WILL DAVIES (BRITISH, B. 1980)Peregrine Falcon (2022)signed with initials 'WD' (to lower front of base)Purbeck marble on an oak stand57.5cm high x 19.2cm wide x 26cm deepProvenanceThe artistFootnoteWill Davies has worked with stone,clay and bronze for twenty years. Following his early appointment as a stonemason, Will was awarded the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) Scholarship to study historical stone carving at The City & Guilds of London Art School. This lead to an industrious career as a freelance sculptor, workingon a number of high profile projects and public art works, such as theprow sculpture that adorned Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee barge. Will's clients include the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Battle of BritainMemorial Trust. Today, Will is Head Mason at Winchester Cathedral and combines his love of sculpture with his passion for restoring andconserving Britain’s rich heritage and historic architecture. His responsibilities include carving ornamentations such as gargoyles and saints, the recently carved saint on the south transept gable end being a fine example. Working on the north transept, Will became closely acquainted with the Cathedral’s resident pair of nesting peregrine falcons, fondlynamed Winnie and Chester. In 2021, after fathering fifteen chicks over five years, Chester sadly passed away and Will was inspired to sculpt this majestic peregrine falcon from Purbeck marble in his memory.Condition reportThis is a unique piece. Condition is good, it is in 'as carved' condition.

Head of Medusa after Greek models, 18th century.Wax.Measurements: 6,8 x 8,2 cm.Medusa was in Greek mythology a female chthonic being that turned into stone those who looked at her fixedly in the eyes. She was beheaded by Perseus, who then used her head as a weapon until she later gave it to the goddess Athena, who placed it on the aegis, her shield. Since ancient times, Medusa has been immortalised in numerous works of art, both in sculpture (as on this occasion) and in paintings on vases.

BRAMER, Leonaert (1596-1674). Album containing 25 brush and grey ink and watercolour drawings presenting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Painted on vellum and tipped in on 24 lvs. Bound in 18th c. mottled cf. bind. w. dec. gilt spine. NOTE:Collection of 23 fine drawings presenting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, all tipped in on blueish laid paper, measuring c. 138 x c. 195 mm each. Leonaert Bramer, Dutch genre and history painter, active mainly in his native Delft, traveled widely in Italy and France between 1614 and 1628. He was one of the members of the Bentvueghels (Dutch for 'group of birds') and also one of the few Dutch artists to paint frescoes in Holland, but none of his work in this medium survived. He evidently knew well the greatest of his Delft contemporaries, Vermeer, for he came to the latter's defense when his future mother-in-law was trying to prevent him from marrying her daughter. In fact, it is likely that Bramer, rather than Carel Fabritius, was Vermeer's teacher. Some of the Metamorphoses drawings are numbered in the outer lower corners, but - if so - in an incomprehensible sequence and with gaps. The drawing of 'Actaeon and Artemis' (the 7th drawing in the album counted from the 1st) seems to be monogrammed 'LB' in the outer right lower corner. The album contains paintings of many famous stories: 'Pygmalion and Galatea', 'The Fall of Phaeton', 'Cadmus killing the dragon', 'Perseus turns Phineus to stone using Medusa's head', 'Deucalion and Phyrrha after the flood', 'Icarus receiving wings by his father', 'Meleager and Atalanta', 'Narcissus', 'Latona and the Lycian Farmers', 'Circe changing Ulysses' Men into Beasts', 'Mars and Venus surprised by Vulcan', etc. The album includes also 2 other, but smaller, drawings on vellum in a similar style, one of which represents a man sitting on a block of stone pointing with one arm to the sky (134 x 76 mm), and the other is a drawing on a circular piece of vellum (Ø 64 mm) of a young man lying (on top of a dune?) and with edge lettering in the upper margin "pa[e]nsezamoi", monogrammed 'P.T.' (perhaps Philips Tidemans (1657-1705)?). The latter have no clear connection to the Metamorphoses drawings. On the upper paste down a written former owner's entry is laid down: "Eigendom van [possession of] Bsse. M. v. Tuyll v. Serooskerken van Coelhorst, Lange Vijverberg 20 Den Haag". This album was part of the exhibition in Delft in 1994 'Leonaert Bramer, 1596-1674 - Ingenious Painter and Draftsman in Rome and Delft'. On the lower paste down 'Leonard Bramer' has been written in an old hand. As far as we have been able to determine, the v°-sides of the drawings are blank.
