Ilya Shenker (1922-2013): On the road, oil on canvasWork: 105,5 x 76,5 cmFrame: 115 x 90,5 cm New York resident Ilya Shenker left Russia over twenty years ago; however, Russia has never left the artist's mind. As a soldier in World War II, he survived where millions perished. Upon returning to his home town of Odessa, he felt abandoned and alone. He studied Art and Architecture in Odessa but left for America when the opportunity arose when a number of Russian Jewish artists where allowed to emigrate. He settled in New York City, a choice that has forever impacted his oeuvre. Many of his pictures depict New York cityscapes and lifestyle; however, they remain typically Russian. His subject matter often comes from memory and includes the life that he left behind, family, and friends. Drawing upon his Jewish heritage for inspiration, Shenker also paints historical events, such as 'On the Eve of the Assault' in which he portrayed the last night before the destruction of Jerusalem. His use of imagination also applies to the figures in his paintings - fictional characters such as the Spanish literary character Don Quixote make appearances in his work. He has also placed figures such as Rembrandt and Picasso in modern settings: in "Rembrandt Visiting our Family," Shenker sits his most favored artist at his family table, in a tribute to someone he describes as a "peoples artist." On many levels, Shenker saw himself as a people's artist as well. In fact, he contributed to an exhibition intended to commemorate the six-month anniversary of September 11th, 2001 in New York City. Ilya Shenker has exhibited works all over the World, and held numerous shows in the United States. He also has permanent works in several Russian museums.

During his time as a prisoner of war, the memories of Capri and its coastline stayed with him and he returned to live there. He painted many other subjects on Capri and around Italy but his cliff views of the sea made his name and brought him considerable commercial success.

Of legal interest. A pair of William IV Irish silver dessert spoons.Edward Power,Dublin, 1833 & 1834. The Fiddle pattern spoons with rat-tails to reverse of bowls, the front of the terminals engraved 'Co. Cavan Grand Jury', retailed by Twycross, 18.4cm long, total weight approx. 2.3ozt (2)Footnotes: County Cavan, an area once forming part of the Kingdom of Breifnie, came under Norman influence from the late 12th century and since the early 17th century has been part of Ulster.A Grand Jury is a group of citizens empowered by law to conduct legal proceedings, investigate potential criminal conduct, and determine whether criminal charges should be brought. A Grand Jury is separate from the courts, which do not preside over its functioning. In Ireland Grand Juries were active from the mediaeval period onwards and mainly functioned as local government authorities at the county level (the jurors were usually drawn from the larger landowners and appointed by their peers).From 1691 to 1793 Roman Catholics in Ireland were excluded from membership of a Grand Jury, irrespective of wealth, and from in 1840 the Municipal Corporations Act (Ireland) weakened the power of the traditional membership. When the Local Government Act (Ireland) was passed in 1898 and saw the creation of democratically elected County Councils these took over many of the former functions of the Grand Juries. They were discontinued in Southern Ireland in 1922 and Northern Ireland in 1969.
A Victorian Britannia silver milk jug.John Aldwinckle & James Slater, London, 1880.The helmet-shaped body raised on three pad feet and designed with a scrolling handle and moulded band to mid-section, the body engraved with the crest of the Bridgeman family, 8.9cm high, approx. weight 3.7ozt Footnotes: The last quarter of the 19th century saw a renewed interest in Britannia standard silver, which led to new punches being created and used to hallmark silver. The Britannia standard had initially been introduced in the late 17th century in a bid to prevent 'coin clipping' from devaluing the currency but comparatively little was produced between 1720 (when England returned to using sterling standard) and the late 19th century. This milk jug was produced at a time when Britannia silver was seeing a resurgence in popularity among English goldsmiths and their clients.
Simon-Bernard Lenoir (French, 1729-1798) Portrait of Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet, 1694-1778), circa 1764inscribed verso 'Le Noir:pinxit'oil on canvas44 x 35cmProvenance:Within the present vendor's family for at least 90 yearsThis engaging, re-discovered portrait represents an important addition to the contemporary iconography of the renowned French Enlightenment writer François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire. Simon-Bernard Lenoir exhibited a pastel portrait of Voltaire at the Salon de l'Académie de Saint Luc, Paris, in 1764, believed to have been commissioned by Voltaire's friend, the actor Lekain (now in the Princeton University Art Museum, No. 2019-5). Although compositionally close to the pastel, the present oil on canvas, slightly smaller in scale, differs notably in the colour and style of Voltaire's jacket as well as the inclusion of delicate details, such the sitter's wig powder falling upon his shoulder, which give this painting a more immediate and lifelike feel and suggest it was made from first hand observation.Although primarily known as a pastelist, Lenoir also executed portraits in oil and is known to have repeated compositions in both mediums. The soft palette, sensitive handling (indicative of an artist familiar with pastel), closeness in style to known paintings by Lenoir and the inscription to the reverse of the relined canvas - likely replicating the artist's signature to the original canvas - all support a conclusive attribution of the present work to Lenoir's brush.The year 1764, also the presumed date of this portrait, was a significant one for Voltaire as it saw the publication of the Dictionnaire Philosophique, one of his best known philosophical works.
