  • Evelyn De Morgan,  Study of an uplifted arm 
    Mar. 12, 2025

    Evelyn De Morgan,  Study of an uplifted arm 

    Est: £400 - £600

    Evelyn De Morgan,  British 1855-1919-  Study of an uplifted arm;  black and coloured chalks on buff paper, bears initial 'M' (upper left) verso, 34 x 22.9 cm. (unframed / mounted).  Provenance:  From an album of de Morgan's drawings.  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  The present study is a characteristic example of de Morgan's sensitively shaded drawings, revealing the artist's process as he explores the depiction of bodies in movement, in highly-finished studies not only of full figures, but also of their arms, legs, and hands. Indeed, the artist produced a number of arm studies which resemble the present piece, including a work which sold at Sotheby's, New York, on 30 January 2023, lot 708 ($10,080), and another which sold at Christie's, London, on 13 December 2017, lot 9 (£3,250).

    EVELYN DE MORGAN (BRITISH 1855-1919)DESIGN FOR THE LEGEND OF GOOD WOMEN, AFTER GEOFFREY EVELYN DE MORGAN (BRITISH 1855-1919) DESIGN FOR THE LEGEND OF GOOD WOMEN, AFTER GEOFFREY CHAUCER Watercolour and pencil on paper 30 x 45.5cm (11¾ x 17¾ in.); and smaller Together with a figure study in chalk attributed to the artist's husband, the artist and ceramicist William de Morgan (1839-1917) (2) Pencil inscriptions naming the figures reveal the subject of the present watercolour to be Chaucer's Legend of Good Women, where the Prologue opens with the poet's dream of Eros (Amor) and Alcestis. Chaucer's poem narrates the stories of virtuous women from antiquity who suffered for love. This was a favourite source for William Morris and Burne-Jones and the artist may have used the text given in the former's famous Kelmscott Chaucer (1896). The best-known pictorial version is the Morris & Co stained glass panel by Burne-Jones from 1864 of Amor leading Alcestis back from the Underworld, with copies in V&A and William Morris Gallery collections.

A dark shadow of a dragon representing evil lurks behind her, yet her spirit passes safely across the water, towards the sunlight of the spirit world.

The present work is a study of Rosamund in Queen Eleanor and the Fair Rosamund, held by the De Morgan Foundation (Object Number P EDM 0030), which shows her seated in an identical pose, with Queen Eleanor to her right. The painting is rich in symbolism, a maze, two lovers in an embrace, a poison bottle, and shadowy evil forms – dragons, apes, and blood red roses lie at the Queen's feet. In contrast, winged cherubs and doves of peace accompany Rosamund and white roses, symbolising purity and innocence, lie at her feet.

    Est: £5,000 - £8,000

    De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Blindness and Cupidity Chasing Joy from the City, gold and pastel * De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Blindness and Cupidity Chasing Joy from the City, circa 1897, gold coloured pastel and black chalk on dark grey-brown wove paper contemporaneously laid down on backing board (probably by the artist), depicting the robed female figure of Cupidity, carrying a hoard of precious objects, reaching out towards and following the male robed figure of Blindness, the two figures driving out the angel of Joy from the city towards an iron gate with flowers and vista beyond, some small patches of surface abrasion, and a few fox spots to lower edge, 40 x 59 cm (15 3/4 x 23 1/8 ins), framed and glazed (46.5 x 65.3 cm) QTY: (1) NOTE: Provenance: Clayton-Stamm Collection. One of a very small number of works by the artist executed in gold on dark wove paper. Apart from one such study in Leighton House Museum ('Victoria Dolorosa'), almost all other known studies in gold pastel are held by the De Morgan Foundation, and only one, to our knowledge, has ever before appeared at auction ('The Angel of Death', Dominic Winter Auctioneers, Fine Art Sale, 8th November 2018, lot 458). Only a very few artists used this technique, Edward Burne-Jones being one of them. De Morgan bought dry 'cakes' of gold pigment which she ground to make her own paint and pastels, using them to infuse light and warmth into her works. The De Morgan Foundation (DMF) states "These curious artworks are unlike works by any other artists of the period", adding that they "sparkle with a rare luminosity". These studies seem in the main to have been part of De Morgan's prolific and meticulous output of detailed compositional studies for the full-scale oils she executed, although as the DMF says "These pieces can be considered works of art in their own right and it is apparent that Evelyn often sold them as such". The current work is a preparatory study for Evelyn De Morgan's large-scale allegorical oil 'Blindness and Cupidity Chasing Joy from the City', painted in 1897, and now in the DMF (object number P_EDM_0018; Evelyn de Morgan Oil Paintings, DMF, plate 35). The oil painting was exhibited at the Walker Art Gallery in 1898, at Leighton House in 1902-3, and at Wolverhampton in 1907. The two figures of Blindness and Cupidity are chained to each other, and grope their way forward to an iron gate which blocks the way, a theme which De Morgan returned to at the end of her career in 'The Barred Gate' (circa 1918-19). Both pictures, and a number of others by the artist, convey a powerful message about the spiritual desolation of a life devoted to the corrupting influence of materialism and greed. Evelyn de Morgan's wealth of preparatory drawings give the viewer a fascinating insight into the workings of the artist's mind. Of particular interest here is the figure of Cupidity, who is clearly female in the drawing, but which has morphed into a very much more androgenous figure in the oil painting, with a still feminine figure, but more masculine features (indeed, stated as male in the DMF catalogue online). The figures are obviously the artist's main preoccupation here, with the gate and vista to the right not yet delineated, the dynamic attitudes of the dogs yet to be worked out - their presence only alluded to in outline - and various architectural elements only sketchily outlined or absent. Indeed, this approach is typical of Evelyn's studies in gold; the background detail is pared away, and the figures, in all their beauty, come into stark relief.

    Est: £1,000 - £1,500

    De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Preparatory study of a female head, for The Captives * De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Preparatory study of a female head, for The Captives, coloured chalks and pastel on buff paper, head and shoulders portrait, half-profile turned to the right, of a dark-haired maiden, her head bowed and eyes shielded with her left arm, lightly foxed, visible sheet size 30 x 22.2 cm (11 3/4 x 8 3/4 ins), image size 13 x 17 cm (5 1/8 x 6 3/4 ins), mounted, framed and glazed (41.1 x 31.8 cm) QTY: (1) NOTE: Provenance: English private collection formed circa 1950-1970, thence by descent. The present work is a study for the left hand figure in 'The Captives', held by the De Morgan Foundation ('Evelyn De Morgan Oil Paintings', DMF, plate 62), which shows five classically draped female figures in attitudes of fear in a cave of stalactites and stalagmites amongst writhing dragons. The painting seems to give a message of worldly danger, both physical and spiritual, particularly for women, and the need to resist, a need which is achieved by a shared sisterhood. This study is a typical example of Evelyn's careful preparatory work, showing an accurate delineation of limbs and attitude, and exquisitely drawn features.
