Carus, Carl Gustav (attr.) Leipzig 1789 - Dresden 1869 19,5 x 26 cm, o.R. Fenster in der Burgruine von Tharandt. Aquarell und Bleistift/Papier. Provenienz: Aus süddeutschem Adelsbesitz. Das vorliegende Aquarell zeigt ein Fenster in der Burgruine von Tharandt, einer 13 km südwestlich von Dresden gelegenen Ortschaft. Carus war offenbar mehrfach in Tharandt und hat die dortige Ruine in verschiedenen Ansichten festgehalten, wie einige Bleistiftzeichnungen im Kupferstich-Kabinett der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden belegen. Eine Zeichnung mit demselben Motiv ist nahezu vom selben Standpunkt aus entstanden (Inv.-Nr. C 1963-197). Ebenso wie die Dresdener Zeichnung wird man auch das vorliegende Aquarell als Vorstudie für das Gemälde "Aussicht" sehen dürfen, das bei Grisebach in Berlin im November 2011 als Lot Nr. 103 versteigert wurde. Vgl. auch Marianne Prause, Carl Gustav Carus. Leben und Werk, Berlin 1968, WVZ Nr. 22 und Friedrich von Boetticher, Malerwerke des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, Bd. I,1 s.v. Carus Nr. 3. CARUS, CARL GUSTAV (attr., 1789-1869). A window in the ruined castle of Tharandt near Dresden. Watercolour and pencil/paper. The present watercolour shows a window in the castle ruins of Tharandt, a village 13 km southwest of Dresden. Carus has apparently been in Tharandt several times and has made studies of the ruins in different views, as some pencil drawings in the gallery of prints of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden are showing. A drawing with the same motif has been made from almost the same point of view (Inv.No. C 1963- 197). Just like the Dresden drawing, the present watercolor could also be seen as a preliminary study for the painting "Aussicht", which was auctioned at Grisebach, Berlin in November 2011 as lot no. 103. Cf. also Marianne Prause, Carl Gustav Carus. Leben und Werk, Berlin 1968, catalogue raisonné no. 22 and Friedrich von Boetticher, Malerwerke des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, vol. I, 1 s.v. Carus no. 3.

Jack Butler Yeats RHA (1871-1957) The Rake Crossing Sligo Bridge Watercolour, 35.5 x 25.5cm (14 x 10'') Signed Provenance: With The Dawson Gallery, label Verso. Yeats specialized in depicting various characters of the West of Ireland in his early watercolours and oils. The Rake is one of these figures. The artist first sketched what he described as a 'rake', that is a stylish man of dissolute habits, in Galway in 1900, making a watercolour painting of the figure the following year. The work under consideration here, dates to 1908, and is also known as Sligo Bridge and shows another rake crossing the Garavogue river in the centre of Sligo, Yeats's hometown. Silhouetted against the streets and houses, the figure ambles along with his hands firmly in his pockets. Such a pose was associated with idleness and was considered by the Victorians as suggestive of defiance and even vulgarity and impudence. The dapper young man wears a neat muffler and a smart hat. He turns to gaze to his right, across the street, at some unseen but evidently, judging from his grinning expression, amusing sight. Orange and blue tones delineate the structure of the houses, the brickwork of the bridge and the shadows cast by the figure. These complimentary colours, pervasive throughout the composition, are subtle in tone. They diffuse the tension of the jaunty figure integrating him into his surroundings of open spaces and clear expansive light. Movement is conveyed in the striding legs of the man, the dancing gait of his feet and by his twisted torso. The torrential waves of the river that rise up in the background add to this sense of immediacy and veracity. Yeats gave The Rake to his friend, the Rev. Arnold Harvey who was rector at Lissadell, close to Sligo. The artist stayed with the cleric in the summer of 1908 and a sketchbook, now in the National Gallery of Ireland, records many of the incidents of the visit. The Rake is very likely based on an encounter experienced on this sojourn. Harvey and Yeats and his wife Cottie had met at Coole Park in the early 1900s when Harvey was employed by Lady Gregory as a tutor in classics to her son Robert. He was ordained as a Church of Ireland minister in 1903. He corresponded with Yeats and the two friends visited each other over the following years. The Rake is an amusing and empathetic image of a young manabout town and diverges from the disapproving portrayals of the Irish found in more conventional representations of the time. The work was exhibited in London and Dublin before being given to Harvey, who presumably shared Yeats's appreciation of the rake. Dr Róisín Kennedy, October 2020

Plunkett, Joseph Mary [1887-1916], Proclamation Signatory An original Painting of a Landscape Scene, oil on canvas board, framed, 29cms h x 39cms w (11 1/2" x 15 1/2"), Signed Ióseph Ó Pluinghcéid lower left, further signed and inscribed on rear in Irish, 'Ióseph Ó Pluinghcéid / Sráid Mhic Uí Uilliam Uachtar / Baile Átha Cliath / Tobar Neamh-Parthalán' [St. Bartholomew's Well] and dated 1916. (1)Joseph Plunkett was a son of George Noble Plunkett, an antiquarian and fine art connoisseur, Director of the National Museum 1907-16 and prominent in other learned societies. Joseph was a poet and a friend of Thomas MacDonagh, and became editor of the Irish Review, and although he was seriously ill with TB (then an incurable disease), he became Director of Operations for the Irish Volunteers and a member of the I R B's Military Council. It is said that he drafted the plan for the Dublin rising. He was one of the seven signatories of the Provisional Government's Proclamation of Independence. He left a convalescent home to serve in the GPO through the Rising, where his aide-de-camp was Michael Collins, and afterwards was court-martialled and sentenced to death. Shortly before his execution,he married his sweetheart Grace Gifford in Kilmainham Jail.As well as his poetry, he painted as a recreation, including some landscapes of Mayo and Donegal scenes, where he went to learn Irish. A watercolour was sold at Adams in April 2016; this is the first oil painting we have seen. Although the provenance is obscure, there is in our view no doubt about the signature and inscription. There is a St. Bartholomew's Well (Tobar Pharthaláin) near Bantry, Co. Cork; there may be others.

George Barret RA (1732-1784), watercolour, figures in boat by rocky outcrop with sheep in landscape. 21 cm x 26 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The painting is in generally very good order with no significant issues. There is perhaps slight fading to the right hand side in the sky area, but this may simply be the composition. The painting is well mounted, framed and glazed. The frame is a simple gilt frame.

W. Sidney Cooper, watercolour, Highland cattle in landscape. 35 cm x 26 cm, framed, signed and dated 1902. CONDITION REPORT: There are some minor traces of foxing in the top left hand quadrant of the painting. It is principally above the mountains in the clouds. There are four or five easily visible spots and other smaller ones. The paint may be a little faded in the mountain and sky area. This may be the way in which the picture was painted as the cattle and gorse etc are quite strong in colour. The gilt mount is in reasonable condition as is the frame which has only minor losses to the gesso, particularly in the bottom right hand corner. There are also further edge nibbles and other small losses to the beading.

Yes - not watercolour. There is some flaking to the paint at the bottom right towards the edge - clearly visible in the photographs. The piece appears generally slightly grubby - arguably benefitting from a good clean. The reverse has tape around the edge and signs of old paper being glued - thankfully not over the writing. The ivory appears slightly warped. Glass is basically intact. The case is slightly warped and with signs of old paper labels. The case will close but under duress (not too much). One closure hook is missing. Silk to interior marked - suggest requires attention. This said, overall the painting looks good.

Die Arbeit ist im Archiv der Zeichnungen und Aquarelle Lyonel Feiningers unter der Nr. 1066-11-01-11 aufgenommen.ProvenienzMarlborough International Fine Art, London (Rahmenetikett); Privatsammlung Norddeutschland„Ich lebe von der Erinnerung und der Sehnsucht - sie bilden wohl die Triebkraft zu allen tiefen Werken der Kunst; aber das berauschende Erleben von Neuem und Congenialem schafft den Boden für eine große Erneuerung und Vision [...]“ schreibt Lyonel Feininger 1930 an seine Frau Julia (Brief vom 9. August 1930, zit. nach Ausst. Kat. Feininger. Frühe Werke und Freunde, Wuppertal 2006, S. 67).Als Künstler begeisterte sich Feininger zeitlebens für maritime Themen, und so verwundert es nicht, dass er sich 1949 mit großem Elan dem Auftrag eines großformatigen Wandbildes für die im Bau befindliche SS Constitution widmet. Konzipiert als klassischer Ocean-Liner sollte der Dampfer noch im selben Jahr in Massachusetts vom Stapel laufen. Für die Reederei American Export Lines fuhr die Constitution ab 1951 zunächst im Liniendienst auf der Route New York-Genua-Neapel-Gibraltar und später auch als Kreuzfahrtschiff. Von Feininger sind eine Reihe von Entwürfen für dieses Projekt überliefert, die an Bord jedoch nicht zur Ausführung kamen. Umso wichtiger erscheinen somit heute die panoramaartigen Aquarelle des Künstlers, in denen Feininger seine atmosphärischen marinen Szenen noch einmal in ein ganz besonderes Format bringt. In unseren Entwürfen greift Feininger nicht auf Dampfer wie die Constitution zurück, sondern auf geisterhaft wirkende Großsegler. Wie als Botschafter eines vergangenen Zeitalters nähern sie sich dem Betrachter prachtvoll geschmückt mit phantastischen Flaggen aus dem Nebel. Lyonel FeiningerDesign for Mural "SS Constitution".

The work is registered in the archive of drawings and watercolours by Lyonel Feininger under no. 1066-11-01-11.ProvenanceMarlborough International Fine Art, London (Rahmenetikett); Privatsammlung Norddeutschland“I live on memory and yearning - they surely form the driving force behind all deep works of art; however, the intoxicating experience of the new and congenial provides the soil for a great renewal and vision,” wrote Lyonel Feininger to his wife Julia in 1930 (Letter of 9 August 1930, cited in exhib. cat. Feininger. Frühe Werke und Freunde, Wuppertal 2006, p. 67).Throughout his life, maritime subjects captivated Feininger as an artist, and so it is no surprise that, in 1950, he enthusiastically devoted his attention to a commission to create a large-format wall painting for the SS Constitution, which was being built at that time. Conceived as a classic ocean liner, the steamer was to be launched later that year in Massachusetts. From 1951 the Constitution served the line New York-Genoa-Naples-Gibraltar for the company American Export Lines and later also served as a cruise liner. A number of Feininger's design sketches for this project are preserved, although they were never carried out on-board. The artist's panorama-like watercolours thus seem all the more important today: in them, Feininger once again introduces his atmospheric maritime scenes into a very distinctive format. In our designs, Feininger makes use not of steamers like the Constitution but spectral tall ships. Like emissaries from a bygone era they emerge out of the fog, splendidly adorned with fantastic flags, to present themselves to their viewers.

Mein Leben, Köln 1976, S. 376-379 sowie Martin Urban, Nachwort, ebenda S. 418Die Farb- und Formgewalt von Noldes Aquarell „Tosendes Meer“ erinnert daran, welchen künstlerisch hohen Stellenwert die Meeresbilder in seinem Oeuvre einnehmen. Die Ölbilder entstehen - rauschhaft und wie in Extase gemalt - z.T. hintereinander in großen gemalten Folgen, insbesondere 1930 anlässlich des Aufenthaltes auf Sylt (vgl. „Meer“ A - F, Urban 1100-1105; davon nur 4 Bilder heute erhalten, darunter „Meer B“ in der Tate Gallery, „Meer E“ in der Nolde-Stiftung). Nach dem Krieg 1947 folgen vergleichbare Formate, von denen eines Jolanthe Nolde gehörte und im Heidelberger Kunstverein 1958 zusammen mit dem vorliegenden Aquarell ausgestellt war (vgl. Urban 1290 sowie Urban 1291-1292, „Meer“ I-III). Noldes ausdrucksstarke Papierarbeiten begleiteten die Gemälde, das Medium des Aquarells schien dazu wie geschaffen.Wie sehr den Künstler das Thema als Erlebnis fesselte, zeigen seine stakkatoartigen Ausführungen „Am Westmeer“ von seinem Sylter Aufenthalt im Sommer und Herbst 1930: „Es war, als ob die freie Luft, der salzige Geschmack, die tosenden Wogen mich spornten und beglückten. […] Die Wogen, ihr Grollen, die Wolken vor und über mir, der Strand, die Dünen, das graue Gras, es alles war mein. […] Wie ein Trunkener lief ich stundenlang den Strand entlang oder durch den flüssigen Sand der Dünen, meine Gesänge schreiend, wo es einsam war, schreiend mit den Möwen, die auch so schreien. […] Ich begriff alles kaum und nahm es hin, gelassen bewegt, wie auch meine Farben es waren, ob ich die graugrünen Dünen malte, das tosende Meer oder die Menschen.“ (Emil Nolde, Mein Leben, op.cit., S. 377). Seine Naturerfahrung ist eine mit allen Sinnen wahrgenommene und dieses sensorische, auch akustische Moment findet sich mit aller Meisterschaft in seinem Werk umgesetzt.In der vorliegenden Komposition ist die Intensität und Farbfrische des Mediums in selten schöner Erhaltung besonders beglückend: die Farben glühen und fluoreszieren, man erlebt die Bewegung untergründiger Tiefenströmungen in starken wie rhythmischen Hell-Dunkel-Kontrasten und transparenten Farblagen, die Wogen mit ihrer explosiv aufschäumenden Gischt als ein moduliertes, blendendes Weiß, wobei der Malgrund, ein faseriges Japanbütten, einbezogen wird. Die Expressivität des Blattes resultiert nicht zuletzt aus der Sicherheit und Freiheit, mit der Nolde instinkthaft das Motiv quasi à rebours entwickelt, denn die flüssige malerische Bewegung unterstreicht die Urgewalt der von rechts nach links heranlaufenden, unruhigen Wassermassen, die sich zu einem schimmernden zentralen Brecher aufsteilen.

Eine Privat-Sammlung, cat. no. 35 ("Tosendes Meer")LiteratureCf. Emil Nolde, Am Westmeer 1930, in: Emil Nolde. Mein Leben, Cologne 1976, p. 376-379, and Martin Urban, Nachwort, ibid. p. 418The chromatic and formal force of Nolde's watercolour “Tosendes Meer” reminds us of the high artistic status that seascapes possessed within his oeuvre. The pictures done in oils - painted in exhilaration, as if in ecstasy - were sometimes created one after the other in large painted series, particularly in 1930, on the occasion of his stay on Sylt (see “Meer” A - F, Urban 1100-1105; of which only 4 pictures are preserved today, including “Meer B” in the Tate Gallery and “Meer E” in the Nolde-Stiftung). After the war, in 1947, paintings of comparable formats followed, one of which belonged to Jolanthe Nolde and was exhibited at the Heidelberger Kunstverein in 1958, together with the present watercolour (see Urban 1290 and Urban 1291-1292, “Meer” I-III). Nolde's highly expressive works on paper accompanied his paintings; the medium of the watercolour seemed particularly adequate for this purpose.The extent to which this theme captivated the artist as an experience is shown by the staccato-like observations “Am Westmeer”, from his stay on Sylt in the summer and autumn of 1930: “It was as if the open air, the salty taste, the roaring waves spurred me on and delighted me. […] The waves, their rumbling, the clouds before and above me, the beach, the dunes, the grey grass: it was all mine. […] Like a drunk I walked along the beach for hours or through the liquid sand of the dunes, screaming my songs where it was secluded, screaming with the seagulls, which also scream like that. […] I barely understood everything and accepted it, calmly moved - like my colours were, too - whether I was painting the greyish green dunes, the roaring sea or the people.” (Emil Nolde, Mein Leben, Cologne, 1976, p. 377). His experience of nature is one perceived with all the senses and this sensory, also acoustic, aspect finds itself realised with complete mastery in his work.The intensity and fresh colours of the medium are unusually finely preserved and are particularly pleasing in the present composition: the colours smoulder and glow, we experience the movement of deep, submerged currents in stark and rhythmic contrasts of light and dark as well as transparent layers of colour, and we experience the waves, with their explosively foaming spray, as a modulated, dazzling white that also incorporates the painting's support - a fibrous, laid Japan paper. The sheet's expressivity is not least the result of the confidence and freedom with which Nolde has instinctively developed the motif, so to speak, “à rebours”: the fluid painterly movement underscores the primal force of the troubled masses of water flowing towards us from right to left, rising up steeply into a shimmering, central breaker.

Das strahlende Blau des Mittelmeeres bildet die Kulisse, in der der Betrachter gemeinsam mit dem Künstler auf ein imposant aufgebautes, jedoch nur mit sparsamen malerischen Mitteln erfasstes Früchtestillleben und weiter über die Balustrade eines Balkons blickt, wo sich Schwimmer, Segler und Dampfschiffe im Wasser tummeln.Dufy arbeitete mit Farbfeldern in intensivem Rot und mehreren Blautönen, in die er die Bildelemente - Früchte, Balustrade, Schiffe und Schwimmer - skizzenhaft in schwarz, rot und weiß einschreibt. Der Farbeindruck erinnert, vielleicht nicht zufällig, an die französischen Nationalfarben. Der Einsatz von leuchtender Farbe und ihre Verwendung als eigenständiges Bildmittel, die Dufy 1905 im Salon des Indépendants in den Werken von Henri Matisse und André Derain kennengelernt hatte, faszinierten den jungen Maler solchermaßen, dass er sich den fauvistischen Künstlern anschloss. Eine intensive Farbigkeit, insbesondere das Blau seiner Regatta-Bilder, kennzeichnete von da ein sein Oeuvre.

Gemälde, Aquarelle, Gouachen, Zeichnungen, cat. with full-page colour illus.In this gouache Raoul Dufy has laid out and thoroughly enjoyed telling the story of a Mediterranean scene filled with the lightness of summer. The radiant blue of the Mediterranean Sea provides the setting within which viewers, together with the artist, gaze at a still life of fruit that is grandly composed but whose depiction makes only sparing use of the means of painting and - beyond it, over the balustrade of a balcony - at swimmers, sailing boats and steamboats bustling about in the water.Dufy works with fields of colour in an intense red and multiple shades of blue, into which he has sketchily inscribed the elements of the picture - fruit, balustrade, ships and swimmers - in black, red and white. The chromatic impression is reminiscent, perhaps not coincidentally, of the national colours of France. Dufy had become familiar with the employment of luminous colour and its use as an autonomous pictorial device through the works of Henri Matisse and André Derain at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905, and it fascinated the young painter so much that he joined the Fauve artists. An intense tonality, particularly the blue of his regatta pictures, characterised his oeuvre from that time on.

His first sketch in oil of the interior of the medieval basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, now in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, was done on site on or around 11th April that year and was to be the basis for a highly finished watercolour, dated 1827 (Wallace Collection, no.714), with differences in the positioning of the figures. While in Milan Bonington also painted an interior, now lost, of the cathedral, before he and Rivet continued on to Verona in April 1827.The 1977 Christie’s catalogue description notes in its provenance: 'Dr Marion Spencer has kindly identified this as the picture sold in the Bonington Studio sale'.Condition report: Appears to be oil on laid card mounted onto a small panel with a cradle.

DAVID JONES (1895 - 1974) watercolour - view of an unknown rural building with a foreground of enclosed garden with a dividing path, shrubs and trees, circa 1920/1930s, with Zwemmer Gallery label 'Orchard in Mallorca', old pencil inscription 'David Jones' verso, perhaps not by the artist but by an owner, 37 x 48cms Provenance: painting newly discovered, purchased from an estate sale in the Welsh borders by the vendor, incomplete torn label verso Auctioneer's Note: while being confident that the style and technique is that of David Jones, especially seen in the trees, shrubs and sky, we do not think that the title is correct on the label and have doubts as to whether the label relates to the picture or even the artist at all. The shared opinion, is that the building has the appearance of traditional barns found in the Welsh-English borders, rather than Mallorca in Spain. It has also been suggested that the building may be part of Piggots Farm, Buckinghamshire. There are similarities to Capel-y-Ffin monastery but this has been discounted by the present owner-occupiers. Certainly we have found no evidence of the artist ever visiting Spain. We believe that the label is for the Zwemmer Gallery, London as they used a sans serif typeface and their address was Litchfield Street. Acknowledgements: we would like to thank Valerie Wynne Williams, Peter Lord, Peter Wakelin and William Gibbs of Brecknock Art Trust for their invaluable help with researching this unrecorded painting and with its attribution to David Jones Presentation & Condition: the painting was delivered to us in a circa 1920s / 1930s frame and glass, it was secured by old rusted tacks and had clearly not been out of the frame for a long time, we removed the painting from the frame for research purposes and the picture remains out of frame for examination by prospective viewers, frame and glass retained
