    • Vincenzo Leonardi Watercolor of a Female Capercaille
      Apr. 22, 2023

      Vincenzo Leonardi Watercolor of a Female Capercaille

      Est: $50,000 - $70,000

      LEONARDI, Vincenzo (Italian, 1590-1646). Western capercaillie, Tetrao urogalius [A Female Capercaille]. Watercolor and gouache over black chalk on paper watermarked with a crown surmounted by a star. Flaps at top and bottom pasted down on mount. Mount sheet in the dal Pozzo collection: type D. Type A frame lines along the top and bottom. Annotation "50" lower right. 18 1/2" x 22 1/2" sheet, 28 1/2" x 31 1/8" framed. This important natural history watercolor of the early Baroque period was part of King George III's collection at Windsor Castle. Provenance: Cassiano dal Pozzo, by descent to Cosimo Antonio dal Pozzo; Pope Clement XI; Cardinal Alessandro Albani; King George III; Mendelson, London; James R. Herbert Boone; Sotheby's (New York), 16 September 1988, lot 163; W. Graham Arader III. References: Vincenzo Leonardi, Western capercaillie, Tetrao urogallus, cat. no. 120 in McBurney and Violani, Birds, Other Animals and Natural Curiosities. The Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo, I, Royal Collection Trust, London 2017, p. 120. "This female capercaillie is a pair to [a male capercaillie in a private UK collection], and the two drawings bear sequential Pozzo numbers. The drawing is an accurate representation from life, showing the bird's characteristic cryptic plumage, orange-brown on the breast and brown with black and silver barring on the upper parts; the female has a grey bill, rather than the yellow bill typical of the male. As with the male, the legs are feathered. The depiction of the bird at life size (female 44-55cm, about 30 cm smaller than the male; as drawn c. 53 cm) made it necessary to extend the full-size folio sheet both at the top, to accommodate the crown of the head, and at the bottom to include the full length of the legs and the feet, together with the branch on which it is perching. The female is not shown in scale with the companion drawing of the male, which was too large to be drawn at life size." (Henrietta McBurney with Carlo Violani. The Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo. Series B- Parts Four and Five. Birds, Other Animals and Natural Curiosities. Pg. 314.)

      Fruiting Branch

      Est: $30,000 - $40,000

      Vincenzo Leonardi (fl. 1621-1646). Watercolor and bodycolor with gum heightening over black chalk. c. 1630-40. 10 x 13 inches, 14 1/4 x 17 inches framed. Outstanding selection of watercolors by Vincenzo Leonardi (fl. 1621-1646). The "Museo cartaceo" or "paper museum" of Cassiano dal Pozzo was a collection of over 7000 drawings of natural history subjects and antiquities, of which these drawings were a part. Assembled by the great antiquary and natural scientist over many years in the first half of the seventeenth century, it was one of the most remarkable collecting projects ever undertaken. In 1703 it was sold for 4000 scudi to Pope Clement XI (reg. 1700-1721), and in 1714 passed to his nephew Cardinal Alessandro Albani. Albani sold the collection in 1762 to George III for 14,000 scudi. At first housed in Buckingham House, most of the collection was moved to Windsor Castle where the bulk of it remains to this day. However, shortly after World War I fifteen volumes containing natural history subjects, along with one volume of drawings of antiquities, were sold by the then Royal Librarian, and were acquired by a London dealer Jacob Mendelson (d. ca 1970). It was then that they were broken up and dispersed. Since that time attempts have been made to trace the fate of the dispersed drawings, initially by Anthony Blunt, and then more recently by David Freederg and the Cassiano dal Pozzo Project, Royal Library, Windsor. Windsor Castle has been active in reacquiring many drawings and documents relating to this extraordinary work. Despite being separated for many years, ten watercolors of this series were rediscovered and offered at Bonham's in a December 2014 sale where they performed exceptionally well, achieving prices several times over the high estimate, and these are other excellent examples from the collection.
