Nude in Morning Chores. Oil on canvas by Robert Brackman, American 1898-1980. Brackman was an artist and teacher of Russian origin, best known for large figural works, portraits, and still life. This painting I interpret to being a maid, nude, pretending she is the mistress of the house and being waited upon. There is only one woman in that painting. Signed by the artist “Brackman” lower right hand corner. Au verso there is a hand written title by Brackman “Nude in Morning Chores” “Noank, Conn.”. Canvas is on a stretcher and is in perfect condition Circa 1955. Frame is stained and painted wood with gold highlights. Probably period with inner linen, bevelled edge fillet. I have a Letter of Guarantee & Appraisal giving provenance, from Anne French Fine Arts dated March 2004 with corporate seal. Excellent condition.
Bronze “Reclining Woman” with black patina by Fernando Botero. Signed and numbered: “Botero 3/6″ with the foundry mark just above his signature. Purchased from a dealer in Columbia and brought to Canada in 2002. The piece speaks of Botero’s creative impulse to show the strength and power of women. A fine piece of work. Excellent condition. No COA or paperwork.
Legue St. Brieuc. Watercolour by W. E. Atkinson, 1862-1926. Capturing the small seaside village of Jeouè St. Brieuc at dusk and low tide. Signed: “W. E. Atkinson. ’98.” lower right. Also the words “Legue St Brieuc” lower right. Frame could be period and repainted gold. Single dark green matt. Artwork in excellent condition.
Angell, Joseph. Georgian Silver (1714 – 1830). Four piece, Regency period (1811-1820), silver tea & coffee service, London, hallmarked 1818, 1819. Comprising: coffeepot, teapot, sugar bowl, and cream pitcher, each in pear form, the body hinged dome cover and circular pedestal foot repoussé with scrolling foliage and scroll form reserves. The reserves with genre scenes, lid with figural finial, leaf-capped scroll handles and swan neck spout. Note: in the 18th and 19th centuries, tea and coffee services were not produced, at one time, as a complete unit. Usually a 3 piece tea set would have been made, or a creamer & sugar, then the teapot would have been added and later a coffeepot. Silver was very expensive to buy during that period and as a result the wealthy purchased in this manner. It took two years to create this masterpiece. The detail is incredible and it’s easy to see the value and the amount of effort that went into producing this service. It has an oriental influence in the design and has cherubs frolicking and eating grapes. A wild boar is the main pouring handle anchor and the handles have ivory insulators. There are highly polished areas and filigree areas of infinite detail. Much of it done with a tiny punch and hammer from the back, to accomplish the background finish. A previous or original owner had a horse head engraved into the silver usually where the family crest or initials would go. Maybe it is a family crest. The silver tray is rare, Old Sheffield Plate (1743-1850) and is Circa: 1820. It’s a perfect match to the Joseph Angell silver service. I purchased the service and the tray at Fortunoff on Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. Museum quality. Exquisite.

Still Life with Flowers and Jug
Oil on canvas by Charles Cobelle. Still Life, Flowers with Jug. Signed lower right “Cobelle”. Slight creasing and couple of tiny areas of missing paint – in my opinion it doesn’t hurt the amount of joy taken from the painting. Could use cleaning. Piece of paper tucked into the back that states “Charles Cobelle (2002 – 2000) Still Life Flower, Size (9×18), Signed, Cobelle”. Nicely framed in wood with gold finish. Second, inner frame with linen mat and gold, inner fillet. Frame size: 32″ H x 13.25″ W. Canvas size: 17.5″ H x 8.75″ W.
