Parris/ London._1838., gilt-mounted on a suedette slip impressed with a gilt-metal crown and monogram VR, gilt-wood frame . Rectangular, 179mm (7 1/16in) highProvenance:Bonhams London, 28 June 2012, lot 151;The Twinight CollectionFootnotes:As indicated by the inscription verso, the present lot derives from a portrait by Edmund Thomas Parris (British, 1793-1873). On her first state visit to the Drury Lane Theatre in November 1837, Parris made a preliminary sketch of the Queen from his seat in the orchestra. Understandably, this image of the young Queen was immensely popular and was reproduced by a number of artists. A version by the miniaturist Sarah Biffin was sold in these rooms, 19 November 2008, lot 167. Versions in oil exist in the Royal Collection and the Forbes Magazine Collection, New York. The portrait was also engraved by Charles Edward Wagstaff and published by Hodgson & Graves on 5 April 1838, giving it an even wider circulation. Perhaps due to the success of this portrait, later the same year, Parris was commissioned by Hodgson & Graves to portray the Queen's coronation. He received sittings from the Queen and all of the key figures who were scheduled to attend the ceremony. A print of this painting, also by Wagstaff was later published in 1842.The whereabouts of Parris' prototype are somewhat elusive. It has been suggested that the original work is possibly that which formerly belonged to Queen Mary, exhibited in Queen Mary's Art Treasures at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1954 (R. Ormond, Early Victorian Portraits, vol.I: Text, London, p.480).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Portrait Miniatures from the Collection of Queen Elizabeth II, London, 1996, p. 134Footnotes:Charles Boit, born in Stockholm to French parents, first trained as a goldsmith in his hometown before travelling to Paris to further his studies. He moved to London in 1687 where he benefitted from the protection of the Swedish portrait painter Michael Dahl. His 'very neat' work, as described by George Vertue, assured him patronage, the apogee of which was marked by his appointment as court enameller to King William III in 1696. Royal employment continued under Queen Anne, which included a commission to paint a large (40.5 x 61cm) commemorative enamel plaque celebrating the Battle of Blenheim. This highly ambitious project was abandoned due to a combination of technical, financial and political issues, ultimately forcing Boit to flee to France in 1714. In Paris he was able to re-establish his career, enjoying the patronage of the Regent, Philippe, Duc d'Orléans. In 1717 he was made an Agrée of the Académie Royale.A full-length portrait by Charles Boit of Queen Anne, depicted seated with her consort Prince George of Denmark standing to her right, is in the Royal Collection (RCIN 421497, signed and dated 1706).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A RARE ART NOUVEAU ENAMEL AND DIAMOND 'PANSY' RING, BY CHARLES RIVAUD, CIRCA 1900 The cushion-shaped diamond weighing approximately 2.20cts, within a raised petal mount, applied with blue enamel, to shoulders, set with rose-cut diamonds and blue enamel, mounted in 18K gold, signed CR for Charles Rivaud, French import mark, with maker’s original case stamped 'CH. Rivaud, 23, rue de Seine, Paris', ring size M A very similar model is reproduced in the book Paris Salons 1895 - 1914 - Joaillerie - II: les designers de L à Z by Alastair Duncan, with the mention Paris Salon 1904”. Charles Magloire Rivaud, an imaginative artist and skilled artisan, continues to captivate the jewellery world with his enduring legacy. Born on April 5, 1859, in the village of Boismorand, Loiret, France, Charles was destined for greatness in the realm of jewellery, inheriting a rich tradition spanning three generations. His journey began in Paris, where he discovered his passion and embarked on a transformative path in jewellery making. Rivaud delved into electroplating, pioneering techniques that would reshape the industry. His marriage later in life marked a significant turning point, merging his love for craftsmanship with a deep commitment to his beloved city. Establishing his workshop on the Quai de l'Horloge, Charles envisioned a space where creativity thrived, welcoming fellow artists and enthusiasts alike. Renowned for collaborating with esteemed sculptors such as Oscar Roty, Jean Dampt, and Victor Prouvé, Rivaud gained prominence as a publisher of meticulously sculpted medal-adorned brooches, notably the celebrated Broche du Souvenir in 1898. His partnership with Victor Prouvé was prominently featured at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, showcasing Prouvé's medal brooches—Aurore, Crépuscule, Gaule, le Bonheur—published by Rivaud. Amidst Parisian society, Charles remained steadfast in his pursuit of artisanal excellence. Collaborating with renowned sculptors and painters, he elevated his creations to unparalleled heights, captivating patrons, and critics alike. Through each meticulously crafted piece, Charles Rivaud breathed life into a world where tradition intersected with innovation, and beauty transcended the constraints of time. Among his remarkable creations, stands the iconic 'Centenary bracelet', a testament to his reverence for history and artistic genius. Crafted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, this masterpiece encapsulated the essence of a bygone era, immortalizing the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Adorned with intricate details and symbols of enlightenment, the Centenary bracelet remains a timeless symbol of Charles Rivaud's enduring legacy. His participation in the Universal Exhibition in Paris exhibited Rivaud's important contribution to Decorative Arts. From 1901 to 1913, his Salon contributions spanned a diverse array of jewellery, from iron rings in 1903 to a corsage plate depicting Rodin's Head of Saint John in 1912. Rivaud's mastery was symbolised by his unique mark— the letters CR accompanied by an electric battery—a testament to his ingenuity and legacy in the world of decorative arts. His legacy extended beyond craftsmanship; Rivaud was also the founder of the Société du Salon d'Automne and a member of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs. Charles Rivaud contributions were noted in several Salons between 1906 before his passing in 1923. His son, André-Charles, succeeded him in 1924, ensuring the continuation of Rivaud's esteemed legacy. Rivaud leaves behind a legacy of innovation and creativity that continues to inspire generations. His unwavering dedication to excellence and passion for the craft. Victorians cherished hidden meanings: this fascination reflected in jewellery craftsmanship. Flowers, rich in romantic symbolism, conveyed sentiments through the Language of Flowers. To Victorians, blooms embodied tender emotions like attachment and compassion. During the era, this floral vocabulary became a discreet form of communication, aligning with Victorian propriety. Amid the excess of floral symbols, the pansy held a special significance, symbolising think of me, derived from the French word pensée for thought. Literature including Shakespeare's Hamlet, abounds with references to pansies, hinting at their contemplative essence. In the floral language, pansies conveyed thoughts of the giver toward the recipient, often associated with platonic or unrequited love. The pansy's potent symbolism transcended into bespoke jewellery, adorned with exquisite enamel work, reinforcing its status as a cherished symbol of affection and contemplation.

Kunstsalon Emil Richter, 1911.Dorset County Museum, Dorchester & Southampton Art Gallery 18th Sept 1981-10 January 1982 no.3Provenance: The Artist's family, by descent.The artist refers to the painting of this portrait in his notebook at the time. 'Aug 08. Mrs Tisdall nee Gardiner sister of Hilda and Mrs Thompson...done at Charlesfort.....Had a delightful time there'.Born in London the son of a surgeon, George Spencer Watson trained as an artist at St. John's Wood and The Royal Academy Schools from 1889. Exhibiting at the RA from 1891, George Spencer Watson's best Edwardian portraits show a controlled aestheticism and display the influence of John Singer Sargent.Although his earlier preference had been to paint subject pictures in the tradition of Lord Leighton and George Frederick Watts, Spencer Watson's later success as a society portraitist led to a steady stream of commissions. After 1900 Spencer Watson began exhibiting regularly at The Royal Academy, at The New Gallery and at The Society of Portrait painters of which he became an active member. Until the First World War he also exhibited at the Paris Salon regularly until the 1914 War, and he had a one man touring show in 1912.

Das verliebte Paar in der alpenländischen Natur, mit den Figuren des Jägers und der Sennerin stellt eines der schönsten wiederkehrenden Motive in Spitzwegs Œuvre dar. Während seiner zahlreichen Wanderungen im Alpenvorland, den Münchner Hausbergen und Tirol dürfte er diesen beiden als Symbolfiguren idyllischer, freier Ländlichkeit des Öfteren begegnet sein. In seinen Skizzenbüchern finden sich etliche Zeichnungen des Paares, deren Zuneigung er in immer neuen Posen arrangiert. Bereits seit seiner Frühzeit variiert Spitzweg das Thema in kleinen Details und Nuancen: mal findet ein Treffen in der Felsenschlucht statt, mal auf einem Gebirgspfad am kleinen Marterl, im Hochwald oder am Brunnen. Die künstlerische Subtilität Spitzwegs zeigt sich in dem unterschiedlichen Charakter der Begegnungen, die als zufälliges Aufeinandertreffen erfolgen, als Stelldichein in nächtlicher Heimlichkeit oder auch tagsüber bei der mittäglichen Rast, wie die Chronik einer Liebesgeschichte in den Alpen, wenn man alles zusammennähme. Die beiden Figuren und ihre Romanze scheinen ihn nicht nur malerisch nachhaltig beschäftigt zu haben, merkt man doch an den zahlreichen Varianten die theatralische Lust am inszenieren und an der Erzählung. Bei einigen der Gemälde steht die Landschaft im Vordergrund, bei anderen - so wie in diesem Fall - treten die Figuren größer im Vordergrund auf. Sie wenden sich, ganz ineinander vertieft, vom Betrachter ab und spazieren in den dichten Wald, hinter dem man - in ganz Spitzwegscher Manier - einen kleinen Ausblick erhaschen darf auf den hinter den Wolken silbrig schimmernden Mond. Deutlicher als andere Variationen des Themas verortet er die Szene hier im Gebirge, wie es sich in der am rechten Rand eingefügten Felswand zeigt. Außergewöhnlich ist im vorliegenden Gemälde auch die Lichtregie, die wie vor einer Waldbühne von vorne zusätzlich beleuchtet zu sein scheint. Neben die in tupfenhafter und lockerer Malweise in den unterschiedlichsten Grüntönen wiedergegebenen Vegetation und dem Anzug des Jägers setzt Spitzweg im Gewand der Sennerin seinen bevorzugten Farbklang aus rotem Rock, blauer Schürze, schwarzem Mieder und weißer Bluse, zurückhaltend hier jedoch in kleinster und subtiler Dosierung. Die beiden Figuren des Jägers und der Sennerin finden sich auch in einzelfigurigen Szenen in Spitzwegs Œuvre, hier finden sie auf heimlich-romantische Art im Gemälde zusammen.

The love couple in the Alpine countryside, with the figures of the hunter and the dairymaid, is one of the most beautiful recurring motifs in Spitzweg's oeuvre. During his numerous hikes in the foothills of the Alps, Munich's local mountains and Tyrol, he was likely to frequently encounter these two as symbolic figures of an idyllic rural life. His sketchbooks contain numerous drawings of the couple, arranging their affection in ever new poses. Even from his early days, Spitzweg varied the theme in small details and nuances: sometimes a meeting takes place in a rocky gorge, sometimes on a mountain path at a small shrine, in a mountain forest or at a fountain. Spitzweg's artistic subtlety becomes evident in the encounters’ varying characters. A chance meeting, a rendezvous at night in secrecy or during the day at a midday rest, like the chronicle of a love story in the Alps. The two figures and their romance seem to have been a lasting preoccupation for him, and not just in terms of painting, as the numerous variations thereof testify to his joy in staging and telling the story. In some of the paintings, the landscape is in the foreground, in others - as in this case - the figures appear larger in the foreground. They turn away from the viewer, completely immersed in each other, and walk into the dense forest, behind which - in true Spitzwegian style - we catch a glimpse of the moon shimmering silvery behind the clouds. More clearly than inother variations on the theme, he located the scene in the present work in the mountains, as the rock face in right suggests. The lighting is also unusual in this painting, which appears to be lit from the front, as if in front of a forest stage. Alongside the vegetation and the hunter's suit, depicted in a dabbed and loose painting style in various shades of green, Spitzweg uses his preferred color scheme of red skirt, blue apron, black corsage and white blouse as the dairymaid's apparel, albeit in the smallest and most subtle doses. The two figures of hunter and dairymaid can also be found individually in single-figure scenes in Spitzweg's oeuvre; in this painting they come together in a secretly romantic way.
