Gertrude Katherine Lathrop (American, 1896-1986) A magnificent and large bronze of a PekingesePatinated bronze, raised on a rectangular base inscribed 'G.K. LATHROP', 56.5cm wide, 31cm deep, 25cm high (22in wide, 12in deep, 9 1/2in high) Footnotes:Born in Albany, New York, Gertrude Lathrop came from a family of women artists with whom she shared a studio at home. Her mother, Ida, was a painter of landscapes and still lifes, and her sister, Dorothy, was primarily a writer and illustrator of children's books. Lathrop studied with Gutzon Borglum at the Art Students League in New York City in 1918 and at his School of American Sculpture from 1920 to 1921. She spent the summer of 1924 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, studying with Charles Grafly. It is during her training that she found herself drawn to animal sculpture above all subjects. Of this, she wrote:'I chose to model animals because of their infinite variety of form and texture and their great beauty, for even the lowliest of them have beauty, yes even the ward bug, with his magnificent tusks.'In 1921, at the National Academy of Design, Lathrop had her first exhibition, and in the following years her work was included in many shows of the National Sculpture Society. In 1954, she moved with her sister to Falls Village, Connecticut, where she died in 1986. Although she modelled portraits and was an accomplished medallist, her main interest was in sculpting animals. Lathrop's work can be found in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum; Brookgreen Gardens; National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington, DC; Albany Public Library; and Houston Public Library.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Cast iron garden sculpture of a resting female nude, painted in black, weathered and with some losses, on a rectangular plinth, width 59cm, height 43cm.Condition report:Fractures to the head and rear of the figure's left arm. It appeared to have lost the finger ends of the left hand, assuming it had been modelled with the fingers following down the plinth, but it actually appears they are curled under the hand and there is an overhanging part of the hand, so no losses as such. Additional images of it in the round show extent of weathering. The casting does lack definition.
Lot 14
A rare and magnificent Chinese glazed pottery horse Tang Dynasty Powerfully modelled standing four square on a rectangular plinth, the head turned slightly, with unglazed bulging eyes and flaring nostrils, the hooves glazed in ochre.79.5cm high.Provenance: purchased at the Biennale des Antiquaires, Paris, late 1960s/early 1970s.唐 釉陶馬來源：於1960末/1970初購於巴黎古董雙年展。Standing four-square with neatly defined facial features and trim and powerful musculature, the present lot is at once exemplar of the prominent standing that horses had within Chinese society in the Tang dynasty, and of the plastic and sculptural accomplishments reached by the artisans of the period.Horses had long been a coveted symbol of wealth and status in China, and a popular subject of painting and pottery sculpture since the Han dynasty. It is in the Tang dynasty, however, that representation of this noble animal reached its peak, to the point that Tang dynasty pottery horses, both glazed and unglazed, are now iconic. Despite the proliferation of horse sculptures during this period, the ownership of these was reserved for the aristocratic class through an edict of 667 which forbade artisans and tradesmen this right.The magnificent proportions and accurate representation of the present horse mark it out as a sculpture that would have been produced for a family of exceptional wealth and rank. Whilst most examples are represented wearing elaborate saddle and trappings, the horse in the present lot is free of any encumbrance, allowing the sculptor free rein to represent its powerful spirit, at the same time showing off the artist's capacity to naturalistically render the anatomy of the animal.Uncaparisoned, glazed examples of horses of this size are exceptionally rare, and none appear to have come to the market in the past few decades, although some examples are in museum collections worldwide.Cf. Compare a smaller pair, 68.3cm high, sold by Sotheby’s New York, 23 March 2022 lot 313. A horse of similar size, covered in a yellowish-brown glaze, was in the collection of George Eumofopoulos and now in the British Museum, London, illustrated in William Watson, Tang and Liao Ceramic, London, 1984, pl. 220.Condition Report: There are various areas of restorations, including the head, both ears, bottom of the neck, all four legs, bottom section of the tail, which all florescent under UV light. There are stress lines to the back and the inner side of the right rear leg. Please request more detailed images from the department for a full overview. Buyers are encouraged to inspect in person before bidding.
