18th Century Drawing of Nieuwe Kerk Interior, Amsterdam in Red Chalk
Located in Paris, Île-de-France
Jan Goeree (Middelburg 1670 – Amsterdam 1731) Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam (c. 1724) Red chalk for the architecture, pen and black ink, grey wash on paper Composition reversed in preparation for engraving 25 × 17.5 cm Watermark: Hunting horn, Churchill 318 (dated 1724) Unsigned Provenance Private collection, France Context & Attribution Trained in the studio of Gérard de Lairesse, Jan Goeree was among the finest Dutch engravers of the early eighteenth century, celebrated for his architectural views of Amsterdam. This drawing is a preparatory study for an engraving of the same subject now preserved in a major public collection. The final print—slightly larger—closely follows the reversed composition of this sheet. Subject In the center of the Gothic nave, five bearers carry a catafalque toward a freshly dug grave—a tribute to the naval heroes often buried in the Nieuwe Kerk. This funerary motif, familiar from Dutch painting (e.g. Emanuel de Witte, 1657), evokes the vanitas theme and the transience of earthly life. Technical Analysis Goeree’s use of red chalk for the architecture and ink for the figures reveals his working method: the chalk lines could be used to produce a counterproof restoring the correct orientation of the architecture, while the inked figures remained adjustable before the design was transferred to the copper plate. Place within the Oeuvre Drawings of church...

1st world war poet Siegfried Sassoon caricatures, Hammerklavier; Mr Slapoffsky
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
Siegfried Sassoon (British, 1886-1967) Hammerklavier; and Mr Slapovsky Pencil Both inscribed with titles (lower centre) 8.1/2 x 7.7/8 in. (21.5 x 20 cm.); and 8.1/2 x 9.1/4 in. (21.5 x 23.4 cm.) A near pair Provenance: Siegfried Sassoon and thence by descent Long regarded as one of Britain’s best loved war poets, this caricature gives a private insight into Sassoon's mind and his relationship to Edith Sitwell. Siegfried Loraine Sassoon CBE MC was an English war poet, writer, and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war in his "Soldier's Declaration" of 1917, culminating in his admission to a military psychiatric hospital; this resulted in his forming a friendship with Wilfred Owen...

Old Masters Sanguine Drawing of Putti and a Lion, 18th century
Located in SANTA FE, NM
Old Masters Sanguine Drawing of Putti and a Lion 18th century 4 3/4 x 3 1/4 (8 5/8 x 7 1/4 frame) inches An utterly charming depiction in sanguine of 5 putti and a lion on a leash. Excellent details and condition. The innermost frame is period and probably original to the piece with the addition of a later frame added for style. Though the lion, known as the Marzocco, was the symbol of of a free Republic of Florence, it also carried many biblical meanings as well. As such, That a lion denotes the good of celestial love and the derivative truth, in its power, and also that in the opposite sense it denotes the evil of the love of self in its power, is evident from passages in the Word where a lion is mentioned. That it denotes the good of celestial love is evident in John:-- "Behold the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath conquered to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof (Rev. 5:5);" Here the Lord is called a lion from the omnipotence belonging to His Divine love and the Divine truth thence derived. In other passages in the Word, Jehovah or the Lord is compared to a lion, as in Hosea:-- "They shall go after Jehovah; He shall roar like a lion; for Be shall roar, and the sons shall come with honor from the sea (Hosea 11:10)." Even more interesting still is the association with Cherubs (or perhaps Putti as they are closely related)... In Isaiah:-- "Thus said Jehovah unto me, Like as when the lion roareth, and the young lion over his prey, if a fulness of shepherds come running upon him, he is not dismayed at their voice, and is not afflicted by their tumult; so shall Jehovah Zebaoth come down to fight upon Mount Zion...

A Pair of Angels
By Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Located in New York, NY
Provenance: Wilhelm Suida (1877–1959), New York; by descent to: Robert L. and Bertina Suida Manning, New York, until 1996 Private Collection, USA When in the collection of Wilhelm Suida and his descendants, this pair of angels was attributed to the great Roman Baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. While there are some resonances with Bernini’s sketches of angels in chalk, the handling and quality of execution of these drawings point towards an artist working in his wake, possibly even a French artist active in Rome, ca. 1700. Bernini frequently sketched angels...
