Raquel Alvarez Sardina (Spanish b.1967) pencil/graphite on paper 'Membrillo III' a large depiction of a quince tree, framed and glazed 115.5cm x 119.5cm *Raquel Alvarez Sardina was born in Barcelona. At the age of seventeen she joined Academia Leonardo da Vinci and in 1986 she started a degree in Fine Arts. Whilst doing the degree she attended Academia Sant Vicenç and Boter/ Santalo and completed a drawing course at 'Academia Lorenzo de Medici' in Florence. After graduating in 1991 she came to England where she studied a Master's Degree at Cardiff University. Drawing influence from the Master painters of the Spanish Tenebrism of the Baroque period she has developed a personal contemporary style to represent beauty. Her painting method is slow, precise and full of feeling. It is as though she wants us to slow down and contemplate a few simple objects in silence. She spends a considerable amount of time setting the composition; each fruit or object is placed carefully in the space. Sketching is useful to decide, sometimes by a matter of millimetres where every fruit or leave should be. When she is happy with the composition she draws directly onto the canvas with a brush. She finds painting fruit in the tree still attached to the branch to be the most satisfying 'I love to paint the intricate shapes of the leaves against the roundness of the fruit. I enjoy the complexity of the subject, with the leaves creating unusual perspectives, spaces and light between them' Raquel works in a studio in the garden, half of the studio is painted grey, a colour that is neutral and absorbs light. This creates the best environment for Chiaroscuro style of painting. The other half of the studio is painted a lighter colour, better suited to lighter paintings. She positions fruit next to the window to make the most of the light to create a strong contrast. Sunny days are better for contrast and warm light. Her work has been exhibited in Spain, England and United States. Living and working in the Cotswolds her work is on show at Arcadia Contemporary, United States and is represented in The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle, Concept Gallery in Glasgow, Paragon Gallery in Cheltenham and Morningside Gallery in Edinburgh. In 2016 she was elected Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and HRH Princess Michael of Kent presented her with The President and Vice Presidents' Choice Award for the Best Work of Art in the Annual Exhibition, Mall Galleries, London.

Ca. 500 BC. A striking Chalcidian helmet comprised of hammered tinned bronze, so named as this helmet form was initially depicted on pottery believed to derive from the Euboean city of Chalcis.

Beyond this coveted form is the gorgeous silvery sheen and green patina. Size: 310mm x 240mm; Weight: 830g Provenance: Property of a European collector, acquired on the Austrian art market, 1980s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.

UNITED KINGDOM. Victoria, 1837-1901. Gold Half-Sovereign, 1887. London. Imperfect J DISH L508. The issues the mint encountered with the Jubilee coins are well documented and were exacerbated by the pressure for the coins to be ready for the Queen's Golden Jubilee on 20 June 1887. Records show that 1,771,425 half-sovereigns were struck in 1887, but only 871,770, less than 50% of the total, were fit for circulation. To improve metal flow silver was included in the alloy, which makes all 1887 London Jubilee head half-sovereigns stand out for their lighter colour. Although this variety is the most common of the 1887 Jubilee head half sovereigns, it is highly sought after due to the fascinating story surrounding the series, recently told by David Iverson and Steve Hill In their publication 'The Jubilee Head Gold Half Sovereign 1887-1893' (Sovereign Rarities, 2019).Crowned and veiled Jubilee bust facing left; JEB on truncation, imperfect J; inscription: VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRIT: REGINA F: D:. / High, crowned and embellished shield-of-arms; date in exergue; BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID: DEF:.Reference: DISH-L508; S-3869; Marsh-478FDiameter: 19.3 mm.Weight: 3.99 g.
