EDMUND PINK (1795-1847)
Est: £500 - £700
A DESIGN FOR A CENOTAPH watercolour over pen and ink on paper 37 x 51cm Provenance: Abbott and Holder, December 1999. Design for a Cenotaph, with a lateral depiction of the structure and in the upper right hand corner, the ground plan. The latter shows a square central building, circular on the interior, with each side of the square preceded by a double colonnade, producing a cruciform plan. The whole is raised on a plinth, approached by steps on each side. The building is therefore related to the numerous mausolea designed in the early years of the 19th century along classical lines. The lateral view shows that each colonnade was to be preceded by pairs of mourning figures. The colonnade is ionic, with an arcaded superstructure bearing wreaths and pilasters, surmounted by funerary urns, aligned with the columns beneath. The central space emerges as a drum for a dome, crowned by a broken column which emerges from what seem to be the sterns of ships - suggesting that the design was intended for a naval monument. The words - DESIGN - FOR - A - CENOTAPH - inscribed in ink at the bottom. Edmund Pink was an architectural draughtsman and trader with the firm of Standfast & Co. In 1820 he traveled to The Cape, going on to Rio de Janeiro in 1821. On both legs of the journey he kept a journal and made numerous topographical illustrations. Christies sold these in 1994 and 1997. The albums exceeded their estimates, with the Brazilian collection selling for £41,000 and the South African material for £22,000. Abbott and Holder acquired a collection of his architectural drawings in 1999. These do not seem to belong to the foreign journeys and some are dated to the mid 1820s. The quality of his architectural drawing, reminiscent of Soane, suggests he was professionally trained, but no buildings by him have yet been traced.
