Attributed to Vicente Escobar (Havana, Cuba, 1762–1834)Portrait of the Military Officer José Pascual de Zayas y Chacón76 x 54 cmThe frame of the painting is typical of those commonly used in 19th-century Cuba.Our painting is comparable to two works, the first is a portrait of the same José Pascual de Zayas that is in the Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba painted by Vicente López and the second is a portrait of the Spanish sailor Juan José Ruiz de Apocada y Elizados painted by Vicente Escobar to whom we logically attribute our painting.In both paintings, the portrayed is in the same scenography: he is located next to a column and next to a pedestal on which rests a marble bust, the same as in our work.This portrait presents José Pascual de Zayas y Chacón adorned with numerous medals awarded by King Ferdinand VII for his participation in various battles during the Peninsular War. He is portrayed holding a command baton, symbolizing his military authority.The medals have been identified in rows, from left to right:Row 1:Cross of the Royal and Military Order of San Hermenegildo, established by Ferdinand VII in 1814 at the end of the Peninsular War.Cross of Distinction of the North, Royal Order of March 23, 1809.Cross of Distinction for the First, Second, and Third Armies, Royal Circular of March 31, 1815.Cross of Distinction of the First Army, Circular of January 26, 1817 (Campaigns of 1813 and 1814).Row 2:Cross of Distinction for the Battle of Talavera, Royal Order of December 8, 1810.Cross of Distinction to the Army of Extremadura (Alburquerque), Circular of June 5, 1815.Possibly the Cross of Distinction of the First Army for the 1811 campaign.Row 3:Plaque of the Royal and Military Order of San Hermenegildo, established by Ferdinand VII in 1814.On his left sleeve, he wears the Shield of Distinction for Medellín, Royal Decree of April 1, 1809.Vicente Escobar was a prominent Cuban painter, born in 1762 into a family of officers of the Pardos y Morenos Regiment. Though registered as black at birth, he took advantage of the "Real Cédula de Gracias al Sacar" a Royal Decree of Graces that allowed certain privileges to those who paid for it, and reportedly died as a legally recognized white man. A self-taught artist, his early inspiration came from devotional images inherited from his maternal great-grandmother.In the 1780s, Escobar traveled to Spain, and in 1784 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, where he was a pupil of Mariano Salvador Maella and became acquainted with the works of Goya. In 1827, he was appointed Pintor de Cámara (Court Painter) by Ferdinand VII. At the peak of his success, Escobar died during a cholera epidemic.José Pascual de Zayas y Chacón was born in Havana on June 5, 1772. He pursued a military career in Spain, stemming from his noble lineage and influential connections with the O’Reilly family. He joined the army at fifteen and was named sub-lieutenant. During the War of the Pyrenees (War of the Convention), he distinguished himself and was briefly taken prisoner, and later freed in 1794. In 1800, he took part in the defense of Ferrol against the British. For his role in the Battle of Brione in 1801, he was promoted to Captain of Grenadiers. In 1807, he served as lieutenant to O’Reilly in Etruria. Though he did not partake in the Denmark campaign due to bureaucratic delays, he was in Spain when the Peninsular War broke out. He died in Chiclana on October 27, 1827, while awaiting a ship to return to the Americas.Bibliography:https://historia-hispanica.rah.es/biografias/45774-jose-pascual-de-zayas-chacon

Mateo Cerezo (Burgos, 1637 - Madrid, 1666)"Immaculate Conception"Oil on canvas.146 x 103 cm. Mateo Cerezo was a renowned Spanish painter, born into a family of local artists. He joined Carreño's workshop when he was barely fifteen years old, becoming one of the artist´s best collaborators, as the Prado Museum confirms.This training marked “the style of the young Cerezo profoundly in the double Flemish-Venetian direction so fashionable at the time,” as Alvaro Piedra reports for the Royal Academy of History. He became in a short time, continues Piedra, “one of the most brilliant and revealing painters of Spanish Baroque, until his death at the tender age of twenty-nine”.He was an artist who was sought after by a wide clientele, especially for his religious paintings, such as the impetuous Immaculate Conception that we present in the auction, although that is not the only genre he painted.“In this regard,“ states the Prado, ‘the treatise writer and biographer Palomino declared the excellence with which he painted ’still lifes, with such superior excellence, that no one surpassed him,” a judgment fully corroborated by contemplating the paintings in the Museo Nacional de San Carlos in Mexico, which are signed and dated.”Mateo Cerezo´s drawings were also remarkable, and “heads, bodies and figures made with black pencil and sanguine in the manner of Carreño” are still preserved (Piedra, RAH).

Madrid School. 17th century."View of El Escorial"Oil on canvas.108 x 160 cm.Spectacular painting of an architectural view, which is not just a painting of a building but the relaxed view of a great “architectural complex” that houses several buildings and that forged Spanish history, a living legend that defies the passage of time. On April 23, 1563, the first stone was laid for the construction of this great Monastery, one of the most representative monuments of Spanish architecture. A colossal architectural ensemble consisting of a monastery and a church, a palace and a royal pantheon, it is known as the Monastery of San Lorenzo el Real or, simply, El Escorial. It was designed in the second half of the 16th century by King Philip II and his architect Juan Bautista de Toledo, although it was later completed by Juan de Herrera, and also by Juan de Minjares, Giovanni Batistta Castello “El Bergamasco” and Francisco de Mora. At the time it was the largest building in Europe and is considered to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. Since 1984 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The architecture of the Escorial is symmetrical and balanced. The building is built in granite and divided into three vertical zones. In the central axis is the courtyard of Monarchs, the Temple and the King's House; to the left is the College and the Palace; and to the right, the monastery and kitchens. The architectural mass is simplified ny using squares, rectangles and circles through the rule of “Universal Trace” (or Universal Path). It consists of 15 cloisters, 13 oratories, 86 stairways, 88 forts, and 73 sculptures. The church has a Greek cross plan and in its main chapel are the funerary monuments of Charles V and Philip II. The painting controls space and perspective, showing painted architecture “that rationalizes the gaze”. The painting presents us with a stage of very ordered stones harboring some characters, (carriages that bring and carry ladies and gentlemen of court, characters that walk through the courtyards and that give life “to the theater and scene of so much stone”, the beginning of a procession with altar boys in front...), and that shows us the evolution of the scenography through time. This painting is a metaphor for ideal architecture, ordered, perfect, with inner order being expressed on the exterior ...., and showing the external order that is imposed on the interior. This is undoubtedly a marvelous painting that “frames and orders” our aesthetic tastes, that idealizes our thoughts, that erases stress with its mere contemplation, as it is designed to delight the viewer's gaze. A painting that serves to perpetuate the grandeur of the past and the memory of so much contained opulence. An exquisite perspective understood as a symbolic way of ordering the world and the gaze.

Als er die Magellanstraße erreichte, fertige er Karten und stellte er Beobachtungen der Meerenge an, mit dem Ziel der Kolonialisierung des Gebiets für Spanien. Der spanische König übernahm später seinen Plan und ernannte ihn zum Gouverneur einer zukünftigen Kolonie, deren Gründung ohne Sarmientos Verschulden allerdings in einer Katastrophe mündete. Seine handschriftlicher Bericht wurde erst 200 Jahre nach seiner Anfertigung in der Madrider Hofbibliothek entdeckt und wie hier erstgedruckt veröffentlicht. - Die klar gestochenen Kupfer mit detaillierten Darstellungen verschiedener Inseln, Erhebungen, Buchten, etc. entlang der Magellanstraße. - Provenienz: Ausgeschiedenes Exemplar der "Foreign Office Library" (heute im King's College, London), mit Bibliotheksstempel auf dem Titelblatt recto und Ausscheidungsstempel verso. - Titelblatt gering stock- und fingerfleckig, die unbeschnittenen Ränder leicht angestaubt, Tafeln und einige Blätter gering wasserrandig, sonst sauberes, breitrandiges Exemplar.

On reaching the straits of Magellan this mission was subverted into an opportunity to make charts and observations of the straits and to develop a plan to prevent any further incursions into the Pacific by colonizing and fortifying the region. The King of Spain later adopted his plan, and appointed him the governor of the future colony. Unfortunately, through no fault of Sarmiento's, the attempt at colonization ended in disaster. His notes were found in the Madrid court library around 200 years after they were written and published for the first time with present edition. - The clear engravings with detailed depictions of various islands, elevations, bays, etc. along the Strait of Magellan. - Provenance: Ex-library copy from the 'Foreign Office Library' (now in King's College, London), with library stamp on recto of title page and ex-libray stamp on verso. - Title page occasionally foxed and finger-stained, the untrimmed margins slightly dusty, plates and some leaves very slightly water-stained, otherwise a clean, wide-margined copy.

Attributed to Juan Patricio Morlete (San Miguel el Grande, Guanajuato, Mexico, 1713/1715 - Mexico, 1772"Portrait of Manuel López-Pintado y Almonacid"Oil on canvas.111,5 x 97 cm.Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz was one of the greatest painters in Mexico during the second half of the 18th century. Although his biography was little known until the 20th century, his work began to be more widely disseminated through various collections, which made it possible to learn more about him. Morlete, with extensive oeuvre in Mexico, is particularly known for his series of caste paintings. The Museo de América in Madrid has a still life by his hand (inv. 2021/04/01).He founded the Academy of Painting in 1753, together with his teacher José de Ibarra, Miguel de Cabrera, José de Alcíbar and other illustrious figures. Two years earlier, in 1751, he had been part of the group of artists who inspected the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. These two events reflect the artistic and cultural importance, as well as the social and professional recognition of the painter.The iconographic themes of his artistic production are varied. Urban views, devotional and allegorical motifs, sacred history and several portraits known to date, including those of several viceroys and a portrait of King Charles III dated 1760.Focusing on the painting we present here - and delving deeper into the identity of the sitter - the clothing and important coat worn by the sitter in our work behove us to mention two paintings on canvas that we can compare stylistically and help us to date and geographically locate the painting to the first half of the 18th century in New Spain. We are talking about the portrait attributed to the painter Juan Rodríguez Juárez of Viceroy Juan Vázquez de Acuña y Bejerano (1658-1734), Viceroy of New Spain between 1722 and 1734; and the portrait of Viceroy Pedro Cebrián y Agustín (1687-1752), Viceroy of New Spain between 1741 and 1746.The attire and accessories of the sitter in our painting are comparable in quality, materials and design to those worn in the portraits of the Viceroys of the 18th century. From this we can deduce that the sitter enjoys a very high social status, possibly among the nobility or great merchants of globalisation.It should also be noted that our noble and illustrious personage holds a magnifying glass in his left hand. This element and the book of cartography resting on the table next to the silver inkwell with its quills relate the sitter to maritime activity. In this sense, moreover, the design of the decorative patterns of the garments reminds us of the waves of the sea and the symbols on the sleeves are related to the four cardinal points.The proposal suggested to satisfy the mystery of the identity of the man portrayed is that of Manuel López-Pintado y Almonacid, Admiral of the Fleet of the Indies, who was born in Toledo in 1677 and died in Seville in 1745.A portrait of Manuel López-Pintado, dated 21 December 1730, is kept in the Naval Museum in Madrid.As the Royal Academy of History informs us, "The great wealth of López-Pintado, a mixture of sailor, soldier and businessman, originated from the title of silver-master granted to him by Sebastián de Talledo in Madrid in 1704. [...] He was a deputy of the royal fleets until he obtained the title of admiral of the Fleet of the Indies in 1715-1716, and in that post he acquired a large fortune that enabled him to invest in land, buying and improving various estates and mills in different towns in the province of Seville. [...] In 1737, Philip V granted him the title of Marquis of Torre Blanca del Aljarafe, with the previous viscountcy of Cabrejas". Reference bibliography:- Caño Ortigosa, José Luis. (n.d.).

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). Graphite sketch on graph paper titled "Self Portrait with Marie-Therese Walter," depicting two portraits along the front of the artist and his lover and model, Marie-Therese Walter (French, 1909-1977). She was the mother of their daughter Maya Widmaier-Picasso (1935-2022). The verso of this piece renders several sketches of various objects including a wardrobe cabinet, a ball, a cage, a snail, a human figure, a dog, and an elegant hound voiding his bowels.Provenance: The Estate of Marie-Therese Walter, France; Private collection, Minnesota.Literature: Josep Palau I Fabre, "Pare Picasso," Barcelona: Ediciones Poligrafa, 1977.Lot Essay:A multi-faceted artist who worked as a sculptor, painter, printmaker, and theater designer, Pablo Picasso is known as the co-founder of the Cubist movement and regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.The artist was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain to Don Jose Ruiz y Blasco (1838–1913) and Maria Picasso y Lopez. His father was a naturalist painter of birds and game as well as a professor of art at the School of Crafts and a curator of a local museum. From the early age of seven, Picasso received formal traditional artistic training from his father, copying work from old masters and rendering the human body through the use of live models and plaster casts.This training took place throughout Picasso’s childhood. In 1891, his family moved to A Coruna where they resided for four years while his father took a position at the School of Fine Arts there. Picasso’s artistic capabilities grew, and even Ruiz claimed that his son had surpassed his own talents. In 1895, his sister, Lola, died from diptheria, and the family moved once again, this time to Barcelona. As a professor at the School of Fine Arts, his father persuaded the institution to let Picasso take the entrance exam for advanced classes at the mere age of thirteen. Though this process typically took a month to complete, Picasso finished in a short week and was accepted into the advanced courses. At age sixteen, Picasso’s father and uncle sent him to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. However, soon after enrollment Picasso stopped attending classes but was instead invigorated by attractions such as the Prado with artistic works by masters Diego Velazquez, Francisco Goya, Francisco Zurbaran, and El Greco.By the time Picasso married his first wife, Olga Stepanovna Khokhlova, in 1918, he had risen to success and acquired some fame and fortune as a forerunner of the Cubist movement, though this contrasted greatly with his humble “starving artist†beginnings and continuing bohemian lifestyle. Khokhlova came from high society and introduced her new husband to formal dinner parties and life of the rich in Paris during the 1920s. This clashed with Picasso’s own world views and inevitably led to the couple’s demise.A long-standing secret affair began in 1927 between Picasso and the then 17-year-old Marie-Thérèse Walter. In 1935, Marie became pregnant and it was then that a friend told Khokhlova about Picasso’s mistress. Khokhlova and Picasso separated, never divorcing, until Khokhlova’s death in 1955. On September 5, 1935, Marie and Picasso’s child, Maria de la Concepcion, called "Maya", was born. Though Picasso financially supported Marie and Maya throughout his life, he never married her and had a number of affairs with other women.Marie was a model and muse for many of Picasso’s paintings, sculptures, and drawings including the sketch seen in this lot. She is typically portrayed as bright and blonde in contrast to the weeping woman persona of Picasso’s other lover, Dora Maar. Though the sketch on the recto of the artist and his lover is masterful and typical of Picasso’s greatest works, the verso renders drawings of dogs, a snail, and other random objects created for the amusement of his daughter, Maya. Both sides demonstrate Picasso’s virtuoso and ability to be playful yet skillful in his artistic works.Height: 5 3/4 in x width: 3 3/4 in.Condition: The drawing is in good condition overall. The drawing is executed on graph paper and has a deckled edge along the right. There is a paper loss along the lower right. A repair to a 1 inch tear that goes from the upper right edge, diagonally downward. Some areas of skinning along the upper left and right corners. Some light surface soiling. Some minor losses and one small tear along the lower edge. The drawing bears light impressions of the drawings on the verso. The drawing is not framed.

The Smiths: A typed letter, hand-signed by Morrissey in blue crayon, written to Mike Hinc of All Trade Booking, dated September 19th [1984], regarding plans for forthcoming live show bookings, reading 'Dear Mike, Thank you for sending the rider. You understand that I no longer have any physical need for gladioli or small greenary [sic] (passe, man), but instead, an insatiable biological need for a small tree. Please include this paltry request on Irish rider (indeed all future riders). The tree itself should be imminently swingable, at least four feet in length, minus thorns or anything likely to maime [sic] a delicate artistic hand.Please send me a detailed list of the finalised Irish dates. It had always been group policy never to return to any given venue, so this is why we frown at the Ulster Hall. I wish something could be done. Is it too late? We have no real passion to visit Londonderry. Can you let me know the finalised ticket prices for all Irish dates? Provenance: From the personal collection of the late Mike Hinc, former booking agent at Rough Trade for Morrissey, The Smiths and others. The lot forms part of an extensive archive of related items on this sale, consigned by the family of Mike Hinc.We feel that the February-March tour should be mammoth. The crew need details of venues as soon as possible. We plan to accommodate a huge screen onstage (this was roughly planned for the three upcoming gigs, but stage area was deemed too small). So although we'd like all venues (practically) to be stand up's, there must be stage space for a vast screen. Sergeant Featherstone can explain further.The main purpose of the Feb-March tour will be to promote the 2nd LP ['Meat is Murder']. If LP is not released by mid-February, we are in deep trouble. I want to avoid antics of Feb-March tour '84 where LP was released mid-tour.Instead of playing two (or more!) nights at a London venue, can we not play a London date early in the tour and London date at latter half, playing two separate venues? Also, for Manchester, can we wheedle in a concert hall date and a club date?Please think about these two points.RT [Rough Trade] release a compilation LP mid-November of radio sessions, but otherwise a record release before the end of this year is unlikely.As a matter of total trivia, although waves splash abound, The Smiths as a unit have never been so unified and determined. Plus, we still get heaps of fan mail (especially me). Love (I expect), Morrissey.' A second typed letter, (facsimile text and signature), dated May 21st 1985, reads: 'Dear Mike, The final Spanish date was the worst 24 hours of our career. As a direct result, please discard any notions of the Smith ever doing any European hikes. Enough is enough.We will never work with Stuart James again. Please produce a choice of three tour managers for America. We can quite easily conduct swift interviews in Manchester and finally brand the luckless candidate.We will never take a flight on a gig day; our ears are precious. We rely on them. Please apply this to the US jaunt.It was good to see you in Madrid, but clearly Scott left the country without altering his notions of US Tour Presidency. I rely on you fully to clean this issue up and get it out of the way.To re-tell the San Sebastian incident is to re-live it. Naturally, our Spanish promoters turned into our worst enemies. We were inches away from imprisonment. Everybody in the entourage deserted the group.We do not want a caterer for the US tour. If the promoters don't provide ample basic food, we're going home to our Mothers.I think that demanding there be no barriers and very modest 'heavies' at US gigs is a wholly reasonable request. The absolute purpose of this tour is to incite stage invasions.Please let me know the situation with James. Has a second 'major' group been added to Dublin? Please confirm with Scott that Jim Connelly is available for America.
