▲ William Scott RA (1913-1989) 'Orange Still Life', 1956 (William Scott Archive No.1893);verso, pencil sketch of Mary Scott, the artist’s wife, late 1930ssigned 'W. Scott' l.r., gouache50.5 x 68cmProvenance: Private collection, USA;Offer Waterman & Co., London;the property of a private collector.The drawing of Mary Scott is similar to the oil painting ‘Seated Nude’, 1939, Tate, London.We are grateful to the William Scott Archive for their kind assistance with the cataloguing of the present work.In the 1950s, William Scott's use of vibrant colours, like orange and ochre, played a crucial role in his still-life compositions, marking a key period in his artistic development. As a member of the post-war British painting group, including artists such as Patrick Heron, Terry Frost and Peter Lanyon, Scott was influenced by the boldness of abstract expressionism. In 1953, his exposure to the New York School, where he met leading figures like Rothko, de Kooning and Pollock, made a significant impact on his approach to abstraction. Despite this, Scott remained deeply attached to the still-life genre, finding ways to modernise it while infusing it with abstraction. His works from the late 1950s often featured everyday objects like jugs, bowls and pans, painted against bold backgrounds in colours like orange. These hues, especially the warm tones of orange, went beyond mere decoration - they emphasised the physical presence of the objects and imbued the scenes with energy.Scott's choice of orange can be seen as a deliberate effort to elevate these everyday items, drawing attention to their form and giving them a unique vibrancy. This use of colour was particularly striking in works, as seen here in lot 278, where the colour envelops the composition, making items seem dynamic and essential. For Scott, orange was not only a visual tool but also a way to convey a sense of warmth and vitality. It helped balance the austerity of his minimalist approach with the sensuality he sought to evoke. By combining the figurative and abstract elements of his work, Scott's use of orange served as a bridge between his engagement with American abstraction and his European roots in more tactile, representational art.Condition ReportFramed: 67 x 84.5cmThe work is executed on paper. Rippling to the sheet visible when viewed from the side under raking light. Pinholes to top corners. A tiny tear to the extreme upper right corner. Lower edge torn slightly unevenly. Presents well overall when viewed on the wall.

â–² Edward Burra (1905-1976) The processionwith 'E J Burra' estate stamp u.r., pencil and watercolour, with a pencil drawing of dancers verso65 x 50cm, unframedProvenance: Sotheby's, London, 'Works from the Estate of Edward Burra, Lady Ritchie of Dundee and Associated Owners', 3 July 2002, lot 256;the property of a private collector.Edward Burra was known for his surreal, satirical depictions of modern life. Born in London and raised in Rye, Sussex, he battled chronic rheumatoid arthritis, which shaped both his lifestyle and artistic practice. Despite physical limitations, he developed a distinctive style, favouring large-scale watercolours. His early work focused on urban nightlife, revelling in the grit and glamour of brothels, bars and cabaret scenes.Burra’s fascination with Hispanic culture led him to Spain in 1933, during the turbulent years of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939). The country was undergoing radical political change - secular reforms, social unrest and rising tensions that would eventually lead to civil war. He was captivated by Spain's dramatic cultural traditions, particularly its religious processions, bullfights and theatrical Catholic rituals. Spanish art profoundly influenced him, from the eerie mysticism of El Greco to the stark realism of Goya and Zurbarán. Burra immersed himself in the culture, learning Spanish and surrounding himself with Spanish literature. He also travelled to Mexico, where the vibrant folk traditions and imagery of the Day of the Dead reinforced his fascination with ritual and the macabre.His undated drawing 'The Procession' showcases his signature compositional technique. The eye is led diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, where figures seem to move beyond the paper’s edge. This sense of momentum is key to his later religious-themed works. Burra’s cartoonist-like approach is evident - while most of the piece remains an outline, he selectively colours a few figures, particularly a striking, red-skinned face, adding both drama and mystery. This technique teases the viewer, leaving them wondering how the final piece might have looked, a hallmark of Burra’s ability to balance intrigue and narrative depth.Condition ReportThere are several very small, repaired tears to the upper edge. A few light spots of foxing starting to emerge. Very light surface dirt. There is a little pale yellow discolouration in the lower right corner.
â–² Ben Nicholson OM (1894-1982) 'Kos' signed, inscribed and dated 'NICHOLSON'/April 59/(Kos)' on the backboard, pencil and wash 48 x 35.5cm Provenance: With Galerie Charles Lienhard, Zurich; Sotheby's, London, 6 December 1984, lot 658; Sotheby's, London, '20th Century British Art', 13 July 2007, lot 4; the property of a private collector. Exhibited: Château des Rohan, Strasbourg, 'La Grande Aventure de l'Art du XXe Siècle', June - September 1963, catalogue no. 191. Ben Nicholson's extensive travels throughout his life significantly influenced his artistic development. In 1959, he embarked on a Swan Hellenic tour to Greece, which included numerous stops. This journey proved to be particularly inspiring for Nicholson, as he was deeply moved by the simplistic beauty of Cycladic figurines and Greek architecture. Nicholson's experiences in Greece enriched his artistic vision, leading to a more sculptural approach in his compositions. He began to incorporate subdued colours and a controlled palette, reflecting the serene landscapes and architectural forms he encountered. This influence is evident in the present work and also inspired his pure-white carved reliefs, which became a hallmark of his style. Condition ReportFramed: 75 x 62cm The drawing is mounted on a board. A little time staining with a small brown mark to the top edge, centre left, possibly tape residue (?). The wash is faint. A tiny fold in the extreme lower right corner. Please see additional images. Not viewed out of glazed frame.

Christopher Wood (1901-1930) 'á Madame Laloy amicalement' signed, inscribed with title, and dated 'Christopher Wood/1926' u.l., pencil 49 x 32cm Provenance: Sotheby’s, London, ‘Drawings and Watercolours from the Collection of the Late Sir John and Lady Witt', 19 February 1987, lot 393. This portrait depicts Madame Laloy, the wife of musicologist Louis Laloy, and most likely dates from the spring of 1926, when Christopher Wood was most friendly with them. In a letter to his mother in March 1926, Wood expressed an ambition to design a ballet with Laloy and, later that year, he met Laloy and the French composer Georges Auric in London, to discuss designing scenery for a Chinese play. Previously, Wood had been commissioned by Diaghilev to create designs for his 1926 production of 'Romeo and Juliet', however, these were later replaced with designs by Miró and Ernst. This period marks a shift in Wood's work. His view of his French connections began to change and he began to turn his attentions away from the ballet. It was at this moment that the character of Wood's work would start to develop, moving away from the modernist influences of Cocteau, Picasso and Diaghilev. By August 1926, Wood's work was influenced by his friendship with Ben and Winifred Nicholson. This new outlook would shape his work in Cornwall and Brittany over the next four years. The drawing offered for sale showcases Wood's minimalist approach to line, capturing form with just the essential details. Condition ReportFramed: 66 x 47cm Time staining. Creasing around the edges. A little dirt and discolouration along the top edge. Not viewed out of glazed frame.

Original charcoal and pencil drawing on paper featuring an illustration of a lady laying down in bed and a gentleman smoking at her side. Signed. Joan Cardona i Llados (June 30, 1877 – September 16, 1958) was a Spanish painter and illustrator associated with the Modernist movement. Born in Barcelona, he studied at the Escola de la Llotja, where he developed his skills in painting and drawing. While he initially focused on landscape painting, evolving from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism, he gained greater recognition as a draftsman and illustrator. Cardona was heavily influenced by French artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Théophile Steinlen, which is reflected in his realistic yet expressive style. In 1900, he moved to Paris, where he became well known for his depictions of female figures, both Parisian and Spanish, in a manner reminiscent of Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa. In the French capital he formed a group with the best illustrators of the time, such as Cappiello, Sem, Steinlen and Roubille. His work was featured in numerous publications, including Catalan magazines such as Hispania, El Gato Negro, and La Ilustració Catalana, as well as French (Le Rire, La Vie Parisienne) and German (Jugend, Simplicissimus) periodicals. His illustrations captured the vibrant and sometimes bohemian life of the early 20th century.
