Edward William Cooke, RA, British 1811-1880- Palermo Cathedral; pencil on paper, 24.8 x 17.8 cm. Provenance: with the Fry Gallery, London. Note: Cooke was the son of the engraver George Cooke (1781-1834), and was undoubtedly influenced by the approach of his father's friends, including figures such as Clarkson Frederick Stanfield (1793-1867) and David Roberts (1796-1864), and by James Stark (1794-1859) under whom he studied. Cooke travelled widely across Europe and North Africa, producing evocative architectural and landscape sketches, of which the present work is a classic example.

Joseph Austin Benwell, British 1816-1886- A desert caravan; pencil, watercolour, and bodycolour on paper, signed and dated 'J A BENWELL 1873' (lower right), 24.9 x 46.6 cm. Note: The present work is an instantly recognisable example of Benwell's Orientalist watercolours, depicting a caravan of camels carrying figures through a mountainous desert landscape, a typical subject for the artist. In the present composition, the maternal connotations of the central female figure with her two children is echoed by the calf which accompanies the camel upon which she sits. Benwell entered the service of the East India Company in the 1840s, after which he travelled widely, visiting India, China, Egypt, and Palestine by the late 1860s. This experience had a transformative impact on Benwell's approach, with his subsequent output consisting almost exclusively of scenes set in the Middle Eastern landscape, like the present work. Benwell was also known as a prolific illustrator, working for a range of publications including 'Illustrated London News' and 'Cornhill Magazine'.

John Varley, Jnr., British 1850-1933- View of the Taj Mahal from Agra Fort; and Street Scene in India; pencil and watercolour on paper, each signed and dated 'John. Varley. 92' (lower left), 25.3 x 34.7 cm., two (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: John Varley Junior was the grandson of John Varley (1778-1842), and the son of Albert Fleetwood (1804-1876). Varley Jnr. travelled widely, visiting Egypt (sailing there in 1874 in a yacht he built himself), Japan, India and Sri Lanka amongst many other countries, producing a number of paintings and drawings of the landscapes and people that he encountered. The present works undoubtedly originate from the artist's travels to India, and convey a sense of the bright light which saturates the landscape.

Georges Henri Manzana Pissarro, French 1871-1961- A couple embracing under palm trees, with view to a river beyond; charcoal on paper, signed 'manzana' (lower right), 30.4 x 23.5 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Manzana Pissarro, as the son of Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), was highly influenced by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist milieu in which his father worked, and was surrounded in his youth by figures such as Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), and Claude Monet (1840-1926). The present work exhibits Manzana Pissarro's distinctive style, evident in the sinuous forms of the embracing couple, and the flowing lines of the palm fronds beyond, which also gestures towards the artist's inclination towards Orientalist subject matter.

Henry Bone, RA, British 1755-1834- Danaë, after Titian; enamel on copper, inscribed 'London/ April 1812/ Painted for the Marquis of Lansdown by/ Henry Bone RA. Enamel painter in Ordinary/ to His Majesty and Enamel painter to H.R.H./ the Prince Regent after the Original by Titian/ in the Collection of the Earl of Darnley' to the reverse, 31.7 x 22.6 cm. Provenance: The collection of the Earl of Darnley. The artist's sale, London, Christie's, 30 June 1832, lot 66. Private Collection, UK. Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1810, no. 652. Literature: R. Walker, 'Henry Bone's Pencil Drawings in the National Gallery', in The Walpole Society, 1999, p. 359, cat. no. 672. Note: Bone was known for creating some of the largest enamel paintings of his time, achieving recognition in 1801 when he became an associate of the Royal Academy and was appointed enamel painter to King George III. Bone went on to retain this position through the reigns of George IV and William IV. In 1811 Bone was elected as a Royal Academician, and this same year completed a large enamel painting after Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne. That picture was sold at Christie's London on the 4th July 2013 (lot 2). This present work by Bone is also derived from the work of Titian, and depicts the mythological princess Danaë, as narrated by Ovid and Boccaccio. The Venetian painter Titian and his workshop made at least six versions of Danaë (or Danaë and the Shower of Gold), between about 1544 and the 1560s. Ovid recounts how Danaë was confined to a bronze tower following a prophecy that her firstborn would kill her father. Depicted in this work is the moment that Danaë is seduced and becomes pregnant by Zeus, who descended from Mount Olympus to seduce her in the form of a shower of gold. The presence of Cupid on the left-hand side is emblematic of Zeus's desire.

Attributed to Charlotte Jones, British 1768-1847- Portrait of a noblewoman, possibly Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, bust-length, wearing a black gown with elaborate lace collar, a lace-trimmed black headdress, and gold and gem-set jewellery; watercolour on ivory, 8.2 x 6.3 cm, held in a gilt metal frame cast with rocaille motifs and a coronet finial. Ivory submission reference: D2SREBTK. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: This delicately painted portrait possibly depicts Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (1796-1817), and would have likely been painted around the end of the Princess's life or shortly after her untimely death. Princess Charlotte was the only child of George, Prince of Wales (later George IV) and Caroline of Brunswick. The Royal Collection describes her as the original 'People's Princess', and after her death from complications of childbirth in 1817 the nation mourned her passing, which saw the publication of many commemorative prints, and resulted in many portraits. After receiving her training from Richard Cosway (1742-1821), Charlotte Jones was appointed miniature painter to Princess Charlotte in 1808, and many of her portraits of the Princess are still held in the Royal Collection. The present portrait, with its finely picked-out shimmering jewellery and soft, blushing facial features, strongly recalls Charlotte Jones's depictions of the Princess, including her portrait of circa 1812 in the Royal Collection [RCIN 421481].

This scene accompanies a section of verse detailing Francis Drake's travels, with the circular compositions and curving lines conveying a sense of the swirling movement of the seas.

Charles Edward Brock, British 1870-1938- Illustrations from works by Charles Dickens, probably 'Great Expectations' and 'The Old Curiosity Shop'; pencil, watercolour and bodycolour on card, each signed 'C.E. BROCK' (lower right), each 31 x 20 cm., two (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Brock was a prolific illustrator, producing drawings for a number of Charles Dickens' (1812-1870) publications, alongside titles such as William Makepeace Thackeray's (1811-1863) 'Vanity Fair' and Jane Austen's (1775-1817) 'Pride and Prejudice'. Although the best-known illustrations for both 'Great Expectations' and 'The Old Curiosity Shop' were in fact by Henry Matthew Brock (1875-1960), Charles Edward's brother, the latter did also produce drawings for both of these titles. The present works appear to depict scenes from these works, including Nell's Grandfather with a customer in his titular 'Old Curiosity Shop', and the moment of Estella's introduction to Pip from 'Great Expectations'.

Aged 35 1895. / F Sandys' (upper right), 68 x 50.4 cm. Provenance: By family descent from the sitter to Jeremy MacLehose (before 2001). Published: B. Elzea, Frederick Sandys, 1829-1904: a Catalogue Raisonné, Antique Collectors' Club, 2001, p. 281, no. 5.17. Note: Sandys is associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and his artistic style was heavily influenced by that of his close friend, and founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882). Alongside his more dramatic historical and mythological scenes, such as his famous depictions of Morgan le Fay and Medea, Sandys also produced a number of somewhat more restrained and contemplative pastel portraits, like his portrait of 'A young woman, possibly Lady Florence Emily Hesketh' which is now held in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London [E.1391-1924]. Olive MacLehose (1859-1926), née MacMillan, was the daughter of Alexander MacMillan (1818-1896), co-founder of the Macmillan publishing house with his brother Daniel (1813-1857), who would become the grandfather of the future Prime Minister Harold Macmillan (1894-1986). Olive married Norman MacLehose, also from a publishing family, in 1886, just under 10 years before this portrait was completed. Olive's older sister, Margaret Helen MacMillan, was also portrayed by Sandys, in 1884 (Elzea, Sandys, cat. no. 4.42).

Note: Liverpool-born painter William Huggins was particularly well-known for his characterful and acutely observed depictions of animals. Tigers and lions appear to have been among his favourite subjects, and several studies of big cats by Huggins are preserved in museum collections, including the Victoria Gallery and Museum (acc. nos. FA.67 and FA.831) and the Walker Art Gallery (WAG 1754) in Liverpool. A 'head of a Bengal tiger' painted when the artist was just 18 years old was sold at Christie's, 23 November 2005, lot 162.

Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present watercolour is typical of Leloir's output, which consisted largely of genre scenes featuring historical or mythological subjects in fanciful, idealised settings. Leloir was heavily influenced by the work of his father, Jean-Baptiste Auguste Leloir (1809-1892), and his grandfather, Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798-1875), who himself had been a pupil of Girodet (1767-1824).

Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Simonetti was friends with the artist Marià Fortuny (1838-1874), with the two artists sharing a studio for a period.

He went on to become a founding member of the New English Art Club in 1886 and Master of the Art Workers' Guild in 1909, alongside his position at Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy. Clausen's approach was heavily influenced by that of the Impressionists, with his work exhibiting a fascination with the play of light in a landscape, and his loose application of pigment evoking the movement of foliage and grasses in the wind.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier, French 1808-1879- Don Quixote on horseback; pen and brown ink on paper, signed with initials 'h.D' (lower right), 21 x 17 cm. Provenance: as recorded in the Daumier Register, the collection of Count Z. Myzielski. as recorded in the Daumier Register, the collection of Harry J. Spiro, USA. Private Collection, UK. Literature: Maison, K.E., Honoré Daumier: Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, Watercolours and Drawings, vol. 2 (Greenwich, Conn., 1968), plate 143. Laughton, Bruce, The Drawings of Daumier and Millet (New Haven and London, 1991), p. 183, 1991. Daumier Register online, no.10422. Note: Daumier was a renowned painter, draughtsman and caricaturist, known for his humorous though also often poignant and realistic portrayals of life in nineteenth-century France. While best known, both during his lifetime and after, for his politically and socially critical cartoons, which were widely circulated in magazines such as Le Charivari and La Caricature, Daumier also achieved some acclaim among his own circle as a painter, with the writer Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) remarking: "there is a lot of Michelangelo in that fellow." A multifaceted artist, Daumier also worked in the medium of sculpture, and a number of his painted clay caricature busts of politicians and society figures are in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, where many of the artist's sketches are also held. Daumier appears to have been fascinated by the literary subject of Don Quixote and often turned to Miguel de Cervantes' early 17th-century epic novel for inspiration, creating over sixty drawings and paintings featuring Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza roaming the Spanish plains. The Daumier Register compares the present drawing to a number of other known examples, including one recorded in the Armand Hammer Daumier and Contemporaries Collection (Los Angels CA, accession no. AH.1990.1.4588). Daumier also shows Don Quixote in a similar pose in several of his paintings, such as the one in the collection of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (A I 976), in which the literary hero is accompanied by his squire Sancho Panza. The Daumier Register describes how in these works 'we see a difficult descent, in which Don Quixote is carefully leading his horse down a steep hill.'

Arthur Melville, RWS ARSA, Scottish 1855-1904- Street scene, France; pencil and watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed and dated 'A. Melville. / 1878' (lower left), 26.8 x 43.6 cm. Provenance: with Weiner Gallery, New York. Private Collection. Note: Melville studied at the Royal Scottish Academy School under James Campbell Noble (1845-1913) before enrolling at the Académie Julian in Paris, where he was introduced to key figures of the Impressionist movement by his fellow Scot Robert Weir Allan (1851-1942). Melville was heavily influenced by the work of the Impressionists, particularly that of Claude Monet (1840-1926). Indeed, Melville is thought to have been particularly struck by Monet's 'Les Dindons' of 1876, echoes of which can very much be felt in the present composition, most obviously in the spots of white on the figures' headscarves. The present work, executed during Melville's studies in Paris, reveals the artist's embrace of the innovative artistic approaches which he encountered in his early years in the city, and exhibits the loose style with spots of bold colour which would come to characterise Melville's work, and which in turn has been cited as an influence on groups such as the Glasgow Boys. The subject matter of the present work, depicting a bustling, tree-lined Parisian street, renders it particularly interesting, setting it apart from the Middle Eastern street scenes which define much of Melville's oeuvre.

Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria - a transcription of a telegram by the German Emperor Wilhelm II reporting about his visit to the Tsar in 1912 Double sheet, dated "Anfang Juli 1912" in red pencil on the upper margin, the telegram text in black ink with introduction "Nachstehendes Telegramm wurde soeben von der kaiserlich deutschen Botschaft hieramts übergeben: an den Kaiser von Österreich und apostolisch. King of Hungary. Majesty, I have to inform you that I have been informed for both of us by my Entrevue. Found Tsar tidy and communicative. [...] The cheerfulness and vigorous appearance of the heir to the throne are the best denial of the unfavorable rumors circulating about his condition. Both I and the Imperial Chancellor had a series of detailed conversations with the Tsar as well as with the Ministers Mr. Kokovtsov and Mr. Sazonov.
