Pencil on paper, initialled (lower right), 23cm x 17cm, (38cm x 32cm framed), £3,000. (Provenance: from the collection of the artist Michael Leonard (British 1933-2023).

Vaughan was a British painter. His work is held in the collections of the Government Art Collection, National Galleries Scotland, National Portrait Gallery, Tate and Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK. In the 1940s, with his friend John Minton, he was one of the leading exponents of Neo-Romanticism, characteristic works of this time being coloured drawings of moonlit houses. His later work, in which he concentrated on his favourite theme of the male nude in a landscape setting, became grander and more simplified, moving towards abstraction.

For 20 years after WWII, he lived and worked in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Bolivia and Venezuela, before moving back to Rome in 1971.

Oil on canvas, signed (in the postcard), 61cm x 45.cm, (77cm x 62cm framed), SOLD

Alongside his more conventional output, Hennessy created a body of work which was far more personal and, for its time, ground-breaking. He addressed issues of masculinity, sexual identity and homosexuality, which, for post-war Ireland was highly extraordinary and extremely brave. This painting depicts a 16thC Florentine marble (Jason and the Golden Fleece currently in the V & A collection), portrayed as a magazine page pinned to a timber plank, with a red rose projecting through the paper. Hennessy has signed the painting, on an envelope within the picture. The stamp is a self-portrait. Exbibited: De Profundis, Patrick Hennessy, IMMA, 2016.

Vaughan was a British painter. His work is held in the collections of the Government Art Collection, National Galleries Scotland, National Portrait Gallery, Tate and Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK. In the 1940s, with his friend John Minton, he was one of the leading exponents of Neo-Romanticism, characteristic works of this time being coloured drawings of moonlit houses. His later work, in which he concentrated on his favourite theme of the male nude in a landscape setting, became grander and more simplified, moving towards abstraction.

Oil on canvas, signed and dated (lower left), 30cm x 24cm (41cm x 34cm framed), £6,000

A prodigious talent from an early age, Pagliacci took part in the Venice Biennale in 1929 or 1930 at age 16 or 17. For 20 years after WWII, he lived and worked in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Bolivia and Venezuela, before moving back to Rome in 1971. This work, undoubtedly painted in South America, evokes a repeated motif in his work; a Harlequin. Although little is written of his private life, a great deal of his work has an overwhelming homoerotic flavour.

Harold Frederick Abbott, (Australian 1906-1986), Model in a Studio, c.1950s

Oil on canvas, signed (lower left), 59cm x 49cm (72cm x 62cm framed), £7,500

An Australian artist, who studied at the Royal Academy in London in the 1930s, Abbott became highly accomplished in portraiture, still life, and genre paintings. After enlisting in the army during WWII, in 1943 he was appointed an official war artist. After the war, he dedicated himself to teaching at the National Art School in Sydney, where he later became the head and State Supervisor of Art. The style and composition of the painting, suggests it was painted in the 1950s; by the late 1960s Abbott abandoned narrative and figurative works in favour of bold abstract compositions. His work is in the collections of National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, as well as various regional art galleries across Australia.
