THE GIRL IN THE PULLMANOne Sheet (27" X 41"); Style AVery Fine+ Folded Pathe, 1927The lovely stone litho one sheet offered here is a very rarely seen style spotlighting Prevost in a stylish yellow and red ensemble. This vibrant and very rare poster has the most minimal fold and edge wear.Marie Prevost began her film career as one of Mack Sennet's "Bathing Beauties," but moved on to Universal and then Warner Brothers, where her status as a leading lady took off, with essential roles in such Ernst Lubitsch classics as The Marriage Circle (1924), Three Women (1924), and Kiss Me Again (1925). Her career was short-lived, however, as a series of increasingly crushing personal issues, as well as the advent of sound, led to a deep depression, which ended her career entirely by 1936. She passed the following year at the age of 40, a victim of acute alcohol poisoning and malnutrition. This film, however, captures Prevost at the height of her stardom, still a headliner and a famous leading lady. This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th.

RAOUL DUFY (1877-1953)Nature morte aux fruits cachet de l'atelier de l'artiste (en bas à droite)aquarelle, gouache et fusain sur papier stamped with artist's atelier stamp (lower right)watercolour, gouache and charcoal on paper39.5 x 56 cm. 15 9/16 x 22 1/16 in.Footnotes:L'authenticité de cette œuvre a été confirmée par Madame Fanny Guillon-Laffaille et Monsieur David Guillon. ProvenanceCollection particulière, France.Collection particulière, France (acquis auprès de celle-ci). Raoul Dufy a apporté une contribution significative au monde de la mode et des textiles à travers ses collaborations avec des maisons de couture renommées. A partir de 1905, Dufy chercha à transposer depuis la peinture, son esthétique à différents supports. Il élargit alors son éventail de techniques avec une maîtrise virtuose : gravure, illustration, céramique, décors de théâtre, décorations murales, tapisserie, ou encore textile, soulignant un attrait particulier pour les arts décoratifs. A ce titre, la création textile constitua une partie importante dans sa production artistique qui fut marquée par des collaborations prestigieuses avec le célèbre couturier Paul Poiret et avec la maison de soierie Bianchini-Férier. C'est à partir de 1910 que Paul Poiret et Raoul Dufy s'associèrent et fondèrent ensemble « La petite Usine », un modeste atelier artisanal boulevard de Clichy où l'artiste réalisait l'ensemble des étapes de la création : le dessin, la gravure sur bois puis l'impression sur tissu. Cette collaboration fut un tremplin pour Dufy qui poursuivit ses créations textiles à l'échelle industrielle avec la manufacture Bianchini-Férier. Il s'exprima « Me voilà donc amené à la décoration et à la mode, non par délassement ou par amusement mais pour une expérience sérieuse. Que d'échos cette période de ma vie ne réveille-t-elle pas en moi ! Grâce à Poiret et à Bianchini-Férier, j'ai pu réaliser cette relation de l'art et de la décoration, surtout montrer que la décoration et la peinture se désaltèrent à la même source. » Ses motifs floraux aux couleurs audacieuses transposées sur des tissus imprimés, contribuèrent à la création de textiles luxueux et élégants. Le style de Dufy, reconnaissable à ses couleurs vives, ses lignes fluides et des motifs inspirés de la nature, a été particulièrement bien adapté au monde de la mode. Ses œuvres ont été intégrées dans la conception de robes, foulards et accessoires, marquant une influence artistique dans ce domaine. Son esthétique joyeuse, vibrante et sa capacité à capturer le mouvement ont ajouté une dimension artistique aux vêtements et aux textiles, faisant de lui un artiste prisé dans le contexte de la haute couture.Raoul Dufy made a significant contribution to the world of fashion and textiles through his collaborations with renowned couture houses.Starting from 1905, Dufy sought to translate his aesthetic from painting to various mediums. He expanded his range of techniques with virtuoso mastery, including engraving, illustration, ceramics, theatre set design, murals, tapestries, and textiles, emphasising a particular attraction to decorative arts. In this regard, textile creation played a significant role in his artistic production, marked by prestigious collaborations with the famous fashion designer Paul Poiret and the silk house Bianchini-Férier.It was from 1910 that Paul Poiret and Raoul Dufy partnered and together founded 'La petite Usine', a modest artisan workshop on Boulevard de Clichy where the artist carried out all stages of creation: drawing, wood engraving, and fabric printing. This collaboration served as a stepping stone for Dufy, who continued his textile creations on an industrial scale with the Bianchini-Férier manufacture. In his own words: 'So here I am led to decoration and fashion, not for relaxation or amusement, but for a serious experience. What echoes this period of my life awakens in me! Thanks to Poiret and Bianchini-Férier, I was able to realise this connection between art and decoration, especially to show that decoration and painting draw from the same source.'His bold, colourful floral motifs transposed onto printed fabrics contributed to the creation of luxurious and elegant textiles. Dufy's recognisable style, characterised by vibrant colours, fluid lines, and nature-inspired motifs, was particularly well-suited to the world of fashion. His works were integrated into the design of dresses, scarves, and accessories, marking an artistic influence in this field.His joyful, vibrant aesthetic and ability to capture movement added an artistic dimension to clothing and textiles, making him a sought-after artist in the context of haute couture.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

§ CHARLES OPPENHEIMER R.S.A., R.S.W. (BRITISH 1876-1961) ON THE GRAND CANAL, VENICE Signed, oil on canvas Dimensions:76cm x 76cm (30in x 30in) Note: Though his name is inextricably linked with the Kirkcudbright School of artists, the half-German, Manchester-born-and-raised Oppenheimer did not in fact settle in this region until the end of World War One. Over time he became a respected stalwart of the Scottish art world and a Royal Scottish Academician. His oeuvre is firmly and famously associated with the depiction of Galloway. Less well known perhaps is the fact that, as his biographer Euan Robson puts it, “Italy was as much his muse as Galloway”. As a body of work, they are much less frequently seen outside private collections comparative to his Scottish subject matter. Lyon & Turnbull are therefore delighted to offer a scarce and significant Italian painting by the artist, the most monumental in scale and sophistication to be seen on the market for some years.Oppenheimer’s love affair with Italy was a long and enduring one. In 1896 at the age of 21 he won a funded prize to travel to Florence and Venice. A deep passion for the country began. He was, in fact, retracing the steps of his father Ludwig Oppenheimer, a diversely talented individual who reputedly studied mosaic design and manufacture in Venice in the 1860s. It is thought the artist and his wife Connie travelled to Italy on honeymoon in 1903 and continued to do so frequently after the interlude of WW1, visiting throughout the 1920s and 30s. Verona and Venice were his main destinations of choice. This makes great sense: Oppenheimer was a master of depicting water and the play of light and shadow, and Venice especially with its canals and densely arranged architecture would have provided endless compositional inspiration to tempt his brush.In 1913 Oppenheimer exhibited Italian pictures at Doig, Wilson and Wheatley gallery on George Street, Glasgow, as well as at the RSA. It was a significant exhibition and he received numerous positive reviews. The Glasgow Herald’s critic remarked: “Mr Oppenheimer’s work impresses by way of its distinguished draughtsmanship and a refined sense of colour…[The painting]…possesses exhilarating sparkle and there is a subtle restraint in colouring: there are none of those lurid splashes which give some pictures of Italy the effect of mere garishness.”These words could quite easily be applied as a descriptor to the later painting of c.1928, On the Grand Canal, Venice, that we offer now for sale. Here we have a tranquil depiction of Venice’s most famous waterway, quiet and calm in the afternoon heat, the only sounds evoked being the lap of water against stone. Redolent, as the critic would have it, “…[of]…the drowsy felicity which belongs to life in these pleasant places.” The water is masterful; ripples and reflections rendered with comprehensive realism and skill. The light and heat of the day glare and glance off the stone walls whilst darkened alcoves and interiors coolly and enticingly recede into cleverly described shadow. Oppenheimer, as the Herald critic alluded, did not have a hyperbolic artistic vocabulary. This is attested to by the subtle tonalities of the palette here, which allow Venice to weave its romantic magic simply and on its own terms, free from excessive artistic licence.Oppenheimer’s artworks were sketched en plein air, indeed sometimes painted outdoors too before finishing in the studio from earlier studies. One certainly senses that immediacy here; the plein air approach almost certainly responsible for rendering this painting so very transportive and truthfully evocative. One such working sketch for this painting is recorded in Robson’s monograph of the artist (Euan Robson, Charles Oppenheimer: From Craftsman to Artist, Atelier Books, Edinburgh, 2012, p.73, pl.s39), a watercolour c.1928, held now in a private collection.The subject, Palazzo Contarini Fasan, is an unusual 15th-century Venetian gothic structure. It is also known as Casa di Desdemona for its famed associations with Shakespeare’s Othello. Legend has it that Nicola Contarini, a famous heroic leader in the wars against the Turks in the 1500s, once lived in the palazzo. He was said to have had dark skin, subsequently nicknamed "Moor". Contarini's wife, Palma Querini, was the inspiration, possibly, for the character of Desdemona. Exhausted by the brutal jealousy of her husband, she fled the marriage to return to her family. Furthermore, John Ruskin wrote in his The Seven Lamps of Architecture that the palazzo was "the most elaborate piece of architecture in Venice." Little wonder then, that the romanticism of the building’s legendary history and its unusual and beautiful façade captured the attention of Oppenheimer, who afforded it a substantially sized stretch of canvas.

Barboi. from Jane Buchanan dated 13th May 1873, on socle, 53cm high, 35cm wide, 18cm deep Provenance: Joanna Barnes Fine Art, London, November 1995. The Property of the Late Reverend John Watson. Footnotes: Note: William Brodie is reputed to have worked on the original marble model of Corinna, alternatively known as Corinna the Lyric Muse, whilst studying in Rome in 1853 under the supervision of the renown Scottish sculptor Lawrence Macdonald (1799-1878). A carved marble or stone head entitled 'Corinna' was apparently then exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in Edinburgh (known as 'The Twenty-Eighth') in 1854 which was presumably a fragment of the later finished work. A completed marble sculpture was then exhibited in the Academy's exhibition the following year (known as 'The Twenty-Ninth') in 1855.

Joyce was born in Allahabad, Utter Pradesh, India. Her father, William Wallach, was a Barrister in India. On 19th January 1924, she married Captain Jack Brittain Jones (1899-1975) of the Black Watch (1st Battalion), at a Society wedding at Middle Temple Church in London. In 1927, the couple had a daughter, Pauleen Victoria. By 1931, Jack and his family were living in India where Jack was Aide-de-Camp to Lord Willingdon, Viceroy of India.In 1931, George II of Greece (1890-1947) visited India where he met Jack and Joyce. From 1934, the correspondence from Joyce to George is loving and affectionate, clearly indicating that a deep and meaningful personal relationship had developed between them. In 1935, George II was divorced by his estranged wife, Princess Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956), who cited desertion. Joyce and Jack also divorced in 1935, citing Jack's adultery. George II had become King of Greece in 1922, but in 1924 Greece declared itself a Republic, and the monarchy was abolished. Eventually the Greek monarchy was restored in 1935 so George returned as King. Joyce and the King then began to lead a very private life together in Greece, often at the Tatoi Palace, the Royal family's summer residence, situated thirty miles from Athens, where George was able to indulge his love of farming. Joyce reportedly knitted, read and sat quietly. She was well-liked by George's sister-in-law, Katherine, and regarded as one of the family. It is reported that Joyce refused to marry George II because she believed that a morganatic marriage, like that of Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson (also divorced), would be damaging to George's position as monarch. In 1941, Germany occupied Greece and George fled to Crete, facing many dangers including his potential capture. A British destroyer transported him into exile in Cairo, Egypt. Later in 1943, Joyce accompanied George to the United States of America as his quiet and inconspicuous companion. Joyce also accompanied George on a visit to South Africa. They had then moved to London, where Joyce engaged in war work as a Fire Warden. Joyce was a particular friend of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent who was a Greek Princess by birth and a British Princess by marriage to Prince George, Duke of Kent. In 1946, a referendum restored the monarchy, and George II again returned to Greece as King. He desperately wanted Joyce to accompany him to Greece and put pressure on the British Government to permit her to join him. However, the Government was concerned to avoid political difficulties in Greece, and refused permission. Princess Katherine suggested that Joyce could live in Greece as her lady in waiting. Sadly, whilst waiting for a resolution and missing each other, George II died of a heart attack in his office in the Royal Palace in Athens and was buried at Tatoi Palace.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DIAMOND SINGLE-STONE RING, 19TH CENTURYThe Peruzzi-cut diamond, weighing 6.56 carats, mounted in silver and gold, ring size IFootnotes:The first brilliant-cut diamonds were introduced during the mid-17th century. This new style of cutting was known as the 'Mazarin'. The Mazarin-cut featured seventeen facets on the crown and the resulting fire and brilliance was incomparably better than the earlier rose-cut had achieved. It is largely agreed that Vincenzo Peruzzi, a diamond cutter from Venice, was the first person to cut a diamond with 56 facets, a table, and a culet, for a total of 58 facets. The resulting 'Peruzzi-cut' significantly increased the fire and brilliance previously achieved in the 'Mazarin-cut'. Peruzzi-cuts are exceedingly difficult to find because they were only made for about 20 years during the late 19th century. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

In 1922, the British Legion founded a factory to produce its own and continues to do so today. In 1926, Countess Haig established 'Lady Haig's Poppy Factory', which has been making poppies and supporting veterans since its founding, and notably employed veterans disabled by war during its early years.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
