Jack B. Yeats RHA, 1871-1957 FRESH HORSES (c.1914) Oil on board, 14" x 9" (35.5 x 23cm), signed Exhibited: 1914 London (25); 1917 London Allied Artists; 1918 Dublin (13); 1965 London (1) Provenance: Sold by the artist to L. Smith, 1946, later R MacGonigal, Dublin. Later sold by Victor Waddinon, London, 1965. Also Peter O`Toole, London and Waddington Galleries, London. Literature: `Jack B. Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonneof the Oil Paintings` by Hilary Pyle, No 91, page 78, Vol I, where she writes: `An ostler holding the heads of two skittish horses in the darkness. His scarf and the harness catch the light. This oil was developed from a sketch in one of Yeat`s Belmullet notebooks (sketchbook 101; Sligo Museum), which has the inscription ` Changing horses on the way to Belmullet`. Yeats and Synge travelled by mail car- a long car- to Belmullet in July 1905. The painting may be earlier than 1914, with its firmly worked single figure and night lighting being closer to compositions of 1911- 12 (27, 39). The trip with Synge imprinted itself firmly on Yeat`s memory, and he recalled incidents from it at intervals`- Jack B.

Louis le Brocquy HRHA (1916-2012) ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN, 1950-1952 colour-inverted Aubusson tapestry, Atelier René Duché; (no. 4 from an edition of 9) signed [leB] and dated [`52] lower left; signed with initials by maître-lissier, René Duché and numbered in the weave on reverse lower right; with Certificate of Authenticity sewn on reverse, signed, numbered, titled and dated by le Brocquy and Duché 55 by 108in., 139.7 by 274.32cm. Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner The genesis of le Brocquy`s colour-inverted tapestries pivots on his meeting with designer Jean Lurçat in the summer of 1952 in London where le Brocquy had established his studio, in Battersea, in spring that year. The innovations in the weaving industry coupled with his own earlier interest in the emotional effect of colour led him to explore the medium through the adaptation of early small-scale flat (gouache) cartoons. Between 1948 and 1952 these were translated into woven images facilitated by Tabard Frères et Soeurs, Aubusson and included Travellers, Garlanded Goat and the Eden series. In the artist`s notes in the catalogue for `Louis le Brocquy, Aubusson Tapestries`, 3-29 May 2001 with Agnew`s, he describes the process thus: "These tapestries were designed by means of a technique I learned directly from the master in this medium, Jean Lurçat. No colour sketch is involved. Instead a purely linear cartoon defines areas within which a range of coloured wools are indicated by numbers. But, further to these first cartoons, my excitement regarding the drama of colour-inversion encouraged me to make at the time second versions of these linear cartoons, inverted both in colour and tone."1 It would be fifty years before the artist could realise these second, colour-inverted, versions. The present tapestry was woven at Aubusson by celebrated Lissier René Duché in collaboration with the artist`s son, Pierre. They have been described as linking "… the refined simplicity of medieval weaving with the mastery of Cubist drawings" and by le Brocquy, as an "… inverted transformation of mood, `as contrary as night from day`".2 Footnote: 1.

A LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE RUSSIAN ICON OF THE HOLY FACE, PALEKH SCHOOL, CIRCA 1890. A striking image executed in egg tempera utilizing an overlaying cross hatching technique which through the buildup of successive layers produces a somewhat three dimensional effect as often found on higher quality icons of the period.   At center the face of Christ is shown as it was miraculously transferred to a cloth and held aloft by two opposing angels that stand above characteristic Palekh-style clouds beneath them. The large thick wood panel gilded, ornately and heavily incised with intricate patterns in the Pan Slavic taste and the borders painted in faux enameling. The left border painted with an image of the Holy Martyr Paraskeva and the right border painted with the Holy Archangel Gabriel.  Above the face of Christ are two decorative medallions with gilt inscriptions abbreviating the name Jesus Christ. On the lower margin within a rectangular cartouche with rounded corners a gilt inscription rendered in Old Church Slavonic identifying the subject as the "Not-by-Hands-Made Image". An interesting story explains the traditional origin of this icon type. In New Testament times King Abgar of the Syrian city of Edessa is said to have fallen ill and sent his court artist Ananias to sketch an image of Christ. So great were the stories of Christ’s healing power, Abgar believed if only he could see an image of Jesus, he too could be healed. In his quest to draw near Christ so as to render his image, Ananias was kept at a distance because of the large crowds. However, knowing this, Christ sought out Ananias in the crowd and pressed a cloth to his own face, miraculously imprinting it with his image and telling Ananias to take the cloth to his king, Abgar. Ananias did as he was told, and upon seeing the cloth, Abgar was healed but retained a slight touch of his former illness until Thaddeus, a disciple of Christ, came and baptized him. Because the image appeared miraculously and was not painted, it is called "The Not Made by Hands Image." It is also sometimes referred to as the "first icon" or "true image". As such it is also related etymologically to the Roman Catholic story of Veronica’s veil. Indeed the name Veronica is derived from the two words, vera (true) and icon (image), meaning true image. The two saints depicted on the borders could very well represent the recipients of this icon, perhaps on their (Paraskeva and Gabriel’s) wedding day. It is this subject matter which was emblazoned on regimental standards and as such lead many a Russian army into battle. It is also often found above the entrance to Eastern Orthodox churches and shrines. An exquisite icon in an excellent state of preservation. 21.1 inches x 17.4 inches (53.5 x 44.3 cm).
