The Black Cape 50s-60s

Print on paper. At the bottom the words "Gallery Five PU4/IK - Black Cape by Audrey Beardsley - Printed in England". This is a 1950s-1960s reissue by the London gallery of one of the Art Nouveau illustrations made by Audrey Beardsley for Oscar Wilde's play "Salomé: a tragedy in one act", written in French in 1891 by Oscar Wilde, published in London in English for the first time in 1893 and released the following year with sixteen illustrations by the young artist. Wilde's irreverent genius found full expression in Beardsley's drawings: Beardsley's elegant black and white silhouettes are the exact icon of the style that the designer and writer embodied, that is, the figure of the dandy who elevates himself and his life to a work of art, through an egocentric satisfaction in his own aesthetic refinement. Beardsley's flat, asymmetrical, superficial decorations were in sharp contrast to trompe l'oeil naturalism, to everything that is volume or plastic body, to massive, heavy, overloaded forms, to excess of detail, in short to the taste of the mature Victorian era. The work is presented in a frame.

Number 39

Classic moccasins in shiny wine-colored leather, with hand-stitched stitching in waxed thread. Sole made of rubber. The historic brand, founded in 1876 in Maine, is famous for having introduced the first moccasin, inspired by a Norwegian shoe for agricultural use. The article seems to have never been used, but probably just worn, in fact it is almost perfect.

Oil on canvas. English school of the late 19th-early 20th century. Signed Drummonds lower left. The scene, set in the countryside, features an elderly farmer who, having stopped working in the fields, as indicated by the two draft horses harnessed to the plow behind him, reads a letter with the help of a young woman, while a small girl offers wild flowers to her mother. The letterhead reads the incipit "Dear father.."; on the ground is the envelope with an address to England. The familiar scene evokes the tenderness of the young woman towards the elderly man, probably her father-in-law, with whom she shares the joy of the news received from the dear distant one. The work is presented in a golden frame from the mid-20th century.
