Estimate: $5,000 - $8,000
From Christies: “The Royal crest is almost certainly for Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge K.G. (1774-1850), seventh son of King George III (1760-1820) of Great Britain and Ireland. When the inkstand was sold in 1963 a label on the base read ‘Cambridge’ and it was assumed the inkstand had once been in the collection of the Duke of Cambridge. It does not appear in the 2nd Duke of Cambridge’s sale at Christie’s in 1904 suggesting it was a gift to the 1st Earl Howe.”

Note from the Avnet catalog: This composition of the Three Men Singing was engraved by Marc Antonio Raimondi in the early 16th century after a drawing done either earlier in his career or one by his master Francesco Raibolini, Il Francia. An engraving, now in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, was executed after the Raimondi around 1530 by the Master ENSR. The Avnet drawing is believed to have been based on this later engraving.
It is interesting to note the possible influence of Albrecht Durer. See: https://collections.artsmia.org/ art/67016/three-men-in-conversation-albrecht-duerer

The source of the subject is derived from the Bible in Genesis 22:6-14: Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”

The history of devotional figure La Divina Pastora begins in early 17th century Spain when a Capuchin friar named Isidore of Seville had a vision of the Virgin Mary. It is said that he witnessed her as a humble shepherdess. In this work she is decorated modestly in a sheep wool sweater, simple red tunic, blue mantle, and straw hat. La Divina Pastora sits on a rock, holding infant Jesus, the “Lamb of God” and surrounded by her flock, symbolizing the future sacrifice that her son will later make for humanity’s sins. In the background Archangel Michael is flying overhead and protecting a sheep from a wolf, depicting the everlasting struggle of good versus evil. Isidore of Seville felt so compelled by his vision that he had the image commissioned by an artist many believe to be Alonso Miguel de Tovar. The friar felt so moved by his vision that he sought out to share his vision and the newly created devotional painting, leading him from Spain and across the Atlantic. Landing initially in Venezuela, where the knowledge of La Divina Pastora would then spread throughout South America and beyond. This later reproduction could possibly be dated to the mid to late 18th century as it is lacking the two angels hovering a crown over Mary’s head and roses in the mouths of the sheep, details in the initial painting of La Divina Pastora by Alonso Miguel de Tovar, who was highly influenced by the Sevillian artist Bartolome Esteban Murillo. As more reproductions were made over the years, the composition of the initial work began to shift to simpler images, leaving out roses and the angels previously mentioned.

Estimate: $4,000 - $6,000
According to Neil Jeffares, “the original Liotard pastel appears in my online Dictionary at J.49.1342 (the sequence determined by the name, Countess Dietrichstein, by which the unidentifiable girl was once (falsely) known), followed by many dozen copies in pastel, oil and every other possible medium you can think of. Normally I list all copies of pastels but the task here is impossible. While in Dresden it was a set piece for students to copy, many to a very high standard. Since Liotard never visited Dresden and parted with the work early in his career, it is my view that only the original pastel itself is autograph and every other version, and all oils, are copies.”
