    John Melhuish Strudwick (1849-1937). Head of a Young Woman, pencil on paper.., and others * Attributed to John Melhuish Strudwick (1849-1937). Head of a Young Woman, pencil on paper, with three additional smaller sketches to lower margin of a male figure, and a faint sketch of the head of a dog, some marks and small losses to sheet edges, and a few short closed tears, two further small compositional studies in pencil to verso, one of a young woman standing in front of a low colonnade, the other a sketch of two young women reading in an interior, some light soiling, sheet size 354 x 252 mm QTY: (1) NOTE: Provenance: Estate of Michael Jaffe (1923-1997); thence by descent. The treatment of the head of the young woman is typical of Strudwick's output, and the three smaller sketches of the male figure on the side of the sheet appear to relate to the figure of the old man tolling the bell in the upper left corner of Strudwick's famous painting A Golden Thread first exhibited in 1885 (Tate Collection).

    EDWARD COLEY BURNE-JONES (BRITISH 1833-1898) PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG WOMAN, THOUGHT TO BE ANNE MARIA JONES—RECTO; TWO CARICATURES OF WILLIAM MORRIS—VERSO inscribed POETA NON FIT verso coloured chalk and pencil on paper 50 x 35.5cm; 19 3/4 x 14in (sheet) 67 x 55cm; 26 1/4 x 21 3/4in (framed) Property from a London Collector Provenance Sir Edward Poynter RA (a gift from the artist. Poynter, 1836-1919, was an artist, served as the President of the Royal Academy from 1896-1918 and was the brother-in-law of Edward Coley Burne-Jones) Alfred Baldwin (a gift from the above. Baldwin, 1841-1908, was Poynter’s brother-in-law, a businessman and politician and the father of the future Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin. Poynter, Burne-Jones and Baldwin all married daughters of George Browne Macdonald - Agnes, Georgina and Louisa respectively - to form part of a remarkable family circle; another Macdonald sister, Alice, married John Lockwood Kipling, father of Rudyard Kipling) Thence by descent to the present owner Anne Maria Jones (also known as Augusta or Gussie) was one of three sisters from Hull who made a living in London as artist’s models. Celebrated for her strong profile and wealth of golden hair, she posed for several important pictures by Burne-Jones in the 1860s, including the watercolour Astrologia of 1865 and the oil Princess Sabra in the Garden (Musée d’Orsay, Paris). Other artists for whom she sat included Albert Moore, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and members of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. On the reverse of the present drawing are two humorous caricatures by Burne-Jones of his closest friend William Morris. One of the sketches is inscribed 'Poeta non Fit' (the poet is not yet done) and depicts the great designer and writer pompously leaning against a pedestal and orating to an unseen audience. The other sketch depicts him slumped in his chair and continuing to orate with little care about whether he is being listened to. Both Burne-Jones and Poynter were very fond of Morris but had also had to endure interminably long evenings in which he had insisted on reading to them at length from his epic poems and translations. Burne-Jones' wife Georgina admitted that she sometimes had to bite her fingers or stick pins in herself to ward off sleep when Morris was in a particularly verbal mood. The caricatures were clearly shared with Poynter to tease Morris. There are other examples in the British Museum which similarly poke fun at Morris and his speeches.

They were originally bound in a sketchbook but subsequently split up (sale, Christie’s, London, 14th December 2016, lots 17-24). Burne-Jones gave the sketch book to his friends Sir George and Lady Lewis. (I) was the first page of the sketchbook dedicated to Elizabeth Lewis and dated 1881. The model for (II) was Burne-Jones' daughter Margaret (1866-1953), and is a study for the maiden holding a trumpet at the bottom of the stairs in The Golden Stairs. Margaret was also very likely the model for the study of legs on the verso of (II), a preparatory study for the same figure in The Golden Stairs. George Lewis was the most famous solicitor of his day who made his name representing the relatives of the poisoned Charles Bravo in the so-called Balham Mystery of 1876. Over a career of thirty years he was involved in a series of causes célèbres that came to court in London. He extricated the Prince of Wales from the embarrassing Tranby Croft Baccarat Affair and various other scandals involving gambling and mistresses, assistance that led to him being granted a knighthood. In 1866 he married his second wife, the beautiful Elizabeth Eberstadt, a passionate devotee of the arts. Their home from 1876, 88 Portland Place, was a magnet for artists and musicians and none were more welcome than Burne-Jones who became a great friend of them both and their children. Burne-Jones may have been in love with Elizabeth, like so many other younger women in his circle whose affection and attention he craved in later years. After his death Lady Lewis destroyed many of his letters, feeling they were too intimate to be allowed to survive for others to read.

    Est: £5,000 - £7,000

    SIR EDWARD BURNE-JONES (1833-1898) FOR MORRIS & CO. 'ABRAHAM' STAINED GLASS PANEL, 1909 stained, leaded and painted glass 123cm x 44.5cm (frame size 128.5cm x 50cm) Provenance: The Chapel of Cheadle Royal Hospital, Cheshire Literature: Sewter A. Charles The Stained Glass of William Morris and his Circle, Yale University Press 1974, nos. 401, 428, 539Note: The contribution to the medium of stained glass by William Morris and his principal collaborator Edward Burne-Jones marked an epoch in its post-medieval development. By the 1890s, the reputation gained by Morris & Co. for their stained glass was such that a number of their patrons exclusively commissioned windows from the firm, to ensure the visual unity of their buildings. One such commission was from Cheadle Royal Hospital near Manchester, who in 1904 instructed Morris & Co. to glaze all of the windows of their new chapel. The glass was installed over four periods, 1906, 1909, 1911, and finally in 1915. The design for ‘Abraham’ was first employed in the scheme for St John the Devine, Frankby in 1873 at Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge in 1873-4, and further at St Martin's, Brampton in 1878. The guiding principles that governed the manufacture of the Cheadle windows can be found in an article by Morris in 1890 in which he stressed the importance of clarity of design and colour, ‘The qualities needed in the design […] are beauty and character of outline […] Whatever key of colour may be chosen, [it] should always be clear, bright and emphatic.’
