7 ATTRIBUTED TO FRANCISZEK SMIADECKI (ANGLO/POLISH fl.c.1660-1670) Portrait miniature of a Gentleman, wearing a white lace falling collar with tassels, c.1670 Oil on copper Later gilded metal frame with spiral cresting Oval, 57mm high Provenance: European Private Collection Very little is known about Smiadecki, who was born in either Poland or Russia. He is thought to have been tutored by Alexander Cooper in Sweden and worked primarily in oils on copper or vellum. The work of Smiadecki has only really gained the deserved recognition in the last fifty years, and like many other portrait miniaturists working in oils, Smiadecki did not always sign his work, making the possibility for study limited. The present work would appear to accord with his technique, particularly in the characterful observation of the sitter’s features and the carefully delineated lace jabot.
6 AFTER SIR ANTHONY VAN DYCK Portrait miniature of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford Watercolour on card Gilt metal frame with pierced spiral cresting Oval, 67mm high
Smiadecki appears to have been one of many artists, most of whom were Dutch in origin, providing small scale oil paintings as an alternative portable form of portrait to the traditional watercolour miniature or limning. These varied in quality with some, such as the example here, were painted with exceptional skill.

of Cosway’s work is the sky background, which was exemplified by Cosway and later adopted by competitors such as Andrew Plimer (1763-1837), who, along with brother Nathaniel, Cosway taught to paint. The present work dates to c.1785 and was painted at a time when Cosway very much dominated the market for portrait miniatures. He developed a technique, seen clearly here, which contrasted delicate stipple work in the face with more fluent, expressive brushwork in the body and background. Other techniques include ‘floating’ his watercolour pigments on the pale ivory surface he allowed the luminous transparency of the material to suggest the natural glow of light. Here he has left much of the ivory behind the sitter’s head bare. £1,000-£1,500 27 λ GEORGE ENGLEHEART (BRITISH 1752-1829) Portrait miniature of a Lady in profile facing left, wearing white dress with long strand of black pearls across her décolletage, her powdered hair adorned with a black headdress decorated with black and white feathers and white ribbons Watercolour on ivory Gold frame Oval, 50mm high £500-£700
Born in Devon, the son of a headmaster was attracted to art from an early age and by the age of twelve was working in London under Thomas Hudson and learning at Shipley’s drawing school. Cosway first exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1760 and entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1769, exhibiting there 1770-1806. Cosway was made Miniature Painter to the Prince of Wales in around 1786, a position he maintained until the Prince became Regent in 1811. Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Cosway’s work is the captivating level of luminosity he manages to create. Throughout his career Cosway mastered the use of transparent pigments, which when applied diligently onto ivory exploited the natural glow of the support, as seen in the present work. Another distinguishable feature

43 CHARLES HAYTER (BRITISH 1761-1835) Portrait miniature of a Lady, in profile, wearing white muslin dress with frilled neckline, landscape background, c.1805 Pastel, watercolour and graphite on vellum Later gilt-metal frame with velvet backing Oval, 118mm high Provenance: European Private Collection Charles Hayter was born in Twickenham in 1761. At the age of twenty-four he entered the Royal Academy schools and went on to forge a career as a portraitist and tutor (he taught ‘perspective’ to Princess Charlotte). In 1813 he published an ‘Introduction to Perspective’, where he noted the influence of the pastellist Russell on his work (‘chiefly very small portraits…generally on vellum’). As seen in the present portrait, he liked his vellum to have a ‘soft, velvet-like nap’. He seems to have lived rather frugally in a rather tawdry part of Soho (in his ‘Dictionary of Pastellists before 1800’, Neil Jeffares notes that his street included the prostitute, Mrs. Hindes’s, residence). He seems to have had an agreeable personality, recorded in the diary of Crabb Robinson as ‘self- educated…[who] blends humour with all he says’. His marriage to Martha Stevenson in 1788 produced three children, all of whom became artists (including Sir Charles Hayter b.1792). The present portrait shows Hayter adapting his style to encompass the new craze for the Neoclassical fashions. The profile portrait and sitter’s muslin dress would have been extremely fashionable in the early 1800s. By this date many miniaturists were also offering their clientele larger portraits, either in graphite or crayons, which were hung on the wall and moved away from the miniature as an item of jewellery.

BRITISH DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS From the collection of CHRISTOPHER FRY Playwright, Educator, Poet, Actor 1907-2005 (Lots 101-117 & 148)
Christopher Fry (18 December 1907 – 30 June 2005) was one of the most celebrated English poets and playwrights of the 20th century and the leading figure, together with T.S. Eliot, in the revival of poetic drama. In 1948 he emerged with his lively verse play, “The Lady’s Not for Burning” and was able to consolidate his position in the 1950’s and 1960’s with a series of plays in free verse, including Venus Observed, Ring Around the Moon and The Boy With the Cart. He worked with all the biggest names of the British stage, from John Gielgud to Laurence Olivier and occasionally lent his talents to Hollywood, helping with the script of Ben Hur and other movies. In the 1970’s and 1980’s he worked on several translations and wrote TV series and a short play about the early religious poet Caedmon for performance in Chelmsford Cathedral. He was a passionate collector of fine art and amassed a large collection with a focus on British 18th, 19th & 20th century artists.

106 FREDERIC, LORD LEIGHTON P.R.A. (18301896) A sheet of figure studies for “ The Visible Madonna” & “Dangerous Colleagues” from Leighton’s illustrations for George Eliot’s “ Romola” Black and white chalk on blue paper 20 x 28cm (8 x 11in) sheet size partially obscured by the hinged mount Provenance: Christopher Fry and thence by descent The present drawing is part of a series of 25 drawings and fourteen decorated initials Leighton executed for George Eliot’s Romola: a historical novel set in Florence in the fifteenth century. It was first published between 1862-3 in a series of fourteen parts in the Cornhill Magazine. Leighton had lived in Florence and was therefore the perfect choice for Eliot to illustrate his novel. Initially Eliot disapproved of Leighton’s designs and relations between the two were strained. However they were eventually reconciled, and Leighton’s drawings were acknowledged to have contributed to the edition’s commercial success and the surge in popularity of illustration.

JOHN CONSTABLE R.A. (BRITISH 1776-1837) Four drawings (lots 114-117)
This fascinating group of drawings by, or attributed to, John Constable are an exciting new discovery and are published here for the first time. Two of them (nos 114 and 115) are small compositional drawings in pen, ink and wash which can be dated to Constable’s late period and may represent his early thoughts for an illustration to a scene from Shakespeare’s As You Like It, of Jaques and the Wounded Stag. The other two drawings from the group, in pencil (one with added watercolour wash), nos 116 and 117, are less certainly attributable to Constable. These four drawings can be traced back to the collection of Leonard Gordon Duke CBE (1890-1971). Duke was a civil servant who worked at the Board of Education and who assembled a large and impressive collection of British drawings. An annotated manuscript catalogue of Duke’s collection is held in the Prints and Drawings Department of the British Museum. All of the drawings, which carry the numbers D2299, D2298, D2181 and D2180, are listed in that catalogue. Further provenance is given there only for the latter two which were bought in 1950 from a Mr Ewer. In the catalogue the drawings are indicated as having been sold in October 1951, ‘through Chamberlain’. Even though the two pen and ink compositional drawings (lots 114 and 115) were described by Duke in the catalogue as ‘certainly by Constable’, they were sold to a Mr Chamberlain in 1951 for as little as £3 each, compared with a sum of £11 and 10 shillings for each of the other two drawings which now carry a less certain attribution (lots 116 and 117). At some stage after that date all four drawings were acquired (presumably as a group) by Christopher Fry. Leonard Duke’s collection was comparable in size and range to those formed in the 1950’s by Paul Oppé, Iolo Williams, Bruce Ingram and Gilbert Davies. Duke sold and gave away drawings during his lifetime, and his remaining collection was sold in 1351 lots in seven sales at Sotheby’s in 1970-71, shortly before his death.
Lots 114 and 115 From around 1830, Constable began to favour the use of brown pen, ink and wash on paper for trying out his compositional ideas. He was familiar with the drawings made in this vein by seventeenth-century French artist Claude Lorrain. He also knew of the imaginary ‘blot’ drawings made in brown washes by the eighteenth-century British artist and drawing master Alexander Cozens - indeed, in 1823 Constable had even made copies after some of Cozens’s published landscape designs. However by 1830 Constable was also deeply involved in supervising the production of a series of mezzotint engravings after his own compositions, known as English Landscape, the chief purpose of which was to demonstrate what he called the ‘chairo’scuro of nature’. It is perhaps not surprising, then, that in his late career he should turn to the use of monochrome media in his drawings similarly to experiment with the expressive potential of light and shade. The following two lots (114 and 115) have been examined by paper historian Peter Bower who has confirmed that both of them are made from the same paper, probably a Whatman writing paper. Their small size and drawn ‘frame’ borders would tend to suggest that they might well have been cut from a letter. Certainly Bower has identified other similar small brown ink drawings by Constable of around the same date, some on Whatman paper, which have close associations with written texts - whether transcripts by the artist of poetry, manuscript letters or other draft jottings by him such as variant titles for the series of engravings known as English Landscape. The subject of these two related drawings cannot be identified with any certainty. However they bear strong similarities with the designs Constable was working on between about 1832 and 1835 to illustrate the episode from As you Like It of the melancholy Jaques in the Forest of Arden gazing across a swiftly flowing brook towards a wounded stag. The play (and this episode from it) was a particular favourite with Constable and with his friend and patron Sir George Beaumont.
36
Constable’s surviving designs made as illustrations to this Shakespearean scene, which are variously in pencil, watercolour or pen and brown ink, relate to two different projects separated by about three years. He made a finished watercolour of the subject in a horizontal format which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1832 and for which three related (and similarly horizontal ) designs survive (see G.Reynolds, The Later Paintings and Drawings of John Constable, 1984, nos. 32.10-12 and Christie, Old Master and British Drawings, 9 December 2015, lot 216). This version of the subject was subsequently engraved (posthumously) for English Landscape. In addition, there are nine surviving upright designs by Constable, nearly all of them executed in pen and brown ink, which relate to a commission the artist received from the publisher John Martin in 1835 to produce an illustrated vignette of the same episode from As you Like It for a volume entitled The Seven Ages of Shakespeare (see Reynolds, ibid, nos 35.32-35, 35.37-38 and G.Reynolds, The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable, 1996, appendix with additions to the Later Paintings, 35.38 A-C). If the two designs catalogued here do relate to the Jaques subject, it is difficult to say whether they are more likely to be connected – in their rectangular format - to the earlier, horizontal iteration of the subject made in 1832. Or else, perhaps, whether they are early experimental designs in a horizontal format (for an image subsequently rethought in vertical form) made a few years later for John Martin’s Seven Ages; and perhaps originally drawn in a letter from Constable to Martin which was subsequently cut up. Certainly we know from C. R. Leslie that Constable apparently made ‘nearly twenty sketches’ in connection with this latter project. We are grateful to Anne Lyles and Peter Bower for their assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.

116 ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN CONSTABLE R.A. (BRITISH 1776-1837) Study of an entrance gate to a park Pencil on wove writing paper 17.1 x 10.9cm (6 3/4 x 4 1/4in) Provenance: Mr. Ewer, 1950; Leonard G. Duke (D 2181, ‘Trees & Gateway’); sold, through Chamberlain, Oct 1951, for £11-10/-0’; Christopher Fry and thence by descent Although this is an accomplished drawing which shares some features in common with Constable’s early drawing style, it cannot be attributed with any degree of certainty to his hand. As Peter Bower points out, the combination of the irregularly cut left hand edge and the slightly rounded corners at top and bottom right indicate that the paper on which this drawing was made has been removed from a sketchbook. Bower notes that it’s page size and partial watermark (identifying the paper as one made by James Tayler at Poll Mill, Boxley, near Maidstone) do not correspond with any of John Constable’s surviving sketchbooks. On the other hand, Bower points out that this is not unusual. Furthermore, Constable did use sketchbooks of a similar page size in around 1806 when he was visiting a number of country houses in connection with portrait commissions. Bower meanwhile observes that the gateposts shown in the drawing might be identifiable as those marking the entrance to Malvern Hall which Constable first visited in 1809.

His maternal grandfather – Frederic-Guillaume Schneklud (1859-1930) – was a cellist, and the subject of Portrait of Upaupa Schneklud with Cello painted by Paul Gauguin in 1894 (now in the collection of the Baltimore Museum of Art). His mother was a concert pianist and one of the circle of musicians surrounding the celebrated Berlin pianist Artur Schnabel (1882-1951) and his wife, the contralto Therese Behr (1876-1959). Harold’s elder brother Rolf (1902-91) became a highly regarded portrait and fashion photographer, working for such titles as Harpers Bazaar. Those who sat for Rolf featured German and Austrian nobility, and after he moved to England in 1939 he photographed much of London’s gliterati such as actors Peter Ustinov and Margaret Rutherford. It was Gauguin’s painting of Schneklud, consigned to the attic by Harold’s parents (who considered the work too ‘modern’) that Harold Mahrenholz credited as the inspiration for becoming an artist. He studied early on in the Berlin studio of the Expressionist painter Ludwig Meidner, and subsequently worked for the stage and film director Max Reinhardt. He moved to Paris in 1920, where he was befriended by the Fauve artist turned society portraitist Kees Van Dongen. Through Van Dongen he met Albert Marquet. Van Dongen and Marquet both encouraged Mahrenholz, lending him their studios on occasion and buying his work. Mahrenholz also became a longstanding friend of Matisse, and a close acquaintance of Picasso. In 1929 Mahrenholz met the young Christian Dior, then co-director of the newly opened Galerie Jacques Bonjean at 34 rue la Boétie. Picasso lived on the same street at no. 23; Picasso’s dealer Paul Rosenberg had his premises at no. 21. A great admirer of Mahrenholz’s work, Dior exhibited his paintings alongside others that he championed, from Leonor Fini, Salvador Dali and Joan Miró to neo-Romantics, Eugène and Léonide Berman and Pavel Tchelitchew. In the process he introduced him to the Parisian beau-monde and intelligentsia whom he sold to – from Gertrude Stein to Coco Chanel. It was through Chanel and Dior that Harold developed his keen interest in haute couture, working with them at their ateliers. Mahrenholz moved to London in 1936, setting up his haute couture Mayfair Salon at 39a Curzon Street. There he came to rival Norman Hartnoll and Hardy Amies as the couturier of the day. Among his clients were Princess Margaret, prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn, Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton, Margaret, Duchess of Argyll and Vivien Leigh. A dress design for Leigh – a rare remaining example of Marenholz’s work – is in the collection of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter. Mahrenholz also collaborated with the designer Elizabeth Arden, and through her and Coco Chanel was introduced to Daniel Wildenstein who offered him a one-man show of his paintings at his gallery on New Bond Street in 1947. Mahrenholz continued to paint for the rest of his life, exhibiting frequently at the Royal Academy, managing to balance his work as an artist with that of couturier.
