JOSEPH WATKINS (IRISH, 1838-1871) Portrait Bust of Robert Mayne, Esq., MD Carrara Marble, 59cm high Signed and dated 1866This is accompanied by a hardback copy of "Florence Court - My Irish Home" by The Countess of Enniskillen***Please Note: The sitter was wrongly identified in the printed catalogue***This marble portrait bust depicts Robert Mayne (1811–1864), a distinguished Dublin physician and medical reformer, whose career was closely associated with the South Dublin Union, later reconstituted as St. James’s Hospital. Executed by Joseph Watkins (1828–1871), a Fermanagh-born sculptor known for his refined portraiture, the bust was exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1866, listed as Catalogue No. 510. It is also recorded in the University of Glasgow’s Mapping the Practice and Profession of Sculpture in Britain and Ireland 1851–1951.Mayne was an influential figure in 19th-century Irish medicine, known for his dedication to public health and his progressive approach to institutional care. His medical career was rooted in the complex and often challenging context of Dublin’s expanding urban population, and he played a key role in shaping the emerging hospital infrastructure. His work at the South Dublin Union focused in particular on diseases of the chest, and he is credited with making a number of original clinical observations that contributed to contemporary understanding of pulmonary conditions.At a time when medicine in Ireland was undergoing professionalisation and hospitals were transitioning from charitable to more structured civic institutions, Mayne’s contributions helped to establish lasting models for patient care and clinical governance. His legacy is commemorated through the Robert Mayne Lecture, which alternates between St. James’s Hospital and The Adelaide & Meath Hospital, incorporating the National Children’s Hospital, institutions that trace part of their lineage to his efforts. The lecture reflects an enduring spirit of cooperation in Irish medicine, furthering excellence in clinical teaching and research.The sculptor, Joseph Watkins, was regarded as one of the most promising Irish artists of his generation. He trained at the Royal Dublin Society’s School of Modelling, and later in Rome, before returning to Ireland where he exhibited widely and received numerous commissions for public and private portraiture. Watkins died prematurely at the age of 43, cutting short a flourishing career, but his output demonstrates a clear sensitivity to character and form. His bust of Mayne stands among the most accomplished of his known works, blending classical technique with a striking naturalism that reflects the sitter’s seriousness and moral authority.

Skulptur - - Ernst Seger. (1868 Neurode - 1939 Berlin). Sandalenbinderin. Um 1900. Alabaster mit Applikationen aus Bronze. Höhe 39,5 cm (41,5 cm). Auf gelbtonig marmoriertem Steinsockel. Verso bezeichnet "Prof. Ernst Seger". Der deutsche Bildhauer Ernst Seger ist bekannt für seine eleganten und detailreichen Skulpturen im Stil des Neoklassizismus und Jugendstils. Nach seiner Ausbildung bei Christian Behrens in Breslau arbeitete er zunächst in Berlin im Atelier von Reinhold Begas und in Paris bei Auguste Rodin, bevor er sich als freischaffender Künstler etablierte. Segers Werke, oft aus Marmor oder Bronze, thematisieren vor allem weibliche Akte und mythologische Figuren. So greift auch unsere Skulptur mit dem Motiv der Sandalenbinderin auf ein antikes Vorbild zurück, das in der Kunst des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts oft aufgegriffen wurde. Neben der symbolisierten Schönheit und Eleganz werden durch die in weichen Formen anmutig versunkene Körperhaltung auch Selbstvergessenheit und Natürlichkeit vermittelt. - Eleganter, vollplastischer weiblicher Akt mit wenigen kleinen Schmutzfleckchen und Bereibungen. Der linke Fuß mit Bruchstelle sowie Spuren einer Restaurierung. Female nude made of alabaster with bronze applications. On a yellow marbled stone base. Verso inscribed "Prof. Ernst Seger". - The German sculptor Ernst Seger is known for his elegant and detailed sculptures in the style of Neoclassicism and Art Nouveau. After training with Christian Behrens in Breslau, he first worked in Berlin in the studio of Reinhold Begas and in Paris with Auguste Rodin before establishing himself as a freelance artist. Seger's works, often made of marble or bronze, mainly focus on female nudes and mythological figures. Our sculpture with the motif of the sandal-tying woman also draws on an ancient model that was often taken up in the art of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to the symbolised beauty and elegance, the gracefully submerged posture in soft forms also conveys self-forgetfulness and naturalness. - Elegant, fully sculpted female nude with a few small spots of dirt and rubbing. The left foot with a break and traces of restoration.

* JAKE HARVEY RSA (SCOTTISH b. 1948), THE MAIDEN'S DREAM forged steel and welded found objects and stone, cast into bronze in an edition of 6, on stone base, signed and dated '89 91cm tall x 79cm wide Publication: Jake Harvey - Sculpture 1972-93. Catalogue produced to accompany the exhibition of Jake Harvey’s sculpture at the Talbot Rice Gallery in October 1993. Cat 105. Illustrated inside front cover. Reference by Douglas Hall page 22 Note: ‘My creative stimulus comes from many sources but frequently evolves from drawing things seen and imagined, from lived encounters with the landscape and, in the reductive process of carving, from embracing the tangential ways of making that evolve. The title of this exhibition of sculptures carved in basalt, granite, marble and porphyry relates to a material and a way of working it. In a broader context it links to my aim to create simple sculptural forms; works of distilled essence that invite deliberation from the viewer; sculptures made by a process of paring down and refining in terms of both form and concept.’ – Jake Harvey, 2022Jake Harvey is a sculptor of elemental works imbued with stillness, sense-stimulus and a sophisticated Zen-like simplicity. He carves granite, basalt, marble and limestone, often placing the simple abstract forms directly on the wall or floor, or sometimes on shaped bases that can be set indoors or outside within a landscape. After studying sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art (1966–72), Harvey went on to become the Head of School of Sculpture for eleven years. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Sculpture and lives and works in Maxton in the Scottish Borders. Increasingly intrigued by the relationship of man to the earth and enthralled by the shaping of earth by man and vice versa, his sculptures retain the indexical mark of the maker and often subtly imply an indeterminate use or function.

SIRIO TOFANARI (ITALIAN, 1885-1969) A LARGE 'GAZELLE' SCULPTURE; CONCEIVED IN 1924; CIRCA 1965 Bronze, variegated green marble plinth base Signed in cast 'S.TOFANARI' (at the tale) and with foundry name 'Fuse Marinalli Firenze' 48cm high, 58.5cm wide, 25.5cm deep This model is the last of four versions of this sculpture originally conceived in 1924, each successive variant becoming more streamlined. Around 1955 Tofanari gave Aldo Marinelli, owner of the Marinalli Foundry in Florence, a number of plaster models to cast into bronze. This particular gazelle was amongst them. The agreement was that Tofanari would detail the waxes and oversee the patination. Tofanari died in 1969 but the foundry still cast with the family permission until 1976 when the foundry was sold and the name of the foundry changed. This cast is before 1976, it is signed on the tail as opposed to the raised leg of the later casts, it also has a quality and finish with fine detail. The modern casts of this subject are marked clearly as posthumous after legal action by the heirs.
