FREDERIC, LORD LEIGHTON (1830-1896) 'THE SLUGGARD' bronze, dark brown patina, signed LORD LEIGHTON and titled THE SLUGGARD, this cast circa 1910-20.  53cm high Provenance: Alan Boyle (Antique Dealer), Brighton, 1970The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection Literature: Frederic Leighton: 1830-1896, Harry N. Abrams/Royal Academy 1996, pp. 202-203, fig. 93Read B. Leighton as a sculptor: Releasing sculpture from convention, Apollo, London, February 1996, pp. 65-69.Note: The Sluggard by Frederic Leighton, created in 1885-1886, is a pivotal piece in the New Sculpture movement, which emphasised naturalism and a departure from the rigidity of earlier Victorian art. The sculpture portrays a young male nude stretching lazily, capturing a moment of languid awakening. The work was inspired by a spontaneous gesture of Leighton’s model, Giuseppe Valona, who stretched and yawned during a modelling session, prompting Leighton to immediately sketch the pose in clay.Initially titled An Athlete Awakening from Sleeping, the piece was later renamed The Sluggard to emphasize its relaxed, almost indolent posture, contrasting with Leighton's earlier, more dynamic work, An Athlete Wrestling with a Python. The sculpture was widely acclaimed and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886, earning further recognition at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1889, where it was awarded a medal of honour.The influence of contemporary French sculptors, particularly the naturalism of Rodin, is evident in this work. The Sluggard remains one of Leighton’s most celebrated sculptures, symbolising a significant shift towards more expressive and realistic forms in late 19th-century British art​. 

CHARLES SIMS (1873-1928) 'CRAFTS', CIRCA 1915 oil sketch on board, inscribed lower left ARTS & CRAFTS EXHIBITION 1916, and lower right CHARLES SIMS/ M. ASHER/ J. MARTINDALE/ T. EMSLIE/ F. BROWN  35.5cm x 80.5cm (frame size 42.5cm x 87.2cm) Note: This is a preparatory study for the artist’s mural ‘Crafts’, made for the Municipal Hall at the Royal Academy’s Arts and Crafts Exhibition of 1916. Four of the most successful large decorative panels: Maurice Greiffenhagen's, The Arts of Peace; George Clausen's The Ancient Arts; Robert Anning Bell's The Awakening; and Charles Sims’ Crafts. On these walls the Academy had fielded its strongest team, each was a consummately skilled practitioner, highly experienced in the art of mural painting. These artists, with others, would receive major public commissions after the war, notably in the Palace of Westminster, thus fulfilling, in this area at least, the goal of the exhibition organiser and President of the Society, Henry Wilson.Believed the have been lost, Sims’ vast mural canvas (30 feet wide) was recently found rolled up in the basement of the Academy. Sims was aided in the painting by a group of female students from the Royal Academy Schools: Rosalie Emslie, Florence Asher, Margaret Brown and Veronica Martindale, all credited in this sketch albeit with their initials entered the wrong way around.
