Collection fit to take centre stage Portrait of Sarah Bernhardt was one of the stand-out lots in a 300-lot white-glove auction

by Alex Capon 2 3

Collections that auctioneers crave – high-quality and market-fresh consignments that come with low reserves – remain a boon to any saleroom even, or perhaps especially, during the pandemic. 4 The fact that more buyers are sitting at home, trawling the internet for interesting material, has increased the premium paid for the most desirable works, particularly where items are pitched in a way that makes bidders think they can secure a bargain. And this is something being felt not just in this country. ‘Exceptional taste’ The effect of such a consignment was witnessed at Parker Fine Art Auctions (25% buyer’s premium) on March 19 when a 300-lot group of works from a deceased estate helped the firm to its highest total for a sale since it was founded last year. The collection had been amassed mainly from leading dealers and one of the collectors bidding at the 1 sale described the previous owner as our estimates, we were taken aback In terms of subject matter, having “exceptional taste”. by the extraordinary level of interest depictions of elegant Parisian women The lots were sold as a separate 1.

Mould loves a fresh discovery Show focuses on how latest technology and techniques can reassess portraits and paintings

by Gabriel Berner

In 1990, dealer Philip Mould discovered a portrait of Henry VIII’s elder brother Prince Arthur hidden inside a larger panel being offered at Sotheby’s. He bought it, sold it – and with the proceeds purchased a house in Kensington. The painting, executed in 1499 as a tiny marriage portrait between the 15-year-old prince and his wife Katherine of Aragon, is the only recorded contemporary portrait of Arthur and now hangs in Hever Castle, Kent. Mould says the discovery was a pivotal moment and marked his shift towards early paintings. Thirty years on, the self-styled art sleuth has become one of the field’s best-known dealers, with a particular interest in portraits from the Tudor and Stuart period. Now, as London emerges from another lockdown, Philip Mould & Company has brought together a A selection of portraits for sale in Love’s Labour’s Found at Philip Mould & selection of Elizabethan and Jacobean Company, priced between £15,500 and £350,000. portraits for its latest exhibition and Above left: Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) by an unknown English artist, c.1558, oil on catalogue, Love’s Labour’s Found, which panel, 23 x 18in (59 x 44cm). runs until May 28 at the gallery in Pall Above right: King James VI & I (1566-1625) by an unknown artist, 1604, oil on canvas, Mall and online. 3ft 5in x 2ft 7in (1.03m x 79cm).
