Dame Laura KNIGHT (1877-1970) Pavlova & Mordkin, 1914 Limoges enamel plaque Initialled LK and dated 1914 to verso, 5.2 x 3.8cmProvenance - From the Estate of Ella Naper, thence by family descent, the estate of Maryella Pigott, niece of Ella Naper, Trewoofe House, Lamorna. Catalogue note: This is one of two very similar black and yellow enamels that Knight made depicting the Russian dancers Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) and Mikhail Mordkin (1880-1944). The other was given to her friend and patron Marjorie Averill in 1958 (sold Bonhams 2017). In an accompanying letter to Mrs Averill, dated 7 April, Knight writes 'At Last! I do hope you will like it. The enamel is Limoges, it is one of about eight I did in the year 1914 with the help of the jeweller, Mrs Ella Naper.'Ella Naper was Laura's friend and near neighbour at Trewoofe, just above the Lamorna Valley in Cornwall. As well as modelling for Laura (she was the model in Knight's seminal 1913 work 'Self Portrait with Model') she was a talented jeweller who had studied under Frank Partridge. Naper and Knight collaborated on a number of enamels, notably themed with dancers and the ballet, which Laura adored. Knight was an avid admirer of the prima ballerina Pavlova, who she became good friends with in later life. It is likely that Knight first saw Pavlova and Mordkin dance together at the Palace Theatre in London in 1910. As with Diagalev's 'Ballet Russe' the following year, they took London by storm; ‘Anna Pavlova and Michael Mordkin, "Russia's acknowledged greatest dancers and the famous leaders of the Imperial Russian Ballet," who made their debut at the Palace Theatre last night, are the last word in the art of dancing. The perfection of their art cannot be disputed.' Wrote the Daily Mail. It is not surprising that they made a strong impression upon Laura, so much so that in 1914, when draconian rules prevented artists particularly in coastal areas, from sketching or painting outdoors, she used them as inspiration for creativity in a new medium. These gorgeously jewel-like little works are a testament to Knight’s versatility. Enamel is a notoriously difficult medium to master and yet under Naper’s skilful guidance, Laura has created these beautifully expressive pieces, which fully capture the elegant grace of Pavlova’s lithe figure and the exuberant movement and fluidity of both dancers.Naper made a particularly fine, stone-set piece, the central jewel of which was one of Naper and Knight's enamels depicting a ballerina, which is most likely to represent Pavlova in her most famous role Le cygne (The Swan). This enamel has been bequeathed to Penlee House.

Dame Laura KNIGHT (1877-1970) Dancers of the Ballet Russe Limoges enamel plaque, 5.3 x 4.9cmProvenance - From the Estate of Ella Naper, thence by family descent, the estate of Maryella Pigott, niece of Ella Naper, Trewoofe House, Lamorna. Catalogue note: This is one from a series of enamels that Knight made depicting the dancers of Diagalev's 'Ballet Russe'. The Russian ballet troupe had first performed in Paris in 1909 to rapt audiences. Their exoticism was unlike anything Western Europe had seen before; culturally, they influenced everything from dance, music and fashion to interior design. This plaque is likely to depict The Polovtsian Dance from Prince Igor, which Knight would have seen when the Ballet Russe performed in London in 1911.In 1958 Knight gave one of her enamels to her friend and patron Marjorie Averill (sold Bonhams 2017). It depicted Pavlova and her partner Mikhail Mordkin. It is a very similar work to lot 16 in this sale. In an accompanying letter to Mrs Averill, dated 7 April, Knight writes 'At Last! I do hope you will like it. The enamel is Limoges, it is one of about eight I did in the year 1914 with the help of the jeweller, Mrs Ella Naper.'Ella Naper was Laura's friend and near neighbour at Trewoofe, just above the Lamorna Valley in Cornwall. As well as modelling for Laura (she was the model in Knight's seminal 1913 work 'Self Portrait with Model') she was a talented jeweller who had studied under Frank Partridge. Naper and Knight collaborated on a very small number of these enamels, all themed with dancers and the ballet. Knight adored the spectacle of the ballet and particularly the ballerina Pavlova, who she wrote about extensively about her in her autobiography:'I first saw Pavlova dancing with Mordkin. During another season, at the Palace Theatre, when her partner was Novikov, so thrilled was I, I never missed a show; she held me to such a degree that I became almost completely absorbed in her art. I knew her every step and gesture in every dance she did.' They made such a strong impression upon Laura it is not surprising that in 1914 when draconian rules prevented artists particularly in coastal areas from sketching or painting outdoors, she used them as inspiration for creativity in a new medium. These gorgeously jewel-like little works are a testament to Knight’s versatility. Enamel is a notoriously difficult medium to master and yet under Naper’s skilful guidance, Laura has created these beautifully expressive pieces, which fully capture the elegant grace of Pavlova’s lithe figure and the exuberant movement and fluidity of both dancers.Naper made a particularly fine, stone-set piece, the central jewel of which was one of Naper and Knight's enamels depicting a ballerina, which is most likely to represent Pavlova in her most famous role Le cygne (The Swan). This enamel has been bequeathed to Penlee House Museum & Gallery. This historic enamel has multiple fine cracks. These are likely to be part of the creative process. The frame is likely to date from the date of the plaque. It is of three-ply and wormed to the back.
