The present work belongs to a group of manuscripts which celebrated the Venetian Republic and its rulers. They were granted to individual Venetian patricians upon their election to highly ranked offces of state. After the tenure of their offce ended, the patricians were given the manuscripts which were then kept in the family archive as an evidence of the distinguished service to the Republic served by their family member (see H.K. Szepe, ‘Painters and patrons in Venetian documents’, Bollettino
dei Musei Civici Veneziani, 8, 2013, pp. 25- 41, and p. 34 for a discussion of Merli’s work).
This illumination celebrates the civic virtue of Luca Michiel, Procurator of San Marco under the rule the Doge Alvise Mocenigo (1570-77). Michiel was celebrated by Francesco Sansovino as ‘standing out among his peers for his military and civic virtue’ (F. Sansovino, Venetia: Città Nobilissima et
Singolare, Venice, 1581, p. 280).
We are grateful to Helena K. Szepe for her help in cataloguing this lot.

(2)
£4,000-6,000 $6,500-9,600� Ç5,100-7,600
This drawing is part of a series of 17th-century Spanish works relating to the Ars Moriendi, a devotional Medieval exercise practised throughout the Counter-Reformation, which illustrated the different moments in the Christian preparation for death. Each drawing represents a parallel with an episode of Christ’s Passion which is shown as pictures within a picture (see Z. Véliz, Spanish Drawings in The Courtauld Gallery, Complete Catalogue, London, 2011, under no. 18): in the present work an angel points to an image on the wall which illustrates the episode of Christ washing the feet
of his disciples.
Stylistically, the drawing is close to another work by Pereda for the same series showing a very similar scene, today in the Louvre Museum, Paris (inv. no. RF43250; L. Boubli, Musée du Louvre. Inventaire general des
dessins: Ecole Espagnole XVI-XVIII siècle, Paris, 2002, no. 116).

Sir Francis Watson noted in his records that he had been motivated to buy this drawing because Ducros had exercized so signifcant an infuence on the development of watercolour drawing in England, particularly on draughtsmen such as John Robert Cozens (1752-1797) and J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). His drawings were also much admired by Sir Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead. The present drawing dates from Ducros’s frst visit to Naples and its surroundings in 1778 while he was accompanying Nicolaas Ten Hove on a journey to Sicily.

The present striking drawing of Uriel revealing himself to Satan, certainly shows the infuence of Fuseli, under whom Haydon studied. Haydon was said to have been transfxed as a child by an engraving of this subject by Fuseli. He was very pleased with the fnished work, thinking the archangel’s head the fnest thing he had ever done. The present drawing suggests that the initial sketches were done from the Antique. The oil painting, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1845, no. 605 is now lost, although there was an engraving after it published in the Illustrated
London News. However, it was almost certainly painted on a grandscale as was Haydon’s manner. In the scene from Milton’s Paradise Lost Satan is disguised as a ’strippling cherub having just deceived Uriel, Regent of the Sun, into directing him to earthly paradise, he glances back furtively at the gigantic fgure of the archangel’. The painting was puchased by Haydon’s patron Edward Dennys.

£1,000-1,500 $1,700-2,400� Ç1,300-1,900
It has not been possible to identify the sisters with absolute certainty. The pastel has previously been sold with the title Harriet and April Fortescue and Harriet and Anne Fortescue and with the note that Harriet and her sister later became the Hon. Mrs George Knox and Mrs Parkinson Buxton respectively. This previous cataloguing identifes Harriet as the daughter of Thomas Fortescue and his second Wife Mary Nicolson. Fortescue had a daughter Anna Maria by his frst wife. As the provenance is given as the Marques of Lothian this help helps to strengthen this identifcation as the 5th Marquess of Lothian was married to Thomas Fortescue’s sister Elizabeth (1745-1780); children of Chichester Fortescue (1718-1757) and Elizabeth Wesley. However it appears that the girls would be six years apart in age, which seems less credible from their portrait. Other possible candidates from the Fortescue family come with similar diffculties of age and differences in name.
There is another version of the present pastel, at Duff House, Aberdeenshire.

Sets of engravings of itinerant performers, hawkers and traders had been popular in Europe for centuries and ballads incorporating their street cries have been performed since the 15th Century. In 1688 Marcellus Laroon the Elder frst published his Cryes of the City of London, and these proved so popular they were regularly reissued throughout the 18th Century. They were issued in a revised state with changes to the costumes and faces by Louis-Philippe Boitard in 1750.
Only one set of twelve images of London Cries was published. Yet, Sandby produced numerous others. The present lot was formerly part of an almost complete album which was dispersed in these Rooms in 1965, and a number of drawings for the Cries are now in public institutions.

The present drawing depicts a lecture on astronomy. The lecturer is pointing to an astronomical device which is demonstrating the principle of elliptical orbits of the planets. The larger orb that he is pointing to represents the sun and the two smaller the earth and the moon. The usual device used to discuss the orbit of the planets, the orrery, was frst designed in the early 18th Century, circa 1704 by the clockmakers George Graham and Thomas Tompion. They usually represent circular orbits but the present device is more elliptical, so it is diffcult to judge whether the device is meant to be an orrery or whether it is some other device. 158 No Lot
The 18th Century saw increased general interest in the sciences, with public lectures becoming more and more popular and scientists travelling around the country demonstrating scientifc instruments, experiments and principles. This burgeoning interest is demonstrated by paintings such as Joseph Wright of Derby’s A Philosopher lecturing on the Orrery, painted circa 1766 (Derby Museum and Art Gallery) and An Experiment on a
bird in an Air Pump, 1768 (National Gallery, London). George Romney’s Newton with the Prism, was also widely disseminated through engravings in the early 19th Century.
We are grateful to Rosemary Harden of the Fashion Museum, Bath for her help in dating the costumes of the sitters to late 1720s or 1730s. The seated fgure is wearing the fashionable undress of the period, of banyan or dressing gown and soft cap or nightcap. There are a number of portraits of artists and scientists wearing such costumes, including Sir Issac Newton (1643-1727).

Reynolds records this drawing as ‘untraced’. It is an exciting rediscovery of an unusual view of Dedham, a village about six miles from Constable’s home in East Bergholt. The church and neighbouring vicarage are the central focus of the composition which is a different vantage point from Constable’s other Dedham drawings of 1815. Other drawings depict the village and tall church tower from a distance, nestled in the landscape (see op.cit., nos. 15.44, 15.44a, 15.45, 15.46). Constable’s focus on the architecture may have been inspired by the re-modelling with gothic embellishments of the vicarage (on the right of the church) in 1815.
The present sheet is from a large sketch book of laid paper, which Constable was using in 1814 and in 1815 and which measured approximately 3æ x 6º (9.6 x 15.8 cm).

Girtin and Loshak, op. cit., p. 136 suggests that the present drawing is after one by Edward Dayes, dated 1792, which was sold in these Rooms, 14 March 1952, lot 221. The drawing by Dayes was taken from an ‘on the spot’ sketch by James Moore, executed on 22 May 1789. The subject matter refects the antiquarian interests of Moore, Girtin’s frst patron, while stylistically, the infuence of Edward Dayes, to whom Girtin was apprenticed at this time, can be seen: Davies, loc. cit., notes the similarity between the present work and the Dayes drawing, ‘It would be diffcult to fnd any other instance of so perfect an assimilation of a master’s methods which is neither a copy nor a servile imitation, but simply an independent work done in a manner and with something more of the skill of the master’.

The present drawing relates to the second volume of drawings by John Roberts Cozens at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester. It was probably executed from a tracing of the Whitworth drawing, which is now in the Beaumont Album of tracings at the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven.
The pencil work in the present watercolour was executed by Thomas Girtin with the wash being applied by Turner and was executed when Turner and Girtin were in the drawing academy of Dr Thomas Monro. The artist Joseph Farington (1747-1821), also associated with the academy, wrote in his Diary of 11 November 1798: ‘Girtin drew the outlines and Turner washed in the effects’.

Cozens and Francis Towne were to follow his example. On Pars’ return, he exhibited eight works at the Royal Academy, works which Binyon called 'the earliest revelation of the high Alps to the untravelled English'.

De Wint frst visited Glamorgan in 1824. In the present watercolour, De Wint has modifed the topography surrounding the ruins to include mountains, which in reality are not there. Furthermore, as Andrew Wyld noted in his catalogue, the artist has ‘placed a tree to obscure the rather incongruous classical temple built in the 1740s by John Wood of Bath within the ruined nave’ (loc.cit.). De Wint was seeking to emphasise the romantic ruin, particularly as by 1848, extensive building work was underway to restore the cathedral.

Callow visited Le Havre on numerous occasions from 1835. Callow stated in his autobiography, that ‘In 1843 I exhibited a painting of the ‘Port of Havre at the Old Society. It was purchased by Mr Prinsep as a gift for a distinguished Indian, Dwarkanath Tagore, as it represented the place from which he embarked for England...[this drawing was] subsequently sent to him in India’ (Cundall, op. cit, p. 89).

Callow undertook his frst visit to Italy including Verona, in the autumn of 1841. He described Verona as having ‘whole streets of fne palaces, intermingled with Roman and other antiquities’. Following his second trip of 1846 he wrote, ‘to my mind it ranks next to Venice in point of interest. The market-place was a great source of interest to us; Italian ladies with black veils wandered about and making purchases at the stalls covered with huge white umbrellas made an animated scene’ (op. cit., p. 98). The Piazza della Erbe is Roman in origin and originally served as the town’s forum, today it is still at the heart of the city.

During the summer of 1836, Callow undertook a walking tour through Southern France, which he recorded in detail in his dairy. He arrived in Marseilles via steamer from Arles on 24 July and recorded the fne view that this method of travel afforded of the port, with the mountains behind. It was probably this arrival which inspired the present watercolour.
There are at least two other similar views of the port of Marseilles. In about 1837, he was asked to produce two watercolours for lottery prizes for the Société des Amis des Arts and one of these was a view of the ‘Port of Marseilles’, which was won by King Louis-Philippe. A further watercolour of the same subject was exhibited at the ‘Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour’ in 1884 and is now in Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museums, Burnley.

In 1810 Cotman began producing architectural etchings and the strong, linear quality of the present watercolour clearly derives from this practice. Although Cotman made various tours to France in search of material for publication, (he made three tours to Normandy in 1817, 1818 and 1820) he never visited Spain. However, his friend and former pupil, the Rev. James Bulwer, who travelled in Spain, Portugal and Madeira, allowed Cotman the use of his sketchbooks. At least two other views similar to this one have been described as being of Toledo; one illustrated in G. Holme, The Water-

Lear frst visited Sicily in the spring of 1842 returning in the early summer of 1847. He caught the steamer to Palermo, where he was met by John Proby, heir to the Earl of Carysfort, who wished to learn sketching from Lear. On 11 May they set out together, travelling all round the island, visiting Syracuse and Mount Etna. Of Girgente Lear wrote to his sister Ann ‘Nothing on earth can be so beautiful as Girgente with its 6 temples – I speak of the old town and the fowers and birds are beyond imagination lovely’.
Franklin Lushington (1823-1901) and Lear met on a voyage to Malta in the spring of 1849. They formed a close and life-long friendship. Lushington was the executor of Lear’s estate; Lear left all his papers and paintings to him, and the proceeds from the sale of the Villa Tennyson and its contents went to Franklin’s eldest daughter Louisa Gertrude.
Lear visited Egypt four times and the present view dates to his frst trip when after nine months of travelling through the eastern Mediterranean, he arrived in Cairo on 6 January 1849. On February 6 he and his friend John Cross set off on camels from Cairo to Sinai and Palestine. They spent three nights at the monastery at Sinai, but Lear took a fever and was forced to give up the trip and convalesce at Suez.

A pupil of his uncle, the American painter, Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828), Gilbert Stuart Newton moved to Europe in 1817, initially visiting Italy and Paris before arriving in London. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1832, but by 1834 he began to lose his mind and was admitted to an asylum in Chelsea, where he died the following year. Landseer and Newton appear to have been friends, and had a number of close friends in common.
Colonel John Home Purves (c.1816-1867) was Equerry and Comptroller of the Household to HRH the Duchess of Cambridge (1797-1889). The stamp ‘Invergarry’ on the sheet refers to a part of the Ellice’s considerable estate and the drawing formed part of a group of studies made by Landseer when he was staying with Edward Ellice at his hunting lodge, Glenquoich Lodge.

London, Royal Academy of Arts, Millais Exhibition, 1967, no. 106, lent by Mr and Mrs Watson.
This drawing offers an important insight into alternative compositions considered by Millais for his sombre painting, the North West Passage
(Tate, London). In the drawing the old mariner points to a globe ‘where the ship broke up’ which refers to Sir John Franklin’s fateful voyage to fnd a sea route to the East via the Arctic in 1845. The globe does not appear in the fnished painting. The lower sketch suggests that Millais considered placing two fgures beside the mariner while the fnished painting depicts only one fgure, a young girl.

Burne-Jones’ celebrated painting, The Sleep of King Arthur in Avalon (Museo de Arte, Ponce, Puerto Rico) is his largest and fnal painting. It was begun in 1881 as a mural for the library at Naworth Castle, the Cumbrian home of his friend and patron George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle (1843-1911). It is possible that the present drawings were executed by Burne-Jones’ studio assistant, Thomas Matthew Rooke (1842-1942). Rooke trained at South Kensington and the Royal Academy Schools before being taken on as Burne-Jones’s studio assistant in 1869 where he continued to work until his master’s death in 1898. Rooke was a skilled artist in his own right and the fne detail of these drawings is typical of his hand.

This study relates to the last painting in a series of seven illustrating the legend of St George. The fnished oil, Saint George and the Dragon: The return of the
Princess (Bristol City Art Gallery) shows Princess Sabra walking hand in hand with St George while female musicians form a procession around them. The paintings were commissioned in 1865 by Myles Birket Foster (1825-1899) to decorate his home at Witley, Surrey. Burne-Jones made a preliminary set of highly fnished pencil drawings, six of which are at the British Museum and there are more than sixty preparatory drawings in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery collection.

This portrait can be dated to circa 1869-79 on account of the dress and hat. The sitter is not otherwise known but Tissot often drew pencil sketches for his friends that were independent studies in their own right. For another example of a lively pencil portrait see K.

Legros moved from France to London in 1863 where he found success as an etcher, sculptor and painter. In 1876 he became Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School. With artists such as William Holman Hunt, Legros was part of a revival of the silverpoint technique which allowed for a clarity of line evident in this striking portrait. Several other silverpoint drawings by Legros are held in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

P R O V E N A N C E :
with Agnew’s, London, where purchased by William E. Fredeman.
The original, oil version of this well-known satire on the Pre-Raphaelites was exhibited at the Portland Gallery in the spring of 1860 and was subsequently engraved, appearing in the Illustrated London News on 2 June. There are also at least four watercolour versions all differing in detail from each other and from the oil. Twelve years since the formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848, the movement still aroused intense controversy and was the subject of jokes and ridicule in the press, such as Frederick Sandys’ celebrated engraving The Nightmare (1857) and George du Maurier’s Legend of Camelot, published in Punch in 1866.
Florence and her sister Adelaide were the daughters of Marshall Claxton, a minor painter of historical and biblical subjects. Florence exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere and was also a prolifc illustrator of books and periodicals, much of her work appearing in a weekly paper called London Society.
Claxton based her satire on one of the most familiar subjects in classical mythology, the beauty contest in which the shepherd Paris awards a golden apple, to Venus, thus arousing the fury of her rivals, Juno and Minerva, and precipitating the Trojan War. In a room on the left, John Everett Millais, is seen presenting an apple to a grotesquely scrawny, red-haired Pre-Raphaelite ‘stunner’. Behind him a second painter examines the feet of another, equally hideous female model, while two more gaze at her with rapt adoration. References to Ruskin abound; the room is replete with details suggestive of Holman Hunt’s Awakening Conscience; portraits of Raphael, Van Dyck and Reynolds are hung with their faces to the wall; and an apostle from one of the Raphael Cartoons is shown the door.
The ivy-covered wall separating the interior from the landscape is of a type that features in many Pre-Raphaelite paintings, a reference which is emphasised by the depiction of an artist carefully studying the brickwork through opera glasses. The landscape contains fgures from Pre-Raphaelite paintings exhibited during the 1850s: Millais’ Blind Girl, Sir Isumbras, Vale
of Rest and Spring, Holman Hunt’s Scapegoat, John Brett’s Stonebreaker, W. L. Windus’s Burd Helen, and others. The blossom seen at the far right is a reference to Ruskin’s injunction to artists to study this as it appears against a blue spring sky, made in his Academy Notes of 1858.

R. Lister, George Richmond, London, 1981, p. 166, no. 65.
The present watercolour is arguably one of Richmond’s most charming child portraits. Norman Lister Melville was the 4th child of John Thornton Leslie Melville and his 2nd wife Sophia Thornton. John and Sophia Melville, later 11th Earl and Countess of Leven and Melville, were close friends of the Richmonds. Richmond painted ffteen portraits of members of the Melville family between 1835 and1873. Norman Melville married Georgiana Bull, daughter of Captain William Shirley Bull on 4 December 1861. Lister, loc.cit., records a portrait of Mr Norman Melville, executed in 1845.

Important Notices and Explanation of
Cataloguing Practice
IMPORTANT NOTICES
CHRISTIE’S INTEREST IN PROPERTY CONSIGNED FOR AUCTIONFrom time to time, Christie’s may offer a lot which it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol ∆ next to its lot number. On occasion, Christie’s has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale, which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. Where Christie’s holds such financial interest on its own we identify such lots with the symbol º next to the lot number.Where Christie’s has financed all or part of such interest through a third party the lots are identified in the catalogue with the symbol ºu. When a third party agrees to finance all or part of Christie’s interest in a lot, it takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold, and will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee if the third party is the successful bidder or on the final hammer price in the event that the third party is not the successful bidder. The third party may also bid for the lot. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the final purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. Please see http://www.christies.com/financial-interest/ for a more detailed explanation of minimum price guarantees and third party financing arrangements.Where Christie’s has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christie’s will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest in the front of the catalogue.
ALL DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATE
CONDITION Christie’s catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books and wine). For all other property, only alterations or replacement components are listed. Please contact the Specialist Department for a condition report on a particular lot. The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie’s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding.
30/09/14
PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS
FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER
PROTECTED SPECIESProperty made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~in the catalogue. Such material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood. Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. Accordingly, clients should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any property with wildlife material if they intend to import the property into another country. Please note that it is the client’s responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Please note also that lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christie’s does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.
RECENT CHANGES TO IMPORTS OF
ELEPHANT IVORY AND OTHER WILDLIFE
MATERIAL INTO THE USA
The USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property made of or containing elephant ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. We have not obtained a DNA analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate whether the elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import of such property into the USA.
The USA is also currently requiring all imports of property made of or containing wildlife material to be accompanied by a scientific confirmation of species and in some cases an additional confirmation of age. We have not obtained such confirmations prior to sale (unless specifically indicated) and buyers will be responsible for the costs of any such additional confirmations or opinions required for their proposed import into the USA.
A buyer’s inability to export or import any lot containing elephant ivory or other wildlife material
is not a basis for cancelling the purchase.
POST 1950 FURNITUREAll items of post-1950 furniture included in this sale are items either not originally supplied for use in a private home or now offered solely as works of art. These items may not comply with the provisions of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and 1993, the “Regulations”). Accordingly, these items should not be used as furniture in your home in their current condition. If you do intend to use such items for this purpose, you must first ensure that they are reupholstered, restuffed and/or recovered (as appropriate) in order that they comply with the provisions of the Regulations.

To allow sufficient time to process the information, new clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in advance of a sale.Prospective buyers should register for a numbered bidding paddle at least 30 minutes before the auction. Clients who have not made a purchase from any Christie’s office within the last one year and those wishing to spend more than on previous occasions, will be asked to supply a new bank reference. For assistance with references, please contact Christie’s Credit Department at +44 (0)20 7389 2862 (London, King Street) or at +44 (0)20 7752 3137 (London, South Kensington).

REGISTERING TO BID ON SOMEONE ELSE’S BEHALFPersons bidding on behalf of an existing client should bring a signed letter from the client authorising the bidder to act on the client’s behalf. Please note that Christie’s does not accept payments from third parties. Christie’s can only accept payment from the client, and not from the person bidding on their behalf.
BIDDINGThe auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the sale-room, from telephone bidders, or by absentee written bids left with Christie’s in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. Bid steps are shown on the Absentee Bid Form at the back of this catalogue.
ABSENTEE BIDSAbsentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers directing Christie’s to bid on their behalf up to a maximum amount specified for each lot. Christie’s staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price, taking into account the reserve price. Absentee bids submitted on “no reserve” lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate.The auctioneer may execute absentee bids directly from the rostrum, clearly identifying these as “absentee bids”, “book bids”, “order bids” or “commission bids”. Absentee Bids Forms are available in this catalogue, at any Christie’s location, or online at christies.com.

Conditions of Sale
These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out the terms governing the legal relationship of Christie’s and the seller with the buyer. You should read them carefully before bidding.
1. CHRISTIE’S AS AGENTExcept as otherwise stated Christie’s acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer.
2. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS
AND CONDITIONLots are sold as described and otherwise in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, on the following basis.
(a) ConditionThe nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie’s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding.
(b) Cataloguing PracticeOur cataloguing practice is explained in the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice, which appear after the catalogue entries.
(c) Attribution etcAny statements made by Christie’s about any lot, whether orally or in writing, concerning attribution to, for example, an artist, school, or country of origin, or history or provenance, or any date or period, are expressions of our opinion or belief. Our opinions and beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance with the standard of care reasonably to be expected of an auction house of Christie’s standing, due regard having been had to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. It must be clearly understood, however, that, due to the nature of the auction process, we are unable to carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken by professional historians and scholars, and also that, as research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve, opinions on these matters may change. We therefore recommend that, particularly in the case of any item of significant value, you seek advice on such matters from your own professional advisers.
(d) EstimatesEstimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.
(e) Fitness for PurposeLots sold are enormously varied in terms of age, category and condition, and may be purchased for a variety of purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no promise is made that a lot is fit for any particular purpose.
3. AT THE SALE(a) Refusal of admissionChristie’s has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.
(b) Registration before biddingProspective buyers who wish to bid in the saleroom can register online in advance of the sale, or can come to the saleroom on the day of the sale approximately 30 minutes before the start of the sale to register in person. Prospective buyers must complete and sign a registration form with his or her name and permanent address, and provide identification before bidding. We may require the production of bank details from which payment will be made or other financial references.
(c) Bidding as principalWhen making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Christie’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Christie’s, and that Christie’s will only look to the principal for payment.
(d) Absentee bidsWe will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in the currency of the place of the sale. Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee Bids Form. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and provided that we have exercised reasonable care in the handling of written bids, the volume of goods is such that we cannot accept liability in any individual instance for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
(e) Telephone bidsIf a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
(f) Currency converterAt some auctions a currency converter may be operated. Errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter. Where these arise from circumstances beyond our reasonable control we do not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the actual bidding in the saleroom.
(g) Video or digital imagesAt some auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image. We do not accept liability for such errors where they arise for reasons beyond our reasonable control.
(h) ReservesUnless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol ) next to the lot number. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
(i) Auctioneer’s discretionThe auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable discretion in refusing any bid, advancing the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, withdrawing or dividing any lot, combining any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, determining the successful bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale or reoffering and reselling the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary the sale record maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive.
(j) Successful bid and passing of riskSubject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes to the buyer at the expiration of seven calendar days from the date of the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier.
4. AFTER THE SALE(a) Buyer’s premiumIn addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to us the buyer’s premium together with any applicable value added tax. The buyer’s premium is 25% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including /50,000, 20% of the excess of the hammer price above /50,000 and up to and including /1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer price above /1,000,000. Exceptions: Wine and Cigars: 17.5% of the final bid price of each lot, VAT is payable at the applicable rate.
(b) Artist’s Resale Right (“Droit de Suite”)If the Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot the buyer also agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations. Lots affected are identified with the symbol λ next to the lot number.
(c) Payment and ownershipThe buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes or resale royalty) immediately after the sale. This applies even if the buyer wishes to export the lot and an export licence is, or may be, required. The buyer will not acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us from the buyer have been received by us in good cleared funds even in circumstances where we have released the lot to the buyer.

111
(d) Collection of purchasesWe shall be entitled to retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to Christie’s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, have been received in full in good cleared funds or until the buyer has performed any other outstanding obligations as we, at our sole discretion, shall require, including, for the avoidance of doubt, completing any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our satisfaction. In the event a buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to our satisfaction, Christie’s shall be entitled to cancel the sale and to take any other actions that are required or permitted under applicable law. Subject to this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within two calendar days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed between us and the buyer.
(e) Packing, handling and shippingAlthough we shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and shipping a purchased lot and in selecting third parties for these purposes, we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Similarly, where we suggest other handlers, packers or carriers if so requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third party concerned.
(f) Export licenceUnless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence does not affect his or her obligation to make payment immediately after the sale nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. If the buyer requests us to apply for an export licence on his or her behalf, we shall be entitled to make a charge for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the buyer where payment is made by the buyer in circumstances where an export licence is required.
(g) Remedies for non paymentIf the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within 7 days after the sale, we shall have the right to exercise a number of legal rights and remedies. These include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) to charge interest at an annual rate equal to 5%
above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc;(ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the
total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law;
(iii) to cancel the sale;(iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on
such terms as we shall think fit;(v) to pay the seller an amount up to the net
proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting buyer;
(vi) to set off against any amounts which we, or Christie’s International plc, or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, may owe the buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer;
(vii) where several amounts are owed by the buyer to us, or to Christie’s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, in respect of different
transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the buyer so directs;
(viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from the buyer before accepting any bids;
(ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such buyer’s obligations to us;
(x) to take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate.
If we resell the property under paragraph (iv) above, the defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all reasonable costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph (v) above, the buyer acknowledges that Christie’s shall have all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount.
(h) Failure to collect purchasesWhere purchases are not collected within two calendar days from the date of the sale, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a third party warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage, handling, and any other costs reasonably incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.
(i) Selling Property at Christie’sIn addition to expenses such as transport, all consignors pay a commission according to a fixed scale of charges based upon the value of the property sold by the consignor at Christie’s in a calendar year. Commissions are charged on a sale by sale basis.
5. LIMITED WARRANTYIn addition to Christie’s liability to buyers set out in clause 2 of these Conditions, but subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, Christie’s warrants for a period of five years from the date of the sale that any property described in headings printed in UPPER CASE TYPE (i.e. headings having all capital-letter type) in this catalogue (as such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship, is authentic and not a forgery. The term “author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the UPPER CASE description of the property in this catalogue. Only UPPER CASE TYPE headings of lots in this catalogue indicate what is being warranted by Christie’s. Christie’s warranty does not apply to supplemental material which appears below the UPPER CASE TYPE headings of each lot and Christie’s is not responsible for any errors or omissions in such material. The terms used in the headings are further explained in Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice. The warranty does not apply to any heading which is stated to represent a qualified opinion. The warranty is subject to the following:
(i) It does not apply where (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions; or (b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.
(ii) The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Christie’s when the lot was sold at auction.
(iii) The original buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.
(iv) The buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Christie’s and the seller, in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot. Neither Christie’s nor the seller will be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits nor for interest.
(v) The buyer must give written notice of claim to us within five years from the date of the auction. It is Christie’s general policy, and Christie’s shall have the right, to require the buyer to obtain the written opinions of two recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Christie’s and the buyer, before Christie’s decides whether or not to cancel the sale under the warranty.
(vi) The buyer must return the lot to the Christie’s saleroom at which it was purchased in the same condition as at the time of the sale.
6. COPYRIGHTThe copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Christie’s relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of Christie’s and shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. Christie’s and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
7. SEVERABILITYIf any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
