▲ Sir Jacob Epstein (American-British, 1880-1959) Second Portrait of Kitty
Est: £3,000 - £5,000
▲ Sir Jacob Epstein (American-British, 1880-1959) Second Portrait of Kitty bronze with a golden-brown patina, conceived in 1947; together with a copy of 'Love Lucian: The Letters of Lucian Freud, 1939-1954' by David Dawson and Martin Gayford, published by Thames & Hudson Ltd., London, 2022 (32cm wide, 23cm deep, 32cm high; 41cm high overall on a marble base) (2, bronze and book) Footnote: Literature: E Silber, 'The Sculpture of Epstein', Oxford, 1986, p. 200, no. 387 (1), another cast illustrated. Kitty Garman (1926-2011) was the second daughter of Jacob Epstein and Kathleen Garman. Born out of wedlock, Kitty took her mother’s surname (Epstein’s wife Margaret had famously shot Kathleen out of jealousy some three years earlier, wounding her in the shoulder). Kitty studied at the Central School of Arts & Crafts, but abandoned her studies after she was introduced to Lucian Freud in 1947, marrying him a year later. Despite their turbulent relationship, Kitty became his most important early model, serving as the subject of 'Girl with a White Dog', 'Girl with a Kitten' and other masterpieces, which are among the most important and valuable of British 20th-century portraits. Condition Report: Dust and dirt to crevices. A few small spots of verdigris starting to emerge. Overall, in good aesthetic condition. If a more detailed report or additional images are required please contact the department.

⊕ SIR JACOB EPSTEIN (AMERICAN 1880-1959)
Est: £1,500 - £2,500
⊕ SIR JACOB EPSTEIN (AMERICAN 1880-1959) TIGER LILLIES, c.1930-6 signed Epstein lower left watercolour on paper 55.9 x 43.2cm (84.5 x 69cm framed) Provenance Private Collection Thence by descent to the present owner Jacob Epstein is most well-known for his ‘primitive’ approach and ‘direct carving’ to sculpture and as one of London’s most prominent artists of interwar Britain. Born in New York to Polish-Jewish parents, he made London his home in 1905 and took British citizenship in 1907. The present watercolour reveals a lesser known side of the artist. In 1933, Epstein was commissioned by the Dutch Old Master dealers, Ascher & Velker, to paint twenty flower studies from his studio in Epping Forest. Becoming entirely absorbed with the project, he recalled in his autobiography, ‘I said I would paint twenty and in the end I painted sixty. Not content with this, I went on painting, giving up sculpture for the time being, and painted three hundred more. I lived and painted flowers. My rooms were piled with flowers, and this was a wonderful and colourful period’ (Jacob Epstein, Epstein: An Autobiography, London 1955, pp.165-6). The series included poppies, sunflowers, roses, dahlias and more. ‘Tiger Lillies’ bursts at the edges like colourful fireworks, capturing the sensory experience rather than botanical accuracy. Tate Britain holds two of his most striking and controversial works, Rock Drill (1913-15) and the monumental alabaster sculpture, Jacob and the Angel (1940-41). London landmarks such as the Memorial to W.H. Hudson (Rima) in Hyde Park (1925), Night and Day (1928-9) for St James' Underground, Madonna and Child (1950-52) in Cavendish Square are all part of the London fabric.

Isabel Nicholas (1912–1992) was born in London’s East End. After completing her art education, she modelled for the sculptor Jacob Epstein and had a son by him; the child was subsequently adopted and raised by Epstein and his wife, only discovering his parentage later in life after becoming a racing driver. In 1934, she moved to Paris, where she became part of a vibrant artistic circle that included André Derain and Alberto Giacometti. Prior to the Second World War, she married Sefton Delmer, the Daily Express’s European correspondent, and during the war collaborated with him on the production of propaganda leaflets intended for distribution over Germany. Following the war, she married the composer Constant Lambert, and later, after his death, the composer Alan Rawsthorne. Nicholas was also closely associated with leading figures of the period, including a longstanding friendship with Francis Bacon, for whom she was an important muse. Today, a collection of her paintings is held at the Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden. Condition Report: Dust and dirt to crevices. Overall, in good aesthetic condition.

Jacob (1880) Epstein, British-American 1880–1959, Maquette for the Ascension of Christ, 1958-1959, Lead maquette mounted on Perspex., Height: 10 inches; Height (base) 13.75 inches
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
JACOB (1880) EPSTEIN British-American, 1880–1959 Lead maquette mounted on Perspex. Lead maquette mounted on Perspex. This maquette serves as a preliminary study for one of Jacob Epstein's final commissions, intended for Crownhill Church in Plymouth. The rugged texture, exaggerated drapery, and emotive gestures of the head and arms echo his earlier religious masterpieces, most notably the Christ Risen from three decades prior. Executed in his "Expressive Naturalist" style, the piece draws heavily from medieval sculpture—a debt most visible in the stylized rendering of the garments. The theme of ascension is physically manifested through the sculpture's upward-tending axes and sharp angles, all of which direct the viewer's eye toward the heavens.

His literary style was firmly rooted in both Indian and Western learning traditions and his work achieved widespread international appeal. In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 1915 he was knighted by the British, but subsequently, in protest of Britain's behaviour in India, he handed back his knighthood. He was a close friend of Mahatma Gandhi and was periodically involved in the Indian Nationalist Movement.
