*De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Male nude playing a pipe, charcoal on paper, full-length seated male nude wearing a loin cloth, with face in profile turned to left, playing a pipe, dusty, damp-stain to upper right blank corner, very small hole above left shoulder, verso with another sketch of a full-length seated male nude, edge-frayed and with pin-holes at corners, sheet size 62 x 46cm (24.5 x 18ins), together with two other similar-sized charcoal drawings on paper of the same model, both full-length, one showing him playing a pipe in a different attitude, the other showing him reclining, both with some dust and water-soiling, and frayed at edges, lower right corner of latter with name of 'Emilie I. Barrington' and 'E. Barrington' in charcoal and pencil in the artist's hand, plus two others similar of different male models These highly accomplished drawings were executed whilst Evelyn De Morgan was a student at the Slade School of Art. Evelyn enrolled at the Slade in 1873 - one of the first three women to enrol - after spending a short time at the South Kensington National Art Training School. Study of the living model was considered of paramount importance to the education of each student at the Slade, and Evelyn's life drawings from this period demonstrate a level of skill and understanding of the human anatomy surprising for one so young. Her skilful draughtsmanship was acknowledged by numerous awards which she received during her time at the Slade, including equal first prize for drawing from life in 1875. The De Morgan Foundation holds a number of similar life drawings by Evelyn. Interestingly they are in similar condition to those offered here, so it seems safe to assume that the drawings were neglected relatively early on in their existence and perhaps whilst still in the possession of the artist (who may have placed little importance on the work of her student days). A forceful and highly-strung woman, Emilie Barrington was an art critic and novelist chiefly remembered for her biographies of G.F. Watts and Frederic Leighton. She was an amateur artist herself, taking drawing lessons from Arthur Hughes, and she quite determinedly assimilated herself into the artistic and literary circles of the day. It is curious that Mrs. Barrington's name appears on one of the studies offered here; there appears to be little known about her relationship with the De Morgans, although we do know that Evelyn, accompanied by the writer Violet Paget, went to lunch at Emilie Barrington's in 1883, after which they visited the studios of Watts and Leighton.

*De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Female nude study for Boreas and Oreithyia, pencil on card, full length female nude, dust-soiled, some ink marks to left-hand edge, and toned vertically to right (affecting forearm), sheet size 36 x 25.5cm (14 x 10ins), together with Compositional sketch for Boreas and Oreithyia, charcoal and pencil on card, showing a winged male figure with a female nude and drapery, lightly dust-soiled, sheet size 40.5 x 31cm (16 x 12ins), plus a further compositional study of figures, pencil on card, showing three females nudes, one bowed over on the ground and the other two rising up amongst swirls of vapour, sheet size 24 x 14.5cm (9.5 x5.75ins) 'Boreas and Oreithyia' was completed in 1896 and exhibited at the Society of Oil Painters 1899-1900, the Walker Art Gallery in 1900, and at Wolverhampton in 1907, before being purchased by the artist's sister Mrs. Stirling. It was left in trust, with the rest of Mrs. Stirling's collection, to the De Morgan Foundation, which she had personally established ('Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings', DMF, 1996, plate 33). A large scale oil, the work depicts Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, carrying off Oreithyia (daughter of Erechtheus) from the banks of the Ilissus. Oritheyia was modelled by Evelyn's maid, Jane Hales, and for Boreas she used a professional artists' model, who also modelled for Edward Burne-Jones's 'The Beguiling of Merlin'. The De Morgan Foundation has eight further drawings, both figure and compositional studies, which were executed in preparation for the full-scale work. Our female nude, interestingly, shows the body at a less acute angle than in the finished oil, or indeed than in the accompanying compositional sketch. Together with the De Morgan Foundation studies, the drawings offered here help to build up a picture of the artist's detailed and thorough working processes. (3)
