after François Duquesnoy Alessandro Algardi, A 17th century Italian carved ivory depiction of the Flagellation, copy after Alessandro Algardi or François Duquesnoy, Carved ivory and ebony set with amethyst, jasper, and other coloured gemstones, ormolu mountings. Three-figure group carved in the round on a rectangular plinth and a trompe l'oeil earth mound base. Christ depicted in the centre slightly elevated and tied to the column, flanked by two men in Roman legionary uniforms beating him with ropes and switches. The plinth is decorated with pietra dura, the column with stone veneer, the lisenes and capital of gilt bronze. The composition of this flagellation group, which is usually carried out in bronze, can be traced back to two leading personalities of the Roman Baroque: Alessandro Algardi and François Duquesnoy. Whereby Jennifer Montagu was able to specify this attribution in her publications from 1967 and 1985 (op. cit). The present version differs from the ascription to Algardi, as the two soldiers are not shown in loincloths like Christ, but instead wear tunics and leggings. Christ and the soldier on the left also show more connection to one another through the position of the heads and through eye-contact than in other examples of th In good overall condition. Wear to the ivory. H 73.3, W 58, D

Heinrich Maximilian Imhof, A marble figure of Miriam with the Timbrel by Heinrich Maximilian Imhof, White Carrara marble carved in the round.. Heinrich Maximilian Imhof entered the studio of Dannecker in Stuttgart in 1820 before travelling to Rome in 1824, where he continued his education under Thorvaldsen. In 1830, he received a commission from King Ludwig of Bavaria to create a bust of Emperor Maximilian I. In 1835 King Otto of Greece offered him a professorship in Athens, but he returned to Rome in 1838. He remained there until his death, primarily sculpting figures from the Old Testament. This work is signed to the plinth "H. IMHOF. FEC ROM. 1867" and depicts a striding young woman playing a tambourine. She represents the prophetess Miriam, who led the women of Israel forth with a song of victory following the parting of the Red Sea and the defeat of the Pharaoh's army in Egypt (Exod. 15:20). The present work is a smaller copy of the original life size marble version sculpted by Imhof in 1859 (now in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart). Minimal wear to the plinth, otherwise in pristine condition

Probably Landshut circa 1520, A clay figure of Saint Joseph from a Nativity scene, probably Landshut, circa 1520, Fired clay, worked three-quarters in the round, the reverse deeply hollowed out. Minimal remains of former polychromy. A figure of a kneeling bearded man with his hands folded in prayer, facing to the right and leaning slightly forward. The piece is presumably a figure of Saint Joseph from a Nativity scene. The size of the figure, designed for a slightly lowered viewpoint, and the pronounced curve of the spine indicate that it was designed to be placed in the tympanon of a church portal. The composition of this work displays generously folded drapery, and detailed expressive physiognomy and finely carved hair. This South German work probably originates from Landshut, where there were workshops producing large-format clay sculptures for use in architecture in the late Gothic period. A crack to the neck. Wear with losses, especially to the right shoulder, the lower left edge, and the back right hem of the robe. Some places overworked in clay and plaster. Mounted on a wooden plint
