LEMUEL ABBOTT Lemuel Abbott is most commonly recognised for creating the best-known and much reproduced image of Horatio Nelson, the original of which hangs in the Terracotta Room of Number 10 Downing Street. In fact, he painted the portraits of many leading 18th century figures, particularly male naval officers and literary figures.

potentially also under Joseph Wright of Derby. In 1780, Abbott married and settled in London and began exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy, showing fifteen portraits there between 1788 and 1800. His portraits were engraved by well-known engravers and he had an apprentice in Ben Marshall, who became an accomplished sporting painter.

Mainly self-taught, he studied for a short time as a pupil of Francis Hayman and

30 HD136/1 LEMUEL FRANCIS ABBOTT (BRITISH 1760-1803) HALF LENGTH PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM WYNDHAM LATER 1ST LORD GRENVILLE Feigned oval, oil on canvas 76cm x 63cm (30in x 25in)

£4,000-6,000 The half-length portrait of William Grenville is a classic example of Abbott’s portraiture, offering a serious depiction of a key 18th century political figure. Grenville was very gifted academically, graduating from Christ Church College, Oxford with a prize in Latin verse. Grenville trained as a lawyer but never practised as he entered parliament in 1782 as MP for Buckingham, representing this constituency until he became a Baron in 1790. Grenville held ministerial positions throughout his parliamentary career, and for a short time was Speaker of the House of Commons, before stints as Home and Foreign Secretary. Later in his career, Grenville became the head of the ‘Ministry of All the Talents,’ a coalition group which accomplished little of its stated aims but was instrumental in steering Abolition of the Slave Trade legislation through parliament.

that he was ultimately certified insane; it has been suggested this was the result of disappointment at his failure to secure an Associateship of the Royal Academy, his inability to stay on top of his work load and domestic disputes. He was treated by Dr. Thomas Monro, a medical specialist in mental health and artistic patron, whom Abbott had portrayed and exhibited at the R.A. in 1800.

31 HD136/2 LEMUEL FRANCIS ABBOTT (BRITISH 1760-1803) HALF LENGTH PORTRAIT OF LADY BOYDELL, LADY MAYORESS OF LONDON 1790 Oil on canvas 76cm x 63cm (30in x 25in) Note: Inscribed on old label verso ‘The portrait of Mrs Nicol niece to Mr Alderman Boydell when she was Lady Mayoress 1790-91, painted by Mr L.F. Abbott and since presented by him to her niece Miss Jane Boydell as a momento of her regard and parental affection.’

£4,000-6,000

It was relatively unusual for Abbott to portray women, indicating the high-profile social standing of this sitter, Lady Boydell, Lady Mayoress of London. Lady Boydell was the wife of John Boydell, a successful publisher in 18thcentury Britain. He was noted for his reproductions of engravings and his approach initiated a British tradition in

the art form. Boydell’s largest project was a venture concerning the promotion of Shakespeare in the 1790s: the establishment of a Shakespeare Gallery, the publication of an illustrated edition of his plays, and production of a folio of prints depicting scenes from key works. Throughout his life, Boydell also dedicated time to

civic projects and in 1790 became Lord Mayor of London, making his wife the Lady Mayoress of London.

32 HD196/2 PIETER VAN REYSCHOOT (BELGIAN 1702-1772) PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG MAN, c. 1730 Oil on canvas 71cm x 53.5cm (28in x 21in)

£7,000-10,000

This portrait is an exciting new addition to Reyschoot’s oeuvre. From the informal dress of cap and open shirt it probably shows a fellowartist. The composition presents him with the grace and liveliness of a bust by Louis-Francois Roubiliac, Reyschoot’s fellow-student at the Paris Academy, where in 1730 Reyschoot won Second Prize for Painting and Roubiliac won Second Prize for Sculpture. [1] That decade Reyschoot came to London, and Brian Allen specifically compares our painting with Reyschoot’s early ‘Portrait of boy in tartan, called Prince Henry Benedict Stuart’ signed and dated 1732 (Wolrige-Gordon Collection, Esslemont, Aberdeenshire) in terms of characterisation and handling. Reyschoot worked in this country until 1742 when he returned to his native Ghent. Our portrait demonstrates the way he fused French elegance with a taste of Francis Hayman to create a light and sophisticated rococo style. Reyschoot travelled round the country, painting portraits, hunting and fishing parties and Watteauesque conversation pieces which were popular with local gentry, as well as the London middle classes who were also Hayman’s patrons. [2] A set of signed portraits at Badminton shows that Reyschoot was also employed by the family of the Jacobite 4th Duke of Beaufort.

We are grateful to Brian Allen for proposing the attribution to Pieter van Reyschoot.

33 HD147/1 HENRI PIERRE DANLOUX (FRENCH 1753-1809) PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG MAN WITH WHITE CRAVAT AND YELLOW WAISTCOAT Oil on canvas 27cm x 22cm (10.5in x 8.5in)

£4,000-6,000

This charming small portrait, circa 1805, is thought to have been painted in France in the years following Danloux’s return from the UK. Danloux emigrated to the UK in the years 1792-1801 to escape the French revolution. The artist made some of his greatest “emigre” works in Scotland, notably a large family portrait for the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch and the breathtaking, large scale work in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery “Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan of Camperdown”. Danloux was attracted to patronage in Scotland largely due to his connections with the Comte d’Artois (later Charles X of France) who spent seven years in exile at Holyrood.

34 HD196/1 HUGH DOUGLAS HAMILTON (IRISH 1740-1808) PORTRAIT OF THOMAS EVERARD, c. 1788 Inscribed canvas verso ‘Thomas Everard of Randlestown’, oil on canvas 74cm x 64cm (29in x 25in) Note: The artist’s works can be seen at The National Gallery of Ireland, The British Museum, The Ulster Museum and The National Portrait Gallery, London.

£8,000-12,000

The Irish artist Hugh Douglas Hamilton only travelled to Italy after he had established a lucrative practice of supplying small-scale headand-shoulder oval pastel portraits for clients in London and Dublin. Sir William Blackett, who was in Italy at the same time as Hamilton, wrote that the artist took, ‘the best strongest likenesses I ever saw’. Hamilton’s repetitive work in London and Dublin must have been frustrating and his trip to Italy, delayed until he was in his early forties, energized his work and broaden his artistic horizons. He started to make full-length pastel portraits, his work was influenced by neoclassical sculptors such as Canova and John Flaxman both became friends - and he began to paint in oil. He also painted classical subjects and his portraiture became more ambitious. As might be expected Hamilton’s shift from pastel likenesses to oil portraits was tentative and amongst his first attempts are copies of his pastel ovals including the Young Pretender and the Duchess of Albany. Once he had found his confidence portraits were produced without first making a pastel

likeness and they show the same acute observation. The pose is simple, a head-andshoulders with the body almost in profile and the head and eyes turned towards the beholder. The portrait of Thomas Everard is one such painting. The sitter is shown with a beautifully delineated bag-wig, a crisp jabon appearing from a buffcoloured waistcoat worn beneath a mock military scarlet coat with black edging. The sitter was Thomas Everard of Randlestown in Co.

Meath, the son of John Everard (d. 1764) and his wife Margaret O’Reilly. Neither his date of birth or death are recorded, though he probably died about 1830. He is probably the ‘Monsu Everarde Inglese’ who is recorded as living at the Isola di Bernini in Rome in 1788 and it would have been about this time that Hamilton painted his portrait. Back in Ireland, Everard served as High Sheriff for Co. Meath in 1795 and raised and commanded the Kilberry Yeomanry during the

1798 uprising. The evening sky in the background of the portrait anticipates the subtlety that Hamilton was to achieve in some of the fulllength portraits he painted in the 1790s, such as the portrait of the Earl of Bristol with his granddaughter now in the National Gallery of Ireland.

57 HB817/12 WILLIAM LIONEL WYLLIE R.A. (BRITISH 1851-1931) REVIEW OF THE GRAND FLEET IN THE FIRTH OF FORTH AFTER THE ARMISTICE Signed and dated 1920, oil on canvas 46cm x 101.5cm (18in x 40in)

£10,000-15,000

Often referred to as the leading marine artist of the 19th century, William Lionel Wyllie was, and indeed remains, immensely popular with collectors. He was a great admirer of Whistler and Turner and sought to evoke a similar sense of atmosphere through sensitive observation of light and weather conditions. He was also extremely engaged with his subject matter at an academic level, having studied the history of ship building alongside his artistic training at the Royal Academy School, in order to better inform his paintings. The painting offered here is a large, exceptional example, combining to great effect the

elements that ensure his work has such great and enduring appeal. The Royal Standard is raised high, denoting an occasion of significance, and the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, visible in the background, places us in the Firth of Forth. The choppy green waves are meticulously described and we, the viewer, appear to look back from the stern of a ship observing a fleet of battleships following in our wake. On this evidence it can be confidently posited that this work depicts one of naval history’s most significant events: the review of the Grand Fleet in the Firth of Forth after the Armistice, 1918. The largest gathering of

warships at any point in history before or since, the Royal Navy ensured that defeat of the enemy was total by insisting on the complete capitulation and interment of the German Fleet. It likely shows the moment when the Grand Fleet (370 warships, including 33 battleships and 90,000 men, with the Sixth Battle Squadron, comprising USN battleships, and some French cruisers) processed to meet the German units (9 battleships, 5 battlecruisers, 7 light cruisers and 49 destroyers), escorting them to temporary anchorage 40 miles east of the Isle of May before their removal to Scapa Flow, Orkney.

£10,000-15,000

An atmospheric and evocative scene of Glasgow’s central hub, the Trongate, in the late 19th century, this panoramic view depicts the bustling street, looking west, towards the modern-day Buchanan Street. Two key Glasgow landmarks are prominent: the Tolbooth Steeple on the right hand side of the composition and the Tron Steeple further down the street. Close attention to the fashions worn by female figures and the named shop fronts, suggest that this scene can be dated to the 1870s. The name ‘Trongate,’ in reference to this area of Glasgow, first appeared

around 1560. The name developed in response to, and in recognition of, the ‘tron’ – the beam which officially weighed trade goods as they entered the city walls. ‘Gait’ or ‘gate’ is an old Scottish word meaning, ‘the way to,’ thus Trongate is literally the way to the ‘tron;’ the way to the financial and mercantile centre of Glasgow. The name has stuck throughout the centuries, even as the city has changed and developed. In its time, the building which the eyecatching Tron Steeple has stood over has housed both Catholic and Protestant churches, a place of

execution, a meeting hall, a police station and is now a theatre. Times, people and reputations change but this striking work demonstrates that city monuments are enduring keystones, creating a consistent backdrop against which the city hustle and bustle flourishes.

84 Lyon & Turnbull SIR TERRY FROST The two paintings offered here, Two Fish and St. Ives, date from a different time in Terry Frost’s life; a moment of painting in his beloved St. Ives, before he moved into the bright colours and abstraction that would characterise the majority of his oeuvre. Although interested and talented at drawing and painting from a young age, Terry Frost didn’t get a chance to seriously pursue art, until he had time on his hands during four years as a Prisoner of War at Stalag 383. On his return to Britain, all he wanted, much to the surprise and frustration of his family, was to become an artist. Friends from the war supported his ambition, assisting in the pursuit of an ex-serviceman’s grant and a place at Camberwell School of Art, as well as suggesting St. Ives as a place to live; beautiful, far from family and full of artists. It was this limbo period from 1945-47,

£1,500-2,500

between arriving with his wife Kath in St Ives and before commencing schooling at Camberwell, that Terry spent time working on his painting and produced these two works. They show a clear technical ability and energy preceding his later preoccupation with bright colours and energetic abstraction. Both works were gifted to the current vendor’s mother, a close friend of Kath Frost, during a friendship that lasted for both of their lives. They have remained in the family ever since, have never been exhibited and only recently returned to the U.K. after a period abroad. Personal photographs from the family, reproduced here, show the current vendor’s mother serving as bridesmaid at Terry and Kath’s wedding and include a photo she took of Terry and Kath together in Cornwall, on a joint holiday in the late 1980s.

144§ HC938/80 WILLIAM WAUER (GERMAN 1866-1962) STANDING FIGURE Bronze, signed with intitials and dated ‘28, stamped with the foundry mark ‘Noak Berlin’, also with intitials H.C. 46cm (18in) high

£8,000-12,000

A fascinating and extremely versatile artist, William Wauer was a member of the German avant-garde in the early 1900s. Enjoying a significant and varied career, there were few areas of the arts that Wauer had not turned his talents to before he was ultimately branded “degenerate” by the Nazis and banned from practising art in 1933. Born and educated in Dresden, Wauer launched himself into his artistic training with vigour, enrolling at the Dresden Academy before transferring to Berlin and Munich. A passion for travel developed and he spent the last years of the 1880s traversing the globe; living for periods in San Francisco, New York, Vienna, Rome and Leipzig. His creative undertakings during this period were as multitudinous as his addresses and he worked variously as a publisher, editor, advertiser, illustrator and art critic.

Theatre, film and, of course, sculpture were Wauer’s main focus from the 1900s onwards and remain his predominant legacy. It was in the capacity of theatre director that he first became associated with the art group Der Sturm (The Storm). The movement took its name from the magazine founded by Herwath Walden, the purpose of which was to champion and affiliate radical Modern artists from across Europe. Fellow members included Schlemmer, Chagall, Kandinsky and Klee; artists encompassing diverse experimental movements including Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism and Futurism. Wauer’s sculpture is a stylistic product of his immersion in this highly creative melting pot. Characterised by forms at once fluid and angular, his work evokes a sense of movement and rhythm which is arguably more expressive than the work of his Futurist counterparts to whom he can logically be compared. In the work offered here for sale, Wauer subverts a traditional contrapposto standing nude figure, maintaining an organic sensuality despite the Modernist allusions to mechanisation of the human form.

a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist's Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 8.

We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express.

It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10.

DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot.

(2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

14. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) Lyon & Turnbull undertakes to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 15. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale. 16. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing.

(2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed.
