Antonio Alberto Nunes (Lisbon, 1838-1912) 'La Primavera'(Spring), 1889 White Carrara marble H 163 cm Signed and dated on the base 'Alberto Nunes / 1889' Provenance: commission by João Maria Correia Ayres de Campos, later 1st Count of Ameal (1847–1920), Coimbra; collection of the Count of Ameal, Coimbra; sale of the Collection of the Count of Ameal, July 1921, lot 1 (Printemps) Literature: J. B. d’Oliveira, 'Alberto Nunes - Esculptor portuguez', O Occidente: Revista Illustrada de Portugal e do Estrangeiro, vol. XXXVI, n° 1253-1255, Lisbon, 20 October-10 November 1913, pp. 332-347; Vente d’Objets d’Art - Collections 'Comte d’Ameal', July 1921, lot 1, Printemps This important life-size marble figure represents Spring as a young woman crowning herself with flowers. With both arms raised, she ties the ribbon of a floral garland around her hair, while a finely carved drapery falls from her shoulder and is gathered around her waist. La Primavera was commissioned directly from Antonio Alberto Nunes by João Maria Correia Ayres de Campos, later 1st Count of Ameal (1847-1920), the distinguished Portuguese collector and humanist based in Coimbra. The circumstances surrounding the commission and the creation of the sculpture are documented in the contemporary Portuguese illustrated journal O Occidente. The article describes Ayres de Campos approaching Nunes to commission 'a statue of a woman' and subsequently identifies the completed composition as Primavera. It describes 'a beautiful young woman crowning herself with flowers', with her arms raised as she ties the ribbon of the garland, and records the importance of the commission for the sculptor’s career. The sculpture subsequently remained in the Collection of the Count of Ameal, Coimbra. It is documented in the catalogue of the sale of the Ameal Collection in July 1921 as lot 1, under its French title Printemps, where it is described as a statue in Carrara marble by Alberto Nunes, measuring 1.63 metres in height.

EOS Earrings Crafted in sandblasted 18kt yellow gold, the earrings radiate a soft, sunlit warmth. Their matte surface captures light with subtlety, creating a gentle and enduring glow. At the heart of each piece rests a natural, white, step-cut diamond. Framed by flowing lines and delicate pavé diamonds, its architectural brilliance recalls the moment dawn first appears on the horizon - quiet, luminous and full of promise.
