Louis de Moni Breda 1698-1771 Leiden A game seller holding a mallard drake at a window together with a basket and other ducks and rabbits on a stone ledge signed lower centre: L: De Moni F oil on panel stamped on the reverse with the inventory number: 247 34 by 25.5 cm.; 13.375 by 10 in. Louis de Moni was born in Breda and studied under Charles de Biset and then under Jan Thomas van Kessel before moving to the Hague where he enrolled with the Academy in the Hague in 1721. Between 1724-5 he held the position of teeknaar under Phillip van Dyck and with whom he worked in Kassel until 1750 when he returned to Leiden and where he settled until his death. De Moni was active as an artist but he is also recorded as an art dealer and a restorer. The subject matter of this charming picture also works as a sexual pun the Dutch verb vogelen meaning to hunt birds was also much used in common parlance as a synonym for sexual intercourse. The motif of comely young women set within niches selling poultry is common theme within the Leiden school of fijnschilders and the double entendre would not have been lost on its contemporary audience. This lot is sold with a copy of a certificate from Dr. Walter Bernt dated Munich November 1974 confirming the attribution to de Moni.

Joan Mir—, 1893-1983 GALET OVALE inscribed M on the verso ceramic on stone 21.2 by 8.5 by 1.4cm.; 8.375 by 3.375 by .5in. Executed in 1956 this work is unique. Literature Jose Pierre & Jose Corredor-Matheos, Mir— & Artigas, Ceramiques, Paris, 1974 p. 212 no. 131 illustrated Mir— first met Spanish ceramicist, Josep Llorens Artigas, in Barcelona in 1912. Their collaboration began in 1944 when they produced a series of tiles. However, these initial experimentations were unsatisfactory to both parties. Mir— and Artigas wanted to avoid the works being merely a transferral of Mir—'s paintings onto a ceramic base.. Instead, they aimed to produce works which responded directly to the ceramic medium.. In pursuit of this aim, Mir— took to decorating broken and abandoned fire clay with enamel.. Between 1954 and 1960 Mir— produced his greatest ceramics output, aided not only by Antigas himself, but also by his son Joan.. Mir— would produce sculptures from found objects and natural materials which would be tranlated into clay by Artigas.. Many of the works required a highly refined firing and glazing process which produced numerous 'accidents' and unexpected results.. For Mir—, these 'accidents' were an integral part of the creative process and added to the work rather than detracting from its perfect state.
