Polidori (presumably a relation of Rossetti's mother Frances, née Polidori) in Christ Church, Albany Street.We are grateful to Christopher Newall for compiling this catalogue entry.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

Alexandre Nikolayevich Benois (1870-1960), Costume design for Nutcracker: 'Danse Orientale, Le Cafe I' with annotations, 1952, Black ink and watercolour over pencil, Signed 'Alexandre Benois' and dated '1952', 23cm x 15cm, (ARR) Provenance Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd, London Footnote For similar design see Victoria & Albert Museum 'Design for the Nutcracker, in Nutcracker' by Alexandre Benois dated 1957. This drawing was made for the production of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker first performed on 24 December by the Festival Ballet at the Royal Festival Hall, London. Alexandre Nikolayevich Benois was a significant figure in the Russian artistic scene of the early 20th century, working alongside Sergei Diaghilev and Leon Bakst to produce the magazine Mir iskusstva and its corresponding artistic movement, which sought to promote Art Nouveau within Russia. Yet it was as a designer for the Ballet Russes, under Diaghilev, for which Benois is probably best known. The present pieces, as costume designs, are therefore particularly compelling, serving as examples of Benois's most recognisable work.This work is in wooden gilded frame with a cream mount, there is some paint loss and scuff marks to the frame. The piece has not been examined out of the frame, it may or may not be stuck down. It is evident the page is creased in areas and there are marks to the surface. The page is slightly yellowed, which is what one would expect with a piece of this age. Overall this piece is in good condition.

JOAN PONÇ BONET (Barcelona, 1927 - Saint-Paul, France, 1984)."Untitled", 1976.Drawing for Luis Goytisolo's book "Eyes, circles, owls".Ink and felt-tip pen on paper.Signed and dated on the back.Frame with faults.Measurements: 20.5 x 13 cm; 49.5 x 39 cm (frame).Painter and draughtsman, he trained in Barcelona, in the workshop of Ramón Rogent and at the Academy of Plastic Arts with Ángel López-Obrero. After devoting himself to painting and drawing in anonymity, he held his first individual exhibition in 1946, at the Galería Arte in Bilbao, which was to be his definitive establishment on the national art scene. In 1948, together with Tharrats, Puig, Cuixart, Tàpies and Brossa, among others, he founded the avant-garde group Dau al Set. Selected by Eugenio D'Ors, he took part in the Salón de los Once in Madrid in 1951 and 1952. In 1952 he took part in the Hispano-American Biennial, and the following year he spent some time in Paris, where he met Joan Miró and managed to exhibit at the Musée de la Villa. On the latter's recommendation, Ponç gained access to Brazilian artistic circles, settling in São Paulo from 1953 to 1962. In 1954, the year of the dissolution of Dau al Set, he held an exhibition at the city's Museum of Modern Art, which was so successful that the organisation acquired all his works. In Brazil he visited the equatorial jungles, where he was impressed by their fauna, especially insects, which he incorporated into his imagery. In 1955 he founded the Taüll group with Marc Aleu, Modest Cuixart, Jaume Guinovart, Jaume Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats. After returning to Catalonia due to illness, as a fully established artist he shows his work in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Bonn, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Antibes and various Spanish cities. In 1965 he won the International Grand Prize for Drawing at the São Paulo Biennial. Ponç's paintings present phantasmagoric images that are both painful and tortured, in which the subconscious is the protagonist. For the painter, art is nothing more than an introduction to the mystery and secrets of the spirit. More of a draughtsman than a painter, his work is extremely detailed and meticulous. Ponç's production can be divided into six periods: the Dau al Set period (1947), the Brazilian period (1958), the metaphysical-geometric period (1969), the period of the metaphysical characters (1970), the acupainting period (1971) and a final period of synthesis (1972). He is currently represented at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de São Paulo, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo in Vitoria, the Museo de L'Empordà and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989)."Dancer. 1973.Ink drawing on inside page of the signature book of the hall of La Paloma, Barcelona.Authenticity certified by the Dalí Foundation in Figueres.Signed and dated at the bottom.Measurements: 28 x 20 cm.Original drawing by Salvador Dalí, dated 1973, of the legendary La Paloma nightclub, located in the Raval district of Barcelona. Dalí spent long hours sitting in one of the boxes, taking notes of the dancers. This unique testimony remains, one of his drawings sketched directly in one of the hall's signature books, together with period photographs of the Modernista-inspired interior.Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly one of the most important artistic personalities of the 20th century. During his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who travelled regularly to Paris. Following Pichot's advice, Dalí began to study painting with Juan Núñez. In 1922, Dalí stayed at the famous Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid to begin studying Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy. However, before his final exams in 1926, he was expelled for claiming that there was no one there fit to examine him. That same year Dalí travelled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established certain formal characteristics that would become distinctive of all his work from then on. His language absorbed the influences of many artistic styles, from classical academicism to the most groundbreaking avant-garde. At that time, the painter grew an eye-catching moustache that imitated Velázquez's and would become his personal hallmark for the rest of his life. In 1929, Dalí collaborated with Luis Buñuel in the making of "An Andalusian Dog", which showed scenes typical of the surrealist imaginary. In August of the same year he met his muse and future wife Gala. During this period Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the Surrealist group based in the Montparnasse district of Paris. His work greatly influenced the direction of Surrealism for the next two years, and he was acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, which was said to help access the subconscious by releasing creative artistic energies. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to the art dealer Julian Levy. Following his first solo exhibition in New York his international reputation was definitively consolidated, and from then on he showed his work and gave lectures all over the world. Most of his production is housed in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) and the Dalí Universe in London.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989)."Two Sailors", ca.1925.Pencil, graphite and blue pencil on paper.Attached certificate issued by Archives Descharnes (20/06/2022).Attached notary's note from Salvador Dalí Cusí, the artist's father.Signed in ink in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 22.1 x 15.9 cm.Drawing from Salvador Dalí's youth, probably done during his student period in the mid-1920s. The theme of sailors interested the avant-garde artists, as allegories of wandering souls, of bohemia, wandering from port to port, bearers of fleeting loves. Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly one of the most important artistic personalities of the 20th century. In his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who travelled regularly to Paris.
