Peter Paul Rubens,1577 Siegen – 1640 Antwerpen, zug.SCHWEBENDER PUTTO Schwarze, rote und weiße Kreide auf Büttenpapier, verso von feinem Japanpapier restauratorisch unterlegt. Maße des Blattes: 27,2 x 13,5 cm (links Anstückelung zu 16,1 cm). Im Passepartout, hinter Glas gerahmt.Rubens hat diese Studie in schwarzer und roter Kreide auf Büttenpapier gezeichnet, das Weiß im Sinne einer Glanzhöhung eingesetzt. Das Alter des Papiers ist durch Untersuchung für die Zeit um 1618 gesichert. Dies gilt als ein umso wichtigeres Indiz, als die Ausführung des großen Altarblattes „Die Hl. Jungfrau umgeben von den Unschuldigen Heiligen Kindern“ auch im Jahr 1618 gemalt wurde. Dabei sind für die Bedeutung unseres Blattes mindestens zwei Kriterien zu nennen: zum einen findet sich unser Putto in nahezu exakter Wiederholung im genannten Gemälde, nämlich links oben, neben den weiteren Kinderfiguren, zum anderen ist das Grundthema des Puttenreigens ohnehin ein ausgesprochen eigentypisches Phänomen in der Bilderfindung des großen Flamen. Damit ist auch unser Blatt in der Bedeutung für das Rubensschaffen als ein Werk von Rang zu sehen. Der Zeichnung ist die entsprechende Virtuosität und Reife der Blütezeit des Rubens´schen Wirkens eigen. Selbst als Darstellungsdetail für das Altarblatt zeigt sich die Zeichnung bereits in der künstlerischen Wirkung als eigenständiges, autonomes Kunstwerk. Die Verwendung dreier Farbstifte, die Hintergrundschattierung links, vor allem aber auch die Weißhöhung, verleihen dem Blatt diese Wirkung. Auf die Wiedergabe der Arme hat Rubens hier bewusst verzichtet, sehen wir sie doch in der Gemäldeausführung etwa von der Kinderfigur daneben überdeckt. Dass unser Putto im Altarbild nicht völlig exakt wiederholt wurde, ist etwa an der Form der Haarlocke zu sehen, auch darin, dass das Gesicht dort weiter abgewandt erscheint. Solche Beobachtungen lassen sich zurecht auch als Indiz der Echtheit sehen – schließlich wurde unser Blatt von keinem der Experten der Rubensforschung in Frage gestellt. Es würde zu weit führen, für die zahllosen Kinderdarstellungen, die im Altarbild die Marienfigur umschweben, lebende Modelle im Rubensumfeld zu suchen. Jedenfalls aber wissen wir, dass Rubens nicht selten seine eigenen Kinder, wie etwa den Sohn Albert (geb. 1614) als Modell zum Vorbild hatte, wie wohl auch in jenem Werk in der Albertina, Wien, (Inv. Nr. 17639). Jedenfalls erweckt auch unser Blatt eher den Eindruck einer Zeichnung nach einem lebenden Kindervorbild, als nach idealisierter Idee. So ist auch das Gesicht weit realistischer gegeben, als dann im Ölbild, was zudem für die Authentizität spricht, von sämtlichen namhaften Rubensexperten bestätigt. So handelt es sich bei unserem vorliegenden Werk nicht zuletzt auch um eine bedeutende Ergänzung des graphischen Oeuvres für Rubens.Provenienz: Georges Bourgarel, Paris.

(1321992) (11)Peter Paul Rubens,1577 Siegen – 1640 Antwerp, attributedFLOATING PUTTOBlack, red and white chalk on laid paper. Mounted on card.Dimensions of the sheet: 27.2 x 13.5 cm (Sheet added to 16.1 cm.).Mounted and framed with glass.The present drawing in swift lines probably shows a live drawing of a figure of a small child. Pentimenti on the left foot, the realistic rendition of the head and a few single outlining lines suggest that this is a sketch. A comparison with Rubens´ work quickly reveals similarities: a painting titled “The Virgin and Child Surrounded by the Holy Innocents” held at the Louvre was created ca. 1618. A young child can be made out in the top left which is identical to the child in the drawing in this lot, particularly its posture and expression. Rubens created numerous sketches for his paintings and children often acted as models. These sketches were incorporated into paintings at various times. In this instance, it could be assumed that Rubens drew his own son Albert, who was born on 5 June 1614 and this seems to also be the case for a drawing held at the Albertina Museum, Vienna (inventory no. 17639). According to the description at Sotheby´s no relevant Rubens expert doubts the authorship of the sketch in this lot. According to the paper expert Pieter Bower the paper dates to ca. 1618. The paper was extended on the left by ca. 23 mm, with slight foxing and darkened within the mount, especially around the edges. However, overall it is in a beautiful and crisp condition.Provenance:Georges Bourgarel, Paris.Gutekunst & Klipstein, Bern, 22 November 1956, lot 272.Private collection, England.Offered at Sotheby´s, New York, 28 January 2015, lot 62.Literature:A.-M.

Bernard Hailstone (1910-1987) 1979, oil on canvas sketch portrait of H.M.Queen Elizabeth II with an enigmatic smile on her face and wearing a pearl necklace, green dress and cape, signed and dated in original moulded parcel, gilt frame, 60 x 50 cm, the frame 77 x 67 cm. Bernard Hailstone was a celebrated portrait painter in the 1960s and 70s and painted several portraits of various members of the Royal Family, Sir Winston Churchill and celebrities including Lawrence Olivier. Her Majesty had several sittings for Bernard Hailstone in 1977 and is reported to have asked the artist to adjust the aerial on her television in order for her to watch the horse racing while he painted her. This fine oil sketch is a very good likeness of The Queen and captures something of the Queen's character that the finished work lacks.

Condition: overall good; small pencil sketch, verso; trimmed irregularly on the left margin; small "x" shape tear repaired with tape, verso; hinging tape, verso; very small (1/8") marginal tear, lower center; text verso, which roughly translated states "All: The Knight Excellency Benito Mussolini, the Duce of Fascism, Head of Government, I have the honor of presenting you the Italian Statistical Yearbook 1940 XVIII, which, by reason of the state of war, only contains the chapters, the publication of which is promulgated under the 23rd Decree of 5 October 1933, XI, number 1722. Rome, 14th July 1940, year XVIII. The President, Institute of Central Statistics, Franco Savorgnan.". Comment(s): This drawing is a prime example of Sironi's signature work, characterized by massive, immobile, often somber forms, which he excelled at during the 1930s and early 1940s. A supporter of Mussolini, his esthetic of brutal monumentality represented the dominant style of Italian Fascism. He was an Italian modernist artist who was active as a painter, sculptor, illustrator, and designer. During his lifetime Sironi exhibited internationally. It is possible that the cellular style of his compositions exhibited in the US during the 1930s influenced WPA muralists. In the postwar years, Sironi fell from favor due to his earlier association with Fascism, and was accorded little attention from art historians. A revival of interest in Sironi's work began in the 1980s, when his work was featured in major exhibitions, notably 'Les Réalismes' at the Centre Georges Pompidou (1981) and 'Italian Art in the Twentieth Century' at the Royal Academy, London (1989).
