PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE NEW YORK COLLECTION ENGLISH, 1839-1918 PORTRAIT OF A LADY measurements 43 by 28 1/2 in. alternate measurements 109.2 by 72.3 cm signed with the artist's monogram (lower right) oil on canvas We are grateful to Lucinda Hawksley for contributing to this catalogue entry. NOTE Carlo Perugini was born in Naples in 1839. When he was in Rome in the 1850s, Perugini met Frederic Lord Leighton whose style would have a lasting influence on his work for the rest of his career. Perugini, who Anglocized his first name to Charles once in England (where he relocated in 1863) may have served as a model for Leighton's Cimabue's Madonna (1855, Royal Collection). Perugini adjusted well to life in England, and started exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1863. The artist found further success (and gained more portrait commissions) in 1873, upon his marriage to Kate Dickens, the well-connected daughter of the best known author in England, Charles Dickens. An artist in her own right, Perugini's beautiful wife was also his most beloved subject, and it was initially suggested that the present work may represent her portrait. But the biographer of Kate Dickens, and her great-great-great-great niece, Lucinda Hawksley, has explained that this work is unlikely to be an image of Kate made from life. This is because her costume seems to be contemporary to the painting, and appears to date to the 1880s. Moreover, the model looks to be about 20 years old, while "Katey", as she was known, would have been in her forties by the time the work was painted. We know roughly what Kate looked like, from paintings Perugini himself made, such as Portrait of Mrs. Perugini (Charles Dickens Museum) and from works by other artists in her circle for whom she modeled, including John Everett Millais's great The Black Brunswicker of 1860 (Leverhulme Collection). And though the model in the present work shares some of her features, carries Kate's favorite flower, the rose, and wears a wedding ring, Perugini did not meet his wife until she was older than the sitter depicted here. They were married when she was 34 years old. It may be that some of the resemblance between Kate and the sitter in the present work are merely indicative of the artist's devotion to his wife, and his preference for including features similar to her own in his portraiture. The woman seen here, with her expectant gaze and beautifully detailed gown, is certainly imbued with a sense of wistful romance. Whatever the identity of the sitter in the present portrait, which has been out of the public eye since at least the 1980s, when it was found unattributed in an antique shop, this work is an accomplished example from Perugini's mature period. He painted a number of portraits of beautiful sitters, whose costumes and settings spanned the ages, again showing the stamp of Leighton's influence, whose models were so often posed in classical garb (see lot 208) The present work represents Perugini's successful translation of Leighton's preoccupation with the creation of a harmonious composition, translated into a contemporary portrait.

SILVIA 61 by 51 cm., 24 by 20 in. signed with monogram l.l. oil on canvas PROVENANCE Commissioned by the Graphic magazine, 1889; The Old Hall Gallery, Sussex; Sotheby's New York, 25 January 1980, lot 334, where bought by the present owner LITERATURE The Art Journal, 1889, p. 96 NOTE The dimensions of the present picture confirm that this painting is Silvia, Perugini's contribution to the series of paintings commissioned by the Graphic magazine for a volume entitled Heroines of Shakespeare, which was published by Sampson & Low in 1889. Twenty-one artists were involved in the volume, each painting a different female figure from the bard's tales. Among the more notable pictures in the series were Alma-Tadema's picture of Portia from The Merchant of Venice, Leighton's Desdemona from Othello (Leighton House), Waterhouse's Cleopatra (private collection) and Calderon's Juliet. The series proved extremely popular and Queen Victoria was so impressed by the paintings that she invited the managing director of the Graphic, William Luson Thomas, to Osborne House to inspect the pictures herself. Perugini chose to paint Silvia, a character from one of Shakespeare's sonnets rather than a heroine from a play. His elegant depiction of a voluptous red-haired model illustrates the following lines; Who is Silvia? What is she? That all our swains commend her? Holy, fair, and wise is she; The heaven such grace did lend her, That she might admired be. Is she kind as she is fair? For beauty lives with kindness: Love doth to her eyes repair, To help him of his blindness; And, being help'd, inhabits there. Then to Silvia let us sing, That Silvia is excelling; She excels each mortal thing Upon the dull earth dwelling: To her let us garlands bring. Who is Silvia? What is she? That all our swains commend her? Holy, fair, and wise is she; The heaven such grace did lend her, That she might admired be. Is she kind as she is fair? For beauty lives with kindness: Love doth to her eyes repair, To help him of his blindness; And, being help'd, inhabits there. Then to Silvia let us sing, That Silvia is excelling; She excels each mortal thing Upon the dull earth dwelling: To her let us garlands bring. The Graphic had commissioned another series earlier in the 1880s and invited artists to paint their favourite model to form a compendium of different types of female beauty. The series commissioned in 1889 gave the artists a more specific theme. However, inevitably '... the result is merely a dressing up in a new garb of the most attractive model obtainable at the moment. When the completed "studies," as they are called, of the Heroines, were shown last year in London, this was certainly apparent in more than one instance.' (The Art Journal, 1889, p. 96). The present picture has traditionally been thought to be a portrait of Perugini's wife Kate Dickens, daughter of Charles Dickens and was sold as such in 1980. However the auburn hair are the girl in this painting is not consistent with descriptions of Kate.

A BACKWARD GLANCE 43.5 by 33.5 cm., 17 by 13 ¼ in. signed with monogram l.l. oil on canvas NOTE Carlo (later anglicised to Charles) Perugini was born in Naples in 1839. He met Leighton in Rome in the early 1850s, and may have served as a model for the painting Cimabue's Madonna (Royal Collection), upon which Leighton was then working. In the later 1850s Perugini trained under Ary Scheffer in Paris. He then transferred to London in 1863, commencing as an exhibitor at the Royal Academy that same year. Perugini's style of painting, which is softly naturalistic and fluently handled, and in which is found a particular feeling for the textures of skin and cloth, owes much to the example of Leighton. Like his mentor, Perugini succeeds in making his compositions harmonious and elegantly unified, and introduces a living quality to what he paints by their freshness of texture and glowing animation. In the present portrait of an unidentified woman, Perugini placed his model against a background of vine leaves. He takes delight in showing the upper part of her back and the nape of her neck in bright light, but then treating her neck and the side of her face in shadow. Light then suffuses the distant side of the girl's face, so that the profile of her nose and right cheek tells strongly. The model wears a dress of black velvet, edged with white and an embroidered pattern, and with rich green sleeves of a bunched fabric. This style lends an antiquarian feel to the portrait. It is possible that the painting was intended as the representation of an historical character, or as an abstract female personification. The model's lustrous hair, dark and deeply set eyes, and pale complexion, may indicate that she herself was of Latin extraction. CSN

PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION KATE measurements note 63.5 by 45 cm., 25 by 17 1/2 in. signed with monogram l.r. oil on canvas PROVENANCE London, Mitchell Galleries; Private collection NOTE Perugini's portrait of his wife Kate shows her wearing a sumptuous green dress over a white blouse, facing to the right. She stands in a richly decorated room, with a stone dado and panels of scagliola, with a relief sculpture on the left. The antiquarian style of dress adopted and the splendour of the setting suggest that Kate is here being shown in an historical or literary role. Among Perugini's exhibited works are a number of female personifications or abstract figurative subjects under genre-type titles. Katherine (usually called Kate) Elizabeth Macready Perugini (1839-1929) was the daughter of Charles Dickens and the widow of the Pre-Raphaelite painter Charles Allston Collins, who had died in 1873. Kate Perugini was herself a painter of genre and figure subjects, and one who enjoyed friendly relations with a number of fellow-artists and collectors. Kate was strikingly beautiful, with classical features and lustrous dark hair which she usually wore with a central parting and gathered at the back of her neck. John Everett Millais painted Kate on several occasions, notably as the model for the female figure in his painting The Black Brunswicker (National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside; Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight), in 1860, and later for a portrait that he exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery in 1881. Perugini himself seems to have taken pleasure in painting her, both in modern-life and historical guises. One of the most elaborate of these works -- which combine accuracy of likeness with an historical flavour -- is a painting entitled Doubt (Christie's, London, 19 November 1965, lot 20) -- in which Kate appears with her sister Mollie. Carlo (later anglicised to Charles) Perugini was born in Naples in 1839. It is possible that he began his career as an artist's model, and it is likely to have been in this capacity that at the age of about fifteen he first encountered Frederic Leighton in Rome, at the time when Leighton was working on his early subjects Cimabue's Madonna and The Reconciliation of the Montagues and Capulets. In the later 1850s Perugini trained under Ary Scheffer, and may well have had further contact with Leighton at a time when they were both living in Paris. He seems to have settled in London in 1863, again perhaps on Leighton's recommendation, and this was also the year when he commenced showing at the Royal Academy. A series of payments from Leighton for services as a studio assistant, or perhaps because Leighton provided Perugini with financial support at a time when the younger artist was struggling to sell works, are recorded over a period from 1870 to 1879. Perugini's style of painting, which is softly naturalistic and fluent, with a particular feeling for the textures of skin, cloth and marble, owes much to the example of Leighton. Like his mentor, Perugini succeeds in making his compositions harmonious and unified, and with a glowing quality of light. CSN
