Barbara Bennett, Flock of grazing sheep, pastel on paper, signed lower right, framed, 36 x 26cm

*De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Preparatory study of a female male head, for The Captives, coloured  chalks  and pastel on buff paper, head and shoulders portrait  in  profile  turned  to the left, of a maiden clutching her head and gazing downward, visible sheet size 30 x 22cm (11.75 x 8.75ins), image size 18 x  19cm  (7 x 7.5ins), mounted, framed and glazedProvenance: English private collection  formed  circa  1950-1970, thence by descent. The present work is a study  for  the  right  hand  figure  in 'The Captives', held by the De Morgan Foundation, which shows five classically draped female figures in attitudes of fear amongst writhing dragons. The painting seems to give a message of worldly danger,  both  physical and spiritual, particularly for women, and the need to resist.  This study is a typical example of Evelyn's careful preparatory work, showing  an  accurate delineation of limbs and attitude, and exquisitely drawn features.(1)

*De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Preparatory study of a male head, for Saint Christina Giving her Father's Jewels to the Poor, Florence, 1904 coloured chalks and pastel on buff paper, head portrait in profile turned to the right, of an elderly blind man with a grey beard and long hair, his face turned heavenward, visible sheet size 30 x 20cm (11.75 x 8ins), image size 18.5 x 17.5cm (7.25 x 7ins), mounted, framed and glazed Provenance:  English private collection formed circa 1950-1970, thence by descent. The present work is a study for the supplicating male figure in the boat on the left of Evelyn de Morgan's impressive oil painting 'Saint Christina Giving her Father's Jewels to the  Poor'. The work was painted in Italy, and brought over from Florence shortly before the outbreak of war in 1914. In 1919 it was purchased by her sister and biographer, Mrs. Stirling, from a sale of Evelyn's paintings held in aid of St. Dunstan's charity for blinded war veterans. Tragically it was destroyed in October 1991 when a fire raged through Bourlet's art storage unit in New York where much of the De Morgan Foundation's art collection was being held. The St. Christina oil is the largest work which Evelyn produced, measuring 77.75 x 120ins, and consequently a large number of studies for it exist. The painting depicts the saint standing on the steps of her pagan father's Venetian palace distributing to a number of supplicants jewels taken from the idols broken up by attending angels. The format of the work follows in the tradition of large scale Biblical and historical paintings, and its subject - spiritual enlightenment through casting off wealth - was one that particularly interested the artist. The martyred St. Christina not only embodied the virtues of poverty and charity, but also showed herself to be a strong woman in the face of opposition, an attribute which must have appealed to the feminist Evelyn. The detailed life studies produced by Evelyn De Morgan for such works typically show a desire for accuracy, with exquisite detail in drapery and figure studies, and beauty of character in her studies of heads; the artist rarely deviated from her initial concepts in the finished composition.                                                    (1)

Artist: Jeanne Modigliani (1918 - 1984) Artwork Title: Portrait Size: 63 x 48 cm Media: Pastel on paper Artist Info: Jeanne Modigliani was born in Nice on the 29th November 1918. She was soon after adopted and brought up by her aunt Margherita Modigliani, in Livorno, her father Amedeo Modigliani's home town. Her childhood was never discussed until she reached adulthood so she was unaware of the lives and tragic deaths of her parents, who both died when she was only 14 months old. However, life was not to be easy for the child of Modigliani either, and as Fascism deepened its hold on Italy poor young Jeanne was identified and persecuted as a Jew – so she left Italy and, like her father before her, took refuge in Paris where she later joined the French Resistance and she was imprisoned for political reasons. As daughter of painter Jeanne Hebutern and the great master Amedeo Modigliani, Jeanne inherited artistic genes and her works are of a stunning, elegant, refined and sensual quality, albeit painting was only one of her many artistic outlooks in life. Jeanne Modigliani died in 1984 in Paris, at the age of 66. Notes: Probably her most lasting heritage is the faithful and true biography of her father written in 1958 and the product of very intensive, scrupulous and passionate research when she finally discovered who her real father was! "Modigliani, man and myth", was later translated into English from the Italian by Esther Rowland Clifford. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have had some low auctions records but have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have now become rare collectors items.
