      Est: £8,000 - £12,000

      A LEAD FIGURE OF MERCURY measurements note mercury: 35.5cm., 14in. base: 17cm., 6¾in. on associated late 18th century lead flared base PROVENANCE Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1837-1898), Hermesvilla, Vienna; Prince Eugen of Bavaria, her great-grandson; sold his sale, Sotheby's Munich, 5 July 1988, lot 7 LITERATURE F.Scholten & M.Verber, From Vulcan's Forge. Bronzes from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam 1450-1800, exh.cat., Daniel Katz Ltd., London, 2005, pp.122-25, no.38, fig.38b NOTE The fortuitious rediscovery and purchase by the Rijksmuseum of a bronze version of the present Mercury in 1959, monogrammed HDK and dated 1611, allowed for the Utrecht-born sculptor and architect Hendrick de Keyser to be identified as the creator of the model. It formed an important addition to the small corpus of bronzes by his hand and formed the basis for further attributions to be made. While de Keyser's style can generally be found to mirror the work of painters such as Bloemaert, van Haarlem and Wtewael, Scholten points out that his immediate source appears to be Bartholomesus Sprangers's drawing of Hermes in his Hermes, Athena and the Industrious Artist. The Rijksmuseum bronze can probably be identified with the Mercury recorded amongst items that passed to his widow Barbara van Wildere, in an inventory taken after de Keyser's death in 1621. By 1624 a mould of it was amongst the stock-in-trade of the Delft silversmith Thomas Cruse, together with moulds of compositions by Giambologna, Arent van Bolten and Daniel van Tetrode. Two other bronze casts of Mercury are known in Braunschweig and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The activities of Cruse and the existence of unsigned bronze replicas demonstrate that there was a market in the Netherlands for small-scale statuettes by well-known sculptors. The present statuette is a rare example in lead of this practice. The Empress Elizabeth, affectionately known as 'Sissi', owned the present figure of Mercury in the late 19th century. Appropriately given its subjectmatter, she kept it in her private retreat, the Hermesvilla, which also featured a monumental marble statue of Mercury within the grounds.

Artist's studio by Balthasar van den Bossche (d.1715) of Antwerp, sold Sotheby's London, 12 December 1990, in which a cast of de Keyser's Mercury is depicted

      A GILT BRONZE BUST OF WILLIAM I, PRINCE OF ORANGE measurements note bust: 14cm., 5 1/2 in. the tapered bust wearing a soft hat and stiff lace ruff with buttoned doublet and a fur collared coat, the shoulders and waist ending in scrolls, inscribed at the waist AE T 51 PROVENANCE Sold in these rooms as part of The Cyril Humphries Collection 11 January 1995, lot 77 LITERATURE C.Avery, 'Hendrick de Keyser as a sculptor of small bronzes', Studies in European Sculpture, London 1981, p.186, fig.26 NOTE Henrick de Keyser was one of the most important sculptors in the 17th Century Netherlands. He was also an architect and was became city architect and sculptor of Amsterdam when he moved there in 1591. His portrait busts include one of Vincent Jacobsz Coster in the Rijksmuseum and his small bronzes include the Mercury monogrammed HDK, a version of which is in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, Paris. The present bronze shows William I of Orange, known as William the Silent (1533-1584), at the age of fifty one, the year of his death. Having inherited large Protestant domains in Brabant, Flanders and Holland, William of Orange was sent as a boy to the Catholic Court of Charles V, where he enjoyed the confidence of the Emperor, but was distrusted by his son Phillip II. By the mid-sixteenth Century the people of the Netherlands detested the presence of the Holy Roman Empire in the guise of Spanish troops and the cruelties of Spanish religious persecution of Protestants. William of Orange found himself obliged to withdraw to Germany until 1571 when he mounted his long attack against the Catholics, which lasted until his assassination in 1584 by a young Burgundian Catholic fanatic named Balthazar Gerard.
