Henry Pierce Bone (1779-1855)
“The Kiss of Judas”

The inscription on the counter-enamel suggests that the present lot derives from a work by Guido Reni, possibly the one listed in the 1664 Inventory of the Collection of Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna and described as Christ who is kissed by Judas and a soldier, a work by Guido Reni. The picture features again in a later inventory of 1679 attributed to an anonymous artist. A version of the same picture in enamel is known by Henry Pierce Bone’s father, Henry Bone, and dated 1812

CITES Regulations/Ivory Act 2018
CITES-restricted items and Ivory Exempt items will be accompanied by a current CITES Article 10 licence/Ivory Exemption Declaration where applicable and the licence/exemption declaration number will be displayed within the original catalogue description (required by UK law). Both CITES Article 10 licences and Ivory Exemption Declarations are non-transferable and buyers must apply for a new Article 10 licence/Ivory Exemption Declaration in their name if they wish to sell to a third party.
It is the sole responsibility of the buyer and/or contracted shipping agent to have in place the correct CITES re-export and import licences into the buyer’s chosen country before shipping can be undertaken.
CITES regulations are given on www.ukcites.gov.uk or may be obtained from:
The Animal and Plant Health Agency Centre for International Trade Horizon House Deanery Road Bristol BL1 5AH wildlife.licensing@apha.gsi.gov.uk 0117 372 3700
