John Bratby: 'Breakdown', New York & Cleveland, World Publishing Co., 1960, 1st US edition, signed & inscribed by Bratby on FFEP, further inscribed by him facing contents page, with full page pencil portrait on rear end paper by him with pencil note by him beneath, plus 4 Autograph Letters Signed by him, original quarter cloth gilt, pictorial paper covered boards. Details of inscriptions, portrait sketch and ALS by him as follows: i) pencil inscription to upper free endpaper: "To Delightful, Dear, Beautiful, Paint-covered, chromatic, earthy, a cynosure, wild, nobody else could be so unwashed & also be very beautiful, the daughter of Emil Nolde, Christine, from John Bratby [,] June 25 1973." ii) pencil note to blank page facing 'Contents' : "just nobody with hands loaded with gloss paint, & looking as if Jackson Pollock had used her for a painting. Cynosure=centre of attraction" iii) on lower free endpaper, full-page head and shoulders pencil portrait of Christine with note: "Christine[.] so sorry not doing my best yet - which hopefully to come will please us each more and anyway - delighted to meet you and for letting me be close" iv) Four Autograph Letters Signed in ball-point from Bratby to Christine, dated July/August 1973, on Bratby's striking own-designed illustrated note paper (two comprising a single sheet, two comprising two sheets). Looks forward to seeing her again and asks after her health, a waitressing job she has taken, her social life, whether she would pose for him - £1 an hour. v) single unused sheet of Bratby's note paper. John Bratby (1928-1992), painter and novelist, one of the 'angry young men' of the fifties, founder of the 'kitchen sink' realist movement in art. By the early 1970's his style of painting had fallen largely out of fashion in the face of American-influenced pop art. His failure to sell most of his work at the 1973 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition was greeted with considerable 'schadenfreude' by those critics who had never liked his work. His 'portrait' of Queen Elizabeth, in particular, aroused much controversy. (A contemporary Evening Standard review of Bratby's submissions to that exhibition is included in the lot.) No biographical information to be found about 'Christine'. Unlikely, though not impossible, that she was in fact the daughter of Emil Nolde (German Expressionist painter, 1867 to 1956). More likely that the reference just represents a moment of fanciful free association on Bratby's part, not least given that there are superficial stylistic similarities between the two painters.

De Rudder after A. Soltykoff, Chir Singh [Sher Singh] Maharaja des Siks, Roi de Panjab avec sa suite/Lahore Avril 1842, from Voyages dans L'Inde Auguste Bry, Paris, 1850lithograph on paper, no. 22 from the edition, title in lower border 487 x 690 mm. (to platemark); 620 x 868 mm. (sheet)Footnotes:A striking image from the elephant folio edition of 36 plates.Alexis Soltykoff was born in Saint Petersburg and after a brief stint in the Russian diplomatic service moved to Paris in 1840. He made two trips to India, in 1841-43, and then again in 1844-46. His letters written home to his brother were later published, in the popular success Lettres sur L'Inde (1848), which also included some lithographs based on drawings he had made in India. In 1850 the drawings were engraved by De Rudder and published in Voyages dans L'Inde in a 36-plate elephant folio edition (as in this lot and the one following), as well as subsequent octavo versions.There is a good deal of evidence that Soltykoff drew the scenes after which the lithographs were made, either directly from the life, or very soon after actual encounters. This is suggested by passages from his journals, describing his wide travels in India and the Punjab in particular, gathered in H. L. O. Garrett's The Punjab One Hundred Years Ago, as described by V. Jacquemont and A. Soltykoff (1935). As Garrett observes in his 'Prefatory Note', Soltykoff had his 'sketch book ever in readiness'. There are further passages which are intriguing: his face-to-face encounter with Sher Singh, a 'mass of cavalry' and elephants as an escort in 1842 (Garrett, p. 93); a hunting expedition with Sher Singh and hundreds of outriders and falconers (p. 101); and his daunting meeting with groups of Akali warriors, 'with high black turbans having daggers and plumes fixed in them' (pp. 94, 99-100).For a rare sheet of drawings by Soltykoff, dated 1848, in which appear at least one of the figures who feature in these lithographs, see the sale in these rooms, Bonhams, Islamic and Indian Art, 30th April 2019, lot 209.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

JOHN BRETT ARA (BRITISH 1831-1902) 'MacLeod’s Maidens, Skye', oil on canvas, signed and dated 1884 lower right, 100.5cm x 210cm, glazed and framed, comes with a facsimile copy of the receipt of purchase from Thomas Agnew & Son, June 4th 1884, exhibited at the Royal Academy at the time of purchase as no.395 (2) (Condition Report: the painting appears to be in good condition, the back of the painting is covered in thick paper, some patches are torn, the painting was in the house when the vendor's parents purchased the property in the 1960's but it is thought it may have been in the same residence since the 1920's, a few minor losses to the gilt frame) Provenance:  Sold through Agnew to T. J. Hirst 30 May 1884 for £800 Exhibited:  RA 1884 (395); Leeds 1888 (442); Huddersfield 1893. Literature:  Blackburn's Academy Notes 1884 (ill p.38); Birmingham Daily Post 6 May 1884; Aberdeen Weekly Journal 16 May 1884; Athenaeum 7 June 1884 p.734;  Art Journal 1884 p.211; Magazine of Art 1884 p.394; Leeds Mercury 3 Nov 1888; Huddersfield Daily Chronicle 2 Oct 1893; Christiana Payne: John Brett (Yale UP 2010) pp.150, 228 (Cat no. 1051). John Brett acquired the 210-ton schooner Viking from the Earl of Caledon in January 1883, with the intention of using her as a floating studio. In June that year he set off, with his wife and seven children and the crew of twelve, on an epic voyage which took them up the west coast of the British Isles, round the north of Scotland, and down the east coast, ending up at Brightlingsea, after many adventures, in mid-October. As they went he sketched from a specially constructed deck-house. By the end of August they had reached the Isle of Skye, and the entry in the ship's Log for 1 September records: "Many pencil sketches & sketch of Macleod's Maidens". Close observation from the boat enabled Brett to capture this unique view of the curious natural phenomena, with their semi-human forms. The sketches were later worked up into the oil picture in Brett's Harley St studio in time for the 1884 Academy Summer Exhibition. There it was sold through the dealer Agnew to the cotton manufacturer T. J. Hirst of Meltham Hall, Huddersfield for £800 (according to the artist "a very shady price")! After Hirst's death in 1927, his widow remained at the Hall until her own death in 1944, when the contents of the house, which comprised more than 1000 lots, presumably including this work, were sold at auction. The fine original frame is typical of those made for the artist by Dolman & Son of New Compton St, Soho. Richard Winterton Auctioneers are very grateful to John Brett’s great-grandson for the additional information)

Amy Watt (1900-1956) oil on canvas sketch, St Ives harbour, 26 x 28cm

English School, mid 20th century - oil sketch, head and shoulders of a girl, 40 x 44cm, framed

A large flowerpot with a sculptural image made in an oriental motif is a large bowl with a high cylindrical body, resting on a flat pedestal (four-bladed) and supported by two fairy-tale animals with the head of a dragon and the legs of a bird. Fancy polychrome coloring with geometric and other patterns is made in bright and contrasting colors. The surface of the pot is decorated with multi-colored friezes in relief with stylized cartouches, inlaid with ivy leaf motifs, edged with pearl friezes, the upper edge of the pot is decorated with 8-pointed stars. In general, the ornamental pattern is formed by decorative elements characteristic of similar porcelain paintings of this era. The glaze coating gives the item shine. The author of the sketch of the flowerpot model is A.S. Kaminsky (1829-1897), Moscow architect and artist, professor at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, husband of P. M. Tretyakov's sister (founder and owner of the art gallery of the same name). For the first time such a flower pot was made at a factory in the Tver province, which belonged to S.I. Maslennikov in the 1880s (the factory was founded by Auerbach). Maslennikovs factory was famous in Russia for its majolica products used to decorate chapels, as well as mugs made for the coronation of Emperor Alexander III. After a fire occurred at the factory in 1889, it was acquired by M.S. Kuznetsov, and its owner went to work for the new owner, where he worked until 1896. As M.S. Kuznetsov practiced, along with the purchase of the factory he stipulated the right to use and repeat the factory's old models. Sometimes, with such a purchase, he also stipulated the use of an old production mark (for example, the Gardner plant - the use of the last trademark of the enterprise with a double-headed eagle, the use of surviving models of products for the manufacture of repetitions; the Auerbach plant - the image of a double-headed eagle in the trademark). Under the leadership of Kuznetsov, the company began producing majolica products in 1885. Presumably, in the early 1890s, M.S. Kuznetsov's enterprise produced a small batch of S.M. Maslennikov's flowerpots intended for public sale. An identical vase is kept in the collection of the State Historical Museum in Moscow (GIM No. 112833). - A vase of a similar style was presented at the Russian Art'' auction at Sothebys on November 30, 2016, lot 126A Majolica, textured processing, painting with enamel paints. Mark of the M.S. Kuznetsov factory in the Tver province, Vyshnevolotsk district, Chernyatka village (former S.I. Maslennikov factory). The production mark is embossed and made in dough. The model number indicated in the price list of the factorys products is 671 (in the test) and the foundrys index (?) is 26 (in the test). The condition of the item is very good.
