§ Sax Shaw (Scottish, 1919-2000) King David - a study for a cartoon possible partial signature lower right, inscribed ""David Cartoon"" to the reverse oil on canvas, rolled and unframed Provenance: From an Edinburgh textile Mill, thus possibly a design for a rug or wall hanging. The Sax Shaw appears to be a cartoon ( design ) for a textile, possibly a rug or wall hanging, hence its logical connection to it being left at a textile mill, although we do not know if it was ever produced or not, and is very similar to one shown as an example of the artist`s work, on the web page giving details of his Edinburgh Exhibition http://saxshaw.com/exhibition-catalogue/ ( CLICK HEADER TAB `exhibition catalogue ), then it is picture no` 12. It is unknown whether the design was ever produced in a textile. Sax Shaw designed stained-glass windows which feature in churches all over Scotland; produced modern British tapestry at the Dovecote studio, and became a mentor to generations of students at Edinburgh and Glasgow schools of art. Has been rolled up. Unframed.
A Regency mahogany sofa, the rectangular back, slightly down scrolled arms and seat upholstered in machine woven foliate tapestry upon square section and ring turned tapering legs with brass caps and castors, 198cm Further Information In our opinion, the condition of this lot is good to very good. Structurally the sofa is sturdy and the legs are all stiff and secure. The upholstery is in good condition, it is quite worn on the edges in places. The seats which you would perhaps expect to be more heavily worn are in fact showing very little signs of wear. We have attached additional images showing the condition of the upholstery so you can make a decision for yourself.

With only two exceptions, the drawings by Michelangelo in the Royal Library were first recorded in the collection of George III. This is one of Michelangelo`s most majestic studies of a nude, possibly intended for teaching purposes having the proportions of various parts of the body indicated. Throughout his life the artist was drawn to the investigation of musculature and form, as reflected in this drawing. Of his few pupils, Sebastiano del Piombo (c.1485-1547) was probably the most adept and it was possibly drawn for Sebastiano as a teaching aid.Print size inches: 6.2 x 9.8
