Antique drawing | Sketch of a marriage, ca. 1800, 1 p.

Colored sketch or colored drawing study of a scene with a marriage in a church.Kneeling at the center of the composition is a couple: the woman in pink and green robes, with crown and veil, holding the hand of her spouse and looking down; the man wearing mustaches is clad in regal clothes and wears also a mantel. In front of the couple stands the priest in front of the altar.A very charming preparatory sketch for a painting or a colored illustration, possibly for a book. The central scene is framed within sharp dark lines. Some interesting preparatory elements like the squaring of the floor (to build a more truthful perspective), the unfinished arches leading to the roof of the church beyond the top framing line, and the palette preparation on the right margin of the paper, provide an idea of the artistic training of the executor. Fine use of light.Unsigned.[NL] Ingekleurde schets of ingekleurde tekenstudie van een scène met een huwelijk in een kerk. Antieke tekening van huwelijk in kerk.In het midden van de compositie zit een echtpaar geknield: de vrouw in roze en groene gewaden, met kroon en sluier, die de hand van haar echtgenoot vasthoudt en naar beneden kijkt; de man met snor is vorstelijk gekleed en draagt ook een mantel. Voor het paar staat de priester voor het altaar.Een zeer charmante voorbereidende schets voor een schilderij of een ingekleurde illustratie, mogelijk voor een boek. De centrale scène is ingekaderd binnen scherpe donkere lijnen. Enkele interessante voorbereidende elementen zoals het kwadrateren van de vloer (om een meer waarheidsgetrouw perspectief op te bouwen), de onafgewerkte bogen die naar het dak van de kerk leiden voorbij de bovenste kaderlijn, en de paletvoorbereiding aan de rechterkant van het papier, geven een idee van de artistieke opleiding van de uitvoerder. Fijn gebruik van licht.Ongesigneerd. Drawing on paper, black chalk, watercolor, pencil; mounted on cardboard passepartout. Total: 246 x 207 mm. In good condition.

[DILLON, John].

The Decision of the Three Judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, pronounced seriatim Monday, 11th of April, 1836, on the Applicability of the Marriage Act of England to this Colony; with a report of the case, and a review of the arguments.

Sydney, printed by William Jones 1836. Octavo unbound as issued (an early if not original strip of paper down the spine); [2],40pp (last blank), [1] (blank). Title and last blank quite dusty. Inscribed and signed by Dillon - then a solicitor to the Supreme Court - to John Gurner who arrived in Sydney in 1817 as Barron Field's clerk, became the chief clerk, and later a commissioner of the Supreme Court.
¶ Rare and one of the earliest authoritive attacks on legal judgments published in the colony - and worthy of notice as the case hinged upon the concept of legal independence from Great Britain. Ferguson (2116) appends an uncommonly long note indicating that he at least found it of interest ("important case" are his words). A John Maloney was convicted of bigamy but made representation that as he had first married after, and not in accordance with, the passing of the Marriage Act then his first marriage was invalid. The Chief Justice (Forbes) and Justice Dowling determined the Marriage Act had no application in New South Wales and found him guilty; Justice Burton disagreed as does Dillon in this pamphlet. He has found himself unable to merely report the case without comment as this decision now left the colony with "no law prevailing here as to marriage". Ferguson found three copies including his own and since then only one more copy seems to have found its way to an Australian library.
