Original Artwork by Mackenzie Crook (Always Check your Holes). Mackenzie Crook gave this original artwork to John Winter of The Searcher Magazine in 2014 by way of thanks for John's help during Mackenzie's research into the hobby. The coloured sketch depicts a familiar figure disappointed with the find of a tin can whist standing above a hoard of gold coins. Mackenzie joked in a note accompanying the piece (not included here) “Always check your holes”. The Castle Community Rooms fundraising group are extremely grateful to John Winter for donating this prized possession and to The Searcher Magazine for making it possible.

Herbert James Draper (British, 1864-1920)The Mountain Mists signed 'Herbert Draper' (lower right), inscribed 'The MOUNTAIN MISTS/Sketch for the large picture' (on the reverse)oil on canvas52.2 x 30cm (20 1/2 x 11 3/4in).unframedFootnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection.The present lot relates to Herbert Draper's 1912 Royal Academy work of the same title, a much larger canvas, recently sold at auction (see Christie's, New York, 13 October 2021, lot 7). Described by Simon Toll as 'a swirling mass of mist, fair and lithe female flesh [that] revels in erotic abandon', the subject is closely related to Draper's 1906 work, Day and the Dawnstar.1 As Toll notes, Draper 'recognised the artistic quality and commercial value of his oil sketches', and the present lot, as with a study for Day and the Dawnstar (sold in these rooms, 6 December 2000, lot 98, the same size as the present lot) might be considered a smaller version of the prime painting, rather than a preparatory study; indeed, in both cases, earlier, looser sketches are known, produced by the artist in order to 'harmonise the colour scheme.'

After RAPHAEL DE SANZIO (Italy, 1483 - 1520); 19th century"Madonna of the Chair.Oil on canvas. Re-drawn.It presents slight faults in the canvas caused by the passage of time.Measurements: 24,5 x 24,5 cm; 32 x 33 cm (frame).This 19th century painting is a version of one of the best known works of the great Renaissance artist Raphael Sanzio, "Raphael", the "Madonna of the chair", conserved in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. It is in fact a group of the Virgin and Child in her arms, accompanied by Saint John Child, a representation that combines a devotional character with the tenderness evoked by the mother with the two little ones. This dual character explains the extraordinary success of this type of representation throughout the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Although on many occasions the group of figures is set in a landscape, often accompanied by other figures such as Saint Anne or Saint Joseph, Raphael chose to place his figures in an interior of which, however, he offers no details, limiting himself to setting the scene with a sturdy carved wooden chair that later gave the work its popular name. According to an anecdote handed down by various historians, Raphael would have been inspired for this beautiful figure of Mary by a humble peasant woman whom he had seen tenderly embracing her son on a walk in Velletri. Struck by the girl's beauty, he immediately made a chalk sketch that he would later use for this and other compositions. Raphael's work is in tondo format and was painted approximately between 1513-1514, during the artist's Roman period. It reveals a new warmth in both the composition and the colour range that differs from that used throughout the artist's Florentine period, probably due to the influence of Titian, among others. The artist respects the general lines of the Renaissance master's composition, although he chooses a rectangular format for his work, and adopts a somewhat warmer colour range, with a marked chiaroscuro and very well-defined volumes.

The main central leather panel with some untidiness and losses at the edges and some lifting (see images) Some staining to drawers interiors including some old ink stains(see images) The main writing drawer with evidence of a split to the floor of the drawer.

None are damaged or broken but may need simple adjustment/ re-fixing in order to operate entirely satisfactorily. The drawer handles to the interior all appear to match and be original. They are generally in fair original condition. They are ivory. Lacking keys but the lock is open. The lock appears original.
