*ISABEL LAMBERT RAWSTHORNE (NÉE NICHOLAS) (1912-1992) Double portrait circa 1960s, oil on canvas, 60cm x 50cmProvenance: The picture was inherited by descent from mother to daughter. The mother was friends with both Constant Lambert and Alan Rawsthorne (two of Isabel's husbands), as part of the same music circle. She remained friends with Isabel right up her twilight years when she lived in a cottage in Essex. Indeed the daughter vividly recalls visits, and the kind donation of old canvases to her brother as a young artist.Note: Isabel has been subjected to relative obscurity, probably due to her name changes from three marriages, and from being dismissed by society as merely the striking studio model, lover or muse of artistic icons such as Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, and Francis Bacon. Despite highly acclaimed exhibitions in the 50s and 60s, she has only recently received serious renewed recognition, which is now gaining pace and several paintings have entered public collections as a result.From a humble background she studied at the Liverpool College of Art, later winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy in London. After working with Jacob Epstein she moved to Paris to study at the Academie de la Grande Chamiere and associated with Giacometti, Tristan Tzara and the Surrealist Circle. Throughout her life she was within leading artistic circles, be they composers, dancers, artists or writers. It is notable that she became a respected scenery and costume designer for ballet and opera productions at the Royal Opera House.From 1949 she and Bacon showcased their figurative brand of modern art at the Hanover Gallery and exhibited in the ICA and British Council. Indeed the critic David Sylvester ranked her alongside Bacon, Lucien Freud, John Craxton and Peter Lanyon.It was during the 1960s and 1970s, with the deaths of Giacometti and her third husband, that the ethereal double portraits emerged and where the distinctive dead and sculpted likenesses evolved. This painting is almost certainly one of a portrait series of her late husband Alan Rawsthorne and his sister Barbara. The spectral faces dissolve into a void-like background, capturing the fragility of the human body. The doubling effect suggests the mirrored ballet studios in which she drew dancers at their craft. The grainy texture, created with sand highlighted with hints of pink, yellow and white, emphasises the shafts of light and the window behind.

After Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). Set of two polished bronze figural sculptures titled "L'Homme et la Femme" depicting a male and female figure cast after a 1965 terracotta mold by the artist. Both with etched signature along the front of the base; editioned 169/175 along the right side of the base.Lot Essay:Pablo Picasso stands as one of the most renowned and prolific artists of the 20th century, whose innovative and groundbreaking work revolutionized the course of Western art. Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso demonstrated exceptional artistic talent from a young age and received formal training at various art academies. His early works, influenced by Symbolism and the Blue and Rose Periods, showcased his versatility and mastery of traditional techniques.Picasso's career underwent a seismic shift with the advent of Cubism, a movement he co-founded alongside Georges Braque. Cubism shattered conventional notions of perspective and representation, presenting multiple viewpoints simultaneously and breaking objects down into geometric forms. Picasso's seminal work "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) marked a turning point in art history, foreshadowing the radical innovations that would follow.Throughout his prolific career, he continued to push artistic boundaries, experimenting with diverse styles and mediums, including sculpture, ceramics, and collage. His involvement with Surrealism and his exploration of African and Iberian art further enriched his artistic vocabulary.Picasso's influence transcended the confines of the art world, shaping the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond. His legacy as a visionary artist, innovator, and provocateur continues to resonate, inspiring generations of artists and sparking dialogue about the nature of creativity and artistic expression. Through his relentless pursuit of innovation and his fearless embrace of experimentation, he left an indelible mark on art history, cementing his status as a titan of modernism and one of the most enduring figures in the pantheon of great artists.Each, height: 11 3/4 in x width: 6 in x depth: 3 3/4 in.Condition: There are no dents, losses, or repairs.

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). Graphite sketch on graph paper titled "Self Portrait with Marie-Therese Walter," depicting two portraits along the front of the artist and his lover and model, Marie-Therese Walter (French, 1909-1977). She was the mother of their daughter Maya Widmaier-Picasso (1935-2022). The verso of this piece renders several sketches of various objects including a wardrobe cabinet, a ball, a cage, a snail, a human figure, a dog, and an elegant hound voiding his bowels.Provenance: The Estate of Marie-Therese Walter, France; Private collection, Minnesota.Literature: Josep Palau I Fabre, "Pare Picasso," Barcelona: Ediciones Poligrafa, 1977.Lot Essay:A multi-faceted artist who worked as a sculptor, painter, printmaker, and theater designer, Pablo Picasso is known as the co-founder of the Cubist movement and regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.The artist was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain to Don Jose Ruiz y Blasco (1838–1913) and Maria Picasso y Lopez. His father was a naturalist painter of birds and game as well as a professor of art at the School of Crafts and a curator of a local museum. From the early age of seven, Picasso received formal traditional artistic training from his father, copying work from old masters and rendering the human body through the use of live models and plaster casts.This training took place throughout Picasso’s childhood. In 1891, his family moved to A Coruna where they resided for four years while his father took a position at the School of Fine Arts there. Picasso’s artistic capabilities grew, and even Ruiz claimed that his son had surpassed his own talents. In 1895, his sister, Lola, died from diptheria, and the family moved once again, this time to Barcelona. As a professor at the School of Fine Arts, his father persuaded the institution to let Picasso take the entrance exam for advanced classes at the mere age of thirteen. Though this process typically took a month to complete, Picasso finished in a short week and was accepted into the advanced courses. At age sixteen, Picasso’s father and uncle sent him to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. However, soon after enrollment Picasso stopped attending classes but was instead invigorated by attractions such as the Prado with artistic works by masters Diego Velazquez, Francisco Goya, Francisco Zurbaran, and El Greco.By the time Picasso married his first wife, Olga Stepanovna Khokhlova, in 1918, he had risen to success and acquired some fame and fortune as a forerunner of the Cubist movement, though this contrasted greatly with his humble “starving artist†beginnings and continuing bohemian lifestyle. Khokhlova came from high society and introduced her new husband to formal dinner parties and life of the rich in Paris during the 1920s. This clashed with Picasso’s own world views and inevitably led to the couple’s demise.A long-standing secret affair began in 1927 between Picasso and the then 17-year-old Marie-Thérèse Walter. In 1935, Marie became pregnant and it was then that a friend told Khokhlova about Picasso’s mistress. Khokhlova and Picasso separated, never divorcing, until Khokhlova’s death in 1955. On September 5, 1935, Marie and Picasso’s child, Maria de la Concepcion, called "Maya", was born. Though Picasso financially supported Marie and Maya throughout his life, he never married her and had a number of affairs with other women.Marie was a model and muse for many of Picasso’s paintings, sculptures, and drawings including the sketch seen in this lot. She is typically portrayed as bright and blonde in contrast to the weeping woman persona of Picasso’s other lover, Dora Maar. Though the sketch on the recto of the artist and his lover is masterful and typical of Picasso’s greatest works, the verso renders drawings of dogs, a snail, and other random objects created for the amusement of his daughter, Maya. Both sides demonstrate Picasso’s virtuoso and ability to be playful yet skillful in his artistic works.Height: 5 3/4 in x width: 3 3/4 in.Condition: The drawing is in good condition overall. The drawing is executed on graph paper and has a deckled edge along the right. There is a paper loss along the lower right. A repair to a 1 inch tear that goes from the upper right edge, diagonally downward. Some areas of skinning along the upper left and right corners. Some light surface soiling. Some minor losses and one small tear along the lower edge. The drawing bears light impressions of the drawings on the verso. The drawing is not framed.

David Bomberg, British 1890-1957 - Farm Field, Talgwyn, Red Wharf Bay, 1944; oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right 'Bomberg 44' and bears inscription with title on the reverse of the stretcher, 58.5 x 76 cm (ARR) Provenance: with Boundary Gallery, London (by repute); private collection, London, purchased in 1983 Note: the owner of the work was a close friend and client of Agi Katz, founder and director of Boundary Gallery, who specialised in the work of David Bomberg and other Jewish and émigré artists in Britain; Rosebery's were responsible for selling her Estate in 2022. The work is listed in an inventory made by Agi Katz of the owner's collection. Made towards the end of the Second World War, Bomberg visited Angelsea with his family in 1944, making a number of works of Talgwyn Farm as a respite from the more urban works he had been making. Richard Cork has described these as showing his 'impulsive emtional reaction to the landscape'. This followed an important commission for the War Artists Advisory Committee in 1942 to paint an underground bomb store at RAF Fauld in Tutbury, creating a small body of works that were highly abstracted and almost geometric in form. Bomberg would make more trips across the UK in 1946, making a series of similarly expansive landscapes of Cornwall, Devon and Scotland. These landscapes present a renewed engagement with nature itself and a large number of these are now in public collections including 'Evening, Cornwall, 1947' (Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry), 'Bideford, Devon, 1946' (Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter) and a related Welsh landscape, 'Talgwyn Farm, Red Wharf Bay, Anglesea, 1944' (The Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth). David Bomberg was a member of the Whitechapel Boys. He studied at the Slade School of Art under Henry Tonks, and alongside artists such as Stanley Spencer, Ben Nicholson, and Paul Nash. He was awarded the Slade Prize for drawing in 1913, after which he travelled to France, meeting contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani. In 1914 he co-curated an exhibition with Jacob Epstein, in which his works were shown alongside those of Modigliano, Kisling, and other prominent Jewish artists living in France. His first solo exhibition was held at the Chenil Gallery in 1914, where visitors included Augustus John, Marinetti, Duchamp and Brancusi. Bombergs work has been the subject of a number of solo exhibitions, including at the Israel Museum in 1983, at the Tate in 1988, and at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1979 when under the directorship of Nicholas Serota. His works are currently held at MoMA in New York, the Art Institute in Chicago, the Tate in London and National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh.

This particular painting was completed later in his career and is typical of his oeuvre of this period. His expressive brushstrokes and interesting use of colour create a bold and dynamic composition.
