However, the Orientalist and sporting scenes grabbed the most attention (w\/p = with buyer\u2019s premium). The sale\u2019s top lot was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The First Kiss of Sun<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by the Orientalist painter Jean-L\u00e9on G\u00e9r\u00f4me. Created in 1886, the landscape shows the Pyramids of Giza at dawn. The viewer is turned away from the rising sun and instead looks westward, where the day\u2019s first light is streaming over and hitting the very tops of the pyramids. Meanwhile, a camp of tents lies asleep, accompanied by their resting camels under a small group of palms. G\u00e9r\u00f4me created this landscape later in his career when recovering from a bout of influenza. It last sold at Christie\u2019s London in 2003 for \u00a3260K. It last sold at Christie\u2019s London in 2003 for \u00a3260K. It seems Christie\u2019s specialists believed that the market for Orientalist landscapes, or G\u00e9r\u00f4me\u2019s work in particular, is in a similar place since they gave the work an estimate range of \u00a3250K to \u00a3350K. <i>The First Kiss of the Sun<\/i> eventually sold at its low estimate of \u00a3250K \/ $327K (or \u00a3315K \/ $412K w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47998\" style=\"width: 245px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-13-at-12.19.46-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47998\" class=\"wp-image-47998 \" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-13-at-12.19.46-PM-300x249.png\" alt=\"A young boy and a young girl ride on their horses across an English country estate accompanied by dogs.\" width=\"235\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-13-at-12.19.46-PM-300x249.png 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-13-at-12.19.46-PM-1024x849.png 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-13-at-12.19.46-PM-768x637.png 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-13-at-12.19.46-PM.png 1462w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47998\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Honor and Hugh Vivian Smith<\/em> by Sir Alfred James Munnings<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right behind the G\u00e9r\u00f4me were two equestrian scenes, both by the British painter Sir Alfred James Munnings. The first shows a pair of children on their horses accompanied by dogs. According to the inscription on the back, they are the siblings Honor Smith and Hugh Smith, riding their horses at Weald Hall in Essex. The siblings were the youngest of Vivian Smith\u2019s seven children. In 1919, at the time of the painting\u2019s creation, Vivian Smith was the governor of the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation, which at one point served as the British government\u2019s exclusive marine insurance provider. Honor would later study medicine, becoming a professional neurologist specializing in treating tuberculosis meningitis. Meanwhile, Hugh joined the British Army and saw combat in Italy during the Second World War. He became a captain in the Irish Guards and was even temporarily promoted to major. Christie&#8217;s gave the equestrian double portrait the same estimate as the G\u00e9r\u00f4me, which it just barely missed, with the hammer coming down at \u00a3240K \/ $313.9K (or \u00a3302.4K \/ $395.5K w\/p). The third-place lot was a more typical Munnings work. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who\u2019s the Lady?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an oil on canvas painting measuring about 44 by 70 inches showing the moments before an aristocratic English foxhunt. All the men are upon horses and dressed in bright red jackets while a pack of hunting dogs scurries about. Several men are doffing their hats and bowing to the painting\u2019s subject, a lady in black sitting side-saddle upon a gray horse. Like some of the men in the scene, the viewer is left wondering the title question: who is she? Munnings reveals her identity in the inscription on the back of the canvas. She is Princess Mary, who at the time was Princess Royal, the sister to kings Edward VIII and George VI, and the aunt of Queen Elizabeth II. Christie\u2019s also offered <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who\u2019s the Lady?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> along with two studies, one on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/img\/LotImages\/2023\/CKS\/2023_CKS_21954_0013_007(sir_alfred_james_munnings_pra_rws_whos_the_lady_and_two_studies095347).jpg?mode=max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">board<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the other on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/img\/LotImages\/2023\/CKS\/2023_CKS_21954_0013_005(sir_alfred_james_munnings_pra_rws_whos_the_lady_and_two_studies095335).jpg?mode=max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">panel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

It is unknown where or when this scene is set, but the horsemen\u2019s clothing and the inclusion of camels might narrow it down to West Asia, the Caucasus, or Russia. This is a bit of a departure from Von Brandt\u2019s more recognizable work, which often featured either battle scenes or depictions of Polish peasant life. The last time <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Caravan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sold at auction was at Christie\u2019s London in 1998 for \u00a332K, far above its \u00a312K high estimate. Again Christie\u2019s underestimated <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Caravan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, expecting it to sell for no more than \u00a350K, yet it ended up making \u00a3170K &#8212; more than three times that number. Two lots later, there was Eugene Alexis Girardet\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lempertz.com\/lempertz_api\/images\/1029-1563-Eugene-Girardet-The-Flight-into.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flight into Egypt<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Similarly to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Caravan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Girardet\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flight into Egypt<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exceeded expectations the last time it came across the block. It last sold in 2014 at the Cologne auction house Lempertz for \u20ac46,360 against a \u20ac12K high estimate. This time, Christie\u2019s gave the Girardet a \u00a315K high estimate, which it quickly exceeded, reaching exactly three times that number at \u00a345K \/ $58.8K (or \u00a356.7K \/ $74.1K w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the one hundred twelve lots available, thirty-two sold within their estimates, giving Christie\u2019s specialists a 29% accuracy rate. Another thirty-eight lots (34%) sold below, while nineteen (17%) sold above. The sale as a whole did not do as well as it could have, likely because of the twenty-three lots (21%) that went unsold. Among the works bought in were several highly-valued lots like Sir George Clausen\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/img\/LotImages\/2023\/CKS\/2023_CKS_21954_0008_000(sir_george_clausen_ra_rws_portrait_of_a_girl125858).jpg?mode=max?w=780\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portrait of the Girl<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, estimated to sell for between \u00a3150K and \u00a3250K. There was also Frank Cadogan Cowper\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/img\/LotImages\/2023\/CKS\/2023_CKS_21954_0043_000(frank_cadogan_cowper_ra_fair_rosamund_and_queen_eleanor120029).jpg?mode=max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fair Rosamund and Queen Eleanor<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to which specialists assigned a \u00a3200K to \u00a3300K estimate range. Had these works received a bit more attention or had their reserves been slightly lower, the sale would have surpassed its \u00a32,794,700 total minimum presale estimate.
