  • Original sketch book of this renowned portraitist by NOLHAC, Henri de; NOLHAC, Pierre
    NOLHAC, Henri de; NOLHAC, Pierre
    Original sketch book of this renowned portraitist

    Versaille: 1900. A fascinating sketchbook by the artist and portraitist Henri de Nolhac (1884-1948). He was the son of Pierre de Nolhac, the curator of the Palace of Versailles Museum during his youth. From a young age, he was a painter, and particularly skilled in pencil portraits, which he used to make his living. This sketchbook, with a cloth spine and plain blue boards, seems to have begun life as an itinerary book / plan for his father. A note on the front end paper "2e Division 1er Brigade" and to the final page "Cours special d'instruction 3e Brigade (1890-91)" is followed by seven pages in ink, dated 1890-1891 in an adult hand. This seems to be largely assigning projects…

    Versaille: 1900. A fascinating sketchbook by the artist and portraitist Henri de Nolhac (1884-1948). He was the son of Pierre de Nolhac, the curator of the Palace of Versailles Museum during his youth. From a young age, he was a painter, and particularly skilled in pencil portraits, which he used to make his living. This sketchbook, with a cloth spine and plain blue boards, seems to have begun life as an itinerary book / plan for his father. A note on the front end paper "2e Division 1er Brigade" and to the final page "Cours special d'instruction 3e Brigade (1890-91)" is followed by seven pages in ink, dated 1890-1891 in an adult hand. This seems to be largely assigning projects (or elements of the instruction course). As the text ends, the pencil sketches immediately begin. It is unlikely that Henri took up this book immediately, as in 1890 he was only 7 years old and these are mature sketches. Most of the entries are of 19th century scenes, and some portraits of eminent men from the time. There are also American civil war notables and a couple of cowboys. (Nolhac travelled to the United States in the 1930s so perhaps he drew these after that visit). Studies include sketches after Daumier, characters in Chinese dress, fashionable ladies, a lovely ink and pencil sketch of Lamartine, military uniforms, a full page colour sketch of a couple promenading, Generals Grant and Lee from the USA, horses running, Gladstone, Thackeray and two of Disraeli. There are 55 pages, each drawn to the recto only, and mostly holding 4-6 sketches. Curiously these are all dated 1863-1871 but this is before Henri was born (and his father was only born in 1859). It seems far more likely that these were pencil studies and practice pieces. Nolhac was known for improving his skills throughout his life. There are then a number of blank leaves. The sketch book is obviously picked up again towards the end of Nolhac's life. It is begun afresh from the rear page (upside down to the front) and there are nine pages of sketches. There is a pencil title "1e anniversaire a XXXX" (illegible, but from the contents this is clearly the liberation). The nine pages are full of studies of American troops and vehicles. There is also a full page, colour highlighted sketch entitled "Le libération á Sens 25.8.44 la grande rue." Sens was liberated by American troops on the 20th August 1944. In total, this sketch book contains 64 pages of sketches, including three in colour and one in ink. A total of 238 studies. Nolhac died in 1948. 305 x 200 mm (12 x 7¾ inches). A very similar sketch book (209 studies but with the subject entirely focused on World War I) was sold at auction in 2014 for 2875 euros (including fees). Comparing the styles has confirmed the provenance of this sketch book. First edition

    . Un fascinant carnet de croquis de l'artiste et portraitiste Henri de Nolhac (1884-1948). Il est le fils de Pierre de Nolhac, conservateur du musée du château de Versailles dans sa jeunesse. Peintre dès son plus jeune âge, il est particulièrement doué pour les portraits au crayon, qui lui permettent de gagner sa vie. Ce carnet de croquis, avec un dos en toile et des planches bleues unies, semble avoir commencé sa vie comme un carnet d'itinéraire / plan pour son père. Une note sur la page de garde "2e Division 1ère Brigade" et sur la dernière page "Cours spécial d'instruction 3e Brigade (1890-91)" est suivie de sept pages à l'encre, datées de 1890-1891 de la main d'un adulte. Il semble qu'il s'agisse en grande partie de l'attribution de projets (ou d'éléments du cours d'instruction). À la fin du texte, les esquisses au crayon commencent immédiatement. Il est peu probable qu'Henri ait pris ce livre immédiatement, car en 1890 il n'avait que 7 ans et il s'agit d'esquisses de maturité. La plupart des dessins représentent des scènes du XIXe siècle et quelques portraits d'hommes éminents de l'époque. Il y a également des notables de la guerre civile américaine et quelques cow-boys (Nolhac s'est rendu aux États-Unis dans les années 1930 et a peut-être dessiné ces croquis après cette visite). Les études comprennent des croquis d'après Daumier, des personnages en costume chinois, des dames à la mode, une belle esquisse à l'encre et au crayon de Lamartine, des uniformes militaires, une esquisse en couleur pleine page d'un couple en train de se promener, les généraux Grant et Lee des États-Unis, des chevaux en train de courir, Gladstone, Thackeray et deux portraits de Disraeli. Il y a 55 pages, chacune dessinée au recto seulement, et contenant pour la plupart 4 à 6 esquisses. Curieusement, elles sont toutes datées de 1863-1871, mais c'est avant la naissance d'Henri (et son père n'est né qu'en 1859). Il semble beaucoup plus probable qu'il s'agisse d'études au crayon et d'exercices. Nolhac était connu pour se perfectionner tout au long de sa vie. Il y a ensuite un certain nombre de feuilles blanches. Le carnet de croquis est manifestement repris vers la fin de la vie de Nolhac. Il est recommencé à partir de la dernière page (à l'envers par rapport au recto) et comporte neuf pages d'esquisses. Le titre est écrit au crayon "1e anniversaire a XXXX" (illisible, mais d'après le contenu, il s'agit clairement de la libération). Les neuf pages sont remplies d'études de troupes et de véhicules américains. Il y a également un croquis pleine page en couleur intitulé "Le libération á Sens 25.8.44 la grande rue". Sens a été libéré par les troupes américaines le 20 août 1944. Au total, ce carnet de croquis contient 64 pages de croquis, dont trois en couleur et une à l'encre. Soit un total de 238 études. Nolhac est décédé en 1948. 305 x 200 mm (12 x 7¾ inches). Un carnet de croquis très similaire (209 études mais dont le sujet est entièrement centré sur la Première Guerre mondiale)a été vendu aux enchères en 2014 pour 2875 euros (frais inclus). La comparaison des styles a permis de confirmer la provenance de ce carnet de croquis. Première édition

The painting is signed, but we cannot decipher its creator's name. The wedding dedication is dated 1895, so the painting pre dates this. Blank verso. Size: 405 x 305 mm (16 x 12 inches)

    [ANON]
    Original Watercolour: View from Castle at Richmond of the River Swale (North Yorkshire)

    1876. Lovely original watercolour painting of the view across the River Swale in North Yorkshire, from Richmond Castle Hill - with a couple in the foreground. The painting is signed, but we cannot agree and the signature. At some point a previous owner was told it was a painting of the river at Richmond Castle, and assumed it was Richmond in Surrey, when in fact Richmond Castle is in Richmond in Yorkshire, and looks over the River Swale, not the Thames! Tipped on to white card, corners cut to resemble being in an album. Watercolour measures: 205 x 350 mm (8 x 13¾ inches). Whole on backing: 400 x 495 mm

    Original-Graphik von Ernst Barlach

    1870. The label to the back of this black and white image states " Original-Graphik von Ernst Barlach" The image is clearly of Barlach. But it appears to be a lithograph of an ink original, rather than an actual ink drawing. It is difficult to be certain, as the paper has been secured to the glass at the edges, and could not neatly be removed (So we have left it secured). Although the image has marked similarities with other drawn works of Barlach, we have been unable to locate another copy of this image.

It is difficult to be certain, as the paper has been secured to the glass at the edges, and could not neatly be removed (So we have left it secured). Although the image has marked similarities with other drawn works of Barlach, we have been unable to locate another copy of this image. There is possibly an artist's initials to the lower right of the frame (see pics). Underneath the frame, to the rear of the image, is written "6 abels wie ist 883" It is on heavy art paper, and in very good clean condition. Held in a white glazed frame. The frame has a few tiny nicks to the edges, but overall an attractive and striking portrait.
    Image area 53cm wide by 35 cm high (13¾ by 20¾ inches). Frame area 67cm x 52.5cm. Ernst Heinrich Barlach (1870-1978) was a German expressionist sculptor, printmaker and writer. Although he was a supporter of the war in the years leading to World War I, his participation in the war made him change his position, and he is mostly known for his sculptures protesting against the war. He felt foul of the Nazi party and was labeled degenerate. He did produce a number of self-portraits - largely woodcuts.

    BETTENS. Edward D.
    Painter and Patron. [TOGETHER WITH] Picture Buying

    New York: Self Published, 1918. Two works, offered together, on the subject of the acquisition of artworks by American museums. Both written by Edward Detraz Bettens. His mother (Louise E Bettens) had been a patron of the Fogg Museum's art collection. Each work was printed in 650 copies (un-numbered) for private circulation (it seems primarily among institutions and art buyers). The theme of each is to encourage and outline reasons for buying artwork directly from living artists, rather than through brokers. Picture Buying is the sequel, and much of it is containing responses and letters regarding the original publication. Both in green cloth, with high quality laid paper. 66, 88 pages + photographic plates. 250 by 160mm (9¾ by 6¼ inches).

    Condition: Both books are in very good condition, with the original green cloth and gilt clean and bright. Vol 1. has a touch of fading to the top edge. Inside, both works are clean, with a little darkening only. Both bear the bookplate and discrete reference library stamps for the Prentenkabinet of the University of Leiden.
