A Buyer’s Premium of 25% is applicable to all lots. The Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%). Unless otherwise indicated lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer’s margin scheme and VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is payable by all Buyers.

Unless otherwise stated all lots are subject to a reserve set at the low estimate or below. Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual Hammer Price of a lot may well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed “starting prices”.

The Auctioneers will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in person, subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in writing in good time and lots will always be purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and competition).

CATALOGUING PRACTICE PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE A work catalogued with the name(s) or recognised designation of an artist, without any qualification, is, in our opinion, a work by the artist. In other cases, the following expressions with the following meanings are used: “Attributed to……” In our opinion probably a work by the artist in whole or in part.

“Studio of….” “Workshop of….” In our opinion a work executed in the studio or workshop of the artist, possibly under his supervision.

“Circle of….” In our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence.

“Follower of…” In our opinion a work executed in the artist’s style but not necessarily by a pupil.

“Manner of….” In our opinion a work executed in the artist’s style but of a later date.

“After….” In our opinion a copy (of any date) of a work of the artist.

“Signed….”, “Dated….”, “Inscribed….” In our opinion the work has been signed/ dated/inscribed by the artist. The addition of a question mark (?) adds an element of doubt.

“Bears signature…”, “Bears date….”, “Bears inscription….” In our opinion the signature/date/inscription/stamp is by a hand other than that of the artist.

Provenance Thomas Hudson, London (Lugt 2432). In his day Hudson (British, 1701-1779) was the leading portrait painter in London.

He counted Joshua Reynolds among his students.

Nathaniel Hone RA, London (Lugt 2793). Hone (Irish, 1718-1784) was a portraitist and miniature painter and a founding member of the Royal Academy.

The Manning Galleries Ltd, London Edgar Seaton Hyde, Cheshire (acquired from the above in the 1960s) Thence by descent In the present work Apollo rides through the sky silhouetted against the sun opposite his twin sister Artemis, her head profiled against the moon and in the company of a group of chaste nymphs. Sagitarius in the form of a centaur is to Apollo’s right. The subject derives from the top section of the etching by Pietro Testa (1611-1650), of the Allegory of Autumn. Not shown in the present work, but present in the lower part of Testa’s etching, a drunken Silenus with the god Pan leads a lustful parade of satyrs and centaurs to honour the return of Bacchus from his travels through India.

£800-1,200 4

Provenance The Manning Galleries Ltd, London Edgar Seaton Hyde, Cheshire (acquired from the above in the 1960s) Thence by descent Ferri’s source for the present work was very likely Raphael’s tapestry of the same subject from his series of Acts of the Apostles commissioned

by Pope Leo X in 1517 and displayed on their completion in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. An etching by Cornelis Bloemaert (1603-1692) derived from Ferri’s composition was printed in 1678, copies of which are in the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Chief pupil and assistant of the painter and architect Pietro da Cortona (1596/7-1669) in Rome, Ferri completed the internal decorations at the Pitti Palace in Florence that Cortona had begun. Among his own work, one of the most impressive is the vast frescoes in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bergamo. Another of his major paintings St Ambrose healing an invalid - was the main altarpiece in the Church of Sant’Ambrosio della Massima, Rome.

Provenance Acquired by the present owner in the 1990s A favourite subject for painters visiting Rome, the walled giardino degli aranci (orange garden) - also known as Savello Park - stands on the Aventine Hill to the south of the capital. Formally the site of a fortress built by the Savelli family that was demolished in the early 17th century, the garden is closely linked to the neighbouring Basilica Santa Sabina, consecrated in the 5th century and home to the Dominican Order since the 13th century, hence why prelates and monks are so often depicted in the garden’s precincts.

He returned to Switzerland in 1835 where he published his ‘Souvenirs’ which include many of the maps and sketches of the topography he made during his time in South America.

Property from an English Private Collection 16 SIR WILLIAM ORPEN RA (IRISH 1878-1931) VATTETOT-SUR-MER titled, dedicated and dated VATTETOT / SUR MER / 1899 / WILL ROTHENSTEIN and ALICE ROTHENSTEIN lower centre gouache and watercolour on silk 16.5 x 37cm; 6 1/2 x 14 1/2in (fan shaped) 51.5 x 64cm; 20 1/4 x 25 1/4in (framed) Provenance William and Alice Rothenstein, London (a wedding present from the artist) Mrs Rachel Ward (née Rothenstein; 1903-1989, inherited from the above) Thence by descent to the present owner Exhibited London, The Leicester Galleries, The Collection of Sir William Rothenstein, 1946, no. 60 The present work, a wedding present from Orpen to William Rothenstein and his new bride Alice (née Newstub), celebrates the couple on holiday with friends in Vattetot on the Normandy coast. Rothenstein had married Alice on 11th June 1899. The figures depicted from top left are: Albert Rothenstein (later Rutherston) and William Orpen, Alice and William Rothenstein, Grace Knewstub (Alice’s sister, later Mrs. William Orpen) and John Herbert Everett, a fellow Slade student with Albert and Orpen. In the lower medallions are Augustus John (left) and Charles Conder (right).

Orpen had first met William Rothenstein through his brother Albert when he was a fellow student at the Slade. Together with Augustus John the trio formed what William jocularly referred to as ‘the three musketeers’. William and Alice had discovered Vattetot on a bicycling trip out from Dieppe. In his memoires William writes: ‘On our return to London we spoke of Vattetot to John and Conder, who, with Orpen and my brother [Albert], proposed to join us there next summer. When the summer came, it was a large party which descended upon Vattetot; never had so many easels and paint-boxes been seen. It was a glorious time, divided between painting and play.’ (William Rothenstein, Men and Memories, London, 1931, vol. 1, p. 347)

Provenance Richard Green Gallery, London Purchased from the above by the present owner in 1999 MacNicol was a student at the Glasgow School of Art (1887-1893) under Francis Henry Newbery, who encouraged her to travel to Paris to study at the more liberal Académie Colarossi where women were permitted to study alongside men. MacNichol was thus one of the first wave of female artists from Britain to study in France. Frustrated by the chauvinistic attitudes she encountered there, however, she soon returned to Scotland where she exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute. In 1896 she stayed in the artists’ colony in the fishing village of Kirkcudbright in Galloway on the Solway Firth, where she painted her striking portrait of Edward Atkinson Hornel (collection of Broughton House, Kircudbright), one of the Glasgow Boys, and the colony’s leading proponent. The same year she exhibited at the Munich Secession. She married Alexander Frew, a doctor and fellow artist, in 1899 and set up a large studio at their home in Glasgow, but died in the later stages of pregnancy in 1904. Now counted as one of the fabled ‘Glasgow Girls’, her work is all too little known as much was destroyed after her death.

Provenance Sir James Murray of Glenburnie Park, Aberdeen (by 1920) His sale, Christie’s London, 29 April 1927, lot 72 (as Flowers in a Black Vase) Lord Blanesburgh of Alloa Royal Caledonian Schools (bequeathed from the above in 1946) Sale, Christie’s London, 18 July 1969, lot 28 (as Mixed Flowers in a Black Jug Standing beside a Curtain) Mr Walker (purchased at the above sale) Sale, Christie’s London, 11 July 1976, lot 69 (as Mixed Flowers in a Jug) Mr O’Brien (purchased at the above sale) Exhibited Aberdeen, City Art Gallery, Sir James Murray’s Collection of Pictures, 1920 (as Flowerpiece) Literature ‘Sir James Murray’s Pictures’ in Aberdeen Press and Journal, 21 May 1920 Patricia Reed William Nicholson Catalogue raisonné of the Oil Paintings, London, 2011, p. 237, no 271, illustrated in colour William Nicholson’s flower pieces have always been popular, not least for the evident pleasure with which he approaches his subject. Often summer flowers that could be found in any garden are informally arranged in a variety of seemingly modest jugs and containers – creating a challenging combination of textures and colour. Here within the shallow picture space the flowers are dramatically presented against a dark chocolate velvet curtain, subtly distinguished from the glazed surface of the black Jackfield jug, with the flowers spot lit as on a stage. White nicotina stars with orange zinnias and blue delphiniums, while asters and others play a supporting role. Sometimes flowers depicted came from the artist’s garden in Rottingdean, but often when engaged on a portrait commission away from home Nicholson would chose flowers from his sitter’s gardens.

Black Jackfield pottery jugs date from the mid-18th century, their distinctive look made from mixing manganese with a dark firing clay at Jackfield, part of the Ironbridge-Coalbrookedale area in Shropshire. The Jackfield factory is now better known for the glazed and painted tiles found in Victorian and Edwardian homes and shops. Nicholson’s famous painting of 1916 The Hundred Jugs (Liverpool Art Gallery) features several used in his flower pieces but not, as far as can be seen, a black Jackfield jug.

The work is dated to circa 1912 on stylistic grounds; the composition is similar to Mauve Orchids in a Vase (Reed, ibid, p. 273) dated 1912. It is first recorded in the collection of Sir James Murray (1850-1933), when exhibited as part of the large art collection he had formed that hung in his London and Aberdeen homes. ‘…a beautiful composition of colouring’ declared the Aberdeen Press and Journal reviewing the 1920 exhibition. Having prospered in the Aberdeen meat trade Murray became Chairman of the Aberdeen Art Gallery Committee (1901-1928), and a major donor to the Gallery (founded 1885) both in terms of money and paintings. In 1917 he presented the Gallery with one of William Nicholson’s largest still lives The Brown Crow (1917) which, perhaps coincidentally, also includes a black Jackfield jug.

22 Somerton, near where the present work was painted, lies near the Norfolk coast, some thirteen miles east of Seago’s home and studio in Ludham.

The son of a coal merchant, Seago was born and raised in Norfolk, where he painted local views as a boy when bedridden with a heart condition. After leaving school aged 14 he ran away to join Bevan’s Travelling Show, touring widely with the troupe. He published the sketches and oils he completed of the performers and circus characters in Circus Company, Life on the Road in 1932. The introduction to the book was written by the poet laureate John Masefield, with whom Seago collaborated further, illustrating two volumes of Masefield’s poetry: The Country Scene (1937) and Tribute to Ballet (1939).

As well as Masefield, Seago acquired several other influential patrons during the 1930s. One was Henry Mond, 2nd Lord Melchet who invited Seago to Venice and commissioned him to paint a series of portraits of his family. Another was Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood, whose patronage brought his work to the attention of the Royal Family after the Second World War. In 1946 Seago settled in Ludham on the Norfolk Broads, where he purchased the picturesque, seventeenth century Dutch House. There he focused on painting atmospheric views of the surrounding countryside, evoking the region’s distinctive flat landscape and vast skies, punctuated by windmills, churches and marshland farmhouses. Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Charles, Prince of Wales at the time, all became devotees of his work, and his exhibitions with his dealer Colnaghi sold out immediately. Typically collectors queued around the block to acquire a painting, the gallery having to limit purchases to one each, a rule not dissimilar to those imposed by leading fashion brands today selling their merchandise to eager buyers on Bond Street.

30 Considered amongst the most radical abstract painters of the 1930s, Hubert is often overlooked in discussions of British 20th century art. He studied initially at the Reading School of Art before attending the Slade (1926-1929). Between 1933-36 he became one of the leading voices of Objective Abstraction; others in the group included Graham Bell, William Coldstream, Rodrigo Moynihan and Geoffrey Tibble. Hubert exhibited regularly with the London Group (1931-47), showed with the Mayor Gallery (1948-53), and was the subject of a retrospective at the ICA in 1958. From the end of the 1940s he lived in the family home in Billingshurst, West Sussex, and following the death of his good friend Jeffrey Tibble in 1952 he lived an increasingly reclusive life.

Property from a Private Collection, West London 33 • LYNN CHADWICK (BRITISH 1914-2003) RAD LAD II bronze height: 43cm; 17in Executed in 1962 and cast in an edition of 4.

Provenance Marlborough Fine Art Ltd, London Purchased from the above by the mother of the present owner 13 August 1965 Exhibited London, Marlborough Fine Art, Summer Exhibition, 1965, no.13 Literature Dennis Farr and Éva Chadwick, Lynn Chadwick Sculptor, With a Complete Illustrated Catalogue 1947-2003, London, 2014, p. 198, no. 362 (illustration of the cast in the Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal) In Rad Lad II a rugged and ridged head and body sit on three angular, tapering legs.

Its rough geometric form is half human, half robot. Chadwick’s light-hearted title - an abbreviation for ‘radiator man’ or plumber - refers to the work’s corrugated surfaces, but belies the more insidious presence the bronze’s spectre-like form suggests. Other more prescient titles he gave to similar sculptures of single figures he completed in the early 1960s included Watcher, Detector and Inquisitor. Such labels of monitoring and surveillance overtly reference the perceived existential threats present in the geo-politics of the day, when the Russian-American Cold War was entrenched, the Cuban Missile crisis was threatening, the Berlin Wall under construction and the horrors of the Vietnam War were unfolding.

Trained as an architectural draughtsman, Chadwick’s early forays into sculpture began as mobiles and constructions using materials to hand, in particular sheet metal and steel rods, applying stolit - a mix of gypsum paste and powdered iron - to texture his surfaces. But by the end of the 1950s he had started to cast his work in bronze, as in the present example. Chadwick’s interest in casting followed a formidably successful decade of development, beginning with his first solo show at Gimpel Fils in Mayfair in 1950, three separate large scale commissions for the Festival of Britain in 1951 and inclusion both in the Battersea Park Open Air Sculpture Exhibition, and the exhibition American Abstraction in New York the same year. In 1952 he was featured as one of eight young emerging British sculptors in the Venice Biennale, alongside Robert Adams, Kenneth Armitage, Reg Butler, Geoffrey Clarke, Bernard Meadows, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull. This meteoric rise continued when in 1956 he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, winning the International Sculpture Prize against the favourite Alberto Giacometti.

Born in Burma, after attending Bryanston school in Dorset, Heath took classes with Stanhope Forbes in Newlyn, Cornwall before enrolling at the Slade.

During the Second World War he served with the RAF as a tail gunner on Wellington Bombers. Taken prisoner after a failed mission, he spent the majority of the war incarcerated at Stalag 383 in Bavaria. There he met fellow prisoner Terry Frost (1915-2003), and taught him to paint. Following an unsuccessful attempt to escape, Heath spent much of his time in solitary confinement during which he developed his abstract approach to form. After the War he finished his course at the Slade, and spent time in Paris and Carcassonne. In the late 1940s and early 1950s he lived in Cornwall where he met Ben Nicholson and William Scott in St Ives. He was also a close associate of both Victor Pasmore and Anthony Hill. Heath became the main link between the emerging St Ives School in Cornwall and the British Constructivists based in London. He helped to organise the first post-war show of abstract art at the Artists International Association gallery in 1951, wrote on the origin and meaning of Abstract Art, and became the AIA’s chairman (1954-1964). He served on the Arts Council’s advisory art panel from 1964 to 1967.

Property sold to benefit Turner’s House, Twickenham (lots 36-42)

The artist Richard Long photographed beside lot 36

Sandycombe Lodge, Turner’s House in Twickenham, offers a unique insight into the life and works of Britain’s greatest landscape painter, JMW Turner.

Completed in 1813, Turner intended it as a quiet retreat, away from the pressures of the London art world; a place to which he would invite friends and indulge in his passion for fishing.

Some of the house’s features reflect the influence of Turner’s great friend and fellow fisherman Sir John Soane, who had built his own country property near by - Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing - just a few years earlier and was architect of the Bank of England and Dulwich Picture Gallery. But Turner was very much his own designer, his construction of Sandycombe Lodge revealing a lot about his ideal for living and, true to character, is typically idiosyncratic.

A private residence since Turner sold the house in 1826, its last owner, Professor Harold Livermore, lived there since 1947. Professor Livermore died in 2010, and in his will left the house in Trust, now Turner’s House Trust. The Trust has since overseen its complete restoration, returning the property to how Turner had intended it, and recreating the quiet, domestic interiors that Turner would have known.

36 • RICHARD LONG RA (BRITISH B.1945) RIVER AVON MUD FINGERPRINTS signed and dated Richard Long 2014 on the reverse mud finger prints on painted cupboard door 73 x 59cm; 28 3/4 x 23 1/4in (unframed) Provenance A gift from the artist to Turner’s House, Twickenham In the present work, Long uses his index finger dipped in mud from the River Avon to make marks in lines which radiate from the centre. He says of his art: ‘All my work is simple. I like the primal energy of just handprints or fingerprints. It’s like cave painting.’

Born in Bristol, where he still lives, Long’s work is based around walking and the direct experience of nature. While still a student at St Martin’s School of Art in the mid-’60s he began making walks, photographing the traces he had made (the flattened grass, stones displaced, paths formed), or marking the course of the walk on a map. Long first used mud as a medium in 1969, describing it as ‘a simple, direct natural material’. Later he began laying rocks or twigs in straight lines or circles, and then started reconstructing these works in interior settings, although the walk remained the basis for collecting the natural material.

Long represented Britain at the 37th Venice Biennale in 1976, and won the Turner Prize in 1989. He received the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French Ministry of Culture in 1990, was elected a Royal Academician in 2001, and in 2009 was the recipient of the Praemium Imperiale for sculpture from Japan. He was awarded a Knighthood in 2018.

£4,000-6,000

Since opening to the public in 2017, the house has hosted a series of critically acclaimed exhibitions that have shone new light on Turner’s life and art. The Trust also works closely with community organisations, offering programmes to alleviate mental and physical ill health.

Much of the funding for the house is from private donations, and the following seven lots by Richard Long and Peter Blake have been generously donated by the artists to raise funds to maintain the property and secure its future.

In 1924 Duchamp decided to try and raise money for a system he had developed for gambling at roulette by issuing bonds for 500 francs at 20% interest. Of the 30 bonds he originally printed, he only managed to sell two to friends - Jacques Doucet, the noted fashion designer and collector, and the painter Marie Laurencin. The system was a failure, Doucet was only repaid 100 francs and Laurencin nothing. The present example is from Duchamp’s second edition issued in 1938.

His early career was dominated by music, his love of jazz, and playing tenor sax in the Tommy Sampson Orchestra. Davie travelled extensively and was introduced to the work of Paul Klee, Jackson Pollock and Joan Miro while in Venice.

It was the American Abstract Expressionists which, along with his interest in Zen Buddhism, had the greatest influence on his work as an artist and, especially, brought about his love of the spontaneous. Davie worked in a similar way to Pollock: he would stand over a painting which was laid on the floor adding multiple layers of paint, often covering over the original work many times. As his technique became more controlled, recognisable symbols began to appear in his compositions often inspired by aboriginal art and native American ceramics as in the present lot and lot 50.

Sir John Craven (1940-2022), founded Phoenix Securities in 1981 and quickly became one of the most successful bankers in the glory days of the City following de-regulation. One of the early boutique investment banks in the Square Mile, Phoenix profited enormously from mergers and acquisitions at the time of the 1986 stockmarket big bang. Craven was subsequently courted by Morgan Grenfell, becoming their CEO. And when it in turn was acquired by Deutsche Bank Craven became the German bank’s first non-German board member. Deutsche’s fabled corporate art collection awakened Craven’s interest in art, but it was via his connection with another significant corporate collection - that of Flemings Bank - he began collecting. His taste in art was eclectic and wide ranging, his particular interest in Asian culture influenced by his third wife Ning Chang - Lady Ning - who predeceased him in 2009.

Provenance Wolpe Gallery Ltd, Cape Town Purchased from the above by the husband of the present owner in May 1986 Executed in 1972, the present work is one of a group of sculptures of William Jeffery’s head that Davies cast from life that year. Another version of Jeffery’s head by Davies was acquired by the Tate Gallery in 1972 (Collection of Tate Britain). Davies notes that his life casts were not intended as portraits of the sitter as they reveal little about their character, hence his addition of ‘devices’ to draw out and give expression to broader human qualities. In the Tate’s head he added chicken wire to the cast. In the present example he adds two dowells affixed with wire around the ears, sitting horizontally above the eyes, and on the tip of the nose. In a hand written note from March 1988 Davies noted of the present work that ‘I have cleaned and touched up the paint, renewed the wire in this Head of William Jeffrey 1972... ...probably the best way to keep its appearance sharp and clean is a perspex case’. Davies also includes a sketch of how the perspex case should look, which is how the work is currently displayed. (letter written ‘c/o Marlborough Fine Art’, dated 21 March 1988).

The inner core of meaning comes out of the human beings themselves, rather than being imposed on them, The figures are both more individualised and more anonymous. They are no longer specifically Scottish or Glaswegian, but tortured, suffering, doubting, brutal or brutalised, ugly, human creatures... In these disturbing works, we are made to confront the most painful and terrible experiences of our times.’ (Lotz, ibid, 1991)

He first worked in his ‘teens as a commercial artist, sign painting and creating advertisements for the likes of tobacco companies Red Man and Bull Durham. Then he enrolled at the Art Students League of New York where he changed his name to Eric Sloane. Subsequently settling in Lichfield County, Connecticut, where he was inspired by the Hudson River School of artists, Sloane became fascinated by Americana and the American folk tradition. He wrote prolifically on every day life during the Colonial-era, from tools to architecture, farming techniques to folklore and became friends with the landscape painter Andrew Wyeth. In the 1950s he spent time in Taos New Mexico, attracted to the vast desert landscapes and the huge ecocative skies. One of his best known works is the skyscape mural, Earth Flight Environment, commissioned by the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum for its opening in 1976, which remains on display there in the Independence Avenue Lobby. Sloane has a museum dedicated to his life and work in Kent, Connecticut.
