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.

WILLIE WOODBURN OF RANGERS F.C., SCOTTISH FOOTALL ASSOCIATION WAR CHALLENGE CUP, 1939/40 a silver trophy AND COVER, in sterling silver, hallmarked for Birmingham 1938/9, the cover with footballer finial, the twin handled cup inscribed 'SCOTTISH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION WAR CHALLENGE CUP', on a circular socle base mounted with shield shaped plaque inscribed '1939-40 WON BY RANGERS F.C W. WOODBURN', 24cm high 23.5cm high overall Note: This rare and important piece of Scottish footballing history comes from a period of turbulence for the country. Due to the outbreak of World War II, all normal competitions were suspended, with a number of regional tournaments having been set up in their place. Therefore, whilst both the Scottish Football League and Scottish League Cup were no longer contested, the Southern Football League and Southern Football League Cup were held in an unofficial capacity.These were played at a time of unrelenting dominance for Rangers Football Club, them not having gone more than a year without lifting a major trophy since 1917. Indeed, during the so-called 'unofficial' years, the team won all six Southern League titles, as well as four of the six Southern League Cups (losing the other two in the final - one of which was cruelly snatched from them when the game ended in a draw, the winner being decided on who had been awarded the most corners).The trophy offered at McTear's relates to the Southern Scottish League's Emergeny Cup Competition. The final saw Rangers defeated Dundee 1-0 in that year's final.

It was contested to mark the coronation of Elizabeth II, with Aberdeen, Celtic, Hibs, Rangers, Arsenal, Manchester Utd., Newcastle Utd., and Tottenham being invited to take part.Despite not being favourites, Celtic saw off Arsenal (1952/53 Division 1 champions) and Manchester Utd. (1951/52 champions), to meet Hibs in the final. Indeed, the person to whom this was awarded, goalkeeper John Bonnar, was critical in helping the team to victory. With his help, Celtic won the final 2-0 vs. Hibs in front of 117,000 spectators at Hampden.Again, in the words of the Willie Maley song:'Well Coronation time was here, Fifty Three, that was the year, Another four from England met their doom.They said ‘we’ll have to try again’, But like before it was in vain, Because the Cup is in the Parkhead trophy room'

Patrick Swift (1927-1983) Positano Oil on canvas, 76 x 51cm (28 x 20")Exhibited: Dublin, 1993, Irish Museum of Modern Art label verso, Belfast, Ulster MuseumOne of the best and most interesting Irish painters of the 20th century, Patrick Swift was also an exceptionally free spirit, something that resulted in his relative obscurity on the Irish cultural scene for a long time, despite the consistent advocacy of some formidable commentators, notably the writer Anthony Cronin, who never doubted his significance. It didn’t help, of course, that Swift spend much of his life abroad, in London for most of the 1950s and, from 1962, in Portugal, where he settled. He also spent time in Paris and about a year in Italy during the 1950s. For the latter part of his Italian residency, in early 1955, he was in Positano, and this exceptionally fine painting dates from that time.No matter where he was, Swift was always drawn to trees, and the dramatic, bristling arcs of the foregrounded palm, probably a date palm, take pride of place in this composition, its exuberant energy cleverly contained by the right-angled grid of the town’s buildings behind, before the eye leaps on to the freedom of the soaring mountainside beyond with its intricate latticework of rock, trees and other vegetation. From the heat of the town, we are skilfully guided towards the breezy, airy summit.Hugely energetic and enterprising, Swift straddled the artistic and literary scenes in Dublin (he founded the journal X during his time in London). He studied at NCAD and, an immediately accomplished painter, established a studio in Dublin. Lucian Freud stayed there when he visited the city and there is a notable synergy between the work of the two at the time. Swift’s precise, probing mode of realism was also an acknowledged influence on painter Edward Maguire. Swift was opposed to abstraction, which he saw as being in the ascendant in the 1950s, but he was an extremely adventurous representational painter, open to many possibilities. His settling in Portugal was partly a way of focussing more intently on his own work, away from the pressure of prevailing orthodoxies. In 1968 he opened a traditional Portuguese pottery with fellow painter Lima de Freites while continuing to paint and exhibit. Following his relatively early death in 1983, there were moves to explore his artistic legacy, eventually resulting in fine retrospectives at IMMA and Cork’s Crawford Gallery.Aidan Dunne, February 2025

* CARLO PERANDINI (ITALIAN 1899 - 1986), CORFU oil on canvas, signed, titled versoframedimage size 71cm x 100cm, overall size 84cm x 114cm Note: Carlo Perandini was a highly successful impressionist. He was born in Milan and as a child never saw the sea. He visited Capri and was captivated by the sea and the cliffs which he depicted brilliantly with vibrant and complex colour. 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.

Below is a small snippet from these years.Friday, 7th April 1939 Italian forces invade Albania, meeting little resistance.Thursday, 27th April 1939 Received my “Secret” orders on where to report for duty in an emergency.Saturday, 8th July 1939 "Air Raid" blackout at 10 PM.Thursday, 10th August 1939 Drove down to Whitehall after fitting my RAF uniform for the first time.

A big bomber raid on the island of Sylt occurred during the night, lasting seven hours. All our machines returned except one.Monday, 8th April 1940 Expected a busy day, but very little happened.

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.
