Est: CHF2,000 - CHF3,000
George Dawe (1781-1829), d'après (XIXe siècle), Portrait d'Alexandre Ier de Russie, huile sur toile, 88x61 cm.Notre portrait est un exemplaire de format identique à celui, réalisé par Georges Dawe en 1825, conservé au Musée Russe de Saint-Petersbourg (signé et daté en bas à droite, inv. '-6348). On en trouve un autre exemplaire au Musée d'Art de Rybinsk, oblast de Yaroslav (signé en bas à droite, n° inv. inconnu). Le tsar est représenté en manteau de général de cavalerie, coiffé d'une casquette, dans le parc de Tsarskoie Selo, avec, au fond, à gauche, la galerie de Cameron. George Dawe avait été recruté par le tsar, en 1818, afin de constituer une impressionnante galerie de 336 portraits de tous les généraux russes ayant participé à la Grande Guerre Patriotique de 1812, contre Napoléon. Cette mission lui prit dix ans et l'épuisa : il rendit l'âme un an seulement après son retour en Angleterre, en 1829.Le tsar est logiquement un des modèles les plus représentés par Dawe, depuis la date de première pose, le 28 mai 1823 (cinq ans après l'arrivée de l'artiste!). La version prototype est celle, monumentale, conservée au Musée de l'Ermitage (1824, 238 x 152cm., inv. ''-4947). On ne dénombre pas moins de quatre versions de portrait du tsar, avec variantes d'uniformes, de paysages ou de formats, lesquelles ont chacune été peintes plusieurs fois.Provenance: Acheté par M. Jean-René Bory dans le fonds Crousaz en 1969. La famille Crousaz ayant eu plusieurs alliances avec la famille de la Harpe depuis le XIXe s., ce tableau s'impose comme l'héritage de Frédéric-César de la Harpe (1754-1838) qui a reçu ce portrait directement de l'Empereur dont il était le précepteur. Dans les publications du Musée des Suisses dans le monde, il est d'ailleurs mentionné: "ce portrait serait un don du tsar à son précepteur et ami, le Vaudois Frédéric-César de la Harpe".. Dans une gravure de L. Courtin, conservée au Musée Historique de Lausanne (inv. I.11.1.2.a), représentant le cabinet de travail de La Harpe, rue Marterey, un portrait d'Alexandre Ier, du même modèle que le nôtre est accroché entre les deux fenêtres.

Version 1. This is a portrait of King Leopold I, King of Belgians, by George Dawe. Leopold I (Leopold Georges Chretien Frederic; German: Leopold Georg Christian Friedrich; 16 December 1790 - 10 December 1865) was from 21 July 1831 the first King of the Belgians, following Belgium's independence from the Netherlands. He was the founder of the Belgian line of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His children included Leopold II of Belgium and Carlota of Mexico, Empress-Consort of Maximilian I of Mexico. He was a maternal uncle and adviser of Queen Victoria. He was born in Coburg and died in Laeken. By birth, he was a Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, later a Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duke of Saxony. Leopold was the youngest son of Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, and Countess Augusta Reuss-Ebersdorf, and later became a prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha after Saxe-Coburg acquired Gotha from Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg in 1826 and yielded Saalfeld to Saxe-Meiningen. In 1795, as a mere child, Leopold was appointed colonel of the Izmaylovsky Guards Regiment in Russia. Seven years later, he became a major general. When Napoleonic troops occupied the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg in 1806 Leopold went to Paris. Emperor Napoleon I offered him the position of adjutant, but he refused. Instead, he took up a military career in the Imperial Russian Cavalry. He campaigned against Napoleon and distinguished himself at the Battle of Kulm at the head of his cuirassier division. In 1815, at the age of 25, Leopold reached the rank of lieutenant general in the Imperial Russian Army. Version II. This is a portrait of British General Thomas Picton. Discussion: The portrait was probably made in his younger years. Biography of Thomas Picton: Picton was the younger son of Thomas Picton, and was born in Poyston, Pembrokeshire, Wales. In 1771 he obtained an ensign's commission in the 12th Regiment of Foot, but he did not join until two years later. The regiment was then stationed at Gibraltar, where he remained until he was made captain in the 75th in January 1778, at which point he then returned to Britain. The regiment was disbanded five years later, and Picton quelled a mutiny amongst the men by his prompt personal action and courage, and was promised the rank of major as a reward. He did not receive it, and after living in retirement on his father's estate for nearly twelve years, he went out to the West Indies in 1794 on the strength of a slight acquaintance with Sir John Vaughan, the commander-in-chief, who made him his aide-de-camp and gave him a captaincy in the 17th foot. Shortly afterwards he was promoted major in the 58th foot.

GEORGE DAWE (ENGLISH 1781-1829) Princess Charlotte, 1818 oil on canvas 140 x 110 cm (55 x 43 1/4 in.) signed and dated G DAWE R.A PINXIT/1818 PROVENANCE Acquired from the summer residence of the King of Hannover, Castle Herrenhauser, with partial inventory label on stretcher, and collection stamp on the canvas verso EAFC [Familien Fideicommiss Seiner Majestaet des hochseligen Koenigs Ernst August von Hannover. 1836.1843] Sotheby's, Munich, Works of Art from the Royal House of Hanover, October 6, 2005, Lot 588 EXHIBITED Annual Exhibition of the Royal Academy, London, 1818 (No. 42, Her Late Royal Highness Princess Charlotte) This portrait of Princess Charlotte Augusta was painted in 1818, shortly after the tragic death of the young Princess (1796-1817). Apart from being an exceptionally visually appealing early 19th century portrait painting with both a Royal sitter and a Royal provenance, the present lot is quite historically significant. It is difficult to overestimate the effect that the untimely death of the Princess Charlotte of Wales had on the people of Great Britain. The closest event in recent memory to which one could compare it, would be the death of Princess Diana in our time. After Charlotte's death, the entire country went into mourning, with shops closing for two weeks, and even the Exchange and Law Courts closing, amongst other institutions. George Dawe was a favored English portraitist of high society. An Academician at the Royal Academy of the Arts, his patrons included the Duke and Duchess of Kent, as well as Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold. This painting, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1818, was consequently a reverent and exquisite homage to the Princess by one of her own favorite painters. One can certainly imagine the emotions that this portrait stirred in its viewers, painted as it is with an ethereal but still vital quality, with the beautiful beloved Princess surrounded by the heavens. George Dawe is a very well known artist in Russia. This is thanks to the Duke of Kent, with whom he toured through Europe in 1819 shortly after exhibiting this painting at the Royal Academy. As a result of his tour, he was commissioned by Tsar Alexander I to paint 329 portraits of the Russian officers who defeated Napoleon, which form the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Indeed, Dawe lived in St. Petersburg from 1822-28, working on the commission, and in 1828 was even appointed First Portrait Painter of the Imperial Court.

GEORGE DAWE, R.A., 1781-1829
Est: £180,000 - £250,000
PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION, ENGLAND PORTRAIT OF TSAR ALEXANDER I IN THE UNIFORM OF THE PREOBRAZHENSKY GUARDS 87.5 by 61cm., 34¼ by 24in. signed in Latin l.r. and dated St. Petersburg 1826; inscribed on reverse Moberly / Petersburg 1826; further stamped with Moberly arms on reverse of canvas oil on canvas PROVENANCE Presented by Tsar Nicholas I to Charles Moberly in St. Petersburg 1826; Thence by descent; Phillip's London, Early British and Victorian Paintings, 3 June 1997, Lot 52 NOTE In 1818 Alexander I invited the British artist George Dawe RA, portraitist to the Duke of Kent and main rival of Sir Thomas Lawrence, to Russia to create what is now the War Gallery in the Winter Palace. Over the course of ten years in St Petersburg, he and his assistants Poliakov and Vassily Golike painted over 300 portraits in celebration of the generals who achieved victory in the 1812 Patriotic War. Dawe thus established for himself a glittering and extremely successful career in Russia. He was elected an honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Arts, and created First Portrait Painter to the Russian Court by the Tsar. He established a large and productive studio in the Russian capital, where Russian and British assistants helped him with numerous high society commissions. He earned Pushkin's praise, and the poet dedicated one of his works to the British artist. Dawe was also a favourite of Alexander I who gave him a large studio in the Imperial Winter Palace, and paid him generously for his work. In spring 1823 Dawe wrote with evident joy and pride to a London friend, The Emperor has given me a sitting about a week ago. He will give me as many as I require and I fancy I shall make a very successful picture... One of these 'successful pictures', showing the Emperor full-length in Life Guards' uniform with Russian and foreign decorations and cocked hat in hand, was sent to London to Lord Londonderry in 1824. It was this portrait, engraved by Thomas Wright and published in London in 1826 that became the iconic image of the Russian Tsar. Dawe was officially given the exclusive right to make and license copies of this portrait, thus the only authorized versions were produced by Dawe himself in his St. Petersburg studio. A few full-length portraits of the same type are now kept in famous collections in Russia. One larger than life size version can be seen in the Alexander Room of the Hermitage (inv no 4467) and another, dated 1825, in The State Russian Museum (inv no 3922). A third from 1826 is part of the Royal collection in England (No 746). Similar portraits of Alexander I painted in the small format often preferred by Dawe, dated between 1825 and 1828 are now in royal collections in Britain (No.745) and the Netherlands (inv no IB 46722), in the Wellington Museum, London (dated 1825, 80 by 56.5cm), in the vaults of The State Museum at Peterhof (inv no 755). This very familiar official image of the Emperor was reproduced on porcelain, jewelry, in miniatures and in the engraving by Wright and Bennet depicting Alexander I visiting George Dawe's studio in the Winter Palace. After the death of Alexander I, Nicholas I commissioned a number of high quality official portraits of his brother to present to royal relatives and foreign diplomats in memory of the deceased Emperor. The offered lot was given to the British diplomat Charles Moberly in 1826 and bears a seal with the Moberly arms on the reverse (fig.1). His connection to George Dawe was reinforced when Moberly, as Acting Counsel General in St. Petersburg, was responsible for the legal formalities of finalising the portraitist's estate in the early 1830s. By keeping the correspondence with Dawe's relatives and lawyers, Charles Moberly did a great deal to preserve the artist's legacy. We are very grateful to Dr. Galina Andreeva for her help in cataloguing this lot.
