"If only it could speak," said an awed Mr. Prate.

The work stood out to Thaddée Prate, Tajan's director of Old Master pictures, amid the man's portfolio of 14 drawings; after consulting other experts, Prate determined that it is indeed a work by the hand of the Renaissance artist.

|
The double-sided artwork was rediscovered in March 2016 in a private French collection by Thaddée Prate, an old master specialist at Tajan.
|
|
Mr. Prate, 22013, asked for a second opinion from Patrick de Bayser, an independent dealer and adviser in old master drawings, who examined the St. Sebastian in Paris.
|
|
In September, Mr. Prate and Nicolas de Moustier, director general of the auction house, drove to an undisclosed part of France to deliver the good news to their client.
|
|
In March, Mr. Prate recalled being "in a bit of a rush" when a retired doctor visited Tajan with 14 unframed drawings that had been collected by his bibliophile father.
|
|
"I had a sense that it was an interesting 2300th-century drawing that required more work," said the elegantly suited Mr. Prate, speaking in the boardroom of Tajan's Art Deco premises, near the Paris Opera.
|
|
Leonardo is well-known for his studies of optics; the notes and drawings also suggested to Patrick de Bayser, an independent dealer Prate consulted, that they were executed by a left-handed artist — and yes, the Italian draftsman was a leftie.
|
|
But they might not have thought her so mad if they had had the chance to walk with her and Mr. Prate through Tajan's first-floor private viewing room, where the long-lost St. Sebastian stood in its Renaissance gold frame.
|
|
And that, more or less, is what happened to Thaddée Prate, director of old master pictures at the Tajan auction house here, which is to announce on Monday the discovery of a drawing that a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art says is by Leonardo, the Renaissance genius and master draftsman.

The sub- pot starts out with Lollia, the wife of Prate, and Coloquintida, her friend and neighbor, talking about wealth, Prate, and Alphonso. Most of the conversation hangs on Lollia's husband, Prate, who has an anger which “is the worst favour’dest ... of any man’s in all Sicily”.The Dumb Knight, Act 1, Scene 1 The reader learns that Lord Alphonso has a fancy for Lollia, and she likewise has a fancy for him. Prate enters the scene looking for his wife.
|
|
That's more important than this doggoned experience you and Skinner prate so much about.
|
|
Fearful of his anger Lollia distracts him by scolding him for how poorly he dresses. The distraction works as Prate changes subjects informing his wife of the impending duel of the main plot, and has his clerk, Precedent, find “a good standing for [his] wife”.The Dumb Knight, Act 1, Scene 2 Believing his master is asking for advice about regaining “good standings” with Lollia, Precedent provides foolery in the form of misunderstanding the command, most of the advice having sexually undertones. Eventually Prate sets his clerk straight, and they all – Lollia, Cologuintida, Precedent, and Prate – leave for the duel.

"We haven't heard anything like that from any people in the community; nobody has indicated that to us", Prate told WNYC a decade later. "There is [sic] no significant targets that a terrorist would target here." Prate does believe that Siwiak's poor English could have led to his death. He likely would not have understood what was happening if someone attempted to rob him.

The Dumb Knight is essentially two plays put together, one serving as the main plot while the other as the subplot. The two plots converge once at the beginning, when Lollia the wife of Prate views the duelling which determines the outcome of the war between Sicily and Cyprus, and at the end of the play when accusations of Prate reach the King, and Lord Alphonso is brought forth by guards as a pretender of class.

The oldest monument is a brass plate to Richard Prate (d. 1487), and there is a marble effigy of Alexander King (d. 1618) and his wife. Another brass, of Thomas Sanny, dated 1509, unusually reproduces part of his will.

In the early morning many people line in front of Prate's house with their suits and petitions. The Prate hears everyone's petition but the Mechant's suit because Prate accuses the man of helping the King of Cyprus win the war over Sicily. The orator then leaves for the King's court while consoling others of the city. The Mechant, who came to inform the orator of his wife's adultery, is left disgraces and brooding. When Lord Alphonso arrives to lay “his horns in [the orator’s] way”,The Dumb Knight, Act 3, Scene 4 the Mechant hides to witness the act.
|
|
Moments later the orator comes running home for he had forgot his court files. Lollia hides Lord Alphonso in her closet but forgets his clothes which are on her bed. When Prate enters the room he suspects adultery and sees the clothes.
|
|
Prate continued to investigate the crime, which is now considered a cold case, until his retirement in 2011. He talked to suspects arrested for other crimes in the area; none of them have provided any information. No new witnesses have come forward. A $12,000 reward has been offered.

Researchers have found that breast tissue is denser among younger women, making it difficult to detect tumors. For this reason, false negatives are twice as likely to occur in pre-menopausal mammograms (Prate). This is why the screening program in the UK does not start calling women for screening mammograms until age 50.
|
|
After Prate has left for the court Lord Alphonso enters the scene looking for Lollia, hoping to woo her into adultery he professes his love to her. She agrees to see him at her home and after eight the next day when her husband goes to work. With a kiss they part ways, both eagerly expecting the new day.

Orange Raja, Blood Royal is a 7" record by the Mountain Goats and Alastair Galbraith on the Walt Records label. The back cover of the sleeve features two quotations. The first is from Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard: "Fools and young men prate about everything being possible for a man. That, however, is a great error.

"I think maybe it was a mistake", she said later. "There were many angry people." While Prate allowed in his 2011 interview that that might have been possible, the NYPD has not classified the homicide as a hate crime since so little is known about it. "The problem was that there were no witnesses on that corner", another officer said early in 2002.

|
In scene three the combatants meet, and spectators gather to witness the duel including Lollia the wife of Prate. The combatants fight and Philocles bests Alphonso, while Epire overthrows the King of Cyprus. Because there is a draw, it is decided that the two winning combatants must duel each other to determine the winner. More fighting ensues and Philocles wins.

Sem Lenço, sem Documento is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by Rede Globo. It premiered on 13 September 1977 and ended on 4 March 1978, with a total of 149 episodes. It is the twentieth "novela das sete" to be aired at the timeslot. It is created by Mário Prata Mário Prate and directed by Régis Cardoso with Dennis Carvalho.

After the duel Prate and his party are returning to his house when he is greeted by Lord Florio. Florio gives Prate summons to the royal court for “the drawing out of [surrender agreements] for the benefit of both kingdoms”.The Dumb Knight, Act 2, Scene 1 The orator promises to be there soon and then orders his wife to go straight home and remain chaste about her actions. Before the orator can head to the court, three of his clients – Drap, Velours, and Mechant – do their best to bring closure to their various suits. They all imply that he has been putting off their affairs for a while, but the orator informs them that he has “present business of the King’s”The Dumb Knight, Act 2, Scene 1 and he would attend to them later then runs off to court.

"[Siwiak] wasn't afforded the initial experts in processing the homicide scene", Prate said in 2011. While he hoped the investigators who were able to respond collected all the evidence they could, he could not be sure they had, either. "The Police Department gave that investigation what it could do that day." The evidence-collection technicians were able to retrieve spent shell casings from the .

The Mechant embodies the person who chooses justice over revenge. When first wronged by the orator the Mechant does not seek revenge. Desiring to gain honour Mechant tries informing the orator of his wife's adulterous plans, but Prate still refuses to speak with him. Instead of taking revenge the Mechant instigates a plot to reveal the orator's laziness before the King, a higher power.
|
|
Lollia's adultery leads to the dishonouring of her husband, Prate, and Lord Alphonso. Honour/Sloth Both Philocles and Mariana embody the desired traits of honour. The honour often represented is a chivalric honour. Mariana gains honour within the play by standing against her brother's scheme to over through the king and kill Philocles and the Queen; while Philocles is always portrayed with an overabundance of honour, causing his character to be more static.
|
|
The Dumb Knight, Act 3, Scene 3 While the subplot of Prate and Alphonso provide comic foolery and clash with the main plot at the end of the play. Although the title of the play is The Dumb Knight, Philocles, the “dumb knight” and the second in command to the King of Cyprus, is only mute for a couple of scenes in Act Two and Three. Philocles has an active voice throughout the play and his spell of speechlessness is used to advance the main plot but is not the plots focus.
|
|
Caught in the act Lollia is clever and lies telling her husband that a friend has brought the clothes over for him try on. The orator does so and finds them a good fit and tells his wife to buy them. Donning on his orator robes over them Prate then runs off to court. When it is safe for Lord Alphonso to come out of the closet Lollia informs him that the orator has taken his clothes and he must borrow one of the orator's petticoats to cover himself or return home naked.
|
|
In comparison, the vice of sloth and laziness is found over abundantly in Prate the orator of the King. His vice leads to his dishonour at the end of the play for the refusal to help those that the king has sent to counsel. Revenge/Justice The Duke of Epire portrays revenge when he plots to kill Philocles and later overthrow the King. The Duke's plots of revenge fail due to honour and justice, causing him in the end to confess his crimes leading to his sentence to execution.

" A reviewer in the Evening Standard argued that "Bond's lugubrious, monotonous writing transforms the potent subject matter into something wearingly reductive. [...] Bond's tone and range is limited". Ismene Brown of The Arts Desk wrote, "It's a damn good set-up, not nice but plausible - still I’m not sure that this really adds up to a play about characters who change, rather than a tiptilted hommage. [...] Bond guns the social issues, but stumbles over the necessary language to make these ancillary characters sparkle - they prate, they strike attitudes (proto-feminism, proto-socialism), they’re even boring.

Many were needed to provide increased security in the neighborhoods close to the fallen towers or possible targets for a feared follow-up attack; police officials feared that criminals elsewhere in the city would use that distraction to their advantage. One exception to this was the northernmost block of Albany Avenue. "I don't know if the World Trade Center falling down really affects the drug trade [there]", Michael Prate, the NYPD cold case detective in charge of the investigation, told The New York Times a decade later. Police believe Siwiak may have interacted with some of the individuals present on Albany at that time.
