Literature: Alan Bowness (ed.), Henry Moore, Sculpture and Drawings, vol. III: Sculpture 1955-64, London 1965, n° 381 (another cast ill. pl. 15b); Alan Bowness (ed.), Henry Moore, Sculpture and Drawings, vol. III: 1955-1964, London 1986, n° 381 (another cast ill. p. 21); Henry Moore Foundation (eds.), The Henry Moore Artwork Catalogue, online catalogue, n° LH 381 Background information: Upright Motive was the first in a series of narrow vertical sculptures by Moore, which he compared to totem poles. The Upright Motives were part of a large commission for the courtyard of the new Olivetti building in Milan. When he visited the site, 'a lone Lombardy poplar growing behind the building convinced me that a vertical work would act as the correct counterfoil to the horizontal rhythm of the building. This idea ultimately grew into the : Upright Motifs.'

Jan Boeckhorst (Münster 1604-1668 Antwerp) Henri IV at the Battle of Ivry, 17th century Pen and Brown ink, watercolour and gouache, heightened with whith and red wash on paper 20 x 29.1 cm 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. The gallery is grateful to Stijn Alsteens of the Fondation Custodia for his attribution of the drawing to Jan Boeckhorst.

Very Fine Late 18th-Century George III Satinwood Rosewood Cross Banded Marquetry Secrétaire Bureau Bookcase An exceptional late 18th-century George III Sheraton period satinwood secrétaire bureau bookcase, beautifully crossbanded in rosewood and richly inlaid throughout. The upper section features a finely shaped, moulded and inlaid cornice, surmounted by turned finials to the domed top. Below sit two elegant glazed doors with rosewood crossbanding and intricate inlaid astragal mouldings, complete with brass escutcheons, key and working lock. The doors open to reveal three adjustable shelves, perfect for displaying books, porcelain or other treasured pieces. The lower bureau section has an impressive cylinder front, the finely figured satinwood fall with detailed inlays, rosewood crossbanding and profuse floral marquetry. The fall opens to reveal a beautifully arranged fitted interior with a pull-out sliding tray, drawers, pigeonholes and an adjustable writing slope, a superb combination of practicality and elegance. Beneath this are a pair of well figured satinwood cupboard doors, again crossbanded and richly inlaid with floral marquetry, opening to an adjustable shelf for additional storage. The whole piece stands on its original, elegant rosewood crossbanded splayed feet, and retains its original panelled oak backboards. From the cornice to the sides, glazed section, bureau front, cupboards and feet, the entire bookcase is inlaid and crossbanded, a clear mark of its quality. Made in England circa 1790, this bureau bookcase displays a wonderful rich satinwood colour and a superb original condition. The figured satinwood, combined with the delicate inlays and marquetry, has developed a warm, mellow patina that speaks of age and refinement. A distinguished example of Georgian cabinetmaking, this very fine bureau bookcase combines exceptional craftsmanship, architectural presence and practical function. It would make a superb focal point in a drawing room, library or study, and is an ideal choice for any refined interior seeking a statement piece of genuine period quality.

After the antique, Chiurazzi Foundry (attributed to) Naples, second half of the 19th century Bronze head of a man (possibly Dionysus) Bronze on original Rosso Antico marble socle H 70 cm Provenance: private collection at Chateau De Pesselières, France Literature: Fonderia Chiurazzi, Napoli, catalogue n° 1 'Dionisio o Platone - Bronzo da Ercolano 1741.' A finely cast bronze by the Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, after the celebrated antique excavated at Herculaneum in 1741 and now preserved in the Museo Nazionale di Napoli (inv. 5618). The model is recorded in the Chiurazzi Foundry catalogue as 'n° 1 - Dionisio o Platone - Bronzo da Ercolano 1741', indicating both the foundry’s internal model number and the Naples museum inventory of the original. The figure’s soft modelling, elaborate curls and bound taenia are characteristic of Hellenistic representations of Dionysus, though early scholars, struck by the introspective expression, also proposed identifications with Plato or other philosophers. Modern scholarship accepts the Dionysian attribution. Chiurazzi held exclusive rights to reproduce works from the Naples collections, issuing casts directly from museum models for export to collectors and institutions across Europe and America. This example, with its even dark patination and original Rosso Antico marble socle, reflects the exceptional quality for which the foundry became renowned.
