George Russell AE (1867 - 1935)Children Playing in a Woodland GladeOil on canvas, 53.5 x 81.5cm (21 x 32")SignedProvenance: Collection of the Late President Erskine Childers, thence by descentThe Garden of Eden has haunted the imagination ever since the Book of Genesis gave us those descriptions of an idyllic world. In Eden grew ‘every plant’ and ‘every tree that is pleasant to the sight’. It’s a place imagined by artists through the centuries and behind many paintings of beautiful, natural landscapes shimmers that ideal garden where everything was once perfect and carefree. George Russell [Æ] born Lurgan, County Armagh in 1867, painted many ideal landscapes. The Russell family moved to Dublin when George was eleven years old and during summers spent with an aunt or with maternal grandparents in rural Armagh, Russell began to paint in watercolour. Educated at Edward Power’s school on Harrington St and at Rathmines School, as a talented thirteen-year old he was admitted to evening classes at Dublin Metropolitan School of Art and it was there that he met W.B. Yeats. When Æ died Yeats confided ‘Æ was my oldest friend. We began our work together.’Painter, poet, dramatist, novelist, critic, theosophist, mystic, economist and Irish nationalist, George Russell, a true polymath, worked as a draper’s clerk, later worked for the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society, established co-operative banks and he edited, from 1905 to1923, the Irish Homestead, a progressive journal of the Irish Co-operative movement, a journal, in Diarmaid Ferriter’s words, that was ‘generally optimistic about the potential for rural Ireland to develop, but only if the populace would organise in the manner of its European neighbours’. Russell, or Æ, also declared, in New York, that cities were ‘an actual danger to life itself’. ‘The decay’ he said, ‘of civilisation comes from the neglect of agriculture’. Æ believed that ‘[t]here is a need to create, consciously, a rural civilisation adding that ‘[y]ou simply cannot aid the farmers in an economic way and neglect the cultural and educational part of country life, or else the children will continue to leave for the city.’ During a tour of Canada, Kenneth Leslie, a Nova Scotia poet, thought Æ ‘as ready to talk of fat cattle and creamery butter as of Yeats and Lady Gregory’.Oil portraits by Æ included those of Iseult Gonne and Mary Colum, there are charcoal drawings of W.B. Yeats and he painted oil on plaster murals at the Theosophical Society of Ireland headquarters in Ely Place. But he is best known for his landscapes real and imagined. There are representational, atmospheric works such as Clouds Over The Hill, Evening In The Fields, Boglands, Swans at Coole, Landscape North of Muckish, County Donegal and Æ also painted visionary, mystical scenes inspired by his interest in the Tuatha Dé Danann, sea and tree spirits.Æ’s undated painting Children Playing in a Woodland Glade contains four young female figures in gold, red, white and blue dresses. Other undated idyllic sylvan scenes such as Figures in Woodland or Gathering Firewood include girls and women wearing bright colours - blue, red, orange, purple. This work features a woodland scene with figures in bright clothes. The smooth woodland floor is lit with brilliant, dappled sunlight and the tall tree trunks with their splashes of brightness are dazzlingly lit. Overhead, the delicate, young, green leaves suggest springtime and the eye is drawn beyond the figures in the foreground to wander among the slender and broader tree trunks. Compositionally, there is a lovely contrast between the still figure kneeling on the left and the “ring-a-ring-a-rosying” trio on the right. The blue and red dressed figures are older and taller, the girl in blue is quietly concentrating on the forest floor, the girl in red exudes an energy and her two companions in purple and white are totally absorbed in play. Details are deliberately vague. Faces are rendered impressionistically rather than realistically and none of the figures looks at the viewer. They are too caught up in their own joy. And their clothes are captured with a beautiful painterliness.  In The Opal and the Diamond, AE describes how he felt ‘one warm summer evening lying idly on the hillside, not then thinking of anything but the sunlight’. He knew at that moment that ‘the Golden Age was all about me, and it was we who had been blind to it but that it had never passed away from the world’. A painting such as this reminds us of such a sun-bright, golden world. It is a glimpse of Eden.His monogrammed signature, lower right, is the very same as on the autograph tree at Coole Park next to Yeats’s, Æ being an abbreviation of Aeon meaning ‘vital force’, ‘life’, ‘a lifelong quest’. [When Æ appears as a character in Ulysses, smarty-pants Stephen Dedalus borrows some money from him and quips A.E. I. O. U.]Æ married Violet North in 1898. They had three sons one who died soon after being born. After his wife died Æ moved to England. He died in Bournemouth and in an Obituary P.G. Browne wrote ‘his going leaves a blank not easy to fill. He had many friends (he had NO enemies) made during the course of his worldly activities’. Nicknamed The Hairy Fairy and Strayed Angel, Patrick Kavanagh called Æ ‘a great and holy man’. He is buried in Mount Jerome. There’s a commemorative bust by Jerome Connor in Merrion Square and his work is in many collections including the Hugh Lane, the NGI, the Abbey Theatre, Trinity College, University of Texas and Winnipeg Art Gallery, Canada.Niall MacMonagle, October 2022

Louis Le Brocquy HRHA (1916 - 2012)The Garlanded GoatWool Tapestry, Tabard Frères et Soeurs, Aubuson 1950155 x 128.5cm (59 x 50½")The design for The Garlanded Goat derives from an earlier painting from 1949 by le Brocquy titled Goat in Snow now held in the Leeds City Art Gallery. The tapestry draws on the same composition positioning the animal standing and turning its head back to look at us. In this example the goat’s horns are also festooned with a garland of flowers. This practice of adorning the animal has links to the ancient pagan festival Puck Fair which continues to take place in Killorglin, Co. Kerry each August. In pre-Christian times it was associated with the Celtic festival of Lughnasa, signalling the beginning of the harvest season with the goat as a symbol for fertility.Le Brocquy produced this work in 1950 as a series of nine tapestries. He collaborated with the French workshop Tabard Frères et Soeurs in the Aubusson region, who had specialised in the production of tapestries since the 17th century. Le Brocquy would become enamoured with the medium and return to it many times throughout his career. He was influenced by the artist Jean Lurçat who had pioneered this approach in tapestry design some years earlier, developing a technique, which prioritised the material as the guiding principle rather than an attempt to make the tapestry conform to the characteristics of the painted image. Le Brocquy was drawn to Lurçat’s example, whereby he could create very detailed and colour coded templates that the weavers would follow with exact precision. He rejected the painted cartoon in favour of a full-scale linear design. This allowed him to directly indicate each transition of colour and tone in the woven fabric.There are clear influences from the cubist tradition in the work, with le Brocquy playing with the contours of the goat’s body, offering us a multiplicity of viewpoints at one time. Our sense of perspective is not fixed in one place but rather constantly shifting across the work. This present example also represents the beginning of his exploration into the interdependence of form, colour and narrative content which would characterise his tapestry works. As a symbol of fertility and abundance, le Brocquy has depicted the goat surrounded by a plentiful border of leaves and set against a warm yellow background, with the sun high in the sky. The body of the goat is made of up of a range of different and unusual tones, dark green, grey and pink while his face and horns are a mass of floral pattern.Niamh Corcoran, November 2022

An extremely rare pair of Meissen red-ground bottle vases, circa 1735Each of globular form with a long, slightly flared neck, the body reserved with three shaped quatrelobe cartocuches framed in brown and painted with elaborate chinoiserie landscape scenes, one vase with a bird in flight and flowering branch reserved on the red ground, the lower body and shoulder reserved with a broad band edged with brown lines and painted with a few scattered leaves and flowers and flowering branches of indianische Blumen, respectively, the rims with gilt bands, 37.5cm high, AR monograms in underglaze-blue, incised x (for Johann Daniel Rehschuh), inventory nos. B.n. 17 and B.n. 18 in black, one with paper label numbered in pencil 749 (some scattered minor scratches) (2)Footnotes:Provenance:Catalina von Pannwitz Collection, 'De Hartekamp', Heemstede, The Netherlands (purchased from Alfons Heilbronner, Berlin, in 1924)This form of bottle vase appears to have been made exclusively for the Dresden court (all are marked with the AR monogram for Augustus Rex). The form was made in several sizes (the present lot is the largest), most commonly with a sea-green or turquoise ground colour for the Japanese Palace in Dresden. Bottle vases of this large size, painted in imitation of a Chinese original in the collection of Augustus the Strong, were delivered to the Palace by July 1734, and another five of the same size with a turquoise or celadon ground colour were delivered in 1737. A similarly large bottle in the Rijksmuseum is decorated with the only known example of a marbled green ground. Walter von Pannwitz also owned two slightly smaller pairs of bottle vases with a similar decorative scheme as the present lot: the first with a seeded yellow ground reserved with indianische Blumen, and the second with a similar blue ground (sold by Galerie Helbing in Munich, 24-25 October 1905, lots 388-89 and 390-91; the first pair is now in the Rijksmuseum (A.L. den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum (2000), no. 193) and the second pair was sold by Christie's Geneva, 9 November 1987, lots 148-9).Numerous ground colours were developed by J.G. Höroldt for the Meissen manufactory in the late 1720s: a 1731 list of porcelain painted by Höroldt as samples or models for his painters includes examples of twelve different ground colours including red (C. Boltz, Höroldts Malereimodelle von 1731, in Keramos 158 (1997), pp. 3-24). Red is one of the rarer ground colours on Meissen porcelain and known mostly in combination with European landscape scenes dating to the early 1740s. These vases belong to the earliest examples: the only other recorded example with similar chinoiserie decoration is the ovoid Augustus Rex vase and cover that was sold by Paul Graupe, Berlin, 27-29 May 1935, lot 466 (see illustration). Five vases from a garniture painted with flowers, animals and insects reserved on a red ground are published by U. Pietsch, Phantastische Welten (2014), nos. 31-35 (of which two are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York).This style of chinoiserie decoration has been described as 'contour' chinoiseries (to distinguish it from the more common style of chinoiserie decoration associated with J.G. Höroldt, see A.L. den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum (2000), p. 259) and has been associated with the painter A.F. von Löwenfinck, who was active at Meissen until 1736. The style is based on prints by Augsburg publishers, such a Johann Christoph Weigel, but has been most closely associated with the series 'Nieuwe geinventeerde Sineesen published in Amsterdam and Leipzig by Petrus Schenk and his son (A.L. den Blaauwen, Keramik mit Chinoiserien nach Stichen von Petrus Schenk Jun., in Keramos 31 (1966), pp. 3-18). In the case of these vases, only the figure of the monkey appears to be derived from the title page of the Schenk series. Two figures playing blind man's buff and the standing figure with the monkey appear together on a plate in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (Inv. BK-17367). See also J. Weber, Porzellanmalerei nach Pieter Schenk und Johann Christoph Weigel, in C. Bischoff/P. Kuhlmann-Hodick, La Chine Die China-Sammlung des 18. Jahrhunderts im Dresdner Kupferstick-Kabinett (2021), pp. 202f, and five vases from a yellow-ground garniture decorated in similar style in the Porzellansammlung, Dresden (inv. no.

September 1933’, in case of issue, extremely fine (6) £400-£500 --- Bristol Humane Society: ‘Resolved that a Silver Watch together with this the Honorary Testimonial of the Society inscribed on Parchment be given to Richard William Alford, age 14, of 39 Colston Rod, Easton, Bristol, for having on the 10th Day of September 1933 gone to the rescue of Kenneth William Rundle, age 7, of 22 Wellington Street, Cathay, Bristol, who was in imminent danger of drowning in the Floating Harbour, Bristol, and whose life he gallantly saved.’ Richard William Alford was born in Bristol on 5 March 1919, and at the time of his gallant rescue was a member of 123rd Bristol Scouts Troop. A detailed account of his rescue appeared in the Bristol Evening World: ‘Richard Alford, of Colston Road, Easton, dived fully dressed into 20 feet of water, swam under a barge, and rescued a child of seven who was sinking for the third time. Kenneth William Rundle, aged seven, of Wellington Street, Cathay, was playing with other boys in the Grove, near the City Docks, when he fell in. Young Alford heard the cries of the other boys and ran to the spot where he saw Rundle disappearing. Without a moment’s hesitation he dived in fully dressed, swimming under a barge to reach the lad. He towed the boy to the bank and both were taken to the river police station. Dry clothes were brought by their parents and they were taken home apparently unharmed after their experience. Alford’s chief concern was in the fact hat he had ruined his new suit and lost his weekly pocket money consisting of a shilling- the coin apparently slipping out of his pocket as he dived into the water. When his mother arrived with fresh clothing at the riverside police station he apologised for spoiling his suit, adding: ‘I did not have time to think when I saw the chap drowning’. (Bristol Evening World, 11 September 1933 refers). For his gallantry in rescuing Kenneth Rundle, as well as having previously rescued a 22-year-old man who had got into difficulties whilst bathing at Easton the previous month, Alford was awarded the Boy Scouts Association Silver Cross, and was presented with his medal by the Lord Mayor of Bristol on 20 November 1933. Following the outbreak of the Second World War, Alford attested for the Somerset Light Infantry on 19 October 1939, and after three years’ service at home was posted to the Maritime Regiment, Royal Artillery, on 21 November 1942. He served for the rest of the War at sea in the Defence of Merchant Shipping, and was promoted Lance Bombardier. He was released to Class ‘A’ Reserve on 2 May 1946, and died in Bristol on 23 July 1988. Sold with copied research.
