Modelled by the talented Roy Charles Asplin, this early prototype version was blocked in June 1945, this month marking its 80th birthday! This prototype is model 1275, whereas the version produced without the man and the Belle in different colours was model 1286, indicating that the original model was swiftly disgraced and swiftly remodelled without the male figure. Interestingly the produced model of just the ladybug the sofa was not introduced until 1947. This delightful model makes perfect sense with the Belle and her suitor paying court to her! One can trace this model not only through a late 1930s blocking book but also the original shape model book. In the latter, one can see that the number 1275 was soon reassigned to one of Peggy Davies' small pig models. As with all prototypes the modelling is not only crisper but the detail in the painting is exceptional, as these prototypes were painted only by their most established and trusted artists. Roy Charles Asplin is perhaps not a name many know in connection with Royal Doulton but he was in fact apprenticed to the company before emigrating to Canada where he lived out his life until 2014. Born in 1925 in Hanley, one of the famous Six Towns that make up Stoke-on-Trent, his years with Royal Doulton set his career path as he continued to model and produce figures as well as character jugs and even statues. His style of Royal Doulton figures is quite different to his contemporaries Leslie Harradine and Peggy Davies, and here is a photograph of him from 1943 at the age of 18 modelling a further prototype duo after the ballet stars Moira Shearer and Alexis Rassine.Issued: 20th centuryDimensions: 9.5"L x 5.75"L x 7"HCountry of Origin: EnglandCondition: Age related wear.

THOMAS HUDSON (BRITISH 1701 - 1779) PORTRAIT OF CATHERINE 'KITTY' JERVIS (1733-1756), MRS. JEREMIAH SMITH Oil on canvas 127 x 101.6cm (50 x 40 in.) In a period eighteen century swept and pierced, carved and gilded frame Painted circa 1755. Provenance: The sitter's brother, Admiral of the Fleet John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent (1735-1823), Meaford Hall, Staffordshire removed from Meaford Hall when the house was sold in 1943 by descent to Edward Swynfen Parker-Jervis Exhibited: Birmingham, City Museum and Art Gallery, Exhibition of Treasures from Midland Homes, 2nd November - 2nd December 1938 (lent by Mr Robert St Vincent Parker-Jervis) Catherine Margaret Jervis, known to her family as Kitty, was the second daughter of Swynfen Jervis (1700-1771) of Meaford Hall, near Stone, Staffordshire and his wife Elizabeth Parker, daughter of George Parker of Park Hall. Both of Kitty's parents came from long-established Staffordshire gentry families; the Jervises had been established in the county since the days of Edward III (reg.1327-77). Swynfen Jervis practised as a lawyer, becoming Counsel to the Admiralty and Auditor to Greenwich Hospital; the family divided their time between Greenwich and their estates. On 18th March 1755 Kitty married at St Alphege, Greenwich a Staffordshire neighbour, Jeremiah Smith of Great Fenton Hall, which was situated eight miles north of Meaford. This portrait was probably made around the time of her marriage. Thomas Hudson was clearly the portraitist of choice for the family: he painted Jeremiah Smith, by then High Sheriff of Staffordshire, in 1762 (Staffordshire County Buildings, Stafford). The Smiths were prominent landowners in Great Fenton, today a suburb of Stoke-on-Trent. By the mid-eighteenth century the area was becoming part of the heartland of the Industrial Revolution, with ceramic producers that would later bear famous names such as Spode, Copeland and Minton. The country was rich in ironstone and coal, essential for the firing of the kilns. Jeremiah Smith obtained mining rights in Fenton which were developed by his descendants. By 1840, a land 'once the pure and peaceful domicile of [the owners'] ancestry [was] but now the black and noisy seat of Cyclopean labours'. Naturally, no hint of this gradual industrialisation is apparent in Hudson's portrait of Kitty Jervis. She is portrayed leaning against a rock with a woodland sunrise beyond. Her elegant, broad-brimmed hat, which gives her a dashing air, puffed sleeves and the feather in her hand are inspired by a Rubens portrait then thought to be of his wife, but which probably depicts his sister-in-law, Susanna Fourment (Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon). It was acquired by Sir Robert Walpole and hung in the Van Dyck Drawing Room at Houghton, but was well known from James McArdell's mezzotint after it. The Rubens portrait sparked a vogue for painting ladies in 'van Dyck' dress, much employed by Hudson in the 1730s and 40s, as well as the use of van Dyck dress in masquerade costumes. Horace Walpole wrote to his friend Horace Mann in 1742 of seeing at the Duchess of Norfolk's masquerade 'quantities of pretty Vandykes, and all kinds of old pictures walked out of their frames' (1). Kitty's costume is a charming fantasy, a hybrid of 'van Dyck' dress and mid-eighteenth century high fashion. The lace choker at her throat is in contemporary vogue, as is her jewellery. A locket probably containing a likeness of her husband is strung from the rubies and pearls at her waist. Hudson repeated this model, down to the rocky background and soft blue silk dress, in a full-length portrait of Mary Bertie, Duchess of Ancaster and Kesteven, painted in 1757 (Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire). The same format is employed in a portrait of Lady Oxenden (Art Gallery of New South Wales), recently reattributed to Hudson's pupil Joseph Wright of Derby. Sadly, Kitty's marriage was short-lived: she died giving birth to her son Charles in 1756. Her portrait was inherited by her younger brother John Jervis (1735-1823), whose brilliant naval career led to his creation as 1st Earl of St Vincent for his victory over the French at Cape St Vincent on 14th February 1797, an action which also brought Captain Horatio Nelson to prominence. A just, well-loved and reforming officer, Jervis crowned his career as Admiral of the Fleet. Kitty's painting remained at Meaford Hall until the house was sold in 1943 and has descended in the Parker-Jervis family. 1) Quoted in London, The Iveagh Bequest, Kenwood, Thomas Hudson 1701-1779, 1979, exh. cat. by Ellen Miles, under n. 15 Condition Report: The canvas has been relined.

* ROBERT DAWSON (BRITISH 1926 - 1997), VALE OF FFESTINIOG oil on board, initialled, titled versoframedimage size 18cm x 23cm, overall size 29cm x 34cm Note: Robert Dawson was born in 1926. Leaving school at 17, Dawson was offered a scholarship to Stoke-on-Trent College of Art, but was persuaded by his mother to join a solicitor’s office. Aged 22, Dawson joined a touring dance band, performing in US Airforce bases in Germany. After studying English and Art at Clarendon College, Nottingham, in 1965, he trained as a primary school teacher. Dawson, a great collector and lover of art, was also a member of the Staffordshire Society of Artists and had several solo exhibitions. In 1973 and 1974 he won the Holbrook Prize at Nottingham Castle Museum. When Dawson died in 1997, he left a substantial body of work. Among his papers were the drafts for Painters and their Houses."Robert Dawson was always one of the quiet men of art, a man of great modesty. Unlike so many of the younger artists today, he did not aspire to fame or artistic acclaim but quietly contented himself with working out his own problems in his own honest way. Because he painted what he loved he was able to communicate that love to others. For this reason, I believe, his work will always be appreciated long after so much of the facile creations produced today have been forgotten." Sir Kyffin Williams, Anglesey, 2000
