Ivan Kozlov (Russian, B. 1937) "Common Goldeneye" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on a First Day Cover for a Russia Duck stamp issued July 1, 1990. Like the Mallard, the hardy Common Goldeneye winters as far north as possible, usually on coastal bays, large lakes, impoundments and rivers. In fact, where waters stay icefree, many Goldeneyes never migrate at all. Where natural hot springs and geysers are present, for example, flocks stay year round, wintering on stretches of river kept open by warm water. When forced to migrate by extremely cold temperatures, the Goldeneye begins its journey in late fall, flying in small, fast flocks that are often identified by the whistling of rapidly beating wings. This distinctive sound gives rise to the bird's widespread nickname, the Whistler. In the spring, these ducks arrive early at their breeding grounds, appearing with the first openings in the ice of preferred lakes and streams. While searching for nest sites, Goldeneyes scatter across vast evergreen forests hunting for the appropriate spots to settle in for the season. A cavity in a rotten hardwood tree by a marsh usually serves as a nest. There, the hen wraps eight to twelve greenish eggs in a blanket of soft, insulating down. This lovely hen has a charcoal body, crisp white breast, belly and wing markings and a rich brown head. Even more colorful, the predominantly black and white Goldeneye drake sports bold, striking markings -- a glistening dark green head and a striking white eye patch compliment his white chest, belly and wing patches.

Ivan Kozlov (Russian, B. 1937) "1994 Russia Duck Conservation" Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. Many ornithologists consider the White-winged Scoters that inhabit East Siberia as separate from the North American species, classing the Russian inhabitants as Palearctic forms known as Velvet Scoters. Frequenting the shores of tundra and taiga areas, as well as seacoasts and open lakes, these magnificent creatures seldom appear on land. Flying low and fast, the wingbeats of White-winged Scoters produce a whistling sound that can be heard up to half a mile away. The distinctive white patch on this duck's dark wing, after which this speices was named, easily distinguishes it from other Scoters. Another feature that is used to identify this bird is a white marking around its eyes. White-winged Scoter males are further characterized by their black plumage, while both females and juveniles possess dark brown feathers. Unlike other ducks, the breeding plumage of this Scoter exhibits little color change. It is believed that breeding first takes place after these ducks become two years old. After spending their first summer in flocks at sea, Scoters begin forming pairs the following winter. By spring migration, the newly-formed couples are ready to journey to the nesting site. It is believed that these pairs remain together until the first week of incubation. Females are then left alone to care for their offspring. Designed by artist Ivan Kozlov, this artwork was used to create a stamp to raise funds for the protection of Russia's waterfowl. Image Size: 6.75 x 8.75 in. Overall Size: 9.5 x 11.75 in. Unframed.

An 18th century German gold and amethystine quartz pug dog boxDresden circa 1750, with later Swedish 18 carat gold marks Carved in the form of an alert pug dog reclining with finely detailed fur and curled tail, the darker purple veins in the stone used to highlight the head and a patch on the back, with paste-set eyes and an amethyst-set collar, the hinged base with wavy gold mount and asymmetrical scrolling thumb-piece, length 8.8cm.Footnotes:ProvenanceA private Swedish collection.For a very similar pug box with turned alert head and curled tail, see Grandjean et al, The James A de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, Gold Boxes and Miniatures of the Eighteenth Century, cat. 10, p. 38, inv. W1/34/5**, where the natural colours within the stone have similarly been used to great effect to highlight the head and the fur; it also has a very similar wavy gold hinge mount.There are other boxes with similarly carved alert reclining pugs with curled tails, though here the cushion bases are the more dominant features; the Royal Collection, RCIN 4048, and the Rijksmuseum, see plate 649, p.314, Snowman, Eighteenth Century Gold Boxes of Europe (Woodbridge 1990).The present lot forms part of a select group of carved hardstone animal and figural snuff boxes where the colours and textures within the stone are used to great effect. See these rooms, Burton Collection, 18th June 2014, lot 7, a horse's head. Charlie Truman points out in his note to Cat.67, The Gilbert Collection of Gold Boxes, p.195 (LA 1991), that these boxes are attributed to Dresden because of the similarity to the models produced at the Meissen factory. Furthermore, Dresden was a centre for skilled hardstone carving. A fine collection of similar boxes was sold by Baron de Redé and Baron Guy de Rothschild, Sotheby's 25th May 1975, lots 10-27, including ram dudlesacks, a figure of Polichinelle, a cow, a goat, cats, lambs, a tortoise, a chicken, a squirrel, a horse's head and various dogs. The Hermitage in St Petersburg holds several German agate snuff boxes, including mocha agate twin lions, Inv Э-4035 and a striped agate lion, Inv Э-4146.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
