BENJAMIN WILLIAMS LEADER, RA (1831-1923) A SUNNY AFTERNOON, NORTH WALES Signed and dated 'B.W. Leader 1864' in red ll, also signed and inscribed with title on a label on the stretcher, oil on canvas Sight 89.5 x 161cm.; back 91.5 x 162.5cm. Exhibited: London, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 1864, No.575. Provenance: Sold by the artist 1864 for £170. Possibly to the art Dealer Tomlinson. Private collection since at least 1920 Literature: B.W. Leader's 'Diary' 1864. B.W. Leader's 'Records of Paintings Sold' 1864 'Royal Academy Exhibition Catalogue' 1864. 'Art Journal' Vol.III, June 1864, page 167; February 1871, page 46. 'Times' 18 May 1864, page 10. Wood, R. (1989) 'Benjamin Williams Leader R.A. 1831-1923: His Life and Paintings'. Page 128. Subject: The location of 'A Sunny Afternoon, North Wales', according to the art critic writing in the Art Journal (1871), 'shows a reach of the River Llugwy'. This would be somewhere between Bettws-y-coed and Capel Curig. Leader painted a number of versions of the scene. There also exists Leader's initial pencil sketch which was drawn on location. It is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum (Print Room), London. Ref. No. E512-1969. Style: 'A Sunny Afternoon, North Wales' is a fine example of Leader's work, executed at a time when he much influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites. It dates from the period in the artist's career when he was concentrating on 'pure' landscape and reducing the genre element which had been so marked in his work of the 1850s. The Pre-Raphaelites' passion for visual and expressional clarity, and the frequent opting for a summer setting, can be seen in Leader's Welsh landscape. He has paid close attention to detail and used bright prismatic colours applied to a white ground to ensure maximum illumination. But, at the same time the artist was attempting to develop his own style of painting, being very aware that the art critics reviewing works of art at the main exhibition venues were tired of Pre-Raphaelitism, especially the exaggerated labour on the minutiae. Landscapes which gave more attention to the whole were applauded and the art critic writing for 'The Art Journal' highly praised Leader's 'A Sunny Afternoon, North Wales' on display the 1864 Royal Academy Exhibition for its attention to the whole. He stated "This is a careful, studious, unpretending work, in which breadth does not sacrifice detail, nor does detail destroy effect. It is a picture wherein no trick of composition intrudes, for nature seems to grow unchecked by the hand of man, and unconscious of the beauties wherein she is clothed" (Quote from A.J. June 1864, p.167) We are extremely grateful to Ruth Wood for preparing this catalogue entry. £12000-18000

Candelabrum, decorated with two rams` heads, within wreath of flowers. The wreath incorporates two bucrania and three pateras, one of which is directly above, almost resting on, the candelabrum. BM 684. Paris 1013. Cohen 2 (Caius Caesar, 30 Fr.). RIC 540 (R2). High relief portrait. Beautifully toned. Good EF Ex Berk 165, 28 July 2009, lot 302 Mattingly in BMC I (1923, pp. cxxvi f.) thought that the portrait of this coin must certainly represent a youthful Augustus rather than Caius Caesar, but he was unable to decide where and when the coin might have been struck and how it should be interpreted. Giard in his Paris catalogue (1976, p. 45) thought the youthful portrait and candelabrum reverse type might relate to the Saecular Games, so dated the coin to 17 BC. R. Prideaux (Triton XI, 8 January 2008, lot 829) suggested that the reverse type was actually funereal, so might refer to the death of Agrippa in Pannonia in 12 BC, the coin being an emergency issue produced in Pannonia for the army soon after that event

On this coin Magnentius usually wears a diadem composed of rosettes alternating with pairs of laurel leaves. Our coin, however, shows him wearing a laurel wreath only, with a single rosette or medallion at the top of the wreath. Somewhat corroded, otherwise VF The usurpation of Nepotian at Rome against Magnentius lasted only thirty days, apparently in c. May-June 351 AD, not 350 as traditionally stated. The obverse legend on our coin stresses Nepotian`s descent from the family of Constantine the Great: he was the son of Constantine`s sister Eutropia
