Jan Boeckhorst (Münster 1604-1668 Antwerp) Henri IV at the Battle of Ivry, 17th century Pen and brown ink, watercolour and gouache, heightened with white and red wash on paper 20 x 29.1 cm The gallery is grateful to Stijn Alsteens of the Fondation Custodia for his attribution of the drawing to Jan Boeckhorst In 1622, Maria de' Medici signed a contract with Rubens for two series of twenty-four paintings. The first series depicted her own life story, the other the heroic deeds of her husband: Henri IV. As was his custom, Rubens worked on this commission together with some of his pupils and assistants. The successful king had been assassinated 12 years earlier whilst riding through Paris in an open carriage. He had brought an end to the fierce civil war between Protestants and Catholics and did not shy away from doing the heavy lifting on the battlefield himself. What was intended to be a tribute to one of France’s bravest leaders turned out to be a damp squib. Due to turmoil at court, the series about the famous battle near Paris remained unfinished. This dynamic and finely worked drawing captures the dramatic moment of the Battle of Ivry (1590), where King Henri IV led his forces to a decisive victory during the French Wars of Religion. Executed in pen and brown ink and enriched with watercolour and gouache, the composition is animated by vigorous movement and strong contrasts of light and shadow. The artist heightens the scene with touches of white and red wash, emphasising the glint of armour, the energy of the horses, and the intensity of the clash. The central figure of Henri IV, mounted and illuminated, commands the composition, surrounded by swirling troops and fallen adversaries. Ethereal figures above the battlefield introduce a sense of divine favour, a motif often associated with royal propaganda of the period. Despite its relatively intimate scale, the sheet conveys remarkable grandeur and narrative force, making it a compelling example of late 16th‑ to early 17th‑century battle imagery.

An Empire writing table Jacob Frères, Paris, circa 1796-1803 Mahogany and gilded bronze H 73 x W 86.5 x D 54 cm Stamped JACOB FRÈRES Provenance: Ségoura collection, Paris Literature: Michel Beurdeley, Jacob et son temps, Saint-Rémy-en-l'Eau, 2002, p. 83, illustrated as belonging to the Ségoura collection The rectangular top is supported by four female caryatids in patinated and gilt bronze, modelled as canephorae, their bodies joined by an X-form stretcher. The table bears the stamp JACOB FRÈRES / RUE MESLÉE, used between 1796 and 1803 by the brothers Georges II Jacob (1768-1803) and François-Honoré-Georges Jacob, later known as Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841). The brothers, sons of the celebrated Parisian menuisier Georges Jacob (1739–1814), took over their father's workshop in 1796 and produced furniture of marked neoclassical character, employing mahogany and richly chased gilt-bronze mounts in response to the developing Directoire and Consular taste.
