INTRODUCTION Webb's sale last December of the collection of 19th Century paintings formed by the late Sir Ernest Davis of which the highlights were " Summer" by Sir William Reynolds Stephens , sold for $225 ,000 and " The Delphic Oracle " by John Godward sold for $87 ,000 , did not pass unnoticed by the London art market. This was for the good reason that both pictures set world record prices for works by the artists. With four prominent London dealers involved in the bidding , it was inevitable that the story should spread around the London art trade within days of the sale .

On December 17th the Antiques Trade Gazette , a weekly paper circulating throughout the British art and antique trade ran a story headed " London dealers slug it out to the delight of Kiwis ". While the two largest paintings in that sale were sold to London buyers , it was not unnoticed that the remainder of the Victorian paintings in the catalogue had stayed in New Zealand and that there had been strong local bidding for all the British pictures including " Summer" and " The Delphic Oracle ".

As a consequence , through a London contact, Webb 's were offered in March , a small collection of late 19th Century pictures and sculpture by English and French artists. This collection , compiled in recent years from the London salerooms , comprises some very fine examples of Salon painting at the turn of the century , and along with other excellent 19th Century paintings in the catalogue from the estate of the late Fred Ambler and the collection of Lion Breweries Ltd make this sale one of the largest and most varied ever to be offered in New Zealand.

DATES When known , dates are provided for European artists.

For New Zealand artists , refer Nineteenth Century New Zealand Artists by Una Platts , Avon 1979; and New Zealand Painting by Gordon Brown and Hamish Keith , Collins 1969.

Gerome made his salon debut at the early age of 23. He painted genre and classical subjects and his work became widely reproduced and imitated. In 1878 he became a Commander of the Legion of Honour. In the 1880's Gerome transferred his interest wholeheartedly to sculpture . " La Boule" is an especially fine and typical work by the artist from his last period.

62 Thomas Jones Barker 1815-1882 The Relief of Lucknow oil on canvas signed T. Jones Barker and dated 1859 105.5 x 183.5 cm

This historically important painting was made after drawings executed on the spot

by Egron Lundgren (1815-1875) and appears to have been a preliminary but fully developed study for a larger painting which was in the collection of the Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery until it was irreparably damaged during wartime storage. The Glasgow painting measured 108 x 190 inches and was acquired in 1875. It too was dated 1859. No photographs exist of the destroyed Glasgow painting.

The Swedish painter, Lundgren who was working in England where he was very popular with Queen Victoria, was commissioned by the London dealer Thomas Agnew, to travel to India to make

on the spot drawings of the scene at Lucknow. As Lundgren remained in India while his drawings were returned to England, it can be reasonably assumed that Agnew also commissioned Barker to make the painting from which he subsequently published an edition of large engravings. The subject represents the historical incident during the Indian Mutiny when Sir Colin Campbell , relieved the besieged forces at Lucknow led by General Sir Henry Havelock and Sir James Outram, November 17, 1857. The painting incorporates portraits of many of the officers and personages involved in the action. The three most important subjects included in the painting reading

and include the Red Gate , tombs of the King and Queen inside the Kaiserbagh , minarets of the City , The Chuter Manzil Palace , the Farhat Baksh , the river Goomty, the tower of the gateway to Motee Mahal , and the residency tower, where the European residents of Lucknow had been besieged'.

The engraving after the painting was made by C.G. Lewis and published by Thomas Agnew and Sons in 1860. A copy of the engraving is in the collection of the National Army Museum.

Collections: Sir Ernest Davis : Lion Breweries Limited

from left to right are , Sir Henry Havelock , Sir James Outram , Sir Colin Campbell (later Lord Clyde). Grouped around are a selection of the officers and men involved both in the forces that found themselves besieged and those that were with Sir Colin Campbell head of the relieving troops, and include Sir John Inglis, Sir David Baird , Sir Hope Grant , Sir W.R. Mansfield , Sir Robert Napier, The Hon .

Nicholas Chevalier Maori Girl in Canoe with Native Pah on Hillside oil on canvas signed and dated 1880 89 .5 x 150.5 cm This romantic treatment of a young Maori girl was evidently a very popular subject and the artist must have painted versions of it at least three times. A version , perhaps the first , from the Rix Nan Kivell Collection , now in the National Library of Australia pre-dates this painting by a year.

Allen Hutchinson 1855-1929 Te Arawa; Relief portrait of an old Maori man facing left: Te Arawa; Relief portrait of an old Maori man facing right.

Two plaster relief busts each signed and dated Jan. 1900 each 56 x 39 .5 cm, in oak frames.

Allen Hutchinson exhibited at the Royal Academy in the 1880's. He visited New Zealand in 1899 and in the words of Michael Dunn , 'armed with camera and a bucketful of clay, he set off for the King Country to make modelled studies of typical Maoris in youth , prime and old age. ' Dunn notes that Hutchinson ignored the " trimm ings" such as pendants and Moko , concentrating on head structure and racial features.

Captain Gerald Butler Beere

Ena B. Jeans

The following eight watercolours are by a previously unrecorded New Zealand soldier, surveyor and amateur painter, a cousin of Sir George Grey's, who came to New Zealand c.1863 and was commissioned in the Fourth Waikato Militia. Later he worked as engineer/surveyor on the main trunk line.

Beere 's Court, Hamilton is reputedly named after him and he is buried at O'Neils Point Cemetry, Takapuna , Auckland

The following watercolours are by a little known Dunedin artist Ena B. Jeans who was born at the end of the 19th century.

Her work was regularly exhibited before the last war. She was recently rediscovered by Dunedin dealer, Marshall Seifert , who arranged an exhibition of her work last year.

The nine watercolours are all from the artist's collection:
