Lot 669
* Folkard (Charles, 1878-1963). The Wizard's Enchantments, pen, ink, and watercolour on artist's board, depicting a cavernous candle-lit scene with a wizened bearded sorcerer sitting on a high stool, dressed in a scarlet cloak, and matching fur-lined boots and pointed hat adorned with stars and a crescent moon, with a potion bubbling on the brick stove before him, large leather-bound tomes scattered on the floor, a crow perched on an open volume, a pair of onlooking mice, a skull, and various other accoutrements of wizardry, 26 x 17 cm (10.25 x 6.75 ins), mounted, together with a pencil sketch on paper similar, depicting a wizard at work surrounded by bellows, ancient texts, potion bottles, pestle & mortar, etc., a few paint stains, verso with additional sketch of a wizard, pencil, partially outlined in black ink, sheet size 25.5 x 20 cm (10 x 8 ins) (Qty: 2)NOTESProvenance: From the artist's studio and thence by descent. This striking painting, so typical of Folkard's style, with its meticulous line, fantastical subject and atmospheric palette, was probably never published. Folkard may well have used his own visage as a starting point for that of the wizard; the bearded Pre-Raphaelite appearance of the artist in his early days translated well into such subjects, which could then be worked up to greater heights of fantasy. The subject of magic and wizardry itself would have had a special interest and meaning for the artist as he worked for a period of time as a magician under the name 'Professor Volkard' after attending a show at the Egyptian Hall in London. It was only when designing his own conjuring show programmes that his artistic genius became apparent.
