Iain Macmillan (British, 1938-2006): A Series Of Five Outtakes From The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' Sessions,1969,comprising five photographic prints from the 'Abbey Road' sessions as shot by Iain Macmillan, each showing The Beatles in various formations as they walk across the Abbey Road pedestrian crossing, each print applied to board and numbered, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 in black ink to the border, (frame no.5 missing, as this was the one used for the album cover), prints 12in x 15in (30.5cm x 38cm)board 15in x 15in (38cm x 38cm) (5)Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the Iain Macmillan Collection.Having met John Lennon at the Indica Gallery with Yoko Ono in 1966, Lennon later invited Macmillan to photograph the Beatles for the cover of their final album 'Abbey Road'. Given the Beatles recorded most of their music at the EMI Studios on Abbey Road, St John's Wood, London, they decided to name their last album after the road. Armed with a sketch Paul McCartney had given him a couple of days before of what the picture should look like, Iain knew he didn't have long to get the right shot for the world's most famous band.On 8th August 1969, at around 11:30 am, a hired policeman stopped the traffic, Iain climbed up a large stepladder in the middle of Abbey Road and took just six pictures of the Beatles crossing the street. In approx 10 minutes Iain shot the band in various orders, but it was frame no.5 that was used for the cover of the album - the only photo where all four of them are striding in perfect formation.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Martin Wiener (1913-2001): The Rolling Stones Hands1970,ink on paper, depicting hand-drawn 'hands' from the artists' 'Hands Series' in which he got musical personalities to sign their hands, with large signatures by Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts in black inks, 40in x 27in (101.5m x 68.5cm)Footnotes:Provenance:Gifted by the Artist's Estate to the current vendor who was a long-term friend of the artist and his family.Raised in Brooklyn, Wiener found art when he moved to California having drifted into writing plays and comedy sketches for radio, television and films. 'The only incident that sticks in my mind is the weekend I spent with Roy Rogers, American Cowboy singer in San Francisco', says Wiener. 'Then one day lightning struck! I was assigned to write a comedy sketch for Dinah Shore and Peter Lind Hayes...This new experience of drawing opened my eyes and heart to the one activity that now had real meaning to me.' After moving through drawing, watercolours and oils, he gave up his Hollywood activities and moved to Paris to focus on his art.The subject of 'hands' was a recurrent theme in Wiener's work. He had an exhibition called 'A Show of Hands' (an exhibition of musical drawings) held and displayed at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden for a number of months in 1971. Other notable people's hands include the Stan Getz Quartet, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Colin Davis, Golda Meir and many other great musicians, conductors and political figures of the 60's and 70's. His work has been exhibited at numerous institutions in the UK, USA, France and beyond, including the Tate, Barbican, BFI, American Embassy Cultural Centre in Jerusalem, the San Diego Museum, Bodley Gallery in New York, and Oxford University, among many more.Literature:Wiener, Martin, 'Taking a Line for a Walk', Scarecrow Press, London, 1985.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, Flemish 1702-1772- Portrait of a young man, half-length, wearing a red cap, c.1730; oil on canvas, 71.4 x 54 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The attribution of the present work has been confirmed by Dr Brian Allen and represents an important addition to the oeuvre of van Reysschoot. The identity of the sitter is unknown, though his informal open shirt and cap suggests that he may himself be an artist. It is possible, also, that he relates to the figure of the transverse flute player in the artist’s ‘Elegant Party taking Coffee on a Terrace a formal Garden beyond’, offered at Sotheby’s, London, 24 April 2008, lot 117. A red chalk sketch in the Rijksmuseum additionally bears facial and sartorial similarities [RP-T-1992-93-64(V)] and conceivably represents a preparatory drawing for the present work.A Flemish artist from Ghent, van Reysschoot travelled to England in the 1730s, having won a prize at the Paris Academy in 1730. The present work likely dates to the early years of this decade in London, and, as Brian Allen has pointed out, can be compared in handling to another work from this period, dated 1732, ‘Portrait of a boy in tartan, called Prince Henry Benedict Stuart’ (Wolrige-Gordon Collection, Aberdeenshire). The present work further echoes the grace and animation of the sculpture busts of Louis-François Roubiliac (1702-1762), who Reysschoot had studied alongside in Paris. Van Reysschoot spent a large part of his career in England, which earned him the nickname 'den Engelschman' ('the Englishman'), returning to his native Ghent in the mid-1740s. In England he painted portraits, religious, historical and sporting subjects, and Watteauesque conversational pieces, with many of his works exhibiting the influences of both Francis Hayman (1708-1776) and John Wootton (1686-1764). He had a strong portrait practice amongst the Midlands gentry and was also employed by the family of the Jacobite 4th Duke of Beaufort, as evidenced by the existence of a signed set of portraits there. A portrait by van Reysschoot was sold recently at Sotheby's, London, 5 July 2018, lot 193. Please refer to department for condition report

Edwin Ellis, RBA, British 1841-1895- A coastal view with fisherfolk moored on the shore; oil on canvas, indistinctly signed (lower left), with a sketch of a woman standing by a lake (verso), 51 x 76.5 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Ellis, despite being a Nottingham-born painter, was best-known for his coastal scenes, ranging from rough and stormy seas to moored boats in calm coves, as in the present work. This piece exhibits the loose and Impressionistic brushstrokes which define Ellis’s approach, capturing the freedom and freshness of the British coast.Please refer to department for condition report
