Farbabb.Die Darstellung einer jungen Frau vor einer Balustrade erweist sich erst auf den zweiten Blick als Vanitasbild. Es scheint, dass sie um ihre (vorübergehende) Schönheit und ihren möglichen Tod besorgt ist, wie die abgefallenen Blütenblätter der verwelkten Tulpe andeuten. Das bezaubernde Bildnis ist ein charakteristisches Werk von Jan van Mieris, dem Sohn des berühmten Leidener Feinmalers Frans van Mieris dem Älteren. Der Einfluss des Vaters erschließt sich auch in der Wahl der Thematik. Dessen „weinende Frau“ in der Sammlung Bute zeigt ebenfalls eine Frau vor einer Balustrade mit einer Rose, die bald verwelken wird (siehe O. Naumann, Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635-1681), Doornspijk 1981, II, Kat. Nr. 115). Als sein Vater 1681 starb, übernahmen Jan und sein jüngerer Bruder Willem die Familienwerkstatt. Zweifellos waren dort beide Brüder zum Zeitpunkt des Todes ihres Vaters bereits als Lehrlinge beschäftigt. Jan starb im Alter von nur dreißig Jahren in Rom. In seiner Heimatstadt Leiden schuf er ein kleines, aber stilistisch zusammenhängendes Œuvre, das größtenteils den Gemälden seines berühmten Vaters verpflichtet war.
Royal Navy Interest.A Victorian silver and enamel calling card vesta case, of rectangular form, with applied enamel plaque of a calling card, 'Commander Maurice A. Bourke, R. N. / H. M. S. Surprise', with integral striker and hinged cover, Sampson Mordan, London 1889, length 5.7cm, weight 40g/1.28ozt gross approxCatalogue Notes: "Bourke was a naval officer who commanded HMS Surprise, for Prince Alfred, later Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in the 1880s. During this time, he was romantically linked to Princess Victoria of Prussia (1866-1929). In 1893, he was in command of HMS Camperdown which collided with HMS Victoria, near Tripoli, northern Lebanon, while on exercise with torpedoes and mines. It caused the ship to run aground and sank within 10 minutes and all 358 crew were killed. There was a court-martial but Bourke was cleared of any blame. HMS Victoria is said to be the world's only vertical shipwreck and is now a historic monument, protected in law."

Giovanni Antonio Canal, genannt „Canaletto“, 1697 Venedig – 1768 ebenda, Nachfolge desCAPRICCIO EINER PALASTLOGGIA MIT FIGURENSTAFFAGEÖl auf Leinwand.132,2 x 93,5 cm.In vergoldetem Prunkrahmen.Bei dem Gemälde handelt es sich nicht eigentlich um ein „Capriccio“, dazu ist das Gesamtgegenständliche zu entschieden realistisch, die architektonischen Einzelheiten zu detailgenau gezeigt, wie wir dies eben bei Werken Canalettos kennen. Dennoch ist hier möglicherweise eine Fantasiearchitektur ins Bild gesetzt, die vom Innern einer hohen, von Säulen getragenen Loggia mit Blick auf eine Parkmauer in ungewöhnlicher Weise auch die Raumdecke der Loggia in einem Halbbogen offen zeigt. Solche fantastischen Architekturideen sind uns von Stichen des Piranesi geläufig. Der Wechsel von Schatten im Raum und hellem, im Sonnenlicht stehendem Gebäude verleiht dem Gemälde eine attraktive Spannung. Man scheint die südlich-sommerliche Temperatur zu spüren, bei der die Staffagefiguren sich sämtlich im Schatten aufhalten. Höchst originell hierbei die Personen auf der oberen Emporenbalustrade, von der ein großes Velum herabhängt, wie ebenso der schräg im unteren Raum hängende ovale Goldrahmen oder die extrem lang herunterhängende Laterne links im Bild. Die Darstellung ist weitgehend identisch mit einem 1765 geschaffenen Werk Canalettos, mit Museumsbetitelung „Colonnade Opening onto the Courtyard of a Palace“ im Cannon Hall Museum, bei Barnsley in South Yorkshire (56 x 42 cm.)Eine weitere Version („Perspektive mit Porticus“) in kleineren Abmessungen (42 x 32,5) befindet sich in der Sammlung Carmen Thyssen Nationalmuseum Thyssen-Bornemisza, Inv.Nr. CTB 1981.39, dort mit variierenden Einzelheiten einer ausführlicher geschilderten Staffage, mit einem Bettler, einem Mann mit Kind sowie Hühnern in der Loggia, die Parkmauer ist anders dargestellt, anstelle der Vase mit Figuren bekrönt. Ferner ist eine weitere Darstellung bei Stephen Ongpi Fine Art bekannt geworden, ausgeführt in Gouache und Feder, mit Aufschrift „Anto. Canale“, in den Abmessungen 36,4 x 28,7 cm, erstmals 1919 im Petit Palais, Paris, ehem. Slg. Luigi Albertini, Rom, zusammen mit dem dazugehörigen Ölbild ausgestellt. Canaletto, in Europa längst bekannt, wurde am 11. September 1763 in die 1750 gegründete venezianische Akademie aufgenommen, und hatte dazu ein Musterbeispiel seines Könnens einzureichen, das sich heute in der Galleria dell´Accademia in Venedig befindet. Das Bildthema, von dem mehrere Versionen existieren, dessen Darstellung auch Giovanni Antonio Guardi (1698/99-1760) zu einem seiner Bilder inspiriert hat, ist 1765, also in der nämlichen Zeit entstanden, in der Canaletto sich erneut wieder Gegenständen seiner Heimatstadt zuwandte. So reiht sich das vorliegende Gemälde in die bereits bekannten Versionen ein, zum Teil auch von der Werkstatt geschaffen, die weitgehend Detailunterschiede erkennen lassen.Literatur: Vgl.

(1370321) (11)Giovanni Antonio Canal, also known as “Canaletto”,1697 Venice – 1768 ibid., follower ofCAPRICCIO OF A PALACE LOGGIA WITH FIGURE STAFFAGE Oil on canvas. 132.2 x 93.5 cm.The painting is not actually a “capriccio” as the overall objective is too decidedly realistic for that, and the architectural details are shown with too much detail, as is typical of Canaletto´s works. Nevertheless, an imaginary architecture is possibly depicted here. From the inside of a high loggia supported by columns with a view of a park wall, it also shows the open ceiling of the loggia in a semi-arch in an unusual way. Such fantastic architectural ideas are familiar from engravings by Piranesi. The alternation of shadows in the room and a bright building standing in the sunlight gives the painting an attractive tension. One appears to feel the southern summer temperature, in which the staffage figures are all in the shade. The people on the upper gallery balustrade, from which a large veil is hanging, are highly original, as is the oval gold frame hanging diagonally in the lower room or the extremely long hanging lantern on the left of the painting. The depiction is largely identical to a work by Canaletto from 1765, titled Colonnade Opening onto the Courtyard of a Palace in Cannon Hall Museum, South Yorkshire (Part of Barnsley Museums, 56 x 42 cm). Another version (Perspective with Porticus) with smaller dimensions (42 x 32.5) is held at the Carmen Thyssen Collection (Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, inv. no. CTB 1981.39), there with varying details of a more detailed figure staffage including a beggar, a man with a child and chickens in the loggia. The park wall is also depicted differently, surmounted by figures instead of a vase. Another illustration by Stephen Ongpin, Fine Art, is known, executed in gouache and pen, with the inscription “Anto. Canale” (36.4 x 28.7 cm), exhibited for the first time in 1919 in the Petit Palais, Paris, formerly Coll. Luigi Albertini, Rome, together with the accompanying oil painting. Canaletto, long known in Europe, was admitted to the Venetian Academy founded in 1750 on 11 September 1763, and he had to submit a model example of his skills, which is now held at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice. The subject of the painting, of which there are several versions and whose depiction also inspired Guardi to create one of his paintings, was created in 1765, i.e. at the same time that Canaletto was again turning to subjects from his hometown. Thus, the present painting aligns with the already known versions, in part also created by the workshop, which largely show differences in detail.

GUILLEBOT, BORDEAUX, LATE 19th CENTURYThe timepiece with circular eight-day movement with platform cylinder escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance vertically planted on the backplate stamped V.R., BREVETE PARIS over serial number 2524, the 2.25 inch circular dial with gilt centre inscribed F. GUILLEBOT, 52 COURS DE L'INTENDANCE, BORDEAUX within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with blued steel spade hands set behind hinged cast gilt brass bevel-glazed bezel with canted insert to interior, mounted within a nickel-plated cylinder in a cruciform arrangement with a pair of conforming curved mercury tube CENTIGRADE and REAUMUR scale thermometers to the sides and a BAROMETRE ANEROIDE to rear, similarly signed for the retailer's to centre within silvered scale calibrated in mm hg 690-800 numbered for every ten and with the usual observations in French, with blued steel pointer and recording hand to glass matching those for the paired thermometers, the nickel-finish cylinder assembly forming the lantern of the lighthouse capped with a gilt cupola engraved with brick courses and with finely executed weather-vane, slowly revolving via a separate going-barrel driven movement set within the base of the lighthouse structure, the tower formed as a tapered column with gilt balustrade gallery supported on corbels over brick-coarse engraved shaft applied with staggered gilt arched windows, over moulded foot incorporating hinged door to reveal the winding square for the automaton movement, on rounded circular base set on a Belge noir marble plinth.62cm (24.5ins) high, 23cm (9ins) diameter at the base. Andre Romain Guilmet was born on the 10th of December 1827 in La Ferte-Gaucher, France. He was a credited as a watchmaker and inventor who specialised in producing novelty and mystery clocks for which he applied for a number of patents for designs. Amongst his other Patents was that for a bicycle where the driving chain was set below the seat. He is best known for his 'mysterieuse' figural clock with glass pendulum, this takes the form of a woman holding pendulum in her outstretched hand and arm over a marble base containing the clock below. The pendulum is impulsed by the mechanism underneath her that moves the figure imperceptibly from side to side. Guilmet's industrial series of clocks, which includes the current lot, features automated clocks in the form of windmills, lighthouses, automobiles, boats, steam hammers, boilers, etc.The present lot possibly belongs to Guilmet's 'marine series' and would appear to be a particularly rare larger variant of his lighthouse timepiece, with the other smaller variant having small exposed vertical tube thermometers to the sides of the lantern (rather than the glazed dials of the current timepiece). Condition Report: Clock movement is reasonably clean and is in working condition however a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long term service. The barometer responds to change in pressure (has been 'bag tested') hence is also in working condition. Both thermometers are intact and in working condition. All four dials are in good original condition but with some slight mellowing to the gilt and silvered finishes. The bezels (rings bordering the dial glasses) have wear/rubbing to the gilt finishes and the nickel-plated finish to the lantern section has some noticeable patchy degradation/spotting to the surface. The rest of the case is in very good condition with good strong gilding exhibiting minimal wear/oxidation and the dark patination with only a few minor age-related scratches mostly near the winding hole for the rotating mechanism; the rotating mechanism/movement is in working order. The block marble plinth has one noticeable shallow edge chip and a couple of smaller ones that can only be detected on closer examination.AMMENDMENT 09/09/2024 - the rotation mechanism driving the 'lantern' section of the lighthouse is a little lazy in its action and prone to stopping hence probably requires a service.Timepiece is complete with two winding keys.
