* Furse (Charles Wellington, 1868-1904). A small archive of works by or relating to the artist, including a number of works by Charles Wellington Furse: a pencil study of the upper back and arms of a male nude on grey textured laid paper, signed in pencil lower right, upper right corner slightly creased, sheet size 27.3 x 39.1 cm (10 3/4 x 15 3/8 ins); a pen and ink drawing of Cecil Rhodes, dated 1896, with folds and a few edge-tears (one with loss to lower edge), sheet size 20.3 x 16.5 cm (8 x 6 1/2 ins), laid down on card (26.9 x 21.4 cm); and 13 small juvenile sketches of horses, figures, and dogs, mostly annotated 'Charlie' and dated 1873, some laid down on paper (adhesive show-through in places), 11.5 x 18 cm (4 1/2 x 7 ins) and smaller, and a collection of works by other hands, including a signed pen & ink head and shoulders sketch of a woman by Pietro Annigoni, dated 1954, a sketchbook belonging to Charles's brother the sculptor J.H.M. Furse, containing approximately 25 leaves of drawings, mostly head studies in pencil (some crossed through in pencil), but also a drawing of a greyhound in sanguine, a few sketches of other animals, several of festoons of fruit, 1 or 2 drapery studies, and a couple of landscapes in coloured chalks, sheet size 30.5 x 24.5 cm (12 x 9 3/4 ins), page block becoming loose in original cloth, large 4to, and a scrap album containing a variety of drawings, engravings, and manuscript writings, including a number of pen & ink or pencil caricatures and a scissor cut silhouette of a child, original gilt and blind decorated red calf, worn, 4toQTY: (a folder)NOTE:Charles Wellington Furse studied at the Slade School in London and the Académie Julian in Paris. He is known to have developed a talent for drawing at an early age, and this is borne out by some of the sketches offered here which were executed at the age of just six. Furse is particularly known for his portraiture, which demonstrates a novel sense of immediacy in direct contrast to much for the staid studio portraiture which had gone before. His sitters are often painted engaged in a sport or pastime, unconscious of being observed, giving the appearance of a snapshot in time. One such example is the impressive oil of four children on horseback entitled 'With the York and Ainsty - The Children of Mr Edward Lycett Green', a work conveying movement and colour, light and energy.

* Müller (William James, 1812-1845). The Burning of the Mansion House, Queen Square, Bristol, 1831, watercolour with bodycolour on card, with near-contemporary ownership inscription to verso in brown ink: 'The burning of the Mansion House, Bristol, in the Riots of this City, in 1831 by W. Müller. A.J.A. Proprietor', corners rounded off, 170 x 245 mm (6 5/8 x 9 5/8 ins), gilt mount, antique-style gilt frame (by Rollo Whately and Gino Franchi antique frames, 9 Old Bond Street, London, W1X 3TA, with their label to verso), frame size 26 x 33.5 cmQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Alfred John Acraman (1809-1880), proprietor of the Great Western Cotton Company, Bristol (listed as residing at 4 Great George Street, Park Street according to Matthews's Directory of Bristol for 1832); Clevedon Salerooms, near Bristol, 23rd September 1999 (sold as a pair with The Burning of the New Gaol, hammer price £14,500); Estate of Martyn R. Davies, Bristol.Literature: Francis Greenacre and Sarah Stoddard, W. J. Müller 1812-1845, 1991, page 70: ’The Bristol Riots of October 1831 were the nineteenth century’s bloodiest riots in England. For nearly two days the city was effectively in the hands of the mob. Prisons, toll-houses, the Bishop’s Palace, the Mansion House, the Custom House and much of Queen Square were destroyed. Together with his younger brother, Muller witnessed nearly all this destruction as it happened. Before such dreadful havoc, Muller’s response was bold and accomplished and his watercolours and small oil sketches form one of the most remarkable visual records of a national disaster before the advent of the camera’.It is impossible to determine when or how soon after the riots this sketch was made. One sepia and pencil drawing (private collection), also of the burning of the Mansion House just moments before the present work, has extensive and hurried pencil work and might well have been largely executed on the spot (Greenacre and Stoddard, figure 6, page 72). The present work has the same powerful immediacy. See also Greenacre and Stoddard (page 20, colour plate 6) for the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery’s oil sketch of this scene.
* Fuseli (Henry, 1741-1825). Study after Michelangelo's Last Judgement, circa 1775, pen and brown ink on antique laid paper, with watermark of a crossbow (probably late 16th century, similar to Briquet 729), slight loss to extreme lower left margin and to lower right corner, edges restrengthened to verso, inscribed in pencil in a later hand to verso 'Henry Fuseli i/ Rome after Michelangelo £ 9. 10. 0' and in another hand 'Michel Angelo', sheet size 205 x 315 mm (8.1 x 12.4 ins), window-mountedQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Collection of Michael Jaffé (1923 –1997), former director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.Fuseli travelled to Italy in 1770 and settled in Rome, where he remained until 1778. There he studied classical sculpture and especially Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. According to Allan Cunningham in his Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters, 1830, 'It was a story he loved to repeat, how he lay on is back day after day, and week succeeding week, with upturned and wondering eyes, musing at the splendid ceiling of the Sistine Chapel - on the unattainable grandeur of the Florentine…He fulfilled the injunction of Reynolds - he ate and drank and slept and waked upon Michelangelo’.The present work is a sketch of the lower right portion of Michelangelo's famous Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel, depicting the arrival of tormented souls across the River Styx in Charon's boat to the land of the dead (as described in Dante's Divine Comedy), where they are received by demons.
* Welch (Denton, 1915-1948).

Noel Cousins was a painter who was active from 1957 to 1965.Noël Gilford Adeney (1890-1978) was a British artist, known for her landscape and still life paintings and a member of The London Group. She is known to have drawn a portrait of Welch which sold at Sotheby's in 1997. Welch also appears as "Merton Hughes" in Adeney's 1956 novel No Coward Soul.
* Downes (Thomas Price, active 1835-1887). Portrait of Mrs Henry Back, circa 1851, oil on canvas, half-length portrait of a young woman with flower sprigs in her swept-back brown hair, wearing a lace-trimmed black gown, a brooch, and gold link and enamel bracelets, and carrying a folding fan, against a backdrop of sky, re-lined, contemporary manuscript label on stretcher with name of sitter and artist (latter indistinct), 91.5 x 71 cm (36 x 28 ins), period gilt moulded frame with elaborate strapwork and volute pattern (119.5 x 99 cm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Fanny Lamprière (born 1830) was courted by the artist John Everett Millas (1829-1926), although she later married land-owning magistrate Henry Back (born 1811), on 7th July 1851, in Ewell, Surrey. The Lamprières were a Jersey family, and Millais had strong connections to the island, having lived there for the first nine years of his life. Later he spent a lot of time at Rozel Manor, St Martin, Jersey, home of Philip Raoul Lemprière, the brother of Fanny's father Captain William Charles Lamprière. It is said that Raoul (as he was known), gave the artist his first paintbox, and when Millais went to London to continue his training as a painter, he was befriended by Arthur and Harry Lemprière, two of Fanny's brothers. 'We always called him Johnny', said Arthur, 'and he constantly spent the holidays with us at our home in Ewell, Surrey. He always seemed to be sitting indoors, to have a pen, pencil, or brush in his hand, rattling off some amusing caricature or other drawing'. Indeed, Millais made a number of informal sketches of the Lamprière family, and Arthur later sat for one of Millais’ most famous paintings The Huguenot in 1852. In 1846 Millais sent two painted Valentines to Fanny, but we can only guess at subsequent events; just five years later there is a somewhat sad mention of her - the married lady - in the only diary the painter kept. He was staying near to Ewell, and had chanced upon his 'old flame' as she returned from church: "I wished myself anywhere but there; all seemed so horribly changed, the girl I knew so well calling me ‘Mr Millais’ instead of ‘John’, and I addressing ‘Fanny’ as ‘Mrs B’. She married a man old enough to be her father; he trying to look the young man, with a light cane in his hand … an apparently stupid man, plain and bald, perfectly stupefied at Mrs B asking me to make a little sketch of her ugly old husband. They left, she making a bungling expression of gladness at having met me."

DEAN JAMES: (1931-1955) American actor, an Academy Award nominee (the only actor to have been nominated posthumously twice). A significant illustrated A.L.S., Jim, one page, 8vo, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, n.d. (10th January 1954), to Miss. Barbara Glenn ('Darling'), on the printed stationery of the St. James Hotel. Dean commences his letter by asking his girlfriend not to worry about him, and apologises for not having called her on Saturday morning, continuing to discuss rehearsals for an upcoming play, 'Rehearsals are quite confusing at this point. Lighting etc. Can't tell much about the show yet. Looks like a piece of shit to me, Stereophonic staging and 3-D actors. Probably be a monster success; but to me it's still a piece of shit', and concluding 'Please write to me darling about next weekend. Please come see me, Have to get back to rehearsal now'. In a postscript Dean asks how Glenn is feeling, and also remarks 'Hate this fucking brown makeup'. At the head of the page Dean has drawn a sketch of Arabic-inspired buildings within a walled enclosure which also features a number of palm trees, perhaps representing part of the scenic design for the stage play he was rehearsing for (some of which was set in Algeria). In the left margin appears a second, smaller drawing by Dean, perhaps an amusing self-caricature and seemingly reflective of the actor's mood at the time, with steam blowing out of the man's ears. Accompanied by the original envelope (some tears to the edges and an area of paper loss to the verso) hand addressed by Dean and also illustrated by him with a drawing of a steer's head to the verso (which also features various notes in another hand). Autograph letters of Dean are of the utmost rarity and the present example is written at a particularly significant moment in the actor's brief career. Penned shortly before Hollywood came calling, in the letter Dean expresses himself in the forthright, candid manner similar to that which he would soon project on the big screen. VGAt the time of the present letter Dean was involved in rehearsals for a production of The Immoralist, based on Andre Gide's 1902 novel of the same title. The play premiered at the Royale Theatre in New York on 8th February 1954 and ran for ninety-six performances. The Immoralist was set in France and North Africa and Dean played the role of Bachir, a homosexual Algerian houseboy. Louis Jourdan performed in the role of Michel, a gay archaeologist who marries Micheline (played by Geraldine Page) in an effort to curb his homosexual instincts. Unable to consummate the marriage, the newly-weds travel from Normandy to Biskra for a honeymoon. At Biskra, Michel is seduced by Bachir, but this also allows him to sleep with his wife, who becomes pregnant. Rehearsals for the play did not go smoothly for the director Herman Shumlin who was replaced with Daniel Mann, and Dean's behaviour at the time was described as erratic. Indeed, his friend Hal Hackady later recalled that 'Dean was not very happy playing the young Arab. He didn't like the plot. I also believe he didn't like playing a homosexual on Broadway. He felt uncomfortable.' Despite Dean's misgivings about the play, reflected in the present letter, his performance as Bachir was admired by Elia Kazan who offered him a role in East of Eden and the opportunity of a screen test at Warner Bros. Three starring roles followed, as the loner Cal Trask in East of Eden (1955), the troubled teenager Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and the surly ranch hand Jett Rink in Giant (1956), before the cultural icon's career was cut tragically short owing to his death in a car crash at the young age of 24.It is understood that Barbara Glenn was first introduced to Dean in New York by their mutual friend the actor Martin Landau in late 1940s/early 1950s. Dean and Glenn's romantic relationship was believed to be an intense one involving multiple break-ups and reconciliations, and represented Glenn's first serious, mature relationship.
