Circle of Octave Denis Victor Guillonnet, French 1872-1967- Two ladies seated in a garden, on a summer's day; oil on canvas, 71.6 x 84.7 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work very much resembles that of Guillonnet, who was known for his distinctive scenes depicting lush garden settings, often contrasting the bright sun with the shade of the trees under which figures rest. This approach is evident, for example, in a painting by Guillonnet which sold at Bonhams, London, on 3 March 2021 (lot 156).

HUGO (Victor). Odes - Odes et Ballades. Paris, Ladvocat, 1825-1827. 3 volumes in-12, collection of all Victor Hugo's "Odes", Odes et Ballades (volume 3) in first edition, Odes in third edition. Illustrated with 3 frontispieces engraved by Mauduit and Godefroy after Devéria. Enriched with an additional state of the frontispiece of volume 1, an original drawing after the frontispieces of volumes 1 and 2, a portrait of the author by Pollet, a portrait of the Duc de Berry engraved by Cardon after Monenteuil and 10 hors-texte engravings. The copy also includes a signed autograph letter to Victor Hugo from Maréchale Oudinot duchesse de Reggio, née Eugénie de Courcy and dame d'honneur to the Duchesse de Berry, located in Paris and dated May 27, 1821, bound at the head of the first volume. "It is infinitely pleasant for me to have to announce to you, Monsieur, that M. la Marquis de Lauriston, Minister of the King's Household, to whom I had written in your favor, on behalf of Madame la Duchesse de Berry, has just replied that your talent and the position of your fortune were known to him, and that you would be one of the first for whom he would invoke the King's kindness." This interesting letter, addressed to the 19-year-old Victor Hugo, marks a turning point in the poet's life. In 1821, having just published the Odes, King Louis XVIII, who had read the collection, granted Victor Hugo an annual pension of one thousand francs. The letter probably bears witness to the Duchesse de Berry's intercession with the king to obtain this pension. It enabled the poet to devote himself fully to his art, to make a living from it, to plan his marriage to Adèle Foucher and to really begin his career as a writer. Bound in full green long-grain morocco, the boards and spine mosaicked with red, blue, violet and brown leather in the Romantic style, smooth ornate spine, red morocco title-pieces, vegetal roulettes on the edges, frieze and fillets framing the inside covers, blue silk moire endpapers, all edges gilt, signed René Kieffer. In common slipcase. (spine faded, tear to title-piece). Expert : Monsieur Nicolas Asvisio
