Bartholomew Colles Watkins RHA (1833 - 1891) Driving Cattle, Upper Lake, Killarney Oil on canvas, 85 x 119cm (33½ x 46¾'') Signed and dated 1869 Bartholomew Colles Watkins, described by Julian Campbell as the most prominent Irish academic landscapist of the second half of the nineteenth century, was born in Dublin in 1833, the son of Joseph Dowsley Watkins and his wife Louisa Jane. He attended the RDS schools where he was awarded a medal in 1849. As a young man and while living in Dublin he made regular painting trips to the surrounding counties specialising in river landscapes in the Romantic tradition of James Arthur O'Connor. By the late 1850s he had begun visiting the south west of the country, particularly West Cork and Kerry. Julian Campbell notes that he was inspired by the dramatic scenery around Glengarriff, Killarney, the Gap of Dunloe and the Mangerton Mountains. The present work, painted in 1869 is a view in the Gap of Dunloe and sees Watkins return to the Romantic tradition which he had experimented with in his younger years. In 1860 he visited Norway and was apparently inspired by its panoramic scenery. The drama of the snow-capped peaks and the brooding sprawling Kerry mountains convey a Continental feeling, and one not generally associated with the Irish landscape while the narrow winding road with the stone bridge and with the addition of the cattle drover and his herd, coupled with the roadside cottage in the distance grounds the composition, adds scale and provides a unique Co. Kerry identity. Watkins' remarkable attention to detail is what sets him apart from his peers but it was this quality that Walter Strickland seemed to be critical of when he wrote 'He carefully built up his pictures, working on small portions before he touched the rest, with the result that his pictures are over-elaborated, the details too minutely painted, and are wanting in breadth and artistic feeling'. We are grateful to Dr Julian Campbell, whose writings formed the basis of this note.

Louis le Brocquy HRHA (1916-2012) Mille Tetes B, No.1929 Aubusson tapestry, Tabard Frères et Soeurs, 180 x 230cm (71 x 90½'') Signed and dated 1973 Edition 1/9 Le Brocquy's journey with the medium of the woven tapestry began in 1948 when he was invited by The Edinburgh Tapestry Weavers to design one along with other artists. This experience, while introducing him to a whole new artistic medium, also left him less than satisfied and hungry for greater involvement in the entire design process. This kind of artistic control can be seen in other projects carried out by Le Brocquy such as when he collaborated with printers on illustrations for books, The Táin or The Playboy of the Western World, providing extraordinarily detailed notes on the design but also particularly on the colour tones used. Tapestry art was having somewhat of a renaissance in the twentieth century, becoming a medium, which was increasingly attractive to progressive modernist artists. French artist Jean Lucrat had pioneered this approach in tapestry design some years earlier, developing a technique, which prioritised the material as the guiding principle for the design rather than an attempt to make the tapestry conform to the characteristics of the painted image. Le Brocquy was drawn to Lucrat'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. He had already collaborated on numerous occasions with the workshop of Tabard Frères et Soeurs in the Aubusson region. In 1973 he resumed working on a new series based on the themes and imagery of The Táin. This resulted in the Cúchulainn tapestries, which emerged in various iterations over the following decades. Milles Tetes B (Thousand Heads) is a distinctive example of both Le Brocquy's sustained interest in representing the human head and the visual effect of inverting colour and tone. The stylized heads arranged in rows, suggestive of some massing force, are distinctive, drawn with their own features and characteristics. Yet through their repeated presence across the woven surface, they blend into one another to create 'a mass of human presence' (Dorothy Walker, Louis Le Brocquy, Dublin, 1981, p.51). The dark austerity of the Tain's illustrations are replaced here by vibrant colours. The shift in tone from bold primary colours in the centre to paler hues creates a dramatic effect. In this work, Le Brocquy was able to explore the interdependence of form, colour and narrative content on a very large scale. Each tapestry in the series examines this harmony differently. The longer you observe it, the more visually receptive it becomes. The shifting inversion of the colours and tones creates the impression of an outline of shadowy figure, emerging from the background. As Le Brocquy remarked on this effect on the human eye, Further to the emotional character of single and interrelated colour, lies the magic of colour inversion. Staring fixedly at a colour or colours, the saturated eye - shifting to a white surface - precisely inverts those colours both in hue and tonally. A retinal 'memory' emerges inverted, an entirely new perception as contrary as night from day.

It was produced from 1940 through to the mid-1960's, mostly in yellow gold with some examples being cased in pink gold and stainless steel. The case was made by the company Taubert & Fils who in 1924 had purchased the Borgel case making business along with Francois Borgel's case designs. The collaboration with Taubert led to one of the most distinctive early chronograph case designs featuring a screw down back with a large distinctive hexagonal raised section to aid firm closing of the two piece case. This example also features unusual and attractive star-burst capped chronograph pushers. The reference is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, Second Edition, p.267.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

They were both available with standard dials and also with what we now refer to as 'Paul Newman' dial. The nickname was coined some years after the actor's appearance in the film 'Winning' and initially these 'exotic' dials did not find commercial success resulting in a limited production run.The 'Paul Newman' dial is characterised by square markers in the chronograph scale and subsidiary dials. The present reference also features a 'panda' dial, so called because of its contrasting black and white dial and, as with the current example, the much sought after screw-down chronograph pushers.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

To further enhance legibility on the dial, the subsidiary dials were printed in a different colour than the main dial. Early models featured only the designation 'Cosmograph' on the dial, with 'Daytona' being added to later series, after Rolex became associated with the NASCAR car races.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 524

Greenwood Map of the County of Westmorland dated January 1st 1824, handcoloured and with an illustration of the view of Appleby with original leather slip case. Published by George Pringle of London. CONDITION REPORT: Map dimensions 100.5 cm x 121 cm open. The map dimensions are 100.5 cm x 121 cm open. It is therefore the large scale map. The folds are in generally good order and there are only very minor scuffs and losses, more so around the green bound edges. The map itself is a little yellowed and has some traces of staining and foxing but is generally in fairly good order. The back of the map is more visibly stained and yellowed and has foxing marks and liquid damage. We cannot see any perforations in the folds. The leather case is structurally solid but has numerous scuffs, scratches and marks and is dented at all corners. There are some losses to the leather and again particularly at the corners.
