Jamini Roy (1887-1972) Blue Nude signed in Bengali (lower right) tempera on canvas 59 x 40.5cm Provenance: Acquired by Humphry House in Calcutta, 1936 Thence by descent within the family Born in Beliatore, Bengal, Jamini Roy was an Indian artist whose work fused tradition with modernity, drawing inspiration from folk art to create a unique visual language. He is today celebrated as one of the most significant and diverse modernists of Indian art.Roy received his early training at the Government College of Art, Kolkata, where he followed a Western inspired syllabus. After obtaining his diploma in 1916, he began a career as a portraitist. From 1920, however, amidst a surge in nationalism, Roy dramatically abandoned his early academic style in favour of a more indigenous approach, influenced by the flat colours, graphic lines and stylised forms of Kalighat Patua art. Synthesising elements of traditional folk art with his own artistic sensibilities, Roy created a visual language that was both accessible and profound.During the early 1920s, working in what he called his ‘flat-technique’, Roy’s subjects were mostly women from the nearby Santal tribe. From the mid-1920s, he began creating his calligraphic works which depicted scenes of every day life, including seated figures, crawling infants and local wildlife. Although he is perhaps best-known for these works, Roy also included mythological figures and religious iconography amongst his diverse cast of subjects and motifs.Throughout his career, Roy remained steadfast in his commitment to democratising art. Rejecting elitism and championing accessibility, he believed that the transformative power of art to uplift and inspire should be available for all, across class and cultural barriers. Not only were his subjects largely plucked from the everyday, but by the end of the 1920s, he abandoned the European convention of oils and began making his own mineral and vegetable pigments from local sources.Highly decorated, in 1934 Roy received a Viceroy's gold medal and in 1955 was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the Indian Government - the third highest award a civilian can be granted. In 1956, he was made the second Fellow of the Lalit Kala Akademi - the highest honour in the fine arts conferred by the Lalit Kala Akademi, India's National Academy of Art, Government of India. Today, Roy's legacy lives on through his artworks which continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, celebrating India's rich cultural heritage and the universal language of art. Not examined out of the frame, the outermost edges areas are obscured by the frame so not available for inspection. The painted canvas demonstrates some undulation throughout which should be corrected by reframing. There is some light debris trapped beneath the glass, which has settled along the lower edges. Each corner shows some fine craquelure with some very negligible losses. Along the lower edge there is a very faint and fine abrasion resulting in negligible paint loss. Under UV the work does not suggest that there has been any overpainting, though the lower left quadrant and a small circular speck in the sitter's hair implies some bacterial growth. See additional images.
Lot 417
Eqbal Mehdi (1946-2008) The Young Bride signed 'EqbalMEhdi' (lower right) ink over pencil 64.5 x 49.5cm Pakistani artist, Eqbal Mehdi, has received widespread acclaim for his pen and ink drawings of subjects including street scenes, horses, and, as demonstrated by the present lot, portraits. Born to a family of poets and filmmakers, Mehdi began drawing at eight years old and received no formal instruction throughout his career. Although his work is largely focused on everyday life in Pakistan, Mehdi cited Rembrandt and Andrew Wyeth as notable influences.Demonstrating a Rembrandt-inspired use of shadow and light, the present work is an excellent example of Mehdi's oeuvre, both in subject and execution.

NO RESERVEA CHINESE SPINACH-GREEN JADE RUYI SCEPTRE QING DYNASTY The head carved as a large flat lingzhi decorated with a trailing lotus in low relief, the shaft carved with further flowering lotus stems, the stone mottled with light inclusions throughout; together with a zhadou, its bulbous body and flared rim raised on a short straight foot, with an even dark colour to the stone, 34.2cm and 8.8cm. (2) PLEASE NOTE THIS LOT IS TO BE OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE. 注：本拍品不設底價。 Provenance: from an English private collection, Sussex. Cf. The Victoria & Albert Museum, London, accession no.A.17-1925, for a similar spinach-green jade ruyi sceptre naturalistically carved as a lingzhi. This example was given as a diplomatic gift on 14 September 1793 by the Qianlong Emperor to Sir George Leonard Staunton, Secretary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the first British Embassy to China lead by Lord George Macartney. Though to an early English audience the significance of ruyi sceptres was unclear and generally misunderstood as a symbol of sovereignity, they have always featured in Chinese culture as tokens of good fortune. The word ruyi signifies 'as you wish', pointing to the auspicious significance to these objects. As such, they were seen as appropriate Imperial gifts for diplomatic exchanges such as the British Embassy of 1793.
