(36 13/16 x 43 7/8 in.)Footnotes:LiteratureA Gray, A Life in Pictures, Edinburgh, 2010, pp 42-43Gray modelled the faces of the disciples on travellers on the Glasgow underground railway. The picture exists only in reproduction, the original having been lost after having been 'left too long with a photocopying shop. When I went to collect it the firm no longer existed.'This version is a rare example for two reasons. The first is that the fact that Gray has annotated the notebook on the table. He lists all people depicted and also adds 'They have no wine' as well as the signature and date. The second is the later application of the blue paint in the background.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

PETER CARL FABERGE (Russia, 1846 - Switzerland, 1920).Wine decanter.Silver and terracotta.Missing a soldering point on the lid.With contrasts.With Raquel Meller inscription.Measurements: 24 x 12 x 6 cm.A beautiful chiselled silver structure partially envelops this decanter for pouring wine. It is a creation of the illustrious workshop of the jeweller Fabergé with floral decorations in relief, raised on a highly decorative rocaille base. It has a stylised handle with scrolls. Its centre has a pavilion with the inscription 'Raquel Meller', which indicates that it may have been a gift from an aficionado to the famous Spanish singer, cupletista and film actress.The Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé is considered one of the world's foremost goldsmiths, and is especially known for his Easter eggs commissioned by Tsar Alexander III and later by his son, Nicholas II. Born in St. Petersburg, Fabergé was trained in the family jewellery workshop, through the Grand Tour of Europe from 1864 onwards and possibly at the School of Arts and Crafts in Dresden. On his return from his trip he was mentored by Hiskias Pendin, the master goldsmith in his father's firm, with whom he catalogued and restored objects at the Hermitage during the 1870s. After Pendin's death in 1882 Fabergé took over the management of the workshop, soon achieving an enormous reputation through official exhibitions such as the Pan-Russian Exhibition in Moscow in 1882, where he won the gold medal and the St. Stanislaus medal. The Tsar's admiration for his work began just at this time, and Fabergé soon became the favourite jeweller of the Russian imperial court. Just three years later, in 1885, Alexander III appointed Fabergé as the official jeweller to the imperial household. In addition to making the famous Easter eggs between 1887 and 1917, Fabergé produced a wide range of items, from tableware to jewellery, and in 1900 he represented Russia at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, where he was unable to compete because he was on the jury. However, the firm was forced to close with the outbreak of the October Revolution, which was nationalised by the Bolsheviks. Fabergé's works are now housed in leading museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Royal Collection in London.
