A rare and large panoramic watercolour view of the Golden Temple and the city of Amritsar, 19th Century attributed to Cyril Wiseman Herbert (British, 1847-1882)watercolour on paper, signed C. Herbert and inscribed Ghrant Temple/Sacred Tank/Umritsar lower left 58.5 x 100 cm.Footnotes:ProvenanceFormerly in a private Scottish collection.Cyril Wiseman Herbert was the son of another Royal Academician, John Rogers Herbert. He exhibited five works at the RA between 1870 and 1875, painting mostly landscapes, often of Italy, which he visited in 1868.We have good reason to suppose that this painting is the largest depiction of the Golden Temple in watercolour to have come on the market. To the right of the view is the Jhanda Bunga, named after the two tall standards (jhandas) seen here, which were re-erected in 1841. On the left are the two minarets of the residence of Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, a Sikh leader of the 18th Century.The second Guru, Angad Dev, discovered the site in the 16th Century, when it was simply a stretch of water in the midst of forest. His successor, Amar Das, built a hut beside it for contemplation. Ram Das, the fourth Guru, bought the pool and the land around it. But it was the fifth Guru, Arjun Dev (1581-1606), who cemented its importance as a place of pilgrimage but also as a focus for the permanence of the religion. The foundation stone of the Harmandir (the Golden Temple) was laid in 1588, and the formalising of the pool had been completed in 1577. The Harmandir was destroyed three times between 1757 and 1764 when Northern India was under Mughal control, but thereafter the area was protected and during the height of Sikh power under Maharajah Ranjit Singh the Harmandir was embellished and expanded.For a survey of the history of the Harmandir, see Patwant Singh, 'The Golden Temple', in S. Stronge (ed.), The Arts of the Sikh Kingdoms, London 1999, pp. 46-59. Singh's account ends:'To stand on the terrace outside the Shish Mahal, surrounded by the golden domes and kiosks, is to revel in the glory of this joyous tribute to the Gurus. If their vision, faith and sacrifices has inspired their disciples to feats of valour, then here was the grateful offering of the disciples to the source of their inspiration. As the golden silhouettes of these domes and kiosks emerge in the early morning light and glow throughout the day in the intensity of the Panjab sun, before changing colour in the fading light at dusk, they are an unforgettable sight for the thousands who come daily to worship at the Darbar Sahib. When they step into the waters of the holy pool, and see the Harmandir's shimmering reflection, Sikhs feel as if they have been touched by the sacred'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A grey horse of the Madras Light Cavalry standing in a landscape with its groom, with the fort of Trichinopoly, Madras in the distance Calcutta, studio of Shaykh Muhammad Amir of Karraya, circa 1837-40watercolour on paper 240 x 340 mm.Footnotes:The insignia on the saddle, VIII LC, refers to the 8th (Madras) Light Cavalry, a unit raised in 1804 and added to a formation founded in the mid-18th Century. Unusually for works by Shaykh Muhammad Amir of Karraya, the scene pictured is outside Calcutta. The reason for this may be the transfer of Madras cavalry units to the Bengal military establishment, which is known to have taken place in 1837. This painting therefore seems to adapt the more civilian-oriented Calcutta-based depictions of horses and grooms produced by the artist, in order to mark the arrival of a Madras unit, with a reminder of their origin in the landscape background.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Dragoons at the Battle of Chillienwallah, 13th January 1849The Battle of Googerat on the 21st February 1849The Anglo-Sikh wars were a series of conflicts between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company during the 1840s, that resulted in the fall of the Sikh Empire and annexation of the Punjab. The Battles of Moodkee (18th December 1845), Ferozshah (21-22nd December 1845) and Aliwal (28th January 1846) formed part of the First Anglo-Sikh War, whilst the Battles of Ramnuggur (22nd November 1848), Chillienwallah (13th January 1849) and Googerat (21st February 1849) formed part of the Second Anglo-Sikh War. The First Anglo-Sikh War concluded after the Battle of Sobraon, the last of a series of battles fought in the winter of 1845-46. This resulted in the British occupying Lahore and the eastern half of the Sikh territories, and assuming effective control over the remainder, at the same time recognising Duleep Singh as heir apparent. The Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-49) saw the defeat of the rest of the Khalsa forces at Chillianwallah and Gujerat, after which the whole of the Punjab was brought under the control of the British Crown.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Artist: Norman Rockwell (American, 1894 - 1978). Title: "The Texan". Medium: Original color collotype and lithograph. Date: Printed 1973. Dimensions: Overall size: 28 x 22 in. (711 x 559 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in pencil, lower right. Light cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good to fine condition. Comment(s): Norman Percevel Rockwell was a 20th-century American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenarios he created for "The Saturday Evening Post" magazine for more than four decades. This image is also known as 'Gary Cooper as the Texan' and 'Movie Star Being Made Up', and was the cover illustration for 'The Saturday Evening Post' of May 24, 1930. Rockwell was impressed by his model, writing that "My model…was Gary Cooper. He was already a very well-known actor at the time. He posed for me in Hollywood for three days and worked as conscientiously as any model I ever had. Everyone on the lot was crazy about him, and I could see why." Arthur L. Guptill, 'Norman Rockwell, Illustrator.' In this image, Rockwell plays with the stereotype of the manly cowboy by showing a makeup artist putting lipstick on Cooper. The thickly painted canvas reinforces the theme of cosmetics, and highlights how magazines strived to glamorize movie stars for their covers. Printed by the Jaffe Press.

Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). Title: "Texan [Robert Rauschenberg]". Medium: Original color letterpress print. Date: Printed 1970. Dimensions: Overall size: 9 1/2 x 9 7/8 in. (241 x 251 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in white marker, center right. Edition of c200. Medium weight light cream uncoated wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. Comment(s): This rare letterpress print was published as part of the Warhol portfolio of eight prints which was included in the publication/portfolio "Artists & Photographs" published by Multiples, Inc., New York City, in association with Colorcraft Inc., NYC in 1970. The publication consists of a cardboard box containing artist's publications, multiples, artist's books, etc. by Warhol, Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Nauman, Gormley, Christo, Lewitt, and others. The stated edition size was 1,200 but as Peter Gidal indicates "…rumors abound that the art-box never got made in more than 800 copies, but even the origination gallery can no longer verify it. What is certain is that no "extra" copies of any of the multiples were made, and that the Gormley was in an edition of 200 and the Rauschenberg in an edition of 400. This substantiated the fact that complete boxes could never have been more than 200." Warhol's contributions were printed in different sizes, scales, and mediums. Our example is stamped verso "File Copy - Colorcraft Inc. - Please Return" indicating that it came from the Colorcraft archives. No auction records located.
