Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings, Volume I, Andre Deutsch, London, 1992, p.322, cat.no.355 (ill.b&w)The painting depicts the last scene of Charles Guonod's 1867 opera Romeo and Juliet, based on William Shakespeare's famous tragedy. In the final act after a tumultuous duet, Romeo expires and Juliet takes her own life. Their entwined bodies lie in the deserted tomb. Guonod's opera was performed in the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on 2 March 1926. The Irish Times review of the production praised the music and the performers although it noted that Cynlais Gibbs, who played Romeo had a lighter voice than Miss Hill who played Juliet, and was at a slight disadvantage. But it concluded that the orchestra 'gave a fluent account of the strongly coloured instrumental music'. The O'Mara Opera Company, which staged the production, was founded by the celebrated Limerick born tenor, Joseph O'Mara, in 1912 and performed opera seasons regularly at the Gaiety. In 1926, the year before his early death, O'Mara was the first opera singer to perform live on the newly inaugurated Radio Eireann, the Irish Free State's national radio station.Yeats was in attendance at the Gaiety and outlined the scene depicted in the painting in his sketchbook. His book also features drawings of the celebrated staging of Lennox Robinson's play, Cyclops which was performed by the Dublin Drama League in the playwright's home in Dalkey in August 1926. Yeats was an avid theatre goer and playwright. He wrote several plays for children in the early 1900s and his later experimental plays Harlequin's Positions, La La Noo and In Sand were staged at the Abbey Theatre between 1939 and 1949. Several of Yeats's paintings are inspired by his experiences of the theatre. These include Singing The Minstrel Boy (1923, The Model, Sligo), Now (1941, Private Collection), The Talent (1944, Private Collection) and Man Hearing an Old Song, (1950, Private Collection). These paintings like, Romeo and Juliet, incorporate the audience and its involvement in the performance. Yeats's cursory sketch notes the two candles, the balcony to the right and the prominent form of the conductor which are all key elements in the final painting. The figure of the conductor can be seen in the painting on the extreme left. His head is erect and his arms extended as he conducts the concluding notes of Guonod's score. The ghostly bodies of Romeo and Juliet lie next to each other in front of the tomb. Flecks of white, yellow and pink subtly indicate their faces and the flowers that adorn the sturdy sepulchre behind them. The tall ethereal forms of the candles are delicately painted and they and the single flame torch add to the sense of solemnity.The figures are dwarfed by the vast blue expanse of the set. One contemporary reviewer noted the emotional power of this colour in Yeats's painting. 'The surrounding blue seems to be the mystery of life – to symbolise every love-story that was ever lived or written – and birth and death and passion and sacrifice, and everything that is significant in human struggling. It is as if the universe had paused to mark a fleeting perfection'. The stage is framed by the warm reds and yellows of the surrounding auditorium. The heads of the front row of the audience fill the bottom of the composition. On the right hand side the towering structure of the interior of the Gaiety throws the perspective of the stage into stark relief. The elaborate gilt and maroon decoration is richly conveyed by loose swirls of deep colour which take on an organic quality, suggestive of movement and warm reflected light. A spectator is shown seated in the darkened theatre box looking at the performance. The ledge of this box, which stands out in sharp relief, is modelled out of thick brown paint while black lines indicate the railings. This unusual perspective emphasises the collaborative nature of live theatre in which the performers, musicians, and the spectators share in the illusion of the drama. It also draws attention to the artificiality of the set and the theatre itself as an extraordinary site where the human imagination is enabled to take flight. Romeo and Juliet was included in Yeats's one-man exhibition at the Engineers' Hall in Dublin in 1927 and was subsequently shown at the Ruskin gallery in Birmingham and the Arthur Tooth gallery in London. It features in many of the reviews of the acclaimed Dublin exhibition. George Russell described Yeats's work as 'intensely personal' noting that in the paintings, 'the psychic temperament is breaking through the limitations of the physical'. Another critic remarked on the 'powerful and almost audacious wealth of conception and composition' of Romeo and Juliet, which ' is bound to be one of the most discussed of the collection'. Finally the international art journal, The Studio, proclaimed that Yeats 'has now acquired a power over his medium which can only be described as masterly'.

ZHANG DAQIAN (1899-1983) FAREWELL TO A GOOD FRIEND A Chinese painting, ink and colour on paper, inscribed and signed Shu Jun Zhang Daqian, presented to Pan Feilu (Penfield), dated the thirty-third year of the Republic Period (1944), with two artist's seals, the reverse with a paper label which has a translation of the inscription: 'James K Penfield (Pan Feilu), who called on me twice at Ta Feng Hall while I was out, as a token for his return to the United States', 76cm x 43cm. Provenance: formerly in the collection of the late James Kedzie Penfield (1908-2004). Mr Penfield was part of an American diplomatic team which travelled during the 1930s and 1940s. In 1961, he was appointed as the American Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Iceland. The image of a scholar under a willow tree represents friends saying goodbye. Breaking a willow branch to give to a leaving friend on their departure for a long journey is a custom which can be traced back to the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), and the imagery is frequently used in Chinese literature. The idea is that once the friend has arrived at their destination, they can plant the broken willow branch and it will regrow into a tree at this new place. The Chinese character for the word 'willow tree' is homophonous with the character liu, meaning 'to stay'. Gifting a willow branch is therefore a gesture of asking the departing friend to stay as well as a way of showing how they will be missed and expressing good wishes for the future. This painting by Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was a gift to his friend the late James Kedzie Penfield (1908-2004) before Mr Penfield's return to the United States from China. Mr Penfield visited Zhang Daqian's studio twice before leaving, but he was out both times and so they were unable to say goodbye in person. With regret and a heavy heart, Zhang Daqian painted this picture depicting himself as a scholar underneath a willow tree as a means of saying farewell and wishing his old friend all the best for the future.張大千（1899-1983）柳畔送友圖 設色紙本 立軸款識：潘飛露先生兩過予大風堂不遇傾墨美國寫此以送其行，中華民國三十三年十二月蜀郡張大千寫。鈐印：張爰、三千大千。來源：潘飛露先生（1908-1983）舊藏，畢業於斯坦福大學，遂加入美國外交大使團訪華。在其工作期間結識了張大千等著名藝術家及名流。註：古有詩經云：昔我往矣，楊柳依依。明代郭登詩：年年長自送行人，折尽邊城路旁柳。在潘飛露先生回美之前，曾兩顧大風堂訪大千而不遇。張大千聞之，借古人折柳贈別寓意，做高士圖立於飛絮之下，回首遙望遠方，以此聊寄不捨之情。

THOMAS DANIELL (1749-1840) 'The Mausoleum of Amir Khusero, At the Ancient City of Delhi' aquatint, 46cm x 60cm Plate 6 from the first set of Thomas Daniell's 'Oriental Scenery'. This mausoleum was misidentified by the Daniells as the tomb of the celebrated Delhi poet Amir Khusrau (1253-1325), which lies nearby in the tomb complex of Nizamuddin. It is in fact the tomb of Mirza 'Aziz Koka, foster brother of the Emperor Akbar, who died in 1623/24. It is one of the earliest of a new type of Mughal tomb, the flat-roofed hypostyle hall, here encased in white marble, with white marble jalis or pierced screens around the sides. It is known as the Chaunsath Kambha or '64 pillared hall' from the number of its pillars: it consists of 6 by 6 bays, with pillars doubled round the periphery, and quadrupled at the corners.

This copy of Nicholas Nickleby has the publisher's imprint at the foot of the frontispiece and the first three plates (and possibly trimmed from the fourth plate), representing the first state. The caption of the cut 'Nicholas ... Mr. Bray' is the longer version compared to the shorter caption in the list of plates. However, the caption 'Nicholas instructs Smike .... does agree with the list of plates. Page 123 has the corrected 'sister' for 'visitor', however page 160 still has 'latter' for 'letter'. The page-number is printed correctly on page 'x'. This 3 volume set has been bound from the parts, probably as the parts were published as the final volume is in a slightly different coloured bookcloth.
