Gian Carlo Sensani (Italian, 1888-1947) Portrait of Mrs Christine Mavrogordato, oil on canvas, 52 x 42cm (20.28 x 16.38in). Provenance: By descent within the family of the sitter. Gian Carlo Sensani was a painter and wood engraver active in Florence. He was born in San Casciano dei Bagni, Siena, on 26 February 1888. He was self-taught and worked a great deal in the theatre. His work is represented in the Galleria d`Arte Moderna, Rome. He began his career in Rome as a costume designer, working for the Marionette del Teatro dei Piccoli (Children`s Puppet Theatre). He was also a theatre designer (a drawing for scenery in a production of Donizetti`s Elisir d`amore was recently offered for sale by Gonnelli auctioneers, Florence, lot 923, fetching €1200). From 1933, he regularly contributed stage designs to the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Festival, Florence, and later worked for the Scala in Milan (his designs for the stage sets of Prokofiev`s Cinderella were used following his death). Perhaps his greatest artistic contribution was as a wood engraver. Not only did he show these prints in art exhibitions, but they also featured as book illustrations as well as in anthologies of prints. In this connection, it is worth singling out for special mention the whole issue of the journal L`Eroica devoted to his woodcuts, published at the end of 1913. His paintings are generally rare and of interest to only a small, specialist circle of collectors. For the artist`s work, and a major exhibition in 1990, see especially M.Bucci/C.Bartoletti, Gino Carlo Sensani: pittore per il Teatro, 1888-1947. Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi, Florence, 1990. The exhibion catalogue was issued by the prestigous Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe of the Uffizi: "Gino Carlo Sensani: Pittore per il Teatro, 1888-1947", exhibition catalogue 28 Aprile-30 Giugno 1990 (Maggio Musicale Fiorentino)., The present portrait shows the influence of Fauvism at this interesting period of Italian art in the early part of the 20th Century. The portrait was painted of Mrs Mavrogordato whilst she was on her wedding trip to Florence on 11 March 1915. Both Mrs Mavrogordato and her husband, John, were patrons of the arts, and great friends of the artist, Mark Gertler, who holidayed with the family regularly at their home in Dorset.

A rare Hutchings Concord Romany -style Caravan She`s known affectionately as Rosie and since 1919, this now rare Hutchings Concord Romany-style caravan has brought pleasure to generations of holiday-makers. Rosie comes from a caring home and is steeped in history. Her present owner purchased her in 2002 and gave her an extensive facelift to put her back into roadworthy condition. Once back on the road,she was seen regularly in the lanes around her home and at caravan rallies across the south of England. It is believed she is the second oldest caravan of her type still in roadworthy condition. Rosie was built by caravanning pioneer Bertram Hutchings of 5 Elm Road, Winchester, founder of the Winchester Caravan Company, who started making caravans in the early 1900s. Intitially, they were Showman`s vans whose massive construction required a team of horses or a steam-powered traction engine to pull them. Hutchings subsequently designed the lightweight Concord capable of being pulled by one small horse, paving the way to leisure touring. The idea of taking a holiday in a horse-drawn caravan became popular in Edwardian England and was the inspiration behind the formation of the Caravan Club in 1907.Hutchings launched a holiday hire business in the New Forest but the First World War intervened. Recognising that the days of the horse-drawn van were numbered, Hutchings started to consider the options. Because of the lightweight nature of the original Concord design, he realised there would be a demand for a similar vehicle to be towed by a motor vehicle. An archive photograph exists which shows a two-compartment "Concord" van on a four-wheel trailer with wheels shod with pneumatic tyres. It is probable that "Rosie", is one of only two of these vans to be produced with pneumatic tyres and spring ratings, which would enable it to be towed successfully by a car, making Rosie the second oldest caravan of her type still in roadworthy condition. Said its owner. "Rosie is a delight to tow being very stable and light and is guaranteed to excite comment at the campsite or rally field. PROVENANCE; Removed from More Place, Wonham Lane, Betchworth, Surrey for convenience of sale.
