29 ARCHIBALD THORBURN (SCOTTISH 1860-1935) BRENT GOOSE AND COMMON SHELD DUCK Signed and dated 1925, watercolour 20.5cm x 28cm (8in x 11in) Literature: Archibald Thorburn, British Birds Vol 111, plate 102 original illustration

£4,000-6,000

Archibald Thorburn returned to the Highlands of Scotland to study and record the native wildlife throughout his life. His preferred spot was the Forest of Gaick in Invernesshire, a dramatic and ever-changing habitat populated by diverse creatures.

From warbler to eagle, Thorburn’s evocative watercolours are replete with technical prowess and keenly-observed detail, while also conveying something of his subject’s temperament. It is these qualities that distinguish Thorburn as one of the great ornithological painters.

Archibald Thorburn was born in 1869 in Lasswade near Edinburgh. His father Robert Thorburn was a leading miniaturist who worked for Queen Victoria. The young Archibald trained under his father, who emphasised the importance of anatomical study and attention-to-detail. Following his father’s death in 1885, Thorburn travelled to London to study at St John’s Wood School of Art, seeking counsel from the celebrated illustrator of natural history Joseph Wolf. A most important career development came in 1887, when Thorburn was commissioned to paint over 250 watercolours for the ornithologist Lord Lilford’s Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Isles. Following this, Thorburn enjoyed continued success. He regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy, and Edward VII and George V numbered amongst the collectors of his work. In 1899 he was elected Vice-President of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, designing the Society’s Christmas cards until his death in 1935.

In 1902 Thorburn moved to Hascombe, Surrey, where he lived with his wife Constance. He refused to adopt electric lighting, preferring to paint in natural light or using lamps and candles to illuminate his work. In 1930 it was reported that ‘as a painter he relies solely on natural light, working long hours indeed in the summer months but much shorter ones during the brief days of winter. Just occasionally he resorts to the use of his oil lamps, especially if drawing mice in the dimness of his garden shed.’ For the rest of his life Thorburn journeyed to the Highlands to sketch and make notes, before returning to his Surrey studio to complete his compositions.

She spent an extended period of time in Spain in the Spring of 1951, which provided subject matter for her work over several years. Redpath was drawn to the rich and ornate decoration of Catholic churches, particularly of their interiors. This can be seen in the present work, which is an attractive view through to an intimate altar setting and was probably executed on the spot.

He lived in London during the 1920s with his wife, the artist Agnes Miller Parker. They became involved with the English avant-garde art world whilst maintaining links with Scotland. Their assimilation of Surrealism and Cubism was unusual amongst their Scottish contemporaries and can be seen in this rare, complex and fully-realised drawing.

Such works led Hugh MacDiarmid to describe the couple in 1925 as ‘unquestionably the most promising phenomena of contemporary Scotland in regard to art’ (quoted in Alice Strang, A New Era: Scottish Modern Art 1900-1950, Edinburgh 2017, p.10).

115 REV. JOHN THOMSON OF DUDDINGSTON H.R.S. (SCOTTISH 1778-1840) CRICHTON CASTLE Oil on canvas 70cm x 104cm (27.5in x 41in) Provenance: The Bacon Collection, Norfolk, where the painting was attributed to J. M. W. Turner Drambuie Collection, Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh 26 January 2006, lot 52, £23,000 (hammer)

£10,000-15,000

The well-worn description of Thomson as an ‘amateur’ is perhaps misleading when it is realised that he was one of Alexander Nasmyth’s most gifted pupils, and later became a friend and sketching partner of J. M. W. Turner. Certainly he continued to practice as minister of the Parish of Duddingston, near Edinburgh, throughout his life, but it was painting that brought him greater celebrity (and certainly more income than his stipend provided). His technique was at times wayward, but at his best, he painted landscape with a fluidity and sense of light unmatched by any of his contemporaries. His work has a greater immediacy than that of Nasmyth and, arguably, a more Scottish quality, with its use of surprisingly dense impasto and heavily worked passages to evoke harsh weather conditions.

This impressive landscape was probably completed around 1818 when Thomson and Turner were commissioned to produce a series of engravings for Sir Walter Scott’s Provincial Antiquities of Scotland. Both artists also painted a number of oils during this period and there is something certainly ‘Turneresque’ about this painting (for many years it was actually - improbably - attributed to Turner). The sketching figure in the foreground may even be the great artist himself.

Crichton Castle occupies a dramatic outlook high over the River Tyne. It first appears in records in around 1400, and was later home to James, the 4th Earl of Bothwell, third husband of Mary Queen of Scots. After the 5th Earl of Bothwell Francis Stewart was accused of witchcraft, the castle fell into disrepair.

Thomson’s palette is unusually light and he has largely foregone the ochres and sepias that characterise much of his work. A mistaken belief that the much-admired Claude Lorrain favoured such colours (which were in fact the effect largely of discoloured varnishes) influenced several generations of British landscape painters. For once Thomson appears to have discarded his ‘Claude glass’ (used to view the landscape in suitably gloomy shades) and has painted a sky of piercing and intense blue, creating an effect that is both Italianate and highly Scottish.

116 ALEXANDER NASMYTH (SCOTTISH 1758-1840) THE MILLER’S LINN, INVERARY Signed and dated 1807, oil on canvas 56cm x 86.5cm (22in x 34in)

£6,000-8,000

Alexander Nasmyth is remembered as the father of Scottish landscape painting. This delightful Inverary scene depicts industry and leisure: while figures on both banks enjoy an afternoon of fishing, the mill’s puffing chimney indicates work taking place within.

The landscape is rendered with characteristic meticulousness, while retaining an atmosphere of romance and charm, demonstrating Nasmyth’s mastery of the genre.

Alexander Nasmyth was born in Edinburgh in 1758, and would go on to become a key figure of the Edinburgh cultural Renaissance at the start of the nineteenth century. Initially apprenticed as a heraldic painter to a coachbuilder, his talent was identified by Allan Ramsay, who employed Nasmyth at his London studio. Here, he honed his painting technique working on minor areas of Ramsay’s compositions, while gaining an invaluable insight into the business of studio commissions.

In 1778 Nasmyth returned to Edinburgh, and soon became an in-demand portrait painter. He travelled to Italy in 1782 to further study painting, a venture made possible by a loan from the banker Patrick Miller of Dalswinton. Miller would remain Nasmyth’s patron throughout his career, and as an expression of gratitude Nasmyth named his first son Patrick, who himself would go on to be a significant Scottish artist. Patrick Nasmyth also painted the Miller’s Lynn, Inverary in 1818.

Alexander Nasmyth remained in Italy for two years, travelling around the country and developing his skills as a painter of landscapes. Upon his return to Scotland he developed a close friendship with Robert Burns, and the pair would often enjoy long walks together across central and southern Scotland. Nasmyth’s famous portrait of Burns now hangs in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

From 1792 Nasmyth concentrated on landscape painting in the Dutch style. Architectural structures often feature in his scenes, owing to his enduring interest in building and engineering. Many of his designs for members of the Scottish nobility were realised, including the Dean Bridge in Edinburgh and a temple covering St. Bernard’s Well by the Water of Leith. By 1815 his reputation was such that he was invited to submit a proposal for the expansion of Edinburgh’s New Town.

Nasmyth’s influence on Scottish landscape painting cannot be understated. He established a painting school at his home on York Place, Edinburgh, teaching pupils including Sir David Wilkie, David Roberts and Clarkson Stanfield. He insisted that his followers draw with their subject before them, rather than working from existing drawings or paintings. Wilkie would later describe Nasmyth as ‘the founder of landscape painting in Scotland [who] by his taste and talents took the lead for many years in the patriotic aim of enriching his native land with the representations of her romantic scenery’.

£6,000-8,000

Where is My Good Little Girl? was highly regarded by critics of the day: “Mr. T. Faed’s two pictures (Nos. 187, 542) are both pretty. Where is My Good Little Girl?

Is the best. It is, as this artist so often gives us, the interior of a Scottish cottage, with mother and baby seated; she is turning to a little girl in disgrace (who is covering her face with her pinafore), and trying to coax her out of her wilfulness.” - The Scotsman “The most compelling of Mr. Faed’s two works is Where is My Good Little Girl? (187) wherein he has realised in his usual felicitous manner a homely pastoral of rustic child life. A humble matron is seated nursing her infant, while a little three year old, whose back is to the spectator, stands apart by the casement in the sulks.” - News of the World “Where is My Good Little Girl? By Mr. Thomas Faed, R.A., is in this artist’s best manner; a young and good looking-mother seated in her cottage is turning towards a little girl who is standing with her face in her pinafore, and evidently indulging in a ‘display of temper.’ The mother’s inquiry gives us the title of the picture, which has been painted with exquisite are and skill; the scheme of colour is agreeable, and the pains bestowed upon the smallest accessory is evidenced by the young lady in her ‘tantrums’.”

121 JOHN RITCHIE (SCOTTISH FL.1849-65) THE CONTESTED ELECTION Signed with initials, oil on canvas 74cm x 122cm (29in x 48in) Exhibited: Birmingham Society of Artists 1867

£10,000-15,000 John Ritchie’s group compositions are particularly accomplished. While the painting depicts a hustings in 1750, the scene is replete with biting commentary upon contemporary Victorian politics and society, and likely references the fierce debate that preceded the 1867 Reform Act. A series of figures placed from right to left across the composition demonstrate political engagement across diverse social groups, but also serve to illustrate their profound economic disparity and disenfranchisement: first, the children playing in a basket in the dirt, their parents perhaps in attendance either at the hustings or the nearby tavern; next, the soldier whose wounded leg means he must be wheeled to the hustings; then the well-heeled men who climb upon a cart to gain a better view; and finally, the aristocratic woman attended by her coachmen, who observes the action from the safety of her elegant carriage. Below the speaker leading the hustings, a man holds a scarecrow aloft in mockery. The mass of the crowd lends the composition an epic scope, but the discrete interactions between Ritchie’s figures also reveal pathos, satire and compassion. His compositions are rich with detail, and always reward closer inspection.

Ritchie was an accomplished genre painter best-known for his depictions of contemporary Victorian life. He was particularly inspired by William Powell Frith’s panoramic paintings with animated crowd scenes. Ritchie exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists and the British Institution. This particular painting was shown at the Birmingham Society of Artists exhibition in 1867. He is best known for his companion paintings of London A Winter’s Day in St, James’ Park and A Summer Day in Hyde Park, exhibited at the Liverpool Academy in 1858. Despite Ritchie’s formidable talent, very little is known about his life.

The Paton family kept a home in Arran, and the island proved an enduring source of

WALLER HUGH PATON R.S.A., R.S.W. (SCOTTISH 1828-1895)

inspiration for Waller Hugh throughout his life. He is renowned for his mastery of sunsets,

and this coastal scene bathed in golden-pink light is a particularly strong example. From

Autumnal evening. The scene’s delicate transience may be connected to the influence of PreRaphaelitism, but also to Paton’s preference for developing the entirety of his composition outdoors, at the time a pioneering practice in Scotland. Beside the cottage beyond the trees, two figures watch the changing sky. By composing the scene as though observed from the coastal path, Paton also invites the viewer to pause and contemplate the beauty of the landscape.

Waller Hugh Paton was born in Wooers-Alley, Dunfermline. His family was artistic: his father was a damask designer, and his siblings Sir Joseph Noel Paton and Amelia Robertson Hill were both artists. From 1948, Waller Hugh Paton trained with the accomplished landscape and genre painter John Adam Houston, learning the importance of rigorous observation and the principles of perspective. John Ruskin was a family friend, and in 1853 Paton is likely to have attended the artist and critic’s Edinburgh lectures on the principles of Pre-Raphaelitism.

In March of 1879, the Art Journal wrote that Waller Hugh Paton’s landscapes possessed ‘as little of the human as must be, as much of the divine as may... although entirely faithful in feature to the locale, [his work] is handled with such delicate grace, and is so redolent of the sweet sanctity of perfect peace, that we seem to gaze rather on a fairy region than on any this world can offer’.

Robert Brough’s talent and approach was beautifully summarised by his great friend and mentor, John Singer Sargent: ‘. . . the grace, the fluidity, the lightness of touch that are so delightful in Brough; that very rare quality of surface that seems to make the actual paint a precious substance.’ That is exactly what we can see in ‘Girl by the Fireside,’ a sumptuous, elegant piece of painting where the fluid and dextrous handling of the paint is a great joy in and of itself. The subject is an elegant lady wrapped still in her richly trimmed winter coat relaxing into a chair, her legs outstretched in front of the smouldering embers of the fire. This seems to be a peaceful, almost indulgent moment of relaxation yet her head tilt and direct gaze asserts her presence and acknowledges the position of artist and viewer.

Brough suggest all these details with a sparsity of paint but a fluidity of brushwork, dashing across the canvas, the application thin but the effect luxurious.

Brough was a precocious talent, exposed to art from an early age by neighbours including Sir George Reid. He commenced his training in the local city of Aberdeen, with an apprenticeship to a lithographer and evening classes at the newly opened Gray’s

School of Art but moved down to Edinburgh to attend the Royal Scottish Academy Life School.

By the end of his first year he was awarded three significant prizes, the most accomplished student of the year. Brough completed further training in Paris, enrolling at the Acadamie Julien in Paris with his great friend, the Scottish Colourist S.J. Peploe, before travelling on in search of Sisley at Moret-surSeine and then Gauguin at Pont Aven in Brittany. By 1897, and the age of twenty-five, he was working in London alongside Sargent. Brough’s life was tragically cut short at the age of thirty-two when he suffered significant burns as the result of a train accident, Sargent hurried to be by his side at the end.

£8,000-12,000

The entirety of his artistic career lasted just sixteen years and in the period following his death, artistic fashions moved quite quickly away from the elegant portraiture that artists like Brough and Sargent had favoured. This may explain why an artist so lauded in his day is relatively little known now. Yet to engage with his paintings transports us back to the perception of him in life, as a formidably talented painter, confident, elegant and dashing, each work a true pleasure to behold.

The work of Charles Hodge Mackie was recently celebrated in a major exhibition at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh. It revealed the importance of Venice to him as a rich source of subject matter, as seen in Ca d’Oro, Venice. Curator Dr. Helen Scott wrote that his time in the city ‘resulted in a compelling group of oil paintings, watercolours and woodcuts, which capture the city at its most atmospheric.’

£6,000-8,000

73cm x 61cm (28.75in x 24in)

This can be seen in the present work. A bridge, glimpses of gondolas and boats with unfurled sails dominate the foreground and right-hand side of the composition. They give way to a delicately realised expanse of the Grand Canal, in which Mackie has skilfully captured the effect of light and reflections on its surface. In the background the finely-wrought façade of the magnificent titular palace is seen, under a mixture of shadow and sunshine.

It is possible that Ca d’Oro, Venice is the untraced painting mentioned in Pat Clark’s 2016 monograph about Mackie. She wrote ‘It is disappointing to say that Mackie’s painting of one of the most magnificent buildings in Venice, shown at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1915, has not been traced. The subject was the Ca’ d’Oro or House of Gold....He exhibited the painting again at the Royal Glasgow Institute in 1916, asking a mere £63, but there is no record of sale. it was also shown at the Royal Academy in London the next year. It must have found an appreciative buyer since it was loaned to the 1921 Memorial Exhibition by ‘Sir P. Jeffrey Mackie Barr’...Perhaps it will surface again.’ (Pat Clark, Peploe, Places and Piazzas: The Life and Art of Charles H. Mackie, Bristol 2016, p. 116).

WILLIAM CROZIER A.R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1897-1930) A FRENCH SUNLIT MARKET

PATRICK WILLIAM ADAM R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1854-1929)

Signed, oil on canvas

STUDIO GLEAMS

91cm x 71cm (36in x 28in)

Inscribed on the artist’s label verso, oil on canvas

Provenance: The Collection of the late R.L. MacDonald Note: Crozier’s death at the age of thirty-three meant that his career was short and his oeuvre is small.

A French Sunlit Market is a rare example of the work with which he nevertheless established a reputation as a key member of the Edinburgh School. This group of artists included William Gillies and William MacTaggart amongst others and rose to prominence during the inter-war period. They met as students at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) with Crozier eventually sharing a studio with MacTaggart.

61cm x 46cm (24in x 18in)

£2,000-3,000

Following studies under André Lhote in Paris, Crozier and MacTaggart spent several winters together in France during the 1920s. The present work is thought to have been inspired by one such trip. Its lowtoned palette and geometrical simplication of form, particularly obvious in architectural terms, shows Crozier’s sensitive handling of light and colour, as well as an awareness of Cubism.

Crozier died following a fall in his studio. His ECA contemporary, Harold Harvey Wood, later recalled ‘Scottish painting suffered a very severe loss in the premature death of Wiliam Crozier, who, quite apart from his considerable gifts as a painter, represented a kind of oasis in the illiterate and philistine deserts of the Scottish studios’ (as quoted in Ann Simpson, William Crozier 1893-1930, Edinburgh 1995, p.8).

145 GEORGE LESLIE HUNTER (SCOTTISH 1877-1931) FISHING BOATS, LARGO Signed, oil on board 23cm x 36cm (9in x 14in) Exhibited: Glasgow, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, 1943 Note: Hunter was born on the Isle of Bute and emigrated to America with his family in 1892. He established himself as an artist in San Francisco before moving to Glasgow in 1906. The city remained the base to which he returned throughout a peripatetic life which included significant amounts of time spent in France. Hunter had his first solo exhibition at Alexander Reid’s gallery, La Société des Beaux-Arts in Glasgow in 1913, with the business supporting him for the rest of his career.

By 1918, Hunter was in touch with S. J. Peploe and their work was shown with that of F. C. B. Cadell in The Leicester Galleries, London five years later. They were joined by J. D. Fergusson for a group exhibition at the Galerie Barbazanges, Paris in 1924, for another at The Leicester Galleries the following year and with the addition of Telfer Bear and R. O. Dunlop at the Galeries Georges Petit in the French capital in 1931, shortly before Hunter’s death, aged fifty-four.

Between 1919 and 1926, Hunter spent part of each spring and summer in Fife in eastern Scotland, which is bordered by the Firth of Tay, the Firth of Forth and the North Sea. As Bill Smith and Jill Marriner have written ‘He came upon an important source of inspiration through his fortuitous discovery of Fife and the possibilities inherent in its colourful landscape and rural architecture...it opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for Hunter. Subsequently he would go to Fife in any season. It was there that he made the break to paint en plein air. The artistic ground he gained as a result marked an important turning point in his development in terms of modern colour.’ (Bill Smith and Jill Marriner, Hunter Revisited: The Life and Art of Leslie Hunter, Edinburgh 2012, p. 79) ‘Largo’ comes from the Gaelic word meaning hillside and is the name of a region in the East Neuk of Fife. It consists of the villages of Upper and Lower Largo and Lundin Links. It was in this area that Hunter painted the present work. Given its intimate scale it was probably made on the spot in direct response to the view before him, of modest fishing boats moored at Lower Largo harbour.

The scene is captured in confident brushstrokes, highlights of bright colour and harmonious tones of pale blue and green. A sense of movement in the sea and the vessels atop it is communicated. The eye is led out to the horizon, past rocks which break the surface of the sea and the modest, summarily-described figures gathered on the harbour wall on a fresh, sunny day.

£1,500-2,500

Between 1927 and 1929 Hunter spent extensive periods working in the south of France, particularly in Provence.

He captured the climate and life-style in lively works such as the present examples. They show his exceptional skills as a draughtsman, with his deft scene-setting and fluid depiction of trees and architecture. Structure is provided by inked lines, emotion and warmth by the use of coloured chalk, dominated by a verdant green. In 1928, Hunter described Provence as ‘the best part of Europe with sunshine every day, fruit, flowers, fine colours and everything the heart could desire.’ (letter from Hunter to Matthew Justice quoted in Bill Smith and Jill Marriner, Hunter Revisited: The Life and Art of Leslie Hunter, Edinburgh 2012, p. 136, footnote 13, p. 191).

148 FRANCIS CAMPBELL BOILEAU CADELL R.S.A., R.S.W. (SCOTTISH 1883-1937) ST.COLUMBA’S BAY, IONA Signed, oil on canvas 51cm x 76cm (20in x 30in) Provenance: The Collection of the late R.L. MacDonald

£80,000-120,000

F. C. B. Cadell is as renowned for his depictions of the Hebridean island of Iona, as he is for his stylish still-lifes and images of Edinburgh’s New Town interiors and inhabitants. Indeed, the importance of his Iona paintings was recognised by a room dedicated to them in the major retrospective of his work held at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in 2011 and they were the subject of a chapter in the accompanying publication (‘Warmed by the sun, blown by the wind’: Cadell and Iona’ in Alice Strang, F. C. B. Cadell, Edinburgh 2011).

Following the success of Cadell’s breakthrough trip to Venice in 1910 and his subsequent solo exhibition at The Scottish Gallery, Cadell further cemented his professional standing by becoming a co-founder of the Society of Eight in 1912.

His fellow members in this exhibiting group included John Duncan, James Paterson and Sir John Lavery. Cadell’s work was represented in their first exhibition, mounted in the West End of Edinburgh that year, and in all of their subsequent shows until his death in 1937.

It was in 1912 and at this propitious point in his career that Cadell visited Iona for the first time.

The island had found growing favour with artists since the mid-nineteenth century, not least with Cadell’s Society of Eight colleagues Duncan and Paterson. He may also have been encouraged to travel there by his friend Ivar Campbell, the nephew of the 9th Duke of Argyll, who owned the island.

Iona’s attractions are many and varied and had an immediate impact on Cadell. As Alice Strang has written ‘the ever-changing light conditions on Iona, the effect of sunshine on the shallow water along the beaches of dazzling white sand, the intensity and range of colour of the surrounding sea, sky and land, the complexity of its rock formations and wide range of views within and beyond the island, inspired Cadell time after time’ (op.cit., p. 19). Cadell was to spend almost every subsequent summer there until about 1933, apart from during War service. He was happy for people to watch him at work and was affectionately known as ‘Himself’ in the community. In 1920, Cadell introduced Peploe to the island and he too returned for regular visits thereafter.

In contrast to his studio-based practice in Edinbugh, whilst on Iona Cadell favoured working outdoors. St Columba’s Bay, Iona encapsulates his joyful response to the beauty of his natural surroundings. Legend has it that it was to here, the most southern bay on the island, that St Columba arrived from Ireland in 563AD to establish Christianity in Scotland. It provides views to the Black Island, Islay and Jura. In the present work, Cadell captures the very edge of the machair, before an expanse of sand is intruded upon by weathered outcrops of rock.

The movement and varying colours of the sea as it flows in the bay and beyond, is depicted underneath a cloud-scudded sky; the whole is lit by glorious sunshine.

Cadell’s Iona works proved popular and sold well, not least in the Society of Eight exhibitions.

Examples are held in numerous public collections, including those of the National Galleries of Scotland, Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum, the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow and The McManus: Dundee’s Art Gallery & Museum.

149 FRANCIS CAMPBELL BOILEAU CADELL R.S.A., R.S.W. (SCOTTISH 1883-1937) THE GIUDECCA AND REDENTORE, VENICE Signed and dated ‘10, inscribed on the backboard verso, oil on board 37cm x 44.5cm (14.5in x 17.5in) Provenance: Acquired from the Artist by Sir Patrick Ford and thence by descent when purchased by the current owner

£50,000-70,000 The Giudecca and Redentore, Venice comes from a beautiful series of works which marked Cadell’s emergence as one of the most important Scottish artists of the twentieth-century.

Cadell trained at the Académie Julian in Paris and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. He had his first solo exhibition in Edinburgh in 1908, which garnered twenty-five sales including to his school friend and future politician Patrick Ford. The following year, Cadell established a studio in George Street, in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.

In 1910, Cadell received a cheque from Ford ‘to go to Venice and paint. He to choose equivalent in

pictures on return £150’ (as recorded by the artist in his Register of Pictures and quoted in Alice Strang, F. C. B. Cadell, Edinburgh 2011, p. 17). It is no wonder that Cadell was attracted to Venice.

Its romanticised reputation as an artistic mecca had been cemented in the nineteenth-century, with Lord Byron’s dramatic poetry and J. M. W. Turner’s evocative representations inspiring a generation of artists, each keen to depict the city’s unique vistas. Despite the explosion of tourist activity, Venice never became passé among artists. Manet and Whistler were drawn there, excited by the challenge of creating their own interpretations of lauded Venetian motifs.

Though Monet resisted visiting until 1908, he too was stimulated by the beautiful architecture and mercurial light of the Lagoon and produced a series of atmospheric paintings which received wide critical approval upon their exhibition.

The bright Mediterranean light shimmering off the canals had a marked effect on Cadell’s palette, into which he introduced a much more vibrant colour range. Though it is highly unlikely that he saw Monet’s Venetian cityscapes at first hand, the tonal similarities of their work inspired by the city is striking; both artists punctuating the whites and creams of the sun-drenched architecture with pinks, purples and turquoises. Cadell’s technique became looser and more expressive than ever before. Bold, loaded brushstrokes were layered

to convey the rippling surface of the waterways and fleeting impressions of passers-by. He revelled in the beautiful scenes by which he found himself surrounded and painted views as varied as that of a bustling St Mark’s Square to quieter, more contemplative corners of the city and its inhabitants.

The present work depicts one of Venice’s most celebrated views. Against a backdrop of a vividlyrealised sky, Cadell describes the distinctive outline of the Redentore, the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer and its architectural neighbours.

He conveys reflected light with swift, delicate lilac flicks of his paint brush. As we lower our eyes and let them drift across the rippling waves of the Giudecca Canal, we meet the thoughtful figures at the water’s edge. The surface of the painting is enlivened with rhythmic, distinct brushstrokes, with paint quickly applied ‘wet on wet’, giving a sense of the speed and confidence with which Cadell worked.

The results of Cadell’s successful and productive trip were exhibited at The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh in 1912 and proved to be a watershed in his burgeoning career. Ford selected six from the series for his collection, including The Giudecca and Redentore, Venice, which remained in his family for generations. Three further Venetian paintings were presented in Ford’s honour to the National Galleries of Scotland in 2014.

JOHN DUNCAN FERGUSSON R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1874-1961) STUDY NO.6 Signed and inscribed verso, oil on board 61cm x 51cm (24in x 20in)

£80,000-120,000

Study No. 6 comes from an extraordinary series of female nudes which Fergusson painted in Paris during the period c.1910-13. They have been described as ‘the most original paintings in British art of the period...which reached their triumphant conclusion in Les Eus’ [Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow], considered by many to be Fergusson’s masterpiece (Alice Strang et al, J. D. Fergusson, Edinburgh 2013, p.18).

After sporadic training in Paris during the 1890s, Fergusson had established a studio in Edinburgh by 1902. By this point he had become friends with S.J. Peploe, with whom he painted en plein air during summers spent in France.

In 1905, Fergusson had his first solo exhibition, at the Baillie Gallery in London. In the meantime, he became increasingly interested in developments in contemporary art in the French capital, partnered by growing frustration with the conservatism of the Scottish art world.

An inheritance received on the death of his father and the start of a relationship with the American painter Anne Estelle Rice led to Fergusson’s decision to move to Paris in 1907. His work changed quickly and dramatically as he not only experienced at first hand the latest paintings by cutting-edge artists including the Fauves, such as Henri Matisse and André Derain, but he also digested and responded to their advances. Gone was the Edwardian sophistication of his Edinburgh work, to be replaced by vivid colours and a daring flattening and outlining of form. Such was the originality of his new paintings that in 1912 Fergusson was elected a member of the progressive Salon d’Automne in recognition of his contribution to the modern movement.

Fergusson persuaded Peploe to join him in Paris in 1910, They spent two vital years together, at the heart of the celebrated Rhythmist group of AngloAmerican artists. Fergusson became Art Editor of their journal Rhythm, whilst an exhibition at the Stafford Gallery in London in 1912 showcased their work.

Fergusson described Paris as ‘simply a place of freedom’ and later recalled ‘we were a very happy group....no wonder S. J. [sic] said these were some of the greatest nights of his life. They were the greatest nights in anyone’s life.’

It was during this key period in Fergusson’s career that he painted Study No.6. Having previously portrayed friends and partners, Fergusson employed professional models whom he depicted as anonymous nudes. Indeed, in the present work, the sitter’s eyes are obscured as she presents a mask-like face to the viewer. Fergusson created a dauntless vision of womanhood based on powerful sensuality, as amply illustrated by Study No. 6. It is a remarkably confident image, with similiarities to the work of Kees van Dongen and German Expressionism. Voluptuous form is paired with rigorous simplification, a rich palette, bold delineation and strong patterning. Other works in the nude series include Rhythm (University of Stirling), At My Studio Window, The Fergusson Gallery, Perth and Torse de Femme in Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery, Glasgow.

S.J. PEPLOE AT 150 2021 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of S. J. Peploe (1871-1935), one of the most important Scottish artists of the 20th century. He was the eldest and most successful of the four artists known as the ‘Scottish Colourists’, along with F. C. B. Cadell, J. D. Fergusson and G. L. Hunter.

Peploe was born in Edinburgh. He trained at the Académie Julian in Paris and at the Royal Scottish Academy Life School in the Scottish capital. His first solo exhibition was held in 1903 and having made

to France and throughout Scotland. A sensitive and direct response to his natural surroundings, amidst varying weather and light conditions, inspired some of his most significant creations.

Peploe’s work was exhibited regularly in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, in group exhibitions in Paris and in 1928 he had a solo show in New York. This international standing was officially recognised on his election as a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1927. Peploe briefly joined the staff of Edinburgh College of Art in 1933, with the college’s Principal recalling that ‘his influence was admirable, his standards high, his criticism acute’. Following his death in 1935, Peploe was described in The Times as ‘one of the most interesting and inspiring of Scottish painters…one of the few whose works were highly esteemed not only in Scotland, but in England and abroad.’ His work is held in numerous public collections in the UK and beyond.

Olive Trees, Cassis was included in Peploe’s solo exhibition at the Baillie Gallery in London in 1914, which cemented his reputation as one of the leading British artists of his generation.

The accompanying press coverage declared him to be a ‘Post-Impressionist’ with The Studio’s critic describing him as ‘an artist whose head is stronger than the theories he has embraced...he gets the best out of them, gaining from what licence for freedom of line and abandonment to colour he may require, but preserving always evidence of contact with life... retaining vitality and the power to convince.’ (‘Studio-talk’, The Studio, vol. 61, 1914, p. 232)

He enjoyed painting the village and in this work of 1916 his subject is Comrie Parish Church. Viewed looking towards the north-east, its steeple emerges from trees and reaches into a richly described cloudy sky. Peploe used a similar geometric simplification of architecture and natural environment, realised with a gentle palette, in his contemporary depictions of Kirkcudbright.

Having explored the visual possibilities of the tulip in the immediate post-World War One period, roses emerged as Peploe’s favoured flower in the early 1920s. They became the subject of the most celebrated paintings of his career. The interplay of light and colour amidst their layered heads, as well as the formal contrast with their strongly defined leaves proved endlessly inspirational. On a practical level, roses maintained their shape long enough to satisfy Peploe’s painstaking working methods.

In his still lifes of the decade, Peploe brought to bear all the experience he had gained in the genre as an emerging artist in Edinburgh before the war, his experimentation in pre-war Paris and the development of his practice during the conflict. Peploe’s exploration of the work of artists from Edouard Manet, to Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne were brought to a triumphant and original conclusion in this period, as revealed in Roses and Fruit.

balance and allowing a seamless visual journey from drapery in the background to plate in the foreground. The cropping of, for example, the aspidistra leaf which enters from the left, is a clever device suggesting the space beyond the canvas, into which the viewer is invited to join the artist. The complex and triumphant realisation of the roses, their stems in water and the view through the vases are passages of extraordinary skill. A gentle palette is combined with bright colour, especially in the fruit, to provide rhythm and structure. It was with works such as Roses and Fruit that Peploe rose to international prominence in the 1920s and on which his enduring reputation as one of Scotland’s most important artists is based.

In 1915, Peploe had his first solo exhibition at Alexander Reid’s gallery, La Société des Beaux-Arts, in Glasgow. Thus began a long and productive relationship with the business, which expanded to London, involving regular exhibitions throughout the rest of Peploe’s life. As a result, many art lovers were introduced to Peploe’s work, not least the Glasgow ship-owner Ion R. Harrison. He purchased Roses and Fruit from Alexander Reid when it was included in a solo exhibition in the city in 1924. It was one of the first two paintings by the Scottish Colourists which he acquired before going on to become one of their most significant patrons.

Indeed, over time the walls of the Harrison family home, Croft House in Helensburgh, were hung with masterpieces not only by Peploe, but also by Cadell, J. D. Fergusson and G.L. Hunter. Such was the eventual importance of the Harrison Collection that it was exhibited at the McLellan Galleries in Glasgow in 1951.

One of Peploe’s favourite still-life objects, the titular cast of a torso of Venus, is key to the success of The Statuette’s composition. His pleasure in colour and reflections, as well as his mastery of rhythm and structure, are clear. This work was included in the Festival Exhibition of work by Peploe and his fellow Scottish Colourists F.C.B. Cadell and G.L. Hunter, held at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh in 1949.

CATHEDRAL

Note: This painting dates from 1957 Philipson’s images of cathedrals are amongst the most celebrated of his works. This major theme in his oeuvre is thought to have been inspired by holidays in France. He explained ‘what impressed me about cathedrals like Rouen and Amiens was the powerful window tracery seen from outside and the sense of ascending.’ (as quoted in Philip Long, Robin Philipson 1916-1992, Edinburgh 1999, p.15).

Cathedral is one of the earliest paintings exploring this key subject matter. Elizabeth Cumming has written that the cathedral series ‘opened up a new way of working and painting. Although familiar with, and indeed to an extent inspired by, Monet’s celebrated studies of Rouen cathedral, Robin wanted to cut his own cloth and find new meaning and expression for a traditional subject. Initial studies of the formal architecture of French cathedrals, and especially Gothic window tracery viewed from the exterior, gave way gradually to an interest in the glass itself. Interiors were at least as dynamic and he produced a number of rose window paintings which were entrancing works.’ (Elizabeth Cumming, Robin Philipson, Bristol 2018, p. 44).

Examples of Robinson’s cathedral paintings are held in multiple public collections, including those of the National Galleries of Scotland, Glasgow Life (Glasgow Museums) and the Government Art Collection.

Anne Redpath is widely recognised as the doyenne of post-World War Two Scottish painting. She was born in Galashiels and trained concurrently at Edinburgh College of Art and Moray House College of Education.

Redpath’s exhibiting career began in 1919 when she showed with the Edinburgh Group, before her marriage to the architect James Beattie the following year.

The couple lived in France between 1920 and 1934, where their three sons were born. Redpath later declared ‘Young women often come up to me and say ‘I’m going to be like you and give up everything for painting’ – but that’s not how I see it at all. I could never have sacrificed my family to my painting and I don’t think anyone else should either. We lived in France…[for] fifteen years and I put everything I had into house and furniture and dresses and good food and people. All that’s the same as painting really, and the experience went back into art when I began painting again.’

In 1934 Redpath returned to Scotland with her children and resumed painting in earnest. Her career developed apace during the 1940s. She became renowned for her joyously coloured still-lifes which revealed not only her pleasure in objects and the decoration of her home, but also her technical prowess in the handling of oil paint. A move from Hawick to Edinburgh in 1949 secured her place within the Scottish art world professionally and personally, as she became a popular hostess in her eventual New Town apartment. Regular foreign travel provided stimulating subject matter, resulting not least in interiors and landscapes which were admired in frequent solo and group exhibitions in Scotland, England and beyond.

Redpath’s achievements were many and varied. For example, she was the first female painter to be elected a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy and was the first Scottish woman to be elected an Associate member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Her dedication to her practice was such that she learnt to paint with her left-hand whilst recovering from a coronary thrombosis. Redpath’s death in Edinburgh in 1965 was marked by a memorial exhibition organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain, which toured throughout Scotland.

may be Italian faience or tin glazed pottery and was the kind of object which Redpath liked to collect, particularly whilst travelling in Europe. In a sophisticated manipulation of viewpoint, we are able to look down on this part of the composition, at the same time as straight towards the flower arrangement. The whole is set before a lively textured background on which the still life elements appear almost to float.

Redpath’s pleasure in using oil paint is clear in these passages, applied in layered expanses by way of generous and gestural brushstrokes. The result is an assured image of beauty and balance.

The centenary of the birth of Joan Eardley (1921-63) has been celebrated throughout 2021. Born in Sussex to a Scottish mother, Eardley trained in Scotland and lived there for her adult life; as a result she is claimed as one of the leading Scottish artists of the twentieth-century.

Eardley studied at the Glasgow School of Art and at Hospitalfield College of Art, Arbroath. She rented her first studio in Townhead, Glasgow in 1952. The area, of mixed residential and light industrial use, was overcrowded and dilapidated. However, she was drawn to its vibrancy and closeknit community. She was a regular sight in the streets, sketching buildings, people and scenes

of daily life in chalks and pastels, which she then worked up into paintings in the studio.

In 1952 Eardley visited the fishing village of Catterline, on the north-east coast of Scotland, for the first time. It became a new stimulus where she could depict the immensities of nature in the open air, painting and sketching ‘on the spot’ in all seasons and weathers. She bought a cottage there in 1955, divided her time between Catterline and Glasgow and became an affectionately regarded member of the village community.

Eardley’s work was included in regular group exhibitions and was purchased for public collections throughout her career, beginning with an acquisition for Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum in 1952. Solo exhibitions in London and Edinburgh were met with increasing enthusiasm, concluding with her triumphant presentation at Roland, Browse & Delbanco in the English capital in 1963.

This was also the year of her election to the Royal Scottish Academy and was followed shortly afterwards by her death, due to cancer, aged forty-two.

At the opening of the resultant memorial exhibition, Eardley’s former tutor Hugh Adam Crawford

143

Eardley is renowned for her portrayal of children, particularly those who lived in the Townhead district of Glasgow, where she had a studio from 1952.

In a taped interview of the early 1960s, Eardley explained ‘Some children I don’t like...most of them I get on with...some interest me much more as characters...these ones I encourage...they come up and say “will you paint me?” There are always knocks at the door - the ones I want - I try to get them to stand still - it’s not possible to get a child to stay still...I watch them moving about and do the best I can...They just let out all their life and energy...and I just watch them and I do try and think about them in painterly terms...all the bits of red and bits of colour.’ (Tape recording in the Joan Eardley Archive, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh GMA A09)

In The Red Dress, Eardley has captured her sitter in a brief moment of repose and reflection. Viewed in profile, the girl’s facial features are realised in the most detailed passage of the work. Her hair is sketched in with broad strokes of pastel, whilst the dress of the title is suggested in raw areas of bright red which hint at underlying form. The speed with which the image was created is clear in its directness and gestural technique, before the model was once more on the move.

JOAN EARDLEY R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1921-1963) CANAL BANK Signed, oil on board 9cm x 20cm (5in x 8in) Provenance: T & R Annan, Glasgow

£8,000-12,000

A letter attached to the verso from William Buchanan, Exhibitions Officer, Arts Council of Great Britain, Scottish Committee states that Mr Annan had sent the following note concerning the painting: ‘Miss Anderson’s picture, along with another, was bought by me direct from the artist for cash on the 16th April 1948. The transaction took place in the Glasgow School of Art: and I was led to understand that it was her first sale’.

There is a further inscription on the backboard from J. Anderson stating that: ‘The artist told me in this house that this picture was her first sale and that she had not known where it had gone’

Eardley studied at the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) during various periods between 1940 and 1948. Amongst her teachers were Hugh Adam Crawford, J. (Jessie) Alix Dick and George Houston. In 1943 she won the Sir James Guthrie prize for her diploma self-portrait, now in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland. Following time spent in London and at Hospitalfield College of Art, Arbroath, Eardley undertook post-diploma studies at GSA and was awarded a travelling scholarship. This, combined with one from the Royal Scottish Academy, made possible an extended stay in France and Italy from 1948 to 1949. On her return, Eardley established herself in a studio in Glasgow and staged a solo exhibition at her alma mater.

Canal Bank dates from this exciting period as Eardley emerged as an artist of tremendous promise, which she was to fulfill over the following fourteen years which remained of her life. Created on an intimate scale and in the horizontal format favoured in her early Catterline works, a clear graphic structure is realised in thick paint; Eardley’s enjoyment of her medium and the view before her are palpable.

JOAN EARDLEY R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1921-1963) HAYSTACK AND FARM GATE, DUSK Oil on board 18cm x 30.5cm (7in x 12in)

£15,000-20,000

Eardley had a solo exhibition at the Gaumont Cinema in Aberdeen in 1951. It was organised by the cinema’s manager, Reg Miller and local art teacher Annette Soper. It was thanks to the latter that soon afterwards Eardley visited the nearby fishing village of Catterline for the first time, which was to have a tremendous impact on her life and work. She returned in 1952 and rented a cottage there from about 1954.

Haystack and Farm Gate, Dusk is an intimate yet powerful work.

It was probably painted in the hinterlands of Catterline but may have been made near Eardley’s friend Audrey Walker’s cottage in Caverslee in the Scottish Borders. Eardley found endless inspiration in the cycle of day into night, the seasons and the agricultural calendar as experienced in the countryside and captured in her work, which she executed en plein air. In this instance a view over a field to a haystack - or possibly the gable end of a house - caught her attention. The bottom right passage is suggestive of grazing sheep. The low horizon allows the foreboding sky equal presence in the composition. It was painted with vigour on board, which is left bare in some areas, increasing its sense of spontaneity. Certain passages verge on the abstract, whilst the surface is sensuous, with the result that a modest scene is transformed into a compelling image.

Just as she did in Glasgow, Eardley worked voraciously whilst in Catterline. As seen in Dark Field and Sun, she created dynamic, direct responses to her natural surroundings. Executed in watercolour and gouache, particular attention is paid to the seed heads in the foreground, which gives way via mid-ground vegetation to a speedily-executed summary of the sky above.

According to Patrick Elliott, some of Eardley’s works on paper were concieved as finished pictures, others as more experimental preparatory studies, whilst both types were integral to her creative process (see Patrick Elliott, Joan Eardley: Land and Sea - A Life in Catterline, Edinburgh 2021, pp.91-92). After a period of ill-health

towards the end of her life, Eardley explained ‘I found myself so much in need of drawings, to let me feel some contact with my subjects and my work when I was unable to get around last winter - that I swore I would not sell any for a long time, once I had managed to do some more.’ (quoted by Patrick Elliott, op.cit., p. 92).

Following her death in 1963, Dark Field and Sun was included in the memorial exhibition organised by the Scottish committee of the Arts Council of Great Britian.

It opened at Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow in 1964 and toured to the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh.

Note: With the Studio Inventory No. ED1322 The title of this work derives from the name of a pivot for suspending a pot over a fire. Eardley painted a number of interiors of modest domestic settings, which offer a glimpse into midcentury Scottish life. The hearth and its fire was the focal point of most homes, the source of warmth and where cooking was conducted. Eardley’s detailed image is neither sentimental nor patronising as she found beauty in the everyday.

an increasingly inactive reference point, unless that point was to consciously subvert it. What makes Gerald Laing so fascinating is the fact that he chose to gravitate back towards sculpture’s formal roots, completely against the grain of his peers and indeed the general trajectory of Modern art.

Originally heavily involved at ground zero of the UK and America’s Pop Art scene, Laing made an extraordinary pivot away from the radically minimalist and abstracted forms of his early career and, from the 1970s onwards, saw out his remaining decades as a master figurative sculptor in the classical manner.

This move away from the hegemony and narrow definitions of ‘the avant-garde’, a radical action in itself, had been a huge risk.

Gradually, however, his career went from strength to strength and the commissions - public and private - rolled in, with no project seemingly too ambitious in scale or design.

The work offered here for sale was conceived in 1987 and cast in the New York studio Laing maintained alongside Kinkell. An edition of only 10, the piece is conceived as a garden statue and water fountain.

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. O UR 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. (a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website

21.2

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. (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. (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 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. (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. (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.

made. 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.

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

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. Please see D.2(e) for the conditions to be fulfilled before the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be cancelled or refunded upon exporting from the UK. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium 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 UK and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (‡): A reduced rate of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the UK. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of 20% of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the UK and do not fall within the reduced rate category. (d) Lots affixed with [Ω] or ‡ when these lots are released to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay us Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. the import VAT at the rates noted above on the hammer price. The buyer should also note that the appropriate rate will be that in force on the date of our release and not that in force at the date of auction or payment. (e) Export from the UK: For lots

offered under the VAT Margin Scheme and lots with [Ω] or ‡ symbols attached; you may be eligible to have a VAT refund in certain circumstances if the lot is exported. Should you show us proof of export within three months of collection a VAT refund may be arranged. No VAT amounts will be refunded where the total refund is under £100. Bank/transfer charges relating to any refund will be borne by the buyer and will not be reimbursed.

Please also note that all customs formalities of the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer.

3. A RTIST’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.

The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement

174 by law, are excluded.

2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the Catalogue description of the Lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below.

In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser.

This Guarantee does not apply if: (a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or (c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the Lot must: (a) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the Lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be

bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.

3. YOUR WARRANTIES (a) You warrant that the funds used for settlement are not connected with any criminal activities, including tax evasion and You are neither; under investigation, have been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes. (b) Where You are bidding on behalf of another person You warrant that: (i) You have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate Buyer(s) of the Lot(s) in accordance with all relevant anti-money laundering legislation, consent to us relying on this due diligence, and You will retain for a period of not less than five years the documentation evidencing the due diligence. You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer(s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and; (iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of money-laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. PAYMENT 1. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Within 7 days of a Lot being sold You will pay to us the Total Amount Due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000 per Buyer per year. (b) Any payments by You to us can be applied by us towards any sums owing

by You to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by You or Your agent, whether express or implied. (c) We will only accept payment from the registered Bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the Buyer’s name on an invoice or re-issue the invoice in a different name.

(f) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.
