Note: The Parable of the Prodigal Son, one of the most important of the New Testament parables of Jesus, teaches the virtues of repentance and forgiveness and the dangers of vice and extravagance. The Prodigal Son is the third and final parable of a cycle on redemption, Luke 15: 11-32, following the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Lost Coin. The scene in the tapestry depicts the younger son standing before his father before his departure, while his older sibling works in the field in the middle distance. He gestures to a far-off city on hill, where intends to go, and where he inevitably squanders his inheritance with extravagant and wasteful living.

£1,000-1,500
Note: This miniature portrait is based on a 17th century threequarter length portrait of Digby, one version in the collection of Royal Armouries, the other at Sherborne Castle. In that portrait Digby is depicted wearing Franco-Flemish cuirassier armour with his right arm raised holding a baton of command and gesturing towards a battle scene in the background. His left hand rests on his helm and the sash and jewel of the Order of the Garter are clearly visible. At present the artist of the original portrait has not been identified, although there is some research to indicate the 17th century portraitist John Michael Wright as a likely candidate. George was the son of John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol. Firstly a member of the parliamentary opposition to Charles I, he later fought for the king in the English civil war. Afterward he served Louis XIV of France. In 1660, on his return to England after the Restoration, he was ineligible for office because of his conversion to Roman Catholicism. Having served Charles II in exile as Secretary of State, he exerted some influence at court until his attempt to impeach the Earl of Clarendon for treason failed in 1663.

are of exceptional quality and workmanship. Utilising a design vocabulary based on Greek and Roman antiquity, they eschew the extravagant excesses of the Rococo. Gone are the curvilinear outlines and scrolling embellishments, replaced with ordered repetition and symmetry. The tables bear design similarities to the famed library table by Thomas Chippendale, made for Harewood House, and commissioned by Edwin Lascelles, 1st Baron Harewood, and now in the collection at Temple Newsam. What is most directly related is the marquetry design of the frieze, with its repeat pattern of linked paterae, interspersed with further elliptical carved paterae. In the Parke-Bernet Rovensky sale catalogue of 1957, the tables are listed as ‘parcel-gilded’, however there is no mention of gilding when they re-emerge for sale at Sotheby’s, London, thirty years later. An examination of the black and white image from the 1957 catalogue shows
The New York socialite and heiress Mrs. Mae Manwaring Plant Hayward Rovensky [née Caldwell] was married four times, and was one of the richest women in the United States, with homes in New York City; Newport, Rhode Island; Palm Beach, Florida; Hartford, Connecticut; and Groton, New York. A woman of considerable charm, wit, and beauty, she famously persuaded her second husband Morton F. Plant, to negotiate the sale of their lavish Italian Renaissance Revival mansion on East 52nd Street and Fifth Avenue with Pierre Cartier for a rare double strand of one hundred and twentyeight natural pearls. Maisie, as she was called, and Morton moved to their new, larger Italian Renaissance Revival mansion on East 89th Street and Fifth Avenue, and Cartier turned the 52nd Street mansion into the landmark Cartier New York headquarters and showroom, where it continues to this day.

£1,200-1,800
Note: This panel is believed to have been painted in the early 17th century for Dean House, Edinburgh. The House was demolished in 1845 to make way for Dean Cemetery. The National Museum of Scotland hold seven panels from Dean House in the C. K. Sharpe Collection, each depicting various Biblical scenes. One further panel is still on display at John Knox House. Stylistic affinities between the panel paintings, particularly apparent in the handling of the figures’ heads and bodies, would suggest that they were produced by the same hand(s). This panel is thought to have been bought at auction in Edinburgh in the latter part of the 20th century. How it was separated from the others now in the NMS is unknown.

189 ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS POOLEY (IRISH 1646-1723) HALF LENGTH PORTRAIT OF JONATHAN SWIFT AS A STUDENT IN DUBLIN COLLEGE With later inscription, feigned oval, oil on canvas 71cm x 58cm (28in x 22.75in) Provenance (supporting documents sold with the lot): 1) Thomas Percy (1729-1811), Bishop of Dromore; acquired by him in 1801 from Anthony Trail or Traill (1755-1831) of Mount Druid, Ballycastle, later Archdeacon of Connor, who in two letters to Percy (27 April and 5 May 1801) describes his own acquisition of the work c.1790 from ‘Gonne, a carver and gilder in Abbey Street’, evidently the Henry Gonne (fl.1765-99) who is recorded as a carver and looking-glass seller at 26 Abbey Street, Dublin (Glin & Peill, Irish Furniture, 2007, p. 293): ‘An old family mansion house in the Co of Louth was about to be pull’d down, previous to the erection of a new one, and all the pictures in it were sent up to Dublin to be sold, as the proprietor did not chuse to be at the expence of new frames for them, and thought they would be unsuitable ornaments for a new house in their old black ones. Not chusing to sell them separately, I was oblig’d to purchase the whole in order to get three or four of them that I lik’d. The account given me of the Dean’s picture was as follows – He had been while at college an intimate companion of the young gentlemen of the above family, and frequently spent his vacations with them in the country. During one of these visits a painter was employed to paint some portraits in the family, and the Dean’s was painted along the rest, and had remain’d in the house ever since. As no particular value was set upon the picture, and as I had express’d no particular desire of purchasing it, it is improbable that such a story should have been told me, if it had not been true. I am sorry however that I have forgot the name of the family, but it has escap’d my memory.’ Thence by descent to: 2) Mr Edward Richard Meade (1805-1890) of 5 Gloucester Place, Portman Square, London, the picture with him by 1867, when exhibited at South Kensington (see below). Meade was the grandson of Thomas Percy by the marriage of Percy’s daughter Elizabeth to Pierce Meade
(1776-?), Archdeacon of Dromore (John Sharpe, Peerage of the British Empire, [1833], volume I, f. 2A6 v.). 3) Miss Constance Meade (1852-1941), of 15 Eaton Terrace, Knightsbridge, London, daughter of Edward Richard Meade. 4) Mr Kenneth George Francis Balfour (19091998), of Quoitings, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, nephew of Constance Meade. 5) Mrs Virginia Cardwell Moore, of Coupar Angus, Perthshire.

Note: The earliest supposed likeness of one of the greatest writers in English, and the embodiment of the elusiveness or otherwise of the historical Swift, this remarkable portrait comes to market by direct descent from Thomas Percy, Bishop of Dromore, who acquired it in 1801 as ‘a small portrait of Dean Swift’, and is now offered for sale for the first time in 200 years, with documented provenance to the late 18th century. First exhibited at South Kensington in 1867, for the next century it drifted in and out of public view. In 1898 Leslie Stephen, writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, declared that ‘the present whereabouts of this portrait is unknown’. It reappeared c.1967 in the collection of a descendant of Percy’s and came to the attention of Swift scholars, at which point there first emerged an attribution to Thomas Pooley which is now current: ‘A portrait thought to be of the young Jonathan Swift, c.1682, is clear and direct in Pooley’s early manner. The attribution is

probable because the Pooley family married into the Swift family’ (Dictionary of Irish Biography). The attribution to Pooley, and the longstanding identification of Swift as the subject, were on the occasion of the portrait’s exhibition at the National Library of Ireland in 1999 advanced by Bruce Arnold in support of the theory that Swift was in fact the illegitimate son of his benefactor Sir John Temple (1600-1677), master of the rolls in Ireland, and hence a more likely candidate for such a sumptuous likeness. Originally developed by Denis Johnston (In Search of Swift, 1959), this theory has been used to explain otherwise intractable ambiguities in Swift’s relationships with the two most important women in his life, firstly ‘Stella’ (Esther Johnson), who on this view is supposed to have been the daughter of William Temple and therefore Swift’s niece, and ‘Vanessa’ (Hester Vanhomrigh). Writing in 1993, David Woolley (q.v.), editor of The Correspondence of Jonathan Swift (5 vols, 1999-2014), presented several arguments against Swift’s being the subject of the portrait, chiefly that ‘The dress style is of c.1710. By this time, however, Swift was into his forties’, and that ‘The portrait style is of the school of Kneller. When Swift graduated, in the reign of James II, the dominant portrait style was still of the school of Sir Peter Lely’. In 2000, art historian Jane Fenlon noted that Woolley had only seen the painting in reproduction, that his analysis contained no reference to the attribution to Thomas Pooley, who had various connections to Swift, and that the sitter’s costume is similar to known examples of academic dress from the late 17th century: ‘The portrait in question has a long-standing attribution to the painter Thomas Pooley. The attribution is sound in that the style and manner of painting compare well with other portraits by the artist. The age of the sitter, between fifteen and nineteen years, is appropriate for the years 1682-86, the time spent by Jonathan Swift at Trinity College, Dublin. The costume worn by the sitter would also seem to be appropriate to the period in question. Social and familial links have been established between the painter and the sitter. In art-historical terms, after such close examination of the evidence, a portrait with a long-standing provenance and attribution such as this one has a sound basis for acceptance’. In a brief response to Fenlon’s article (published in the same volume of Swift Studies) Woolley reiterated a few of his original arguments while conceding the strength of ‘the Pooley connection’. ‘His life and works continue to vex as well as instruct and amuse his readers … Rumours and legends about Swift’s parentage, alleged marriage, misanthropy, and madness started early and developed freely, not least during the Victorian period … His work has provoked strong responses from each generation of readers, and he is one of those writers whose effect on our minds and imagination will not go away. In the words of a fellow Irishman, who also believed that Swift was the founding figure in Irish political nationalism, “Swift haunts me; he is always just around the next corner” (W. B. Yeats)’ (Clive Probyn in ODNB)

Note: The militia regiment of Queen’s County (now Co. Laois), the Royal Queen’s County Militia, was originally raised in 1793 as the 25th Militia Battalion, one of only six Irish militia regiments allowed to bear the title ‘’Royal’’. Re-designated the 104th Battalion following the militia reforms of 1833, it became the 4th Battalion Leinster Regiment (Queen’s County Militia) following the army reforms of 1881. When initially raised, the Queen’s County Militia was apparently a fine unit. A commentator of the time (December 1793), who had been expecting to see an ‘’undisciplined rabble’’, in fact found the Queen’s County Militia to be by ‘’no means inferior (in appearance) to that of any veteran regulars I ever met with, in point of personal consequence and acquired uniformity’’. They took to the life of soldiering, and in 1796 they and the Dublin City Militia became the first two militia regiments to volunteer to serve outside Ireland. Major Jonathan Cope Chetwode (b. 31 May 1757, d. 11 May 1839), was the son of Valentine Knightley Chetwode and Henrietta Maria Cope. His estate was Woodbrook, near Portarlington, and Burke’s Landed Gentry of Ireland (1958) and Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837) acknowledge him as a Major in the Militia. Edith Mary Johnston-Liik (History of the Irish Parliament, (6 vols., Belfast, 2002) iii, 409) has him in his youth as a (?) Cornet in the Arlington Light Cavalry. Strickland (viz., Walter G. Strickland, ‘The Chetwoods of Woodbrook in the Queen’s County. With a portrait and book plate of Knightley Chetwood, d. 1752 and a portrait of Hester Brooking his wife’, in Journal of the County Kildare Archaeological Society, Vol. IX, pp. 205-26, 273-6, 381-6, 410-15, 1918-22; Vol. X, pp. 32-6, 100-6, 150-3, 195-6, 19228) mentions service as Ensign in the 102nd and 14th Regiments. In 1781 he was High Sheriff of Queen’s County, and from 1790 to 1797 M.P. for Downpatrick. He was twice married, but had no issue.

313 Note: John Ede started making his ‘Patent American Eye Liquid’ in 1872, claiming it was after a recipe passed down from his father. With promises to cure ‘every disease of the eye’, Ede seemed more skilled in promotion than health. Previously, he had a wholesale business purchasing and reselling job lots of clothing and accessories of all kinds. Ede must have been convinced he had a great business on hand, as he got rid of his wholesale stock and started referring to his Birmingham premises as Eye Liquid Depot. Where exactly the American connection comes from is not clear. Although Ede declared his Eye Liquid’s worldwide fame and demand, nearly all the ads are in Birmingham papers. Despite boastful claims (‘The Greatest Wonder of the Age’) and a fortune spent on advertisements, the product did not catch on. The last advertisements around 1880 recommend the Eye Liquid for horses and puppies in an attempt to gain traction in a different market – obviously unsuccessful as he went out of business shortly after.

Meyer, Great Exhibitions 1851-1900, London, 2006, p.167.
£2,500-3,500
Note: Charles Andrea Nosotti is listed as a carver, gilder, upholsterer and cabinetmaker at 2 Dean Street, Soho, from 1835-1840, although he appears to have set up a ‘looking glass manufactory’ in 1831. Almost certainly born in Milan, his high standard of workmanship led him to exhibit a giltwood cabinet at the 1862 London Exhibition that he had made for the Countess of Waldegrave’s drawing room at Strawberry Hill. The cabinet is illustrated in J. Meyer, Great Exhibitions 1851-1900, London, 2006, p.167. Further commissions came from the millionaire industrialist John Allcroft at Stokesay Court, Shropshire. Nosotti advertised furniture in the Art Journal Catalogue of the International Exhibition, 1867, noting that his firm enjoyed the patronage of the Princess of Wales. He later collaborated with the leading Victorian makers Howard and Sons and this piece certainly has the hallmarks of this collaboration. A comparable piece was sold at Sotheby’s lot 136 28 August 1994.

Specifically, this piece takes its inspiration from the Doryphoros, one of the best-known Greek sculptures of Classical antiquity, depicting a solidly built standing warrior, bearing a spear balanced on his left shoulder. The lost bronze original was cast in c. 440 B.C., but it is today known only from later (mostly Roman) marble copies such as the present example.

£600-800
Note: Mirror frames like the present lot are traditionally attributed to ivory carvers in the port of Dieppe in Northern France. As a result of several centuries of trade with West Africa it became a centre of ivory carving, a tradition that was revived in the 19th century thanks to the efforts of the Duchesse de Berry among others. The ivory carvers specialised in jewellery, ship models, and finely carved small objects such as parasol handles. They also created figures and statues of famous historical or religious figures, often opening to reveal a carved scene from the person’s life in triptych form. It is possible that the Dieppe carvers were also producing mirror frames such as the present example, but they are stylistically closer to the neo-renaissance carved ivory tankards and oliphants produced in the 1870s and 80s in southern Germany.

There are two figures in the Poniatowski family to whom the plaque may have belonged. The first being Prince Josef Anton Poniatowski (1763-1813). He was the nephew of the last king of independent Poland, Stanislas Auguste Poniatowski. He was a famous general who fought in the polish army against the Russians in 1792 and took part in the anti-Russian revolt of 1794, led by Kosciuszko. In 1807 Napoleon appointed him commander-in-chief of the Duchy of Warsaw and he was made a marshal of France during the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. During that battle he was wounded. The bridge across the Elster river had been blown up and he drowned while attempting to lead his troops across, giving his life for his homeland and becoming a national hero. Prince Josef had a cousin, Stanislaw Poniatowski (1754-1833), a wealthy nobleman, politician and diplomat. He had a passion for the arts and for collecting and among other things had a large collection of carved intaglios. He emigrated to Italy, living there for over thirty years. He owned property in Rome and Florence, including the Palazzo Capponi in via Larga, Florence, where he housed his art collection. Works of art from his collection, and apparently from his cousin Prince Josef, were sold by Christie’s in 1839, primarily including the intaglio gems, but also works of art and maiolica, then known as ‘Raffaelle Ware’. While the Urbino plaque in the current lot is not believed to have been listed in the contents of the sale it shows that maiolica did feature in the collection of either Prince Josef and/or Stanislaw and suggests that the Urbino plaque in this lot may have originally belonged to Prince Josef Poniatowski. The second possible owner of the plaque is a figure who was also, in later life, known as Prince Joseph (Michal) Poniatowski (1816-1873). He was the son of Stanislaw Poniatowski and the nephew of the Polish general discussed above, Prince Josef Anton Poniatowski. He was born out of wedlock but he was legitimated as a son of Stanisław Poniatowski in 1847 and he was awarded the title Prince Poniatowski by the Austrian Emperor in 1850. A singer, opera composer and politician, he spent all his life abroad, firstly in Italy, then in France. After the fall of the Second Empire Poniatowski accompanied Napoleon III into exile in London in 1871. He died in Kent in 1873. It is possible that he inherited the Urbino plaque in this lot from his father’s art collection. The history of the Earls of Breadalbane and Holland stretches far back into the late 17th century in Scotland, and the family can trace their origins to the early 13th century. During the 19th century the power and wealth of the family was at its peak, as was their influence on Scottish society. The family seat, Taymouth Castle, was built between 1806 and 1842 by John Campbell, 4th Earl and 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, to a dramatic Neo-Gothic design, on the banks of the river Tay. In September 1842 the 2nd Marquess, John Campbell, played host to a splendid fourday visit from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and it is believed that the Queen’s visit to Taymouth confirmed her love of Scotland and the Highlands, where she went on to purchase Balmoral in 1852. The plaque was most likely acquired by a member of the Breadalbane family at some point during the 19th century, when the elaborately carved frame, bearing the Breadalbane family crest, would have been specially commissioned to display the plaque. It is not currently known precisely where or when the plaque was acquired, but this could be revealed with further research. However, there is a firm connection between the Breadalbane family and Poniatowski works of art. John

Campbell, the 2nd Marquess of Breadalbane (1796-1862) was a man of extreme wealth who spent vast fortunes on his homes, their contents and works of art. Sometime around 1850-1860 he commissioned the ‘Breadalbane Vase-Candelabrum’, a massive six-foot-tall silver, silver gilt and damascened piece, made by Antoine Vechte for Hunt & Roskell. It was inset with forty-six hardstone intaglio gems from the Poniatowski collection. The vase was displayed to great acclaim at the International Exhibition in London in 1862. It is not currently known if the 2nd Marquess acquired the Poniatowski gems himself or if they were provided for the vase by Hunt & Roskell. However, if John Campbell, the 2nd Marquess, purchased the gems himself, either when they were offered for sale at Christie’s in 1839 or at a subsequent date this connection with works of art from the Poniatowski collectiont suggests that it may have been him who acquired the Urbino maiolica plaque in this lot. The plaque was passed by family descent to the current vendor, through the ownership of The Hon. Caroline Mary Morgan Grenville (18861972), a granddaughter of the third Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, whose mother, Lady Mary, was the daughter of the 4th Earl and 1st Marquis of Breadalbane.

452 RARE FRAMED MAIOLICA RECTANGULAR PLAQUE OF LARGE SCALE, DATED 1541 PAINTED IN URBINO BY A FOLLOWER OF FRANCESCO XANTO AVELLI depicting The Road to Calvary, after Raphael; showing Christ, bearing the weight of the cross, fallen on his knees, the four Mary’s alongside, his mother suffering a swoon of agony, with guards all around, leading Christ to Calvary in the distance; dated ‘1541’ near the foreground of the plaque, on the stony path; within a later 19th century walnut frame carved with scrolling acanthus leaves, flowers and C-scrolls, surmounted by the crest of the Earls of Breadalbane, showing a boars head over a B; the reverse of the frame with carved inscription ‘From the Collection of Prince Joseph Pornatowski’; there are fragments of a label (probably spurious and 18th century) bearing an Italian inscription to the reverse, and a further paper label, partially obscured by the frame, inscribed ‘Appartement / un / Prince Joseph Poniatowski’ Plaque approximately 43cm high, 23cm wide; the frame 57cm high, 43cm wide Note: The scene is after Raphael’s ‘Christ Falls on the Way to Calvary’ (1515-1516), originally painted for the Church of S.Maria dello Spasimo in Palermo, and now in the Prado Museum, Madrid. The composition derives from a printed source, Agostino Veneziano’s engraving The Bearing of the Cross[1]. This was a printed source that had been used during the 1520s on similar plaques by the distinguished Urbino decorators Francesco Xanto Avelli[2] and Nicola da Urbino[3]. The plaque was previously attributed to the workshop of Baldessare Manara but more recent research suggests that it was most likely to have been painted in Urbino, rather than being a product of other pottery centres producing ‘istoriato’ maiolica at this date such as Faenza. It was painted by a decorator who knew Xanto’s work and who had possibly worked in Nicola da Urbino’s workshop in the mid to late 1530s. It is a fine, interesting, and well painted piece, the figures confidently and coherently placed within the space with distinctive facial features that closely follow the printed source and reflect the ‘istoriato’ styles of Urbino, found in Nicola Da Urbino and more especially Xanto’s work of the mid to late 1530s. However, by 1541 Nicola is dead and Xanto’s style diminished and after 1542 we lose trace of him. Furthermore, it is not the work of Xanto’s followers or collaborators from the mid-1530s onwards, such as Giulio da Urbino, “Lu. Ur.”, or Sforza di Marcantonio. A more convincing comparison can be made to a shallow bowl in the Widener collection (NGA Washington), with the image of the ‘Death of Laocoön and his Two Sons’, attributed to an as yet unidentified follower of Xanto.[4] [5] This has many of the stylistic features of the present plaque, and is dated 1539 only two years earlier. The fragmentary label to the reverse appears to read: Questo [...] o/ Appassionato/ [...] in [...] croce in spalla/ fu fatto come si vede, l’anno/ 1541. Le pi[...] in Terra C[otta]/ in [..]riaf[..] simili à qu[esto?]/ e [...] [?]allera [...]/ [...] Vasari nelle Vi [=Vite]/ [...] 263 sul/ [...] Robbia,/ quale [...]/ Francia [...] a/ Girolamo suo [...]

John Atkinson Grimshaw’s innovation was to apply Ruskin’s tenet of ‘truthto-nature’ to scenes of Britain’s burgeoning industrial centres. Owing to his sensitive portrayal of the atmosphere and ‘feeling’ of urban life, he has been considered the artistic equivalent of the great Victorian novelists Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell. Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to be offering two paintings by one of the most accomplished British artists of the nineteenth century.
Atkinson Grimshaw was born in Leeds in 1836. By 1860 he had left his position as a Northern Railway clerk to become a full-time painter, much to his parents’ dismay. His early artworks were generally landscapes and still lifes of fruit, flowers and birds rendered with a detailed intensity inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites. He also worked from photography, a relatively new medium, and is believed to have implemented camera obscura projections onto his canvases to refine his compositions. His career breakthrough came in 1867 when a painting of Whitby harbour at night was received to great acclaim. The urban nocturne dominated Atkinson Grimshaw’s output forthwith, as he pursued ever-more subtle and complex ways to illuminate his compositions. Contemporary urban audiences identified with his nighttime streetscapes lit by gas lamps, which effectively evoked the dynamism and isolation of the industrialised town. Atkinson Grimshaw travelled to various towns and harbours to study
their architecture and imbibe their atmosphere. The locales he most frequently painted (Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Whitby, Scarborough and London) reflect the distribution of his market. In the mid-nineteenth century innovative contemporary art was generally patronised by wealthy industrialists in the north of England and Scotland. Such was the case with the Pre-Raphaelites, whose aesthetic initially proved too challenging for traditional London tastes but flourished in northern industrial centres. Atkinson Grimshaw’s market developed along similar lines, and it was not until the 1870s that London collectors began to invest in his work in earnest. By 1870 he was successful enough to rent Knostrop Hall, a seventeenthcentury mansion represented in Evening in Knostrop. The Hall was built for Adam Baynes (1622-1671), the first Member of Parliament for Leeds, and its Jacobean architecture would prove an enduring inspiration which Atkinson Grimshaw would continue to paint for
the rest of his life. Evening in Knostrop depicts a solitary, fashionably-dressed figure waiting at the gate to the house. The shadowy landscape under the pale sky successfully evokes the ambience of Knostrop’s grounds in twilight. Between 1885 and 1887 Atkinson Grimshaw lived in Chelsea, London near the studio of the American artist James McNeill Whistler. The pair became good friends and bonded over their shared interest in painting city living, although Whistler implemented a more impressionistic technique. Whistler would later comment ‘I thought I had invented the nocturne, until I saw Grimmy’s moonlights’. This Greenock scene exemplifies Atkinson Grimshaw’s mastery of ephemeral light. Greenock is situated
on the River Clyde around 22 miles from Glasgow, and in the 18th and 19th centuries was a thriving and populous shipbuilding hub. Atkinson Grimshaw delineates the architecture with sharp precision, which serves as a visual counterpoint to the soft, delicate palette. While muted tones evoke the damp evening haze, points of tonal intensity draw the eye to the bustle of activity across the quayside, from the moored ships’ blinking lights, to the carriages conveying silhouetted figures, to the warm glow emanating from the row of smart shops. Greenock was painted a year before his untimely death from tuberculosis in 1893. Several of his children also became painters, including Louis Grimshaw, a son born in 1870. Louis trained under his father, and for a
spell the pair painted collaboratively, with John executing the sky and landscape and Louis working on the figures. Like his father, Louis generally painted nocturnes, but he diverged by predominantly representing London. Louis’ career as an artist was relatively brief, as he gave up painting in 1905 to work as a cartographer for the Manchester Guardian, and his paintings are consequently rare. Houses of Parliament was painted in 1899, and is a particularly fine example of Louis Grimshaw’s oeuvre. His father’s influence is clear in the muted palette, luscious atmosphere and accomplished handling of light. Despite electing to portray a quintessential London view, Grimshaw approaches the scene with remarkable insight and originality.

504 PROFESSOR GIUSEPPE LAZZERINI (ITALIAN 1831-1895) PAUL AND VIRGINIA white Carrara marble figure group, on a veined white marble column, signed ‘Prof. Giuseppe Lazzerini fece Carrara (2) Group 104cm high; column 100cm high Provenance: Sotheby’s 19th and 20th Century Sculpture, lot 141, London, 4 June, 1998 where purchased by the vendor’s family and thence by descent
£15,000-20,000
Guiseppe Lazzerini descended from a family of sculptors in Carrara and in 1848 entered the Carrara Accademia di Belle Arti under the direction of Ferdinando Pelliccia. While there he won the Rome scholarship which sent him to work in the studio of Pietro Tenerani, where he completed a statue of St. Sebastien followed by Hagar and Ishmael. Lazzerini returned to Carrara to work in, and eventually supervise, the family studio where he produced a wide range of his own works as well as works of other sculptors. His sculpture demonstrated the strong influence of Tenerani, which he in turned passed on to students of the Carrara Academy for which he was the director from 1889-1893. Lazzerini’s sculpture Paul and Virginia is based on the popular romance novel by Jacques-Henri Bernadin de Saint-Pierre, first published in 1788. Set in the years before the French Revolution, it tells the story of the idyllic childhoods of the title characters and the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the artificial sentimentality of the French upper classes in the late eighteenth century. Born and raised on the island of Mauritius, John and Virginia are childhood sweethearts who are separated when Virginia is sent to Paris at the behest of a wealthy aunt, with the promise of an inheritance and education. While there she is miserably treated and unhappy, and is pressured to marry a nobleman but refuses, vowing to return to Paul and her simpler, more authentic life. On her return journey the ship enters a hurricane within sight of the island and is wrecked just off the coast. Paul tries in vain to swim out and rescue her, but fails, and Virginia is drowned. Lazzerini chose as his subject the moment in the story when the two young lovers lose their way in a remote part of the island and are confronted by a river which Paul helps Virginia to cross.

Note: The Château de Vaulserre, originally the seat of the de Clermont family, was considered one of the finest château of the Dauphiné, and later was owned by the Corbeau de Aint Franc family. The Aubusson covers mostly appear to be taken from Jean de la Fontaine’s series of tales published from 1668-1694. Taken from various sources but relying heavily on the works of Aesop, Babrius, and Phaedrus, among others, as well as the Indian Bidrai, the tales often incorporated anthropomorphic animals in moralist predicaments, and were widely popular.

544 AFTER CARPEAUX, SÈVRES TERRACOTTA FIGURE ‘EVE AFTER THE FALL’/ ‘ÈVE APRÈS LA FAUTE’ DATED 1927 with impressed and incised maker’s marks SEVRES/ S 1927 DN/ MADE IN FRANCE/ E. R. 36cm high
£1,500-2,500 Note: This piece is based on an 1871 composition by the French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (b.1827, Valenciennes, d. 1875, Courbevoie). Carpeaux was one of the most influential sculptors of the 19th century, both through his work and his teaching. He studied at the Petite Ecole and the Ecole de Beaux-Arts (1844-54), winning the Grand Prix de Rome in 1854. He spent a period in Italy between 1856 to 1861, where he picked up a taste for movement and spontaneity in his work, influenced by the Baroque and by the frescos and sculpture of Michelangelo. This is where he produced his masterpiece, ‘Ugolino and his Sons’. Upon his return to France Carpeaux was a leading sculptor of the period, and his work was favoured by the Imperial family of Napoleon III, who commissioned various pieces. After the fall of Napoleon III in 1870 Carpeaux fled briefly to London, in search of new patrons, and it was during this period in 1871 that he produced ‘Eve After the Fall’. Aside from portrait commissions from wealthy patrons Carpeaux produced statuettes including female nude models, which displayed the eroticism which was present in much French sculpture of the period. This is clearly evident in ‘Eve After the Fall’, in which the viewer can appreciate the sensual form of Eve’s body as she casts her gaze downwards, a tree branch spreading its way across her thigh. In 1866 Carpeaux established his own atelier in which his work could be easily reproduced and reach a wider audience, particularly as pieces with an erotic tone, though controversial in public commissions, were widely acceptable in private collections. Sèvres made later reproductions of Carpeaux’s work, including examples of ‘Eve After the Fall’ in both terracotta and biscuit porcelain.

£300-500
Note: Andreas Hofer (1767-1810) was a Tirolean military leader and famous patriot, a popular hero who fought Napoleonic France and Bavaria in 1809-10, to try and return Tirol to Austrian rule. Even though Hofer was an innkeeper (Wirt in German), wine merchant and cattle dealer with no military experience, he led several successful minor actions against the Bavarian and Italo-French troops occupying his homeland. One of his most notable victories was the defeat of the Bavarians at the second Battle of Berg Isel near Innsbruck in August 1809, which forced them to leave the province. However, in October 1809 the Austrian emperor Francis I ceded Tirol to Napoleon in the Treaty of Schönbrunn, abandoning Hofer to the French. He was captured shortly after and taken to Mantua, where he was executed on Napoleon’s orders. In 1823 his bones were transferred to Innsbruck. Hofer remains a popular folk hero in Austria, and the poem “Sandwirth Hofer” is still the Tirolese anthem.

£2,000-3,000
Note: The 1911 Delhi Durbar was held at Coronation Park in Delhi to commemorate the coronation of George V and Queen Mary, and to proclaim the royals as Emperor and Empress of India. Official events, which included a large military parade and an award ceremony, lasted from 7th to 16th December, with the proclamation taking place on 12th. The Durbar was attended by almost every prince and nobleman in India, as well as thousands of landed gentry and people of note. A coloured feature film of the event was released in February 1912, and many paintings, photographs, postcards, press cuttings and memoirs about the festivities documented the occasion. The Mantua was launched as a commercial liner in 1909, used to transport passengers and mail to India and China (which may explain the plaque’s reference to R.M.S Mantua). Following the outbreak of World War I, she became H.M.S Mantua, and was commissioned into the Royal Navy. In 1918 Mantua sailed to Freetown, Sierra Leone. Some of her passengers had influenza, and as a result they may have spread the pandemic to the African continent. She returned to civilian service in 1920, before being scrapped in 1935.

CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. Special terms may be used in Catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS 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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.
22.1
(a) 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 endeavour 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 us 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 us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) 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. (c) 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. 3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological
reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.
(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.
(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.
(b) 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, we make 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 we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (d) 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. This, however, shall not apply in the case
(e) 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.

(b) As agent for an undisclosed principal: If You are bidding as an agent for an undisclosed principle (the ultimate Buyer(s)) You accept personal liability to pay the Purchase Price and all other sums due, unless it has been agreed in writing with us before commencement of the auction that the Bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of a named third party acceptable to us and we will seek payment from the named third party. 5.

Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve.

responsible for any error (human or otherwise) omission or breakdown in providing these services.
C. DURING THE SALE
7. SUCCESSFUL BIDS Unless the Auctioneer decides to use their discretion as set out above, when the Auctioneer’s hammer falls, we have accepted the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the Seller and the successful Bidder. We will issue an invoice only to the registered Bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by post/or email after the auction, we do not accept responsibility for telling You whether or not Your bid was successful.

D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY
3. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 2. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with 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. (b) 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 outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (c) 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 outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.
3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (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.
