Harmensz. van Rijn Rembrandt (Leiden 1606 - Amsterdam 1669), Cottages and farm buildings with a man sketching, Circa 1641. Etching, 13 x 20.9 cm (with small margin). Printed on heavy paper, probably a part of a sheet of large Imperial paper. E.H. Ariëns Kappers at TEFAF 2016 © TEFAF Maastricht, 2015

Excellent impression. Untouched (except for removing old hinges). Some light spots primarily to the right. The type of farm is found near the Amstel river in the vicinity of Amsterdam. Boudewijn Bakker identified it as a ‘langhuisstolp’ used to make butter and cheese. According to some scholars it could have been drawn on the plate straight from nature. The addition of the artist sketching falls also in a kind of tradition. The date of the print used to be ca. 1645. Hinterding links the watermark in an early impression to that found in the first edition of the Windmill, which is dated 1641 on the plate. Looking at the watermarks found he identifies two editions, the second around 1650. The Aylesford collection is especially famous for the group of Rembrandt etchings. A large part of these came originally from the collections of Röver, and Ploos van Amstel and also from the famous albums of Zomer, collected in the 17th century. We found no marks proving that our impression comes from these collections. The impression is however very good. Some scratches, in particular the stroke near the right upper corner is still visible. 

Provenance: 4th Earl of Aylesbury ?, Heneage Finch, 5th Earl of Aylesford (1786-1859)(Lugt 58); Hermann Weber (1817-1854). Some annotations in pencil verso suggest other collections as well

Hendrik Spilman (Amsterdam 1721-1784 Haarlem), View of Noordwijk. Pen, brown ink and watercolour. The sketch verso is in black chalk.

Watermark; LVG and Strasburg bend. Lubertus van Gerrevink (mill act. 1690 - 1819). Hendrik Spilman is foremost known for his topographical drawings and etchings. In 1742 he became a member of the St. Lucas Guild in Haarlem. He made 800 prints for ‘Het Verheerlijkt Nederland’ partly after his own designs. A few paintings are known. Our watercolour as a finished drawing stands out in his work.

Coat of purple silk brocad with floral spray pattern; waistcoat of pink silk brocad with flower and fur serpentine motif; breeches of red silk velvet. Mid 18th century, France. AC8940 93-29-AC4867 84-21-3-AC5916 88-55-35 © The Kyoto Costume Institute, photo by Taishi Hirokawa.

Mid-18th century menswear. The coat has large cuffs and deep pleats from both sides of the waist to the hem at the rear. The waistcoat is long enough to fully conceal the wearer's back. Both have gorgeous weave patterns, with silver thread used for the coat, and the waistcoat using gold thread and various colors of silk thread.

Before the modern period, Men's clothing worn by Western royalty and nobles was at least as splendid and gorgeous as that for women, as men dressed in a manner that would maintain class distinctions, flaunting their privileged status.

Brocade looms were able to manufacture patterns as required, but weaving took a long time and the weaver had to have an assistant to manipulate the harness cord that adjusted the warp threads. Manufacture of figured textiles only became more mechanized with the arrival of the Jacquard loom in 1804.

Men’s suit (Jacket, Waistcoat, Breeches), First half of 18th Century, Italia. Jacket and waistcoat of green silk gros-de-Tours moiré; trimmed with braids and tasseled frog of gold thread; breeches of yellow and white silk brocade with floral motif. AC11336 2005-15-1AD, AC11337 2005-15-2. ©The Kyoto Costume Institute, photo by Taishi Hirokawa.

Sumptuous eighteenth-century men’s suit. The glossy moiré effect that stands out from the green textile is produced using a horizontally-ribbed material called “gros-de-Tours” by folding the material repeatedly and passing it through a calender under pressure. The resulting textile gained a reputation of being indisputably beautiful.

Gold thread is used lavishly for the braid trimmings and frog fastenings. In addition to its rarity value, gold is highly resistant to oxidation, retaining its gleam almost indefinitely. Since ancient times, these properties have made it a valuable tool for flaunting the power and wealth of the wearer. Gold thread also has a long history, and is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible, written long before the start of the Christian era. Gold thread takes many forms, but this particular garment includes gold flat strips and gold strips wound around yellow silk thread.

The fabric used for the breeches has “bizarre” patterning. Such woven patterns were popular in England, France, and Italy around the end of the 17th Century and beginning of the 18th Century. They use asymmetric arrangements of combinations of plant patterns with elements having an oriental flavor.

Galerie Dansk Møbelkunst (stand 600)Director: Ole Høstbo

Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery specializes in rare, original works of Danish furniture that were created during 1920-70, when a circle of craftsmen, architects and designers erased the distinction between works of art and functional equipment for everyday life. Established by Ole Høstbo in 1992, Dansk Møbelkunst takes its name from the Danish word for Furniture Art, a term that is rooted in the handicraft tradition and signifies a synthesis of aesthetics, utility and craftsmanship. During the twentieth century, møbelkunst evolved from the reproduction of historical styles to the creation of truly modern furniture that relied on beautiful materials, rather than applied decoration, and finely-crafted details for its aesthetic value. The gallery's expertise encompasses both handcrafted masterpieces and iconic works of industrial design.

Sir Joshua Reynolds, P.R.A (Plympton 1723-1792 London), Portrait of Sir Gerard Napier, 6th Bt. (1739-1765), three-quarter-length, in the uniform of the Dorsetshire Militia, in a landscape, his hand resting on a balustrade. Oil on canvas, 127.5 x 101.5 cm. Agnew's at TEFAF 2016 © TEFAF Maastricht, 2015

Sir Gerard Napier, 6th Bt. was a soldier, and the son of Sir Gerard Napier, 5th Bt. (d.1759), and his wife Bridget, daughter of Edward Phelips of Montacute, and a descendant of the prominent royalist of the same name. This picture is one of two versions of the sitter by Reynolds, which Napier and his wife sat for in 1762. Joshua Reynolds is widely regarded as one of the greatest portraitists of the 18th century. Celebrated for capturing the leading figures of society of his day, he also helped establish a distinctive British school of painting. Reynolds’s portraits not only depicted the colourful society in which he lived, but were often the product of a collaborative relationship between artist and sitter, drawing on their biographies to personalise their portraits. In his attempt to raise the status of portraiture, he created the 'Grand Manner' which borrowed from classical antiquity and the Old Masters to fill his portraits with moral and heroic symbolism. An incredible socialite, social climber and self-promoter, Reynolds used his contacts to advance himself. Appointed President of the newly established Royal Academy in 1768, his annual lectures - or Discourses on Art - had a lasting impact on the contemporary theory of art and practice.

Agnew's (stand 369)Director: Anthony Crichton-Stuart

Thomas Agnew & Sons was established by Thomas Agnew in Manchester in 1817, and opened its London gallery in 1860, where the firm soon established itself as one of Mayfair’s leading dealerships. Since then Agnew’s has held a pre-eminent position in the world of Old Master paintings, and was instrumental in promoting contemporary British art in the late 19th century. 
Over generations, Agnew’s has acted as principal agents and advisors to some of the most important collectors of their time, including Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, Alfred Beit, Alfred and Ferdinand de Rothschild and more recently Paul Mellon, Norton Simon and the Samuel Kress Foundation. Agnew’s also often served as agent for the National Gallery, London in the auction rooms and has been involved in placing masterpieces in major museums around the world. The gallery has handled works by, amongst others, Caravaggio, Van Dyck, El Greco, Frans Hals, Poussin, Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Titian, Turner and Velázquez, including the latter’s Rokeby Venus in the National Gallery, London. 
In 2013, after nearly two centuries of family ownership, Agnew’s was purchased privately and is now run by Lord Anthony Crichton-Stuart, a former head of Christie’s Old Master paintings department, New York.
