Exceptionelle, rare et belle montre de gousset à cadran ouvert en or jaune 18K (750) avec automate musical remontoir à clefAn exceptional, fine and rare 18K gold key wind open face musical automaton pocket watch Date: Circa 1810Movement: Gilt full plate verge, 3-arm brass balance, pierced and engraved balance bridge, music playing on pinned disc, numbered under dial 387Dial: Gilt with engraved scene of Father Time upon a globe, black Roman numerals to brushed surround, outer minute divisions, winding apertures near 6 and 10, polished hands Case: Polished round, classical scene to back with automaton man playing the lute whilst a lady dances back and forward and a sheep grazes up and down, the male rests against a finely engraved tree beside a dwelling, in the background an enamel pastoral scene beside the water and in front of a mountain, reeded band with button at 11 to activate automatonSize: 55mm Weight: 127,80gFootnotes:The Lute Player and The DancerThe popularity of the automaton watch during the late 18th and early 19th century coincided with the transformation of the watch from mechanical jewel into precision timekeeper. The watchmaker demanded ever more complex motion from the interaction of wheels and pinions and combined with ever more detailed enamelling and gold work, the automaton watch was born. Produced in very limited numbers, automatons are incredible pieces of art that stand as testament to the exceptional skills of the period. Automaton watches are complicated timepieces and traditionally feature at most 2 or 3 animations. On the current lot these take the form of a male playing the lute, a female dancing back and forth and a sheep grazing up and down. This is a busy scene with the automaton figures interspersed between a rustic dwelling and woodland beside a stream that leads to a hall. The lute player is a character seen on other automatons from this period but it is exceptionally rare to come across a musician accompanied by both a dancer and actual music. The combination of the three makes this a truly stunning piece of art. The addition of the grazing sheep minding its own business is then a lovely piece of gentle humour to this romanticised bucolic scene. Although not signed, this musical automaton timepiece is certainly in the style of celebrated makers such as Isaac Daniel Piguet or Henry Capt. It is not unusual for such complicated automatons to be not signed and Henry Capt in particular left most of his work unsigned with a limited number of pieces bearing his scratched name on the movements.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Jan Harmensz. van Bylert, um 1597 Utrecht – 1671 ebenda DER LAUTENSPIELERÖl auf Leinwand.105 x 80 cm.Der Maler hatte sich auf Halbbildnisse spezialisiert, insbesondere auch von Musikern oder Philosophen, die in mehreren öffentlichen Sammlungen vertreten sind, wie das bekannte Gemälde mit einem Konzert mit Lauten- und Cellospielern. Auch das hier vorliegende Motiv zeigt einen Jüngling im Dreiviertelbildnis nach rechts, in sitzender Haltung an einer Laute, wobei sein halb geöffneter Mund andeutet, dass er sich selbst singend begleitet. Über dem schwarzen kurzen lockigen Haar ein Barett mit großer weißer Straußenfeder, eine Reminiszenz auch an das Werk Caravaggios, wie ebenso die Darstellung des jungen Musikers mit entblößter Schulter. Farblich dominierend ist das kräftige Rot im Umhang, das als farblicher Gegenpol zum hellen Grau-Blau des Hintergrundes steht. Der Einfluss Caravaggios ist auch in dem vorliegenden Gemälde unverkennbar.Anmerkung:Der Künstler war Sohn eines Glasmalers und nach Mitteilung des frühen Künstlerbiographen Joachim von Sandrart d. Ä. (1606-1688) ein Schüler des Abraham Bloemaert (1564-1651), bevor ihn seine Studienreisen nach Frankreich und dann nach Italien führten. In Rom verblieb er wahrscheinlich bis 1624 und stand dort in Kontakt mit den holländischen Malern Jan Gerritsz van Bronchorst (1603-1661) oder Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1586-1667). Ab Mitte der 1620er-Jahre ließ er sich stark von Michelangelo Merisi il Caravaggio (1570/71-1610) und Guido Reni (1575-1642) beeinflussen, wie ebenso von Gerrit van Honthorst (1590-1656). Er gilt als einer der führenden, wenn nicht sogar als führendster Vertreter der Utrechter Caravaggisten.Literatur:Paul Huys, Jan van Bijlert, 1998, S. 139 Nr. 105, Pl. 46, circa 1625-1635.
