attributed to Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760-1849) two sheets of preparatory drawings, ink on paper, one with two studies of an emaciated elderly man, one kneeling being bathed by a child, the other carrying a wooden bucket and towel, plus two studies of elegant ladies, 12 5/8 x 8¾in. (32 x 22.2cm.); the other with a variety of studies including two seated elderly men, a peacock, ducks and other birds, an angry child holding a rock, two labourers and others, 10¼ x 14 5/8in. (26 x 37.1cm.), both stamped in red katakana at the bottom corner with the collector's seal of Henri Vever, framed and glazed. (2)* These are believed to be two of a large series of drawings made by Hokusai for an unpublished book, c.1829, which had formerly been in the possession of the Parisian jeweller and collector of Japanese 19th century art, Henri Vever., whose collection was auctioned in Paris in 1948. A large group of over 100 of these drawings was rediscovered in a private collection in France in 2019 and acquired by the British Museum through a grant by the Art Fund.These drawings were executed at an important moment in Hokusai's career, in a period when he had suffered personal and financial strife and had previously been thought to have been relatively inactive in his artistic pursuits. It immediately preceded a renewed burst of creativity, which led to the famed print series 'Thirty-Six Views of Mt Fuji' (c.1831-1833).* Condition: Light toning to both sheets. Evidence of very light, occasional spotting and slight cockling,light creasing to the first, smaller sheet. The larger sheet with several, small insect holes towards the margins. Both sheets have been matted and framed to a very high standard by Galerie du Monde, Hong Kong.

Charles Frederick Buckley (British, 1812-1869) The Great Exhibition, Crystal Palace, London, 1851pencil, grey ink and watercolour with gum arabic, heightened with touches of bodycolour, indistinctly signed lower right, modern English hollow frame with shot ornament10 x 21 ¾in. (25.4 x 55.2cm.)* Provenance: M Newman, Duke Street, St James's, London gallery label. Purchased Christie's 18th November 2004, lot 123** Notes: This is the original watercolour after which George Baxter made his famous print of the Great Exhibition of 1851. The print was released on 5th May 1851 only five days after the Exhibition was opened by Queen Victoria on 1st May 1851, therefore Buckley must have executed this watercolour before the actual opening day. The watercolour differs in many ways from Baxter's print; some figures have been removed or replaced and notably the Union Jack in the watercolour was not included in the print. It was sold on Baxter's own stall at the Great Exhibition and for the print itself he was awarded an Honourable Mention. The view is taken from the south-east and shows the south side and east end of the Crystal Place situated in Hyde Park in London. The competition to design the building for the exhibition took place in 1850 however none of the entries were deemed satisfactory. Subsequently a design submitted by Joseph Paxton was amended by contractors and finally accepted by the commissioners. The building was 1,848 feet long and 408 feet wide and covered an area of nineteen acres. Six million people came to the exhibition which showcased the work of 17,000 exhibitors.One of the exhibitors was George Baxter himself, whose stall sold the print of this subject during the first few days of the Exhibition, for which he was awarded an 'Honourable Mention'. In 1854, Baxter produced nine prints entitled 'Gems of the Great Exhibition' including the present view.* Condition: Has not been examined out of the frame. Acidic mount, but no mount burn visible. Some toning visible across the sheet to the sky. A little very light spotting to sky in places. Colours remain very strong. Remnants of possible signature lower right is illegible. Two or three small spots of professional retouching suspected to paint at lower margin at corners, and also a couple to the side margins. These have been professionally executed
