ExhibitedLondon, Royal Academy Winter Exhibition, The works of the late Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A., 1874, no. 368.LiteratureA. Graves, (ed), Catalogue of the Works of the late Sir Edwin Landseer, 1874, p. 8. Sir Edwin Landseer began exhibiting at the Royal Academy at the age of 16, his diverse subjects including historical genre, portraits, caricatures, Scottish scenes and animal paintings. In the 1830s, paintings of 'The Noble Dog' were prominent in Landseer's oeuvre, to such an extent that the black and white variant of the Newfoundland breed became known as 'The Landseer'. Large breeds of dogs such as Newfoundlands and St. Bernards were particularly popular in early 19th century society. Landseer's paintings of Newfoundlands are now in various public collections, notably Venus (1819) was recently acquired by the Russell-Cotes Museum and Lion (1823) in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum. The Newfoundland in the present lot is Neptune, a dog whom Landseer painted a number of times during this period; see for example Christie's, London, 12 December 2013, lot 31, a larger scale depiction of Neptune which was commissioned by the banker W.D. Gosling. Neptune is also depicted in The Twa Dogs which was gifted by John Sheepshanks to the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1857. The present lot was exhibited in the Royal Academy Winter Exhibition and sold in Landseer's studio sale in 1874. Landseer adeptly captures the dogs's character in the present lot; as Richard Ormond notes 'Landseer's detailed anatomical knowledge – his wonderful feeling for the character and texture of animal life – satisfied the quasi-scientific outlook of his audience, while his visual stories allowed uninhibited enjoyment of loving and faithful dogs in a wide range of dramatic situations' (Richard Ormond, Sir Edwin Landseer, London, 1981, p. 94).We are grateful to Richard Ormond for his assistance cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * P* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.P This lot is owned by a private individual.

Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Bt., ARA, RWS (British, 1833-1898)Study for An Untold Dream signed, inscribed and dated 'EB-J/1895/for the dream.' (lower right)pencil43 x 34cm (16 15/16 x 13 3/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Fine Art Society, London.Thomas Agnew & Sons.Herbert Minton Robinson (1858-1923) Collection, UK.Thence by descent.ExhibitedLondon, The Fine Art Society, Studies & Drawings by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, Bart., April 1896, probably no. 58.This study of the head and hair of a young woman – her face seen in near profile and towards the right – relates to one of the girl's heads that form the composition of Burne-Jones's late oil subject An Untold Dream (alternatively known as The Uninterpreted Dream or Spirits) (Etienne Breton, Saint-Honoré Art Consulting, Paris). In the painting, the heads of four girls, each with flowing golden hair, are seen against a mass of blue-grey draperies. Each faces to the right and together they seem to be watching something or someone outside the picture space. The motif of watchfulness connects the subject with canvases that the artist had in hand in the last years of his life such as The Sirens (Ringling Museum, Sarasota, Florida), in which mythological subject young women draw mariners to their fate, or the side panels intended to accompany the great Arthurian composition, The Sleep of King Arthur in Avalon (Museo de Arte de Ponce, Puerto Rico), and in which are shown the figures of hill fairies, male on the right and female on the left, watching the byre upon which the king's body lies (see Peter Nahum, Burne-Jones – A Quest for Love, exhibition catalogue, 1993, no. 25). An Untold Dream seems to have no specific narrative subject, but serves as an exercise in mood and as such forms a personal decorative scheme. The present drawing corresponds most closely to the head of the girl shown at the left centre of the arrangement, and the hair of which figure is similarly swept back.An Untold Dream remained in Burne-Jones's possession until his death and was included in the Christie's sale of the contents of his studio in 1898. Shortly afterwards, it appeared on the art market in New York, later entering a private collection in the United Kingdom, until 2010 when it was sold at Sotheby's in London. In 2018 the painting was shown as number 153 in the Burne-Jones exhibition at Tate Britain. Whether or not a more finished version of the subject was intended is unknown. The present drawing's inscribed date – 1895 – provides evidence as to when the oil version was commenced. The present drawing was included in an exhibition of Burne-Jones drawings and studies at the Fine Art Society, probably that which occurred in 1896 and which must have drawn on material taken directly from the artist's studio. There are various items listed in the catalogue of the 1896 exhibition which might correspond to the present subject, but the best candidate is that entitled Study of Head for Unfinished Picture, which was no. 58 in the catalogue. The drawing was at some point handled by Agnew's, and later acquired by Herbert Minton Robinson (1858-1923) – director of the Minton china and pottery manufacturer in Stoke-on-Trent. This is a very beautiful and characteristic drawing from Burne-Jones's late career. Although related to the composition identified above, it may well have been regarded as a work of art in its own right, on the grounds of completeness and scale, and is of the type that was most highly prized in the 1890s and in the first decade of the 20th century for the delicacy of the artist's drawing technique and for the wistful poignancy of its image. We are grateful to Christopher Newall for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: PP This lot is owned by a private individual.

Property of a lady; acquired from her son; previously with TimeLine Auctions Sale 77, lot 2072; formerly Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket); ex Cotswold collection. Chris Rudd notes: 'This seems to be a miniature version of a de Jersey class 4 stater, possibly with a boar below and certainly with a banner before the horse. The big difference is the horse's neck which is represented by a large double scroll (or are these meant to be reins?"). Commenting on these excessively rare quarter staters Dr Philip de Jersey says: 'It is apparent that these were small-scale, extremely localised issues, with the same type rarely known from more than a couple of sites. The sites on which most have been found are predominantly ritual locations, notably fana and for that reason it is difficulty to accept Gruel and Taccoën's suggestion that the coins are 'un element indispensable à une monétarisation réelle des échanges commerciaux'. It is far more likely that the function of these coins was intimately bound up with the site itself, perhaps as a special form offering, since they do not generally appear in the contexts one would expect if they were really evidence of monetarisation. The date of these issues is almost certainly post-conquest, Gruel and Taccoën suggest 40-10 BC - and thus the coinage represents the only significant indigenous production of the post-war years' (Coinage in Iron Age Amorica, 1994, p.115)'. Very fine/near extremely fine. Extremely rare; unpublished in major catalogues.
