58 19th June 2010 international events DAWSON SAILS AGAIN
THE subject of this 3ft 6in by 2ft 4in (1.07m x 71cm) oil on canvas by Montague Dawson (1890-1973) offered by Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (15% buyer’s premium) in Maine on May 22-23, is The lofty trader Scottish Moors. Built by Richardson, Duck & Co. at Stockton-on-Tees, between 1890 and 1911, this large iron-hulled ‘windjammer’ formed part of W.H. Ross & Co.’s prosperous Scottish Line before she was sold into service in Scandinavia. There she was refitted as a four-masted schooner and given an engine, and finally broken up in 1922, but Dawson chose to paint Scottish Moorsin her prime. Offered in its original hand-carved gold frame, it went to a Maine buyer on the phone at $62,500 (£42,520). While Dawson is known to have painted another view of Scottish Moors, a deck scene entitled Up She Rises,noted in Ramsey’s catalogue raisonné, this appears to be the picture offered by Bonhams in London last September. There it had failed to sell with a £30,000-50,000 estimate. Another object with an element of déjà vu, was a 4in (10cm) Beijing enamel vase with the blue four- character mark for the emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) and of the period. Decorated in the famille rose palette with phoenix and flowering scrolls to an imperial yellow ground, this vase had been purchased by the late vendor from the Ralph Chait Galleries, New York in 1983. Bidding from Hong Kong and mainland China buyers took it to $55,000 (£37,410) – a solid sum but not in the league of the $180,000 it had achieved at the equivalent sale in May 2009. Regrettably, on that occasion, the winning Chinese bidder failed to pay his bill.
