Lily Williams ARHA (1874-1940) Hibernia Pastel, 65.5 X 42 (25.75 X 16.5") Signed This is an important early pastel by the artist Lily Williams whose work rarely appears on the open market. Williams grew up in a progressive Presbyterian household which nurtured her artistic talents from an early stage. Having trained under May Manning and then, at The Royal Hibernian Schools, under Walter Osborne her loose impressionist style was allowed to develop alongside that of her immediate contemporaries, Beatrice and Dorothy Elvery, Grace Gifford and Estella Solomons the latter two of whom would have heightened her awareness of the Gaelic revival and it’s accompanying Nationalism. Her family home at 104, Marlborough Road hosted “literary afternoons†which were attended by the likes of lifelong friend Arthur Griffith. In Protestant Nationalist circles Griffith was popular for his provocative non-violent policies. Williams is best known for her subtle pastel portraits of leading Nationalists of the day, including Griffith, Padraig Colum and The O’Rahilly. At Griffith’s request she also designed ‘stamps’ for Sinn Féin in 1907. They were to be placed alongside official stamps and had the dual purpose of raising both funds and the profile of Sinn Féin. One of the two ‘stamp’ images designed by Williams was of the romantic Cathleen Ni Houlihan, a personification of Ireland also used by Sir John Lavery and ultimately found on the old one pound note. It is this Nationalist ethos which permeates ‘Hibernia’. The beautiful figure, seated and alert, writes with a quill on to parchment draped in the tricolour. She personifies the national awakening and is as anonymous as she is all embracing, an icon for her times. Comparisons can be made between “Hibernia†and a work by fellow art student Beatrice Glenavy entitled ’Eire’ executed by Glenavy in 1907. For further information on Lily Williams please refer to the feature on her “Comrades and Friends†by Hilary Pyle Irish Art Review Summer 2013.

MANUEL GONZÁLEZ SERRANO Naturaleza muerta Firmado MGS. Pastel sobre papel. Con etiqueta de Salón de la Plástica Mexicana / INBA. (N. Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, 1917 - Ciudad de México, 1960) Tendiente a la introspección, González Serrano destacó en la década de los cuarenta como un pintor sui géneris dentro del contexto artístico mexicano. Compartió motivos e intereses con artistas de su generación, pero su fuerte personalidad le imprimió un sello inconfundible a sus obras. Simbolista con una concepción sobre la realidad, que vinculaba desde sus ideas místicas y atormentadas, la creación de formas con nervaduras dando la oportunidad al espectador de plantear su propia interpretación. Véase: MARTÍNEZ LÁMBARRY, Margarita. "La Colección de Pintura del Banco Nacional de México. Tomo I". México. Grupo Financiero Banamex, 2002. pp. 292 - 294. 30 x 39 cm Ver ilustración.

Anna de NOAILLES. 1876-1933. 5 L.A.S. à Louis Barthou. 1921-1931. 8 pp. in-8, 1 pp. sur pneumatique, 2 ff. in-4 oblong. 1921 : La comtesse félicite Barthou de sa nomination au portefeuille de la Guerre ; mais le ministre ne me fait pas oublier l’écrivain et le bibliophile à qui je vais adresser ces jours-ci la nouvelle édition revue et corrigée (et un peu augmentée) de mon livre (…). De la villa Bassara, elle lui fait part de sa correspondance avec un ami bibliophile ; (…) Pour lui, mon véritable plaisir quand j’ai pour Président du Conseil l’amitié et l’admiration littéraire que vous m’inspirez, c’est de ne rien lui demander que de continuer (…). Je ne saurais vous dire à quel point j’entends sans cesse parler de vous (…). La comtesse lui adresse quelques pages manuscrites en attendant qu’elle en classe d’autres de son dernier livre ; elle voudrait recommander plusieurs proches pour la Légion d’Honneur, d’accord en cela avec quelques académiciens (…). Lavisse, Barrès, Masson pourront vous l’affirmer (…). J’ai gardé un souvenir enchanté de mon passage dans la somptueuse Cité des livres où les reliures sont teintées avec de beaux paysages, et contiennent la part visible des âmes immortelles (…). Juin 1931 : L’honnêteté (vous et moi la servons encore !) m’oblige à vous dire que le minuscule tableau que vous avez choisi en vous ruinant, n’est pas dans le livre. L’imprimeur l’a négligé pour deux autres reproductions ; Elle lui adresse son petit souvenir dédicacé ; mais je vais continuer à être embêtante ! Le cher et grand Vuillard, as du pastel, m’a indiqué un fixatif qui résiste à tout. Donc, si vous me prêtez pendant quelques heures l’anémone onéreuse qui est chez vous, je vous la rendrais solide (…).
