Highlights include: A 4pp. autograph letter and 1 autograph postcard form Paul Nash, "I have got a line onto some high degree German women through Edward Wadsworth". A half letter seemingly in Burra's hand with a drawing of a French sex worker. A 2pp. letter from John Banting, sent a few months before his death, "The bus (now 6.15) was full of Giles type little sparrow girls who created a shattering piercing uproar for half the journey - somebody should compose a horror symphony of tape recordings of voices jabbering..." Several letters from the photographer, and close friend of Burra, Barbara Ker-Seymer, "Sammy turned up to-day, and said that Francis Bacon (blind drunk) had arrived in Brighton in a hired car with John Deakin who is just about breathing his last (with great difficulty). He deposited John in the Ship Hotel with a bottle of champagne & returned to London. Sammy went to see John and found him sitting up in bed with no pyjamas & all the windows open, gasping for breath, completely alone. She propped him up with 6 pillows, and gave him a drop of brandy which he promptly sicked up with a lot of blood & phlegm..." c.20 letters and postcards from Burra's life-long friend Billy Chappell with whom he travelled during his formative travels through France.

§ Edward Burra C.B.E. (British, 1905-1976) The Window (Drawing Room at Springfield)
Est: £25,000 - £35,000
signed and dated 'E.J.Burra 1927' (lower left); further signed and titled 'The Window/E.J. Burra/Springfield RYE SX' (to a label attached to frame verso) watercolour and pencil Size:(56 x 39.2 cm. (22 x 15 3/8 in.)) Provenance:The artist, from whom acquired by Anne Ritchie (Lady Ritchie of Dundee) With The Lefevre Gallery, London, 15 December 1994, from whom purchased by the present owner Literature: Andrew Causey, Edward Burra: Complete Catalogue, Phaidon, Oxford, 1985, cat.no.26 (ill.b&w) Please note there is a preparatory sketch depicted verso Notes: "Edward Burra grew up in a house, designed, it would seem, to produce normality, conformity and absence of introspection; yet he became one of the twentieth century’s most original painters." – Jane Stevenson, Edward Burra Twentieth-Century Eye The Window (Drawing Room at Springfield) is one of a number of interior scenes that Burra created of Springfield. Other works titled, Cedar at Springfield, The Drive and The Garden were all executed the same year, in 1927. Burra was born in 1905 and grew up in the family home known as Springfield, or Springfield Lodge. The house is believed to have been acquired by the Burra family around 1864. Due to his lifelong struggles with rheumatoid arthritis and anaemia that caused chronic illness, Burra spent much of his life living at Springfield. This early depiction of The Window (Drawing Room at Springfield), in all its brilliance, showcases the exceptional powers of observation that characterised Edward Burra’s artistry and dominated his practice. Burra’s art captures the polarising notions of stillness and movement, parochialism and cosmopolitanism, and familiarity and fantasy. The Tate’s most recent exhibition, the first retrospective in London for 40 years, Edward Burra, (13 June-19 October 2025) was no exception in showcasing this. The show opened with the first picture Burra sold, French Scene of 1925-6, a vivid, engaging and vibrant depiction of many familiar faces, and included many notable early examples.The exhibition also included a later watercolour titled Peonies and Vegetables 1955-7 that captured the major shifts in Burra’s practice and his relationship to Springfield throughout his life. Peonies and Vegetables was a later depiction of Springfield and from a different perspective, the garden. This clearly captures a continuity and change in subject matter and a shift in perspective quite literally. In 1927, Burra captured the view from the window he looks out from the comforts of Springfield whereas this later work Peonies and Vegetables 1955-7 takes on a new meaning, being outside. A few years later in 1969, Burra moved from the main house at Springfield, to a smaller house on the grounds of his family estate where he lived independently for the first time. The Window (Drawing Room at Springfield is juxtaposing not only in execution from many of his 1950s creations but also subject matter. Burra had been inspired by travel in the form of many places, from Paris in the 1920s, New York and Harlem in the 30s and Spain following the devastation caused by The Spanish Civil War. While travel filled his imagination Springfield grounded his practice. The creation of this particular watercolour is so vastly different to later works which relied on vibrant colours, dark forms and defined figurations. This early work captures a delicacy and intimacy that Burra clearly felt at Springfield in his younger years. His working method of being a clearly accomplished draughtsman, drawing first and then using the medium of watercolour to create colour and wash was preferential to oil, which was difficult for his hands. This early work marks a significant point in his stylistic development, and a shift from his later works which capture the same British homeland, his familiar Rye, but depicts eerier, stranger scenes, deeper valleys and cloudier skies. It is with a sense of earnestness that this early iteration of the house at Springfield was created. The work stands alongside many as another insight into the creativity of Edward Burra, whilst this work preceds many of the places and faces he encountered, it demonstrates the limitlessness of Burra's artist vision. Burra’s world at Springfield provided the ideal foundation to artistic learning; both his formal education during art classes in Rye in 1921 and time that followed at both Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art. It was not just the physicality of his environment and space in which he inhabited at Springfield but the inspirations he drew elsewhere in whatever form he could, from meeting artist Paul Nash in 1925, to the vast amount of cultural creativity he later absorbed, his love for visual culture, music, ballet and the profound impact a changing world had him. This ultimately lead to a his depictions of skeletons, masked figures and ruined landscapes inhabited by military ghostly figures.

signed 'E.J. Burra' (lower right); inscribed 'Two Wine Barrel/Carmen Act I/C GYPSIES ACT II' (to the centre of sheet) watercolour and pencil Size:(43.2 x 43.2 cm. (17 x 17 in.)) Provenance:The estate of the artist, circa 1975, from whom acquired by The Lefevre Gallery, London, circa 1985, from whom acquired by the present owner Notes: "Burra’s designs for the stage were less about décor than about drama; each drawing hums with the tension and rhythm of performance." - Simon Bettison, Edward Burra and Theatrical Modernity” (2019) George Bizet’s tragic opera, Carmen, was first performed at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on 14th January 1947. Edward Burra, a lover of opera, designed the costumes, which were copied onto parchment paper and shared with Royal Opera House staff who added swatches of fabric and notes. Burra’s design work for Carmen stands at an intersection of fine art and theatre design. In the December 1993, The Lefevre Gallery exhibited Costume Designs by Edward Burra, the show included a number designs from different operas, including Carmen (1947), Don Juan (1948) and A Day in a Southern Port (Rio Grande) (1931), demonstrating how these sketches circulate in the art world but also remain significant in theatre history and visual culture. In the stage designs, Burra approached each work as a unique composition in the same way he would approach a composition, they are not sketches but complete works that are visually complete. For Carmen, he merged the energy of Spanish street life with stylised, almost cinematic composition. His costumes blended the realistic (military uniforms, gypsy skirts) with the surreal or grotesque. Burra’s Carmen designs were praised and contemporary critics at The Times (1947), who found them "rich, fiery and unmistakenly Burra".

▲ Edward Burra (1905-1976) The procession with 'E J Burra' estate stamp u.r., pencil and watercolour, with a pencil drawing of dancers verso 65 x 50cm, unframed Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 'Works from the Estate of Edward Burra, Lady Ritchie of Dundee and Associated Owners', 3 July 2002, lot 256; the property of a private collector. Edward Burra was known for his surreal, satirical depictions of modern life. Born in London and raised in Rye, Sussex, he battled chronic rheumatoid arthritis, which shaped both his lifestyle and artistic practice. Despite physical limitations, he developed a distinctive style, favouring large-scale watercolours. His early work focused on urban nightlife, revelling in the grit and glamour of brothels, bars and cabaret scenes. Burra’s fascination with Hispanic culture led him to Spain in 1933, during the turbulent years of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939). The country was undergoing radical political change - secular reforms, social unrest and rising tensions that would eventually lead to civil war. He was captivated by Spain's dramatic cultural traditions, particularly its religious processions, bullfights and theatrical Catholic rituals. Spanish art profoundly influenced him, from the eerie mysticism of El Greco to the stark realism of Goya and Zurbarán. Burra immersed himself in the culture, learning Spanish and surrounding himself with Spanish literature. He also travelled to Mexico, where the vibrant folk traditions and imagery of the Day of the Dead reinforced his fascination with ritual and the macabre. His undated drawing 'The Procession' showcases his signature compositional technique. The eye is led diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, where figures seem to move beyond the paper’s edge. This sense of momentum is key to his later religious-themed works. Burra’s cartoonist-like approach is evident - while most of the piece remains an outline, he selectively colours a few figures, particularly a striking, red-skinned face, adding both drama and mystery. This technique teases the viewer, leaving them wondering how the final piece might have looked, a hallmark of Burra’s ability to balance intrigue and narrative depth. Condition Report: There are several very small, repaired tears to the upper edge. A few light spots of foxing starting to emerge. Very light surface dirt. There is a little pale yellow discolouration in the lower right corner.
