1-87 EQUESTRIAN AND HUNTING
Henry Thomas Alken (1785-1951), was the most famous member of the Alken family. He was a true master draftsman and as comfortable in the medium of oil and watercolour as he was engraving. His hunting and racing prints disseminated his work far and wide through the 1820s and 1830s making him a household name. Often humorous, his prints gently satirised the eccentricities of the upper classes at play. An avid sportsman himself, it is the character which shines through his paintings that is particularly charming. The present lot shows two works, ‘The Meet’ and ‘The Kill’, most probably from a set of four which follow a hunt from beginning to end. Generally this will include ‘The Meet’, showing the riders and hounds gathering. Here, we can see what looks like the master of the hunt arriving by carriage to the left of the picture, another carriage is visible in the distance. Next, we might have ‘Breaking Cover’ where the fox has been forced into the open by the hounds. Next, we will have ‘In Full Cry’, depicting the high drama of the hounds and the riders galloping full pelt after their quarry. The final part is ‘The Kill’ which, in varying degrees of gruesome realism, depicts the moment the hounds catch up with fox and the ride is over. There is always so much detail in Alken’s paintings, so much observation has gone into the composition – every rider is an individual and every horse expresses an attitude, their heads full of personality. At the start of the hunt, the horses are portrayed a little skittishly - they are stomping, turning their heads; the riders are forced to rein them in, curbing their impatience for the off. The hounds sniff the ground or play, waiting for the command. Contrast this to ‘The Kill’ - the horses look tired, steam shooting out of their nostrils, the viewer can feel their exertion. The riders lean back in their saddles, one lights a cigar. The hounds are all attention, circling the fox expectantly, some latecomers bounding in. He has such a lightness of touch; there is a fluidity in the application of the paint which makes them look fresh and effortless. The proportions and physiognomy of the animals is so well observed, and it is these qualities that have given his paintings such enduring appeal.

Ascot was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 and the Hunt Cup later established in 1843. Covering a distance of one mile, Edwards captures the start of this prestigious event. Edwards was born in Conway, Wales, and grew up with a passion for horses and fox hunting. He trained at the Heatherley and at Frank Calderon’s School of Animal Painting. During the First World War, he volunteered as a Remount Purchasing Officer alongside Sir Alfred Munnings and Cecil Aldin. Edwards’ output was prolific; alongside painting he also wrote and illustrated more than thirty books and was commissioned to document the Olympics of 1928, 1932 and 1948. Executed in his preferred medium of watercolour, this painting demonstrates Edwards’ adeptness at portraying the movement and drama of horse racing.

IMPORTANT NOTE - LOTS 308 AND 309 CITES REGULATIONS To comply with CITES Regulations on post1947 skeletons and specimens found in Appendix I, all post-war taxidermy and skeletons have Article 10 certificates. If you are purchasing taxidermy for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate numbers or are aware of its reference number. Equally any species listed in CITES Appendix II will be requiring a (re-) export and import licence from the United Kingdom to the country of destination. It is therefore the responsibility of all commercial buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. For confirmation of certificate number, please refer to our website www.sworder.co.uk.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty. Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.
Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.
Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.
Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist
A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750. All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing. Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.
ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right? Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more. This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale. How are resale royalties calculated? The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.
What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs.

4%
From €50,000.01 to €200,000
3%
Are all sales of artwork covered? The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met:
From €200,000.01 to €350,000
1%
•
Hammer Price
From €350,000.01 to €500,000 Exceeding €500,000
Royalty
0.5% 0.25%
What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.
138
• • •
the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).
This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.

Terms of Sale (for Bidders and Buyers).
1. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Introduction The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. Methods of payment Lots must be paid for before they are collected or shipped. For those attending the auction we ask that Lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our Website, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the Goods away. Collection and storage All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. Commission Bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment, and collection or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day. Agency As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the Goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer. Estimates Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale Price. The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive. Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Spirits auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below). VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot. Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer. Inspection of Goods by the Buyer As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the description and condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clauses 12.2 and 12.4. Condition reports We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. Shipping of Goods We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased.

Export of Goods If you intend to export Goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. Commission bidding You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time. Telephone bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason. Online bidding Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.
IMPORTANT NOTICES Removal of Lots All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made. Electrical Goods All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified safe must be re-Commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-Commissioned. Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling. Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates. If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number. It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.
TERMS OF SALE Please note that if you register to bid and/or bid at auction this signifies that you agree to and will comply with these Terms of Sale.

Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your Commission bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. Where two or more Commission bids at the same level are recorded we have the right to prefer the first bid made (where this can be reasonably ascertained).

3. Bidding procedures and the Buyer 3.1 You must register your details with us before bidding and provide us with any requested proof of identity and billing information, in a form acceptable to us.

9. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 9.1 Please do not bid on a Lot if you do not intend to buy it. If your bid is successful, these Terms of Sale will apply to you. This means that you will have to carry out your obligations set out in these Terms of Sale. If you do not comply with these Terms of Sale we may (acting on behalf of the Seller and ourselves) pursue one or more of the following measures: 9.1.1 take action against you for damages for breach of contract; 9.1.2 reverse the sale of the Lot to you and/or any other Lots sold by us to you; 9.1.3 resell the Lot by auction or private treaty (in which case you will have to pay any difference between the Price you should have paid for the Lot and the Price we sell it for as well as the charges outlined in Clause 8.7). Please note that if we sell the Lot for a higher amount than your winning bid, the extra money will belong to the Seller; 9.1.4 remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense; 9.1.5 if you do not pay us within five business days of your successful bid, we may charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due; 9.1.6 keep that Lot or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due, including Shipping Costs where applicable; 9.1.7 reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or impose conditions before we accept bids from you; and/or 9.1.8 if we sell any Lots for you, use the money made on these Lots to repay any amount you owe us. 9.2 We will act reasonably when exercising our rights under Clause 9.1. We will contact you before exercising these rights and try to work with you to correct any noncompliance by you with these Terms of Sale. 10. Health and safety Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our employees’ or our agents’ negligence. 11. Warranties 11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that: 11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the Lot at auction; 11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and 11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct. 11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the total amount due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below. 11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand. 11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots.
12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot in advance of the auction. 12.3 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 will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. 12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. 13. Deliberate Forgeries 13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within thirty days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. 13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if: 13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or 13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2. 13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the Price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. 13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale. 14. Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen. 14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot. 14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for: 14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues. 17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect. 17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them. 17.6 Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Sale, each of our rights and remedies are: (a) are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies under these Terms of Sale or general law; and (b) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term.
