Lot 1339

Full title: Jan van Kessel (1626-1679): Exotic birds in an oriental landscape, oil on copperDescription:Work: 24,8 x 18 cm Frame: 34,2 x 28,1 cm The verso with a customs stamp and the number '6' in old ink. Dr. Klaus Ertz confirmed the authorship of Jan I van Kessel in February 2015. The painting forms a beautiful symbiosis between east and west. Jan van Kessel the Elder or Jan van Kessel (I), was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp in the mid 17th century. He practised in many genres including studies of insects, floral still lifes, marines, river landscapes, paradise landscapes, allegorical compositions, scenes with animals and genre scenes. As a scion of the Brueghel family many of his subjects took inspiration of the work of his grandfather Jan Brueghel the Elder. On the other hand, a Chinese city can be disentangled in the background. In the middle plan we see men with a 'queue', a hairstyle characterized by a bare forehead and a single long braid of hair. This type of hairstyle, laid down by decree on July 21, 1645, was part of a long process involving hairstyles and the Manchu conquest of China.

Lot 1

ANN CARRINGTON (BRITISH B.1962)PEARLY QUEEN OF ST JAMES'S PALACEacrylic and pearl buttons hand sewn on black linen, in artist's perspex box120 x 110cm (47 x 43¼ in.)"Interestingly, the most reproduced work of art in history is not the Mona Lisa. Sculptor Arnold Machin's portrait of the Queen has sold more than 200 billion copies since it was issued in 1967 as the new UK postage stamp. The Machin design has become instantly recognisable - an iconic piece of 20th century design.Collecting stamps as a child, I always found the Machin image strikingly beautiful. As the years went by, this humble stamp I unthinkingly attached to hundreds of envelopes became invisible to me with familiarity, yet gave a sense of continuity.A few years ago, while mulling these things over, a letter arrived at my studio. On a whim I removed the stamp, photographed it and projected the image on to the wall, blowing it up to the size of a small Royal Mail van. On this scale the printing dots looked like buttons, which got me thinking of another great London establishment - the Pearly Kings and Queens.Combining these two threads of thought, my first Pearly Queen was born. A Machin stamp was enlarged on to black canvas and embroidered from pearl buttons specially dyed in a kaleidoscope of high-pitched disco patchwork colours. It was commissioned by Jacob Rothschild in celebration of the Queens 80th birthday, and now hangs in Waddesdon Manor as part of the Rothschild Collection.Elton John, Gwyneth Paltrow and the Earl of Westminster have all commissioned Pearly Queens, but making a queen for the Queen(!) was the pinnacle. Created as a special commission for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and made to complement the crimson velvet and golden button banner for the Royal Barge, the stamp artwork hung in the Queen's waiting room.You can't just reproduce Machin's beautiful postage stamp of the Queen - even if it is a hundred times bigger and made from velvet and buttons. One has to have an official licence. Every one of my Pearly Queens is officially licensed by Royal Mail Ltd and The British Postal Museum Archive."- Ann Carrington
