'Evariste Carpentier nous oblige à quitter ce coin hivernal du Brabant, pour admirer l’estival et Paisible hameau de Logne ; ceci est une page radieuse, la meilleure qu’ait signé ce maître fécond et divers. En ce site, d’un pittoresque fermement établi, l’ombre transparente des premiers plans s’opposent à l’ardent et léger ensoleillement des fonds. L’observation interprétative est accusée par la vérité des plans, obtenus par la ligne des éléments aussi bien que par les valeurs du coloris et la distribution de la lumière, qui se répète dans l’onde vive d’un ruisseau dont deux vaches suivent le bord. Une impression heureuse se dégage de cette œuvre qu’on peut considérer comme un beau poème pastoral.'

Large Antler Coat Stand by J. Parker of Woodstock. England, circa 1850 A striking and rare antler and oak hall stand attributed to J. Parker of Woodstock, noted cabinetmaker and upholsterer active in the 1850s. The central pole bears a diamond registration plaque, dating the original design to 15 January 1852, when it would have been registered with the National Patent Office. Given the close proximity of Woodstock to the Blenheim Park Estate and its historic deer herd, it is highly likely that the antlers used in this piece originate from Blenheim. A closely related, documented example is held in the collection of the National Trust at Speke Hall, England. This wonderfully sculptural stand is composed of interlaced antlers and oak, forming an elegant rack for hats and coats. The lower section incorporates a basin for umbrellas and walking sticks, retaining its original tole liner, all raised on bun feet. The whole is mounted on a solid oak barley twist column, topped by a turned finial, lending both movement and architectural presence. Darkly toned with a rich, well developed patina, the stand embodies the lodge style aesthetic so prized in the late 19th-century. Robust hardwood construction and finely worked antlers demonstrate high quality craftsmanship and enduring stability. Antler furniture rose to prominence following the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, London, 1851, where such pieces were presented as fashionable novelties of modern living. Designers such as the German horn carver and furniture maker H. F. C. Rampendahl helped to establish this distinctive genre, which was soon produced in series for an aspiring European middle class. Both practical and highly decorative, this unusual 19th-century antler and oak hall stand is ideal for an entrance hall, where it serves not only as a functional piece for coats, hats and umbrellas, but also as a true conversation piece and a statement of refined country house style. Height 210cm (82.7in) Diameter 57cm (22.4in)

Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928-1987 New York) Patty Raynes and son, 1985 Acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas 102 x 102 cm Signed on the reverse and dated 'Andy Warhol 85' Provenance: Patty Raynes, USA (1985 directly acquired from the artist); private collection, USA (2022 acquired from the above) In 1985, Patty Raynes commissioned two works, this one with a yellow background and a second one with a white background. ‘Patty Raynes and Son’ from 1985 is one of a series of portraits in which Warhol no longer exclusively depicted global celebrities, but increasingly portrayed members of his social environment - individuals whose social position exerted a symbolic aura, even if they remained outside the pop-cultural canon. Patty Raynes came from a respected family of American industrialists, socialite and daughter of oil tycoon Marvin Davis, a fact that inevitably lends the work the character of a status portrait. Warhol, who was always concerned with the relationship between appearance and identity, addresses the portrait here as an expression of social affiliation. The subject, the depiction of a mother and child, is immediately reminiscent of the archetypal motifof the Madonna and Child. Warhol adopts this traditional pictorial form but transforms it into a contemporary icon: the sacred content isdisrupted by the screen-printing technique, giving the scene a cool, distanced character. Patty Haynes and son emerge from this mature period in Warhol’s oeuvre, when the artist extended his repertoire of subjects to include his panoply of famous friends, artists, actors, and socialites. A collection idolising the who’s who of New York, Warhol intended for the 40 by 40-inch series to be exhibited together in a 'Portrait of Society', a dream eventually realized at the artist’s retrospective Andy Warhol - From A to B and Back Again at the Whitney Museum in New York in 2018.
