The present work appears to be more a study in costume and hairstyle than a portrait of a particular individual. Guercino’s works of this type are always, it seems, head and shoulders or half-length, never, as far as Nicholas Turner is aware, full-length. A work similar in conception can be found in the British Museum (inv. 1952-1-21-43, see fig. 1), which Turner dates to approximately ten years earlier than The head and shoulders of a lady, in profile to the left. On a stylistic basis, the latter drawing most probably dates to the 1640s. Despite the difference in date, the arrangement of the figure is very similar - she is fully in profile with her hair held back in a band, although some locks fig.1 Guercino, A woman in profile to left, fall freely around her face and she wears a tight fitting bodice with the half-length, British Museum, London loose, full sleeves of her chemise covering her shoulders.
Whilst no engraving exists for The head and shoulders of a lady, in profile to the left, the isolation and detachment of the figure on the sheet is similar to some of those in the group of drawings engraved by the latter work however, the figure has a tighter hair style and a more Domenico Maria Bonaveri (Bologna 1653-after 1719) after the painter’s richly decorated costume. death (as was the case with lot 2 in this sale, Nude Infant, kneeling on the ground, releasing a bird).

£7,000 - 10,000 €8,600 - 12,000 US$12,000 - 17,000
Provenance Paul Wallraf, by whom given to the present owner
The present drawing is most likely to be the first idea for the fresco of Charity (La Carità) in one of the spandrels of the church of Corpus Domini in Bologna, then changed in the final design. The painting was published in the monograph by D.C. Miller, Marcantonio Franceschini, Turin, 2001, p. 140, fig. 38c. This church was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943. There is also a group of four drawings at Princeton (ibid, pp. 141-142, nos. 38e-h) which are close stylistically, as well as a number of other drawings which use this rather beautiful, thick wash, (see for example ibid, p. 145 no. 40b, which is in the Cooper Hewitt Museum).
We would like to thank Professor Biagi-Maino for suggesting the connection with the fresco on the basis of a photograph, and Milena Naldi for confirming the attribution also on the basis of a photograph.

£25,000 - 35,000 €31,000 - 43,000 US$42,000 - 59,000
Provenance Purchased directly from the artist in 1769 by General Ivan Ivanovitch disappointed him. The Empress Catherine II greatly admired Greuze’s Betzkoy (1704-1792), President of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, work but was dissuaded by Diderot from inviting the painter to Saint Petersburg Russia, on the grounds that Greuze’s wife, known for her scandalous By whom presented to the Imperial Academy, along with 223 other behaviour, was such a trouble maker that she would probably end up drawings by Greuze being banished to Siberia (their marriage was dissolved very shortly Transferred to the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, 1924 after the legalisation of divorce in 1793).

Greuze, as was the case with many of the drawings in the group of Clothed figures done in red chalk by the artist previously in the State Hermitage Museum. Munhall suggests a date of the 1760s during which time the artist regularly executed drawings of the picturesque itinerant Savoyard children, a subject popular in France throughout the 18th Century. Other examples of this subject and date by the artist are the signed Departure of a young Savoyard now in the Amsterdam Historisch Museum and The Education of a young Savoyard in the Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna (see fig.1). One of the Savoyards’ popular entertainments was the peep-show box as depicted here. Spectators were able to view images of battles and far-off cities or theatrical performances through a lens in the side of the box.
The acquisition of this and the other drawings by Greuze by General Betzkoy came at a pivotal moment in the artist’s career. Following his return from Italy in 1757, Greuze had achieved great public success in Paris, exhibiting a total of sixty-three works in the four Salons between 1759 and 1765. However, the Académie’s rejection of his Septimius Severus and Caracalla along with their acceptance of him as a genre painter and not a history painter, as he had hoped, must have © Albertina, Vienna fig. 1 Jean Baptiste Greuze-The Education of a young Savoyard

Dominated by the presence of Vesuvius in the background, the latter The Temple of Isis, shown in the second gouache, was first excavated gouache depicts the royal palace of Portici on the Southern side of in 1764 and its discovery sparked enormous interest from artists and Naples. The viewpoint taken is the same as Giovanni Battista Lusieri grand tourists, becoming one of the more popular subjects depicted (1755-1821) used in his view of Portici, most probably executed for by visitors to Pompeii. Queen Maria Carolina as a gift for her sister Maria Christina of Austria in 1784 (private collection, Turin). The only differences between the two One of the best known figures in the very popular medium of gouache works are found in the figures of the foreground. It is interesting to note painting in Naples in the 18th century, Saverio della Gatta, worked that two years later, the year after the present work, Lusieri requested both for the court and for visiting tourists. In 1782 he was appointed, permission to engrave and publish the twelve views he had painted for along with Alessandro d’Anna (see following lot) by King Ferdinand IV the queen and also to ask for copyright protection preventing anyone to produce a group of paintings illustrating the various costumes of else in the kingdom from plagiarising them for twelve years. the realm. He continued working for the court throughout his career and amongst his most significant works are his series of pictures describing the turbulent political events of 1799 and the restoration of the Bourbon kings (see for example Veduta del Palazzo Reale, nel momento che vien tagliato l’albero della Libertà e la truppa in massa diretta dagli Inglesi, sold in these rooms on 27 November 1991, lot 41, for £68,000).

£15,000 - 20,000 €18,000 - 25,000 US$25,000 - 33,000
18 | Bonhams One of the first records of Alessandro d’Anna’s activity as an artist is in the 1779 publication of Gaetano De Bottis’s Ragionamento Istorico intorno all’eruzione del Vesuvio che comincio’ il 29 luglio dell’anno 1779 e continuo’ fino al giorno 15 del seguente mese di agosto, in which the text is accompanied by engravings by various artists including two views of the erupting Vesuvius by D’Anna. Like many painters in Naples at this time, he painted both topographical views of Naples and images of popular life in and around the city and the present group of gouaches are excellent examples of the latter. In December 1782 Ferdinando IV of Naples commissioned both D’Anna and Saverio Della Gatta (Naples 1777-1829) to make a systematic study of the costumes of the various provinces of the realm to be used eventually by the porcelain factory at Capodimonte.

Johan Philip fig. 1) and amassed a picture collection in Italy for which James Gibbs Lansberge (1561–1632) was a Dutch Calvinist minister, astronomer designed the remarkable picture gallery in 1724 which stretched some and mathematician. He is best known as the author of a set of one hundred and eighty feet. Nikolaus Pevsner described the east astronomical tables, Tabulae motuum coelestium perpetuæ, for range ‘of a palatial splendour uncommon in England’. Originally known predicting planetary positions. He was thus the first Dutch author who as Stainborough Castle, Wentworth changed the name to Wentworth wrote a popular book about the movements of the planets around Castle on its completion in 1731.

Of several versions of the original three-quarter-length portrait fig. 1 Wentworth Castle, Yorkshire attributed to Steven van der Meulen the present portrait comes closest to the best known of these, which is in a private collection, England, formerly in the collection of the Earl of Westmorland. His costume differs, however, both in the collar and in the chains holding the badge of the Order of the Garter (or Lesser George). Further variants of this portrait attributed to van der Meulen are in the Paul Mellon Collection and at Waddesdon (in which the sitter is dressed in white).
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (circa 1532-1588), was Elizabeth I’s only serious English suitor after she became queen and (unlike the treacherous Earl of Essex) remained her favourite throughout his life. He was also described by a contemporary as ‘a light and greedy man’. Those of his portraits which survive reflect his political importance and preoccupation with his own image. He was Master of the Horse (from 1558) and was renowned for his horsemanship. The jewel in his hat refers to this talent as it depicts the Roman hero, Marcus Curtius on horseback. Leicester also proudly wears the Garter George jewel. While Leicester’s personal tastes were no more extravagant than some of his fellow noblemen, the Queen expected her ‘honorary consort’ to dress magnificently. Thus, when the Earl celebrated the Feast of the Order of Saint Michael at Warwick in 1571, the onlookers were duly impressed: ‘And then came my said Lord the Earl of Leicester by himself, apparelled all in white, his shoes of velvet, his stocks of hose knit silk, his upper stocks of white velvet lined with cloth of silver, his doublet of silver, his jerkin white velvet drawn with silver, beautified with gold and precious stones, his girdle and scabbard white velvet, his robe white satin embroidered with gold a foot broad, very curiously, his cap black velvet with a white feather, his collar of gold beset with precious stones, and his garter about his leg of St. George’s order, a sight worthy the beholding.’

These two paintings depict moments on the journey of Pope Innocent XII to Nettuno between 22 and 24 April 1697 in celebration of his commission to Carlo Fontana to begin reconstruction of a new port at Anzio. The noble families of Rome such as the Colonna, Borghesi, Pamphilj and Costaguti all had villas in the area where they entertained and received him on his progress.
The former painting depicts the Pope’s arrival at Nettuno. On the left one can see the Castello Sangallo and on the far right the Palazzo Pamphilj where the Pope slept on the nights of 22 and 23 April. From here he set out for Anzio, depicted in the painting, and the Villa Costaguti (now Borghese) which he then visited that and the following day. He is seen amongst the ruins of the port and with the Villa Costaguti on the hill above.
Christian Reder, called Monsù Leandro, (1656-1729) painted two large works depicting the Pope’s visit to Carroceto on his journey to Nettuno – both in private collections (see J. di Schino, Viaggio di Papa Innocento XII da Roma a Nettuno l’anno 1697, Rome, 2001, ill. p. 24 and p. 26).

More than 60 works related to weather is more turbulent, in fact more reminiscent of the climate in Brighton are recorded from this year alone. the Brighton drawings of 1828 produced at a time when Maria’s health was rapidly declining. The composition of A Sea Beach - Brighton is familiar to us from the mezzotint produced by David Lucas in 1830 for Various Subjects of Landscape, characteristic of English Scenery from Pictures Painted by John Constable RA (see fig.1). The spirited small oil sketch in the Detroit Institute of Fine Arts is considered to be the picture on which the mezzotint is based (see fig. 2). The Detroit picture has all the hallmarks of a plein air sketch: violent pencil underdrawing and swift application of the paint to the paper.

This picture has been requested as a loan for an exhibition Constable Leslie, Constable says that Edward Carey of Philadelphia, a relative in Brighton, in the Brighton museum, scheduled for March-October of Leslie’s brother-in-law wanted him to ‘send him a picture which I 2017. have not got nor ever have. But through the kindness of your sister he has seen the book (English Landscape Scenery) and has taken a liking to The Sea Beach – thinking, no doubt, that it was done from something more than the sketch’. Graham Reynolds took this to mean that all other versions, other than the Detroit one, of the subject were spurious, but it could be that Carey’s interest in the mezzotint inspired Constable to produce a more elaborate version of the subject after 1835, or that he simply did not consider such a free and spirited large sketch as A Sea Beach - Brighton which could have already been in his studio since the Arrowsmith commission to be an appropriate purchase.

The Milntown Collection was put together over three decades by Sir John Clive Leighton Edwards, 2nd Baronet of Treforis (1916 - 1999) and his mother Lady Kathleen Edwards (died 1975).
Sir Clive was the son of Sir John Bryn Edwards (1889 – 1922), a Welsh ironmaster and philanthropist who was created a Baronet in 1921 as a result of his involvement in the tin plate industry in Swansea during World War 1. At the age of 6 Sir Clive became the youngest Baronet in Britain. He had a life long interest in motor sport and raced at Brooklands during the years following the Second World War.
In 1963 Lady Edwards bought the historic Milntown Estate and moved there with Sir Clive and his long term friend, Bob Thomas. Sir Clive and Bob set about restoring the house, originally the family seat of a well known Manx family, the Christians, and more latterly a former school and hotel. They continued to build up a collection of vintage cars and motorcycles, together with a large number of silver miniatures (sold in these rooms 13 November 2013) and other works of art. Sir Clive inherited Milntown from his mother in 1975. Upon his death in 1999 he bequeathed the estate to the Milntown Trust to ensure that it would be kept and used for the benefit of the people of the Isle of Man.

The cassone was a piece of trophy furniture in mediaeval Italy which was given to the bride during her wedding by her parents. It was at the height of fashion in the late 15th century when a number of artists in Siena and Florence specialized in painting cassone panels. Often in the 19th century the cassone itself was discarded, the painted panel being regarded as an autonomous work of art by the 19th century. By the nature of their function the use of religious subjects was unusual and the range of subjects deemed suitable was usually taken from ancient history, such as the story of Scipio Africanus, based on Petrarch’s Africa, or from poems or novelle of recent Italian fiction.

Provenance Pablo Bosch Collection, Barcelona, 19th century Eduardo de Salas, Madrid With Rafael Valls Ltd., London Private Collection, U.S.A
This magnificent canvas is most unusual in the oeuvre of Godfried Schalcken: not only in that it is life-size, but also in that it is based on the work of another artist - in this case, Sir Anthony van Dyck. Schalcken arrived in London in 1692 and was quickly drawn into the English court circle, painting King William III on several occasions. The most telling of these portraits, in relation to our picture, is the candle-lit copy after Kneller, now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The 1690s was also a period when Schalcken painted three self-portraits by candlelight, of which those in the Uffizi and Leamington Spa use the same candle holder as in our picture.
The van Dyck of the Duke of Lennox, now at Kenwood, was painted around 1636 and by 2 September 1659, four years after the Duke’s death, was recorded in the inventory of Lady Leicester’s goods, presumably at Leicester House, where Schalcken must have seen it.
The greyhound, on whose shoulder the Duke’s hand rests, is traditionally said to have saved his master’s life. One version of this story is that this happened during a boar hunt, to which a spear in the background may be a reference; the other is that he woke his master from a deep sleep, as a would-be assassin approached.
The present lot will be published in Wayne Franits forthcoming book on the artist.

Most probably a pupil of Gerrit Dou in Leiden, the work of Brekelenkam reveals the influence of the Leiden fijnschilders although he went on to develop his own quite distinctive style. His pictures are marked out by a delicate silvery tonality often with strong reds used in the costume. The present work is an excellent and typical example of Brekelenkam’s paintings of figures who are often alone and engaged in some kind of craft or domestic work, within interiors illuminated by a large window.

£30,000 - 50,000 €37,000 - 61,000 US$50,000 - 84,000
Francesco Zaganelli treated this subject on many occasions and the present Deposition perhaps comes closest to his small panel of The Magdalen and Joseph of Arimathea grieving the dead Christ in the Museo del Castelvecchio in Verona. The figure of the Magdalen in profile with locks of her hair falling around her face and the aging features of Joseph of Arimathea are comparable to those of the same figures in the current work. Furthermore, the head of the left hand angel in The dead Christ held by two angels previously in the Albani Torlonia collection, comes close to the head of the young Saint John the Evangelist in the present Deposition. Both of these paintings are considered early works by Francesco and on the basis of these comparisons, it is possible to suggest a date relatively early on in the painter’s career to the turn of the 15th century.
Zaganelli always worked closely with his brother, Bernardino, with whom he shared a bottega and whose only known independent work is the signed Saint Sebastian of 1506 now in the National Gallery, London. Francesco was an artist of considerable range and versatility assimilating the style of his contemporaries throughout the region such as Lorenzo Costa and Amico Aspertini. The brothers based themselves in Ravenna but commissions came in from all over the Romagna. In his entry for the artist, Vasari comments that Francesco was a very pleasing colourist and also notes that he was held in high regard by the people of Ravenna.

An autograph version of an earlier painting by Maratta, the present work shows a composition which was clearly popular. The earlier picture is known only through a studio copy by Maratta’s faithful pupil Giacinto Calandrucci (Palermo 1646-1707). The latter painting, which is now in the collection of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pesaro at Palazzo Montani Antaldi, is inscribed ‘Carlo Maratti’ and the date of ‘1656’ is carved into the balustrade, lower left, as is also the case with the present work. It is therefore assumed that Maratta’s missing original and prime version dates to 20 years earlier than this work. Numerous drawings exist, which have variously been attributed fig. 1 Giacinto Calandrucci, The Education of the Virgin, Rijksmuseum, to both Maratta and Calandrucci, such as that in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam Amsterdam (see fig. 1), which further attest to the popularity and importance of the present composition.
This subject is known to have been painted by Maratta on various occasions. ‘Un quadro misura di 3 palmi con cornice negra di pero rappresentante Sant’Anna, la Madonna che impara à leggere à S. Gioacchino, copia non finita viene da Sig. Carlo Maratti dato come sopra’ is found in the hereditary inventory of Francesca Gommi Maratti, wife of the artist (D. Bershad, The newly discovered testament and inventories of Carlo Maratti and his wife Francesca, in Antologia di Belle Arti, 25/26, 1985, p. 68). A further copy was in the collection of Cardinal Gioacchino Besozzi by 1755: ‘Altri due quadri per traverso, uno rappresentante...Sant’Anna colla Madonna Santissima, che legge, e riporti alle Cantonate in ovato dorato a vernice copia di Carlo Maratti’ (M. B. Guerrieri Borsoi, La collezione del cardinale Gioacchino Besozzi ereditata dalla chiesa di S. Croce in Gerusalemme a Roma, in Artisti e mecenati: dipinti, sculture, e carteggi nella Roma curiale, Studi sul Settecento Romano, 1996, pp. 59-96).

The present composition is the earliest portrait type of James I which dates from the beginning of his English reign. Although this type can be associated with John de Critz (the artist was paid for a full-length portrait of James in 1606 and a payment also exists in the Hatfield accounts for 1607 for a portrait of the King by him), the issue is confused in that Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger in 1611 and 1618, as well as a number of other artists were also producing portraits of James and using the same face pattern. The attribution of the many versions of this face pattern therefore remains to be conclusively settled. The present version has traditionally been given to Paul van Somer and the softer handling would tend to support such an attribution.
Van Somer arrived at the Court in London around 1616 where the King’s wife, Anne of Denmark became his most important patron. His work there was at first evolutionary and derivative of other portrait painters until 1618 when his portrait of the King (still in the Royal Collection) supplanted de Critz’s as the chosen image.
