Cusco School, Viceregal period, 19th century."Saint Raphael the Archangel".Oil on canvas.No signature.Measurements: 70 x 49 cm; 80 x 60 cm (frame).In the viceregal tradition, the representations of angels and archangels were differentiated between those of the European catholic tradition and the archangels of the colonial mestizo tradition, imaginative fusion of the Inca and catholic religion, inspired by Dutch engravings.Colonial paintings of the so-called "Arcabucero Angels", descendants of the biblical archangels, were for centuries very popular in much of the western side of South America, i.e. the former Peruvian viceroyalty (1542 - 1824). These androgynous angels in the Spanish Baroque style, dressed in 17th century costumes of the Andean aristocracy, were depicted in poses inspired by early 17th century engravings of the Dutch artist Jacob de Gheyn II with large harquebus guns. Paintings depicting these mysterious military angels were created in the second half of the 17th century for missionary purposes in the New World.Popular mestizo devotion during the viceroyalty led to the production of these winged deities from the original cultures. Thus, the so-called arcabuceros, originally from Cuzco, were represented as young men with idealised features, elegantly dressed in the manner of musketeers and carrying weapons in their hands, usually the arquebus, hence their name.Posing from the front, we find Saint Raphael the Archangel holding a sword, a large fish at his feet and wearing a Van Dyck-style collared suit with short sleeves, a long shirt, leggings and high shoes, complete with the characteristic feathered hat.This painting is inspired by the "Arcabucero Angel" in the Museo Pedro de Osma in Lima (Peru), a work belonging to the 17th-century Cuzco School.

HERBERT JOHNSON CRASH HELMET SUPPLIED BY PATEY (LONDON) LTD. Herbert Johnson were one of the preferred purveyors of bash-hats to racing’s elite up to the  early-mid 1960’s era. The company, founded in 1889, made its name for its silk-velvet top-hats. By the outbreak of World War 1 its output was dominated by the demands of the military. Goldie Gardner was the first racer to commission a ‘protective hat’ from then proprietor, Geoffrey Glazier. Stirling Moss was a later customer as demand for the firm’s race products grew. This restored Herbert Johnson crash helmet was purchased in 2008 from renowned supplier Patey (London) Ltd. The helmet is constructed of shellac with cotton webbing and leather/suede side straps. Presented a bespoke carrying case with previous bill of sale, this is a fine piece of racing memorabilia.

In this letter, Christie's thanks the potential consignor for sending in his album (the present lot) and offers to put it up for auction.

Mounted within a silk cover decorated with bands of wan symbols within hexagons. (2)The bodhi tree, also known as the ficus religiosa, is one of the most sacred trees in Buddhism. Special religious significance is given to this form of leaf painting because the Historical Buddha Shakyamuni (circa 563-483 B.C.E.), also known as Siddhartha Gautama, obtained enlightenment under the bodhi tree at Bodhgaya in India. Many temples throughout China planted Ficus religiosa, a tree known for its great size and longevity, and a tradition of leaf art emerged for copying sutras or painting Buddhist images.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2019, lot 2702Price: HKD 250,000 or approx.

Mid 12th-13th century A.D. A well-balanced iron long sword of Oakeshott Type Xa-XI with double-edged blade, gently tapering profile with round point, fitted with well-formed fullers running down to within a few centimetres from the point, cutting edges with evidence of use; parallel-sided straight lower guard (cross style 1a), expanding in the écusson to accommodate the medium tang, cocked-hat pommel of type C or D. Cf. Oakeshott, E., The sword in the Age of the Chivalry,Woodbridge, 1964(1994); Oakeshott, E., Records of the Medieval Sword, Woodbridge, 1991; the sword finds good parallel with a sword preserved in Museum fur Deutsche Geschichte, Berlin (Oakeshott, 1991, p.48) fitted with a same style pommel. 1.2 kg, 93 cm (36 1/2 in.). Acquired 1971-1972. From the collection of the vendor's father. Property of a London, UK, collector. Accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no. 114443-196036. The sword belongs to Oakeshott Type XI of “war sword” or more probably to a transitory type between type Xa and type XI. Type XI has generally been held to belong to the period of c. 1120-1200/1220, but since 1964, research has given it a much earlier dating, going back to Anglo-Saxon times (Oakeshott, 1964/1994, p.32). A beautiful sword of this type was found in a Suffolk ditch at Fornham, on the site of a battle fought in 1173 A.D. between Henry II and the Earl of Leicester.

Alexej von Jawlensky (1867 Moskau - 1941 Wiesbaden)'Meditation', Öl auf leinenstrukturiertem Papier auf Karton montiert, 17,5 cm x 12,5 cm, Unterlagekarton 30,5 cm x 25 cm, monogrammiert, 36 datiert, verso auf dem Unterlagekarton A. Jawlensky bezeichnet, IX. 1936 datiert, N. 20 nummeriert, I.A bezeichnet, in den Ecken Stecknadellöcher, Kante unten rechts mit minimalem Papierabriss (durch das Stecknadelloch), Unterlagekarton mit Montierungsrückständen. Das Gemälde wurde im Oktober 2022 dem Alexej von Jawlensky-Archiv S.A. vorgelegt, Bestätigung der Aufnahme in das Werkverzeichnis folgt.Der deutsch-russische Maler Alexej von Jawlensky absolvierte zunächst die Militärakademie in Moskau und studierte anschließend an der St. Petersburger Kunstakademie und mit Künstlerkollegen, wie Wassily Kandinsky, in München. Er war Gründungsmitglied der Neuen Künstlervereinigung München und stand somit der weltbekannten Künstlergruppe "Blauer Reiter" nahe. Seine Farbpalette besteht aus leuchtenden Farben und markantem Pinselduktus mit dunklen Umrisslinien, die stets dem figurativen verhaftet blieben. Doch bewegte er sich mit den Jahren durch seine Arbeiten zu den Zügen des menschlichen Gesichts hin zur Abstraktion. Zur Werkreihe "Meditation" gehört unser vorliegendes Werk von 1936 ebenso, wie jenes Gesicht auf Goldgrund im Museum Lenbachhaus München. Seit 1929 litt Alexej Jawlensky an Arthritis, die ihn während seiner letzten Werkphasen in eine fast vollständige Lähmung zwang, die Malerei ganz aufzugeben. "So gingen die Jahre in großer Arbeit. Und dann wurde ich krank und konnte wohl weiter arbeiten, trotzdem meine Hände immer mehr und mehr steif wurden. Ich konnte den Pinsel nicht mehr in einer Hand halten, musste beide Hände dazu nehmen, immer mit großen Schmerzen. Mein Format wurde ganz klein, auch musste ich eine neue Technik finden. Drei Jahre malte ich diese kleinen abstrakten Köpfe wie ein Besessener. Da fühlte ich, dass ich bald ganz aufhören musste zu arbeiten. Und so kam es auch!" Der Kunsthistoriker Armin Zweite hat sich mit den drei Arbeitsjahren des Künstlers zwischen 1934 - 1937 beschäftigt und die Variationen von über Hunderten von Arbeiten des Künstlers analysiert. Das Kopfmotiv zeigt "[.] schwere Balken in tiefem Schwarz das griechische Kreuz, das auf der waagrechten Markierung des Mundes ruht und oben durch die stirnbegrenzenden Brauen überfangen wird. Aufgrund der parallelen Pinselspuren gewinnen die dazwischen liegenden Flächen eine eigene Struktur. [.] An der Nasenwurzel leuchtet das zum Abschluss aufgetragene Weisheitszeichen in hellem Ton und unterstreicht den religiös-meditativen Charakter der Bilder zusätzlich." Dieser Charakter wirkt auch in unserem Werk wie der einer Ikone. Das malerische Antlitz wird hier in blau, rot, grün und gelblichen Tönen in Farbfelder aufgeteilt und wirkt trotz der starken Abstraktion äußert emotional und tiefgründig. Selbst wenn dieses betrübt gefasste Gesicht nicht auf Goldgrund gesetzt wurde, ist es doch von starker Spiritualität durchzogen. Literatur: Friedel, Helmut; Hoberg, Annegret: Der Blaue Reiter im Lenbachhaus München, Prestel Verlag, 2007Alexei von Jawlensky (1867 Moscow - 1941 Wiesbaden)'Meditation', oil on linen-texturedpaper mounted on cardboard, 17.5 cm x 12.5 cm, backing board (dimensions) 30.5 cm x 25 cm, monogrammed, dated 36, inscribed on verso of backing board A. Jawlensky, dated IX. 1936, numbered N. 20, inscribed I.A, pinholes in corners, edge lower right with minimal paper tear (through pinhole), backing board with mounting residues. The painting was submitted to the Alexej von Jawlensky Archive S.A. in October 2022, confirmation of inclusion in the catalogue raisonné follows.The German-Russian painter Alexej von Jawlensky first graduated from the military academy in Moscow and then studied at the St. Petersburg Art Academy and with fellow artists, such as Wassily Kandinsky, in Munich. He was a founding member of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München and was thus close to the world-famous ''Blauer Reiter'' group of artists. His colour palette consists of bright colours and a striking brushstroke with dark outlines that always remained figurative. However, over the years he moved towards abstraction through his works on the features of the human face. Our present work from 1936 belongs to the ''Meditation'' series, as does the face on a gold background in the Lenbachhaus Museum in Munich. Since 1929, Alexei Jawlensky had suffered from arthritis, which forced him into almost complete paralysis during his last phases of work, forcing him to give up painting altogether. ''So the years went by in great work. And then I fell ill and I suppose I could go on working, even so my hands became more and more stiff. I could no longer hold the brush in one hand, I had to use both hands, always with great pain. My format became very small, and I also had to find a new technique. For three years I painted these little abstract heads like a man possessed. Then I felt that soon I would have to stop working altogether. And so it came to pass!'' Art historian Armin Zweite has studied the artist's three working years between 1934 - 1937 and analysed the variations of over hundreds of the artist's works. The head motif shows ''[...] heavy bars in deep black the Greek cross resting on the horizontal marking of the mouth and overlaid above by the brows bordering the forehead. Due to the parallel brushstrokes, the intervening areas gain a structure of their own. [.] At the root of the nose, the wisdom sign applied at the end shines in a light tone and further underlines the religious-meditative character of the paintings.'' This character also appears in our work like that of an icon. Here, the painterly countenance is divided into colour fields in blue, red, green and yellowish tones and, despite the strong abstraction, appears extremely emotional and profound. Even if this sorrowful face was not set on a gold ground, it is still permeated by a strong spirituality.
