HENRY SCOTT TUKE (BRITISH, 1858-1929)Samwell sitting on a blue dug-out signed and dated 'H.S. Tuke 1924' (lower right) oil on canvas 39 x 29cm Provenance Geoffrey Sainsbury (The artist's nephew); Henry Shemilt; Acquired from the above in 1963 by Brian D. Price; Acquired from the above by the present owner Literature The Diary of Henry Scott Tuke 1923-1925, transcribed by B.D. Price; Catching the Light - The Art and Life of Henry Scott Tuke, Catherine Wallace, 2008, plate 131.FootnoteTuke painted the present work on 10th January 1924, and recorded the following entry in his diary:‘Out with Samwell and Ralph again and went further on – nearly got a small nurse shark with the paddle, it was struck several times but eventually got away. Landed and did a good study of Samwell sitting in a bluish dugout, with flickering shadows from overhanging trees. Worked hard at it all afternoon at home.’Unable to resist an adventure, Tuke was 67 when, in November 1923, he set sail for Jamaica on the Fyffe banana-ship, S.S. Coronado; part of an expedition funded by the author and explorer Lilian, Lady Richmond Brown and including Fredrick Albert Mitchell-Hedges, a fellow explorer whom Tuke met at a Lecture in Falmouth. Mitchell-Hedges is perhaps best remembered for claiming to have discovered a crystal skull in Belize in 1924, but failing to mention the artefact until the mid-1940s, following the sale of a strikingly similar crystal skull at Sothebys in October 1943; modern testing of the skull has revealed the markings of modern machinery rather than Mayan tools. This illustrious party docked in Port Royal on 10th December before travelling the 100 miles or so to the Black River. Tuke spent the following two months painting numerous oils and watercolours of the local landscape and people. Samuel, known as Samwell, was one of his favourite models, whom he described as an ‘…interesting type. Looks like a fierce savage but as gentle as a dove.’ Samwell appeared in several works, most notably, Black River Boatmen, Jamaica, an oil begun on 9th January, the day before the present work, which went on to be exhibited at The Royal Academy in 1925, no.500, and sold at Christies 2nd-16thDecember 2021, lot 97, for £30,000 hammer. Tuke skillfully captures a charmingly uncontrived moment as his subject stares, unselfconsciously, out to sea, the dappled light and heat are beautifully and deftly rendered, strongly evoking the unique atmosphere of the Caribbean.Condition Reportoriginal canvas; the paint surface is in excellent, clean condition; no sign of retouching under ultraviolet light, held in a plaster gilt frame in fair condition.

A large carved Green Jade Pectoral Plaque - Mesoamerica - Mayan area, late classical style. Ex Rothschild Collection. Label to verso. This jade pectoral plaque is masterfully carved in low relief with an elegant and highly detailed image of a lord, seated and gesturing in one of the most definitive images of a Maya elite. His strong and youthful body in a three quarter profile with cross-legs and his head is turned in sharp profile to his right showing the regal extended nose bridge, tear-shaped eye, and relaxed mouth. One hand is planted firmly on his thigh and his right hand is raised with delicate fingers flexed in a symbolic gesture, a posturing that is most famously depicted on the Nebaj jade plaque, indicative of a regal encounter or audience scene. The massive headdress features the mythic Principal Bird Deity with long plumes. The whole scene is enclosed in a graceful cartouche frame that represents the maw of the Otherworld, indicating we are looking into a portal to see the deceased continuing in rituals. Audience scenes of lords are frequently depicted on painted Maya vessels. However, illustrating such an event on jade involved another dimension of materiality. Jade was considered the most valued and sacred material of enduring capability; it was a 'material with soul or spirit' 19cm x 19cm In excellent condition

Auf der Außenseite polychrome Malerei mit geglätteter Oberfläche. Zwei gleichartig angelegte, rechteckige Bildflächen mit knienden, vorwärts gebeugten Kriegern mit reichem Federschmuck auf dem Kopf, getrennt durch zwei Register mit je drei Maya-Glyphen. Bildflächen und Glyphen-Register durch schwarze Doppellinien eingerahmt.

Höhe 14,5 cm. Durchmesser 15 cm. Ausgesprochen attraktive Vase der Spätphase der klassischen Maya-Kultur mit nur geringfügigen Abplatzungen, die das Gesamterscheinungsbild der künstlerisch hochwertigen Keramik nicht beeinträchtigen.

Polychrome painting with a smooth surface on the outside. Two similarly arranged, rectangular scenes with kneeling warriors, bent forwards, wearing lavish feather headdresses, separated by two registers, each with three Maya glyphs. The pictorial spaces and glyph registers framed by double black lines. The almost identical images of the warriors are distinguished by the gesture of the hand being extended forwards.

Height 14.5 cm. Diameter 15 cm.

Original prospectus with an illustration of the vase is included. Condition: I - II
