Alicia Boyle (1908-1996) Bishops Gate, Derry, The Arch Bar and Pets Corner Oil on canvas, 60 x 50cm (23½ x 19½'') Signed with initials; also signed versoAlicia Boyle was born in Bangkok in 1908 to Irish parents. Shortly afterwards, the family returned to Ireland and settled in Derry, where Boyle spent the first decade of her life. At the age of ten, Boyle moved to London and it was here that she gleaned her artistic education, first at the Clapham School of Art and then, from 1929-34, at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting.Whilst still a student, Boyle won her first acceptance into the Royal Academy with a painting in 1932 and her skill later saw her being awarded a residency in Greece. She spent many years moving between countries, making frequent visits back to Ireland, before eventually relocating there permanently in 1971.Ever since she was a young child, Boyle was fascinated by natural patterns and this was the underlying rhythm to her work. In ‘Bishop’s Gate’, Boyle’s carefully executed brushstrokes generate the pattern of the brick, the layered paints playing with light as it simultaneously falls into crevices and glides across smoother surfaces. This beautiful patchwork is replicated on the slick pavement, wet with recent rain. The gloom of the grey chequered sky, just visible between a gap in the buildings is contrasted against the reflective light of the foreground. We are drawn inwards, moving from light to dark, until we are surrounded by the cityscape. Our feet dampen and we pull our coats tight around us, fearful of more rain to come.Through her understanding of colour and light, Boyle is able to expertly recreate a damp day in Derry. Her unique perspective affords a beauty to this man-made scene that would otherwise have been absent. We are forced to stop for a moment as we are invited to enjoy the rain, before darting onwards and resuming our search for shelter.

A rare mid-sixteenth Century Flemish allegorical Tapestry, depicting "The Choice of Hercules," 10.5 feet x 10.5 feet (126" x 126") 320cms x 320cms. (1) "The Choice of Hercules," tells the story of the popular Hero facing a dilemma over choosing between a life of pleasure or vice. The story became popular in the sixteenth century, after it was translated from the works of the Greek philosopher Podicus, as a model to encourage young men to choose virtue over vice. The scene takes place in the garden of a Renaissance palace with a view of a river in a verdant landscape, richly dotted with castles. Hercules (identified as Labor after his famous exploits) is seated at a banquet in the company of the gorgeously attired figure of Voluptas (Pleasure) and Venus with another unnamed goddess. The latter goddess is reminiscent of certain female figures who were active in the early sixteenth century. From behind the figure of Venus, her son Cupid (Amor) appears with flagons of wine which his mother distributes to the guests. At the upper right of the tapestry courtiers pair off for assignments in the direction of a tower, while over on the upper left side of the banquet a female appears to flee the attentions of another courtier. Meanwhile, a repoussoir female figure on the bottom right, in front of Amor, is apparently deep in slumber. The Tapestry has a rich floral border. Provenance: From the collection of the late Hurd Hatfield (1917-1998), the American actor best known for playing the lead role in the Oscar winning movie The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Mr. Hatfield lived latterly in Rathcormac in Co. Cork.
Lot 889
Harry Kernoff (1900-1974) "Bandstand, The Hollow, Phoenix Park, 1926" O.O.B., approx. 30cms x 40cms (12" x 15 1/2"), signed t.l. ‘Kernoff’. (1) Inscribed on verso: ‘The Hollow, Phoenix Park, Irish Free State Band, 1926; name H. A. Kernoff 13 Stamer St’ Bears Beverly Smith label on verso ‘Mr. Teevan, 3 Eglinton Rd.’ In this cheerful summer scene, set in ‘The Hollow’ in Dublin’s Phoenix Park, Harry Kernoff depicts an octagonal bandstand with a red roof, surrounded by an audience of onlookers who stand amidst the trees, listening to the music. In the left foreground, two women lean against a tree. Visible on the tree trunk is the shadow of a man; an enigmatic touch to this everyday scene. An inscription on the reverse of this painting states that the band playing was the ‘Irish Free State Band’. Perhaps the foremost visual chronicler of everyday life in Ireland in the twentieth century, like his English counterpart L. S. Lowry, Kernoff recorded the men, women and children of Dublin as they went about their daily routines, walking in parks, or by the canal, or heading out to the beach. However, unlike Lowry, Kernoff preferred to depict sunny days, with red-brick terraces, brightly coloured shopfronts and well-dressed people out and about, enjoying the sunshine. Paintings such as The Bandstand also reveal Kernoff’s sympathies with the working people of Dublin. He was a politically active artist, having joined the Radical Club and “Friends of Soviet Russia”. In 1930 he toured the USSR, and that same year several of his paintings were reproduced in the magazine Iskusstvo y massy, or “Art to the Masses”. In travelling to the Soviet Union, Kernoff was going back to his own family roots. Born into a Jewish family that fled pogroms in Belarus, Harry Kernoff’s father, Isaac Kernoff, set up as a cabinet maker in London. When Harry was fourteen years old, the family moved from Stepney to Dublin, where Isaac joined the cabinet-making firm of Louis Gurevich, on Capel Street. Settling in Stamer Street, while serving an apprenticeship with his father, Kernoff also attended evening classes at the Metropolitan School of Art, along with his brother Hyman. Over the years he showed frequently at the Dublin Painters gallery on Stephens Green, and also participated in group exhibitions, both in Ireland and abroad. From 1926 onwards, for almost five decades, he exhibited annually at the RHA, and he also had two solo shows with the Victor Waddington Galleries. Provenance: Collection of Thomas Teevan, Dublin. A distinguished lawyer and judge, Thomas Teevan served as Attorney General of Ireland in 1953-54. Peter Murray 2024

We understand the potential controversy surrounding this type of item but believe that providing transparent information about historical context fosters greater understanding of our complex cultural history. Originally handmade by mothers in Africa for their children from old fabric and cloth, the golly doll was adopted as the mascot and trademark for the Robertson's confectionery brand around 1910 after the company's founder John Robertson visited the US and noticed children playing with them. Robertson's Gollies have been collected by people across the UK and around the world for generations but garnered a contentious image in the 1980s because of links to racism. The trademark was removed from Robertson's branding in 2001.

Spanish Forger Musizierender Mann mit Kastenleier und Publikum. Malerei im Stil des Mittelalters auf altem Pergament. Frankreich um 1900. Schöne und charakteristische Miniatur des sogenannten Spanish Forger, einem der größten Nachahmer mittelalterlicher Buchkunst in neuerer Zeit. Der Künstler, über dessen Identitat bis heute nichts bekannt ist, lebte um 1900 vermutlich in Frankreich. Für seine qualitativ hochwertigen Miniaturen benutzte er meist Pergament aus alten Handschriften. Ein weiteres Kennzeichen ist der süßlich-heitere Ausdruck der dargestellten Gesichter, der untypisch ist für den ernsten und frommen Ausdruck mittelalterlicher Malereien. 'The Spanish Forger was one of the most skillful, successful, and prolific forgers of all time. Until recently his numerous panels, manuscripts, and single leaves were appreciated and admired as genuine fifteenth- and sixteenth-century works. Now they are increasingly sold and collected as forgeries' (Voelkle S. 9). - ILLUSTRATION: Blattgröße 23,5 : 16,5 cm. Recto Miniatur in farbiger Deckmalerei mit Goldauftrag, eingefaßt in farbiger weißgehöhter Bordüre mit Goldrauten. Verso Quadratnoten auf 4 roten Linien mit lat. Text und einer Fleuronnée-Initiale. - ZUSTAND: Auf Anfrage. - LITERATUR: Vgl. Voelkle, The Spanish Forger, L43 mit Abb. 168 (Jagdszene). Beautiful and characteristic miniature of the so-called Spanish Forger, one of the greatest imitators of medieval book art in modern times. Depicting a nice musical scene with a man playing a box-shaped hurdy-gurdy. Opaque color painting with gold application. On a vellum cutting, verso antiphonary notes with Latin text and a fleuronne initial. Sheet size 23,5 : 16,5 cm. Dieses Objekt wird regel- oder differenzbesteuert angeboten.
