The sheer number of different forms they took over a period of five decades clearly demonstrates the enduring hold they had on the artist.Mobiles and beasts constructed of welded iron, rods and plaster in the early 1950s soon gave way to the first figures. Initially, they emerged all spindly legs and small, heraldic heads, maintaining an architectural feel. But in the following years the now familiar wings and square flat heads appeared, progressing later into the first seated works of the 1960s. Moving through the decade, the concept was explored further - certain body parts became polished, heads grew taller and multi-faceted, trunks and legs thicker. Later, in the early 1970s, a clear sexual differentiation was established – square head for male, triangular for female.Sitting Figures in Robes I dates from 1980 by which point, Chadwick was truly master of his chosen subject. Here, the couple sit together resting quietly, separate from one other and their seat. Their dignified pose is supported by the cloaks they wear, anchoring them to ground and the faces are, as always, blank, with the artist once declaring 'No expression is an expression' (Lynn Chadwick: The Couple, Exh.cat., Pangolin London, 2011, p.3). The body language is comfortable with the figure's legs at ease and their cloaks spilling over the edges of their seat, the overall impression being one of peace and content.We are grateful to the Artist's Estate for their assistance in cataloguing this work.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 34

Late American Spanish school, circa 1300."Virgin as Sedes sapientiae".Carved and polychromed wood.It presents damage caused by xylophagous and leaps in the carving and polychromy.Measurements: 79 x 32 x 29 cm.The carving presents the couple formed by the Virgin with her Son on her lap. It is a carving that follows the typology of the "Sede Sapientiae" or "Throne of Wisdom". Mary, seated facing the viewer, acts as the throne, the seat of Christ, the supreme incarnation of Wisdom. No emotional communication of any kind is established between the two figures, but rather the majesty, the regal aspect of both figures is encouraged. Christ, dressed in a long robe, makes the gesture of blessing with his right hand, while with his left he holds The Gospels. It was also common in medieval carvings that, together with the gesture of blessing, the Child held a sphere, symbol of the totality, of the Universe, which would allude to his condition of "Salvator mundi". Mary, for her part, is depicted wearing a long tunic and cloak that fall in symmetrical folds to the ground. A veil covers her hair, framing her serene and harmonious face. In Christian exegesis, if Eve was the introducer of Sin, Mary is its counter-figure, through whom salvation comes to the human race, thanks to her son, Jesus. Formally, the delicate workmanship of their faces stands out, as well as the soft flesh tones that highlight their cheeks. The remains of polychromy still visible on the Virgin's attire speak of a careful decorative style.Romanesque is the name given to the first great period of medieval art in Europe (the western part), but it is not a uniform aesthetic movement throughout the territory, neither in aesthetics nor in chronology. In the Iberian Peninsula, it is necessary to speak of Visigothic art (from the 5th century until the Muslim conquest, approximately), Asturian art (area of the Principality of Asturias, without Muslim domination, between the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 10th century), Mozarabic art (of the Christians who lived in Muslim territory, from 711 to the end of the 11th century) and not forgetting Islamic Andalusian art, given that, chronologically, we are between the 5th or 5th centuries AD and the 10th or 11th centuries. Romanesque sculpture pursues mainly didactic aims, and its images are conceived as a visual narrative, which must always be clearly legible. At this time, prior to the quest for naturalism that would emerge during the Gothic period, the language is purely conceptual, and functions on the basis of symbols and conventions accepted by all. In this sense, anatomy is synthetic, representative rather than a reflection of the natural, as is the treatment of the face.

After having gambled away his inheritance, Tarleton had purchased a commission in the 1st Dragoon Guards and served with Bertie during the occupation of Philadelphia in the American Wars of Independence, where his ruthless reputation earned him the sobriquet 'Bloody Ban'. When Bertie died young at the age of 22, the young Susan was taken in by her paternal grandmother, Mary Bertie the dowager Duchess of Ancaster and Kesteven at Grimsthorpe Castle. A sketch of the castle accompanied by a verse titled 'An Epilogue' comprises the first item in the book. The couple met in 1798 at Houghton Hall in Norfolk then, as now, the seat of Lord Cholmondeley, Susan's uncle by marriage, and were married three months later. Well-educated, pretty, accomplished in drawing, music and languages, reckless in many ways but disapproving of drinking and gambling, she was a vivacious and popular member of London society. Her marriage to the virtually penniless soldier older than her own father and with a notorious reputation raised many eyebrows at the time but their thirty-five year marriage stood the test. She accompanied him to Portugal, Ireland and throughout postings in England until his retirement and they ended their married life at Leintwardine in Herefordshire, which features several times in our book as an earthly paradise ('...A ray of heav'nly light is thine, Seen in thy works at Lintwardine...'). Their fondness for each other is also evident in several of the verses –- in 'To Lady Tarleton' he writes 'By ambition tormented, by fortune sore crossed/ Without little Sue, I had paradise lost/ Although deep sunk in debt, yet my fame was unstained/ And winning Sweet Susan, I paradise gained/ B.T.', but a flash of the old rake is still evident in his verse 'On Women' - 'You are stars of the night, you are gems of the morn... Her smile is our need, or her bosom our pillow' he writes.As the ownership inscription shows, Susan Tarleton often varied the use of her names. Whilst official documents, including the parish records of her birth and marriage, give it as Susan Priscilla, she also used Susan or Priscilla, as in this volume. Her drawings are highly accomplished and she is also known to have contributed illustrations to be engraved for an anthology of Romantic poetry The Wild Wreath (1804) by Mary Elizabeth Robinson, the daughter of her husband's ex-mistress Mary (Perdita) Robinson. Despite losing two fingers from a musket ball received in his right hand during the Battle of Guildford Courthouse in North Carolina, Banastre Tarleton also appears to have lent his artistic talents to our volume, with many illustrations initialled 'B.T.'. Our volume would appear to be presented to Susan's aunt, Priscilla Barbara Elizabeth Bertie (1761-1828) who became 21st Baroness Willoughby de Eresby in 1780 after her brother Robert's death. It contains many historical tributes to the Willoughby and Bertie families and references the family name in a finely-drawn frontispiece. Susan's other aunt Georgiana Charlotte Bertie (1764-1838) married George Cholmondeley, 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley at whose country seat she met her future husband. It was through this marriage that the Cholmondeleys acquired the hereditary office of Lord Great Chamberlain which had been previously been held by Robert Bertie.Provenance: Private UK Collection.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
