(BRITISH, 1755-1834) POSSIBLY KING CHRISTIAN IV OF DENMARK, OR HENRY SOMERSET, 5TH EARL OF WORCESTER enamel on copper, three quarter length portrait standing by a table with a red cloth, the subject with a gold hoop earring, wearing a white satin doublet with lace collar and cuffs, a black cloak over his right shoulder, and black jewelled hat with white ostrich feathers, the Order of the Garter hanging on a blue satin ribbon around his neck and a sword at his waist, holding gloves in his right hand, signed, in a gilt and gesso frame 20cm x 16.5cm Note: The subject of this flamboyant portrait of a Jacobean gentleman remains a bit of a mystery. Copied from the original oil painting at Knole House by Bone in the early 19th century, it was believed at that time to be of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. The handwritten label on the reverse, as well as those on the preparatory grid drawing now in the National Portrait Gallery of the same subject, indicate this. The original Knole oil portrait was attributed to Frederico Zucchero, a 16th century Italian Mannerist painter, who was commissioned by Dudley to paint portraits of himself and Elizabeth I. This attribution is now considered incorrect and the painter of the Knole portrait is currently listed as 'unknown' as is the identity of the subject. Subsequent research now finds two other likely sitters for the portrait. The first is King Christian IV of Denmark, the other is Henry Somerset, 1st Marquess of Worcester. Both have portraits consistent with the Knole portrait but with some minor differences, in particular the fullness of the beard and the Cross of St George medal. It is a common occurrence that attributions from the 18th and 19th century have been changed or amended as more thorough research and comparisons with known portraits become available. Although Robert Dudley would have been a compelling subject for Henry Bone's series of Elizabethan portraits, it is unlikely this portrait, magnificent as it is, can firmly be said to be him. Provenance: The Collection of Lady Lanesborough, previously at Swithland Hall, Leicestershire. Henry Bone (1755-1834) The son of a cabinet maker and carver, Henry Bone (1755- 1834) was born in Cornwall in 1755. Appointed Enamel Painter to George III, the Prince of Wales (later George IV), and William IV, and a Royal Academy Member, he became famous for the skill and scale of his works, his copies after oil paintings gaining him the reputation as the 'Prince of Enamellers'. Starting as an apprentice at the Plymouth Porcelain Works, he moved on to the Bristol China Works in 1772. Over the following six years Bone developed his talent, dedicating himself to china decoration and artistic studies. Upon the closure of the Bristol China Works in 1779, he moved to London and found employment decorating fans and watches before his first Royal Academy Exhibition in 1781. Following the exposure he gained from these exhibitions he decided to focus solely on enamel painting, a regular feature at the Royal Academy. He exhibited A Muse and Cupid in 1789, at the time the largest enamel painting ever executed. He later went on to surpass himself in 1811 with his most famous piece, a work after Titian's Bacchus and Ariadne. Previous work in enamel had only been a few inches across, featuring in miniatures and jewellery. At the time the process involved bonding the enamel paint onto a metal sheet, usually copper, through a firing process. The firing would often last for several hours but as the colours would fuse at different temperatures, there was a risk that certain paints may crack and buckle while others were still setting. To reduce the risk of deformation artists would only enamel onto small pieces. Bone experimented with the firing process as well as with his enamel paint formulas and developed enamel paints that would fuse reliably within a narrow heat range and true to colour, enabling him to produce such large, high quality works. Henry Bone's stature had grown so much that he received 4,000 visitors while exhibiting Bacchus and Adrianne at his house in Berners Street, eventually selling it for the large sum on 2200 guineas. It is now in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, who purchased it at auction in 2013 for £313,875. His next great projects included a series of eightyfive historical portraits of figures from the time of Elizabeth I, a series of Civil War cavaliers, and also a series of portraits of members of the Russell family. While the Elizabethan portraits were not a financial success for Bone they are considered among his greatest works. The portraits in our sale are prime examples of Bone's prowess, skill and attention to detail. The extravagant portrait of a man wearing a white ostrich plume hat, originally believed to be Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester but now identified as possibly King Christian IV of Denmark or Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester, displays all the confidence and swagger of a gentleman at the top of his social and political world. Bone's annotated grid sketch for this large and fantastic portrait, a copy of an original at Knole House, survives and is also in the collection of National Portrait Gallery. Suffering from failing eyesight and poor health, Bone offered to sell his collection of enamels to the nation but it was declined. After his death in 1834, it was dispersed and sold at auction by Christie's in 1836. It is believed these four came into the collection of the 5th Earl of Lanesborough, who was furnishing Swithland Hall at this time. It is a rarity to have four of Henry Bone's remarkable portraits available at one time and from one source..

  • Heir of the Month: May 2016
    HEIR OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 Princess Victoria of Kent How to educate a last minute heir: The Duchess of Kent and the Kensington System Jennifer Henderson Crane In 1861 Queen Victoria suffered a devastating loss that brought her to the brink of collapse. “The dreaded calamity has befallen us,” she recorded in her journal at Windsor Castle, “which seems like an awful dream, from which I cannot recover.” For those even remotely familiar with Queen Victoria, the image of the black-draped monarch is immediately evoked, a wife in perpetual mourning for the beloved husband she lost in 1861. However, the quoted line does not refer to the passing of Albert the Prince Consort, but instead to that of his paternal aunt and mother-in-law, Victoire, the Duchess of Kent, who passed away in March of the same year. Henry Bone: The duchess of Kent with her daughter, the future queen Victoria (c. 1824/25) Victoria had an at times fraught relationship with her mother, but Victoire’s death appeared to erase the past difficulties and animosities, leaving her daughter feeling like a bereft child. She opened herself fully to her grief, so much so that her obsessive hold onto mourning protocol provoked much commentary even outside of court circles. In her work, Magnificent Obsession, Helen Rappaport quotes an American diplomat lamenting that, “‘the Queen carries her sorrow at her mother’s death to an absurd extent… There are no balls this season and in lieu 1 HEIR OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 thereof but one concert, and to this only the Ministers, and their Ladies and Chief Secretaries only are to be invited’.” Just as Victoria held varying emotions for her mother, so too have historians held variant stances on Victoire, as well as on her perceived motives and ambition.

Howland St. [recommended by] Mr Planta/ 6 months This is probably intended for the Scottish landscape painter Hugh Irvine (1782– 1829), who exhibited from 8 Howland Street in 1809. “This young gentleman, at an early period of life, manifested a strong inclination for the study of art, and for several years his application has been unremitting. For some time he was a pupil of Mr Reinagle of London, whose merit as an artist is well known; and he has long been a close student in landscape afer Nature” (Thom, History of Aberdeen, 1: 198). He was the third son of Alexander Irvine, 18th laird of Drum, Aberdeenshire (1754–1844), and his wife Jean (Forbes; d.1786). His uncle was the artist and art dealer James Irvine (1757–1831). Alexander Irvine had four sons and a daughter; Alexander (b.1777), Charles (b.1780), Hugh, Francis, and daughter Christian. There is no record of a Ralph Irvine among the Irvines of Drum (Wimberley, Short Account), nor was there a Royal Academy student or exhibiting or listed artist of this name, so this was surely a clerical error or misunderstanding.

    Large Text Labels George IV Art & Spectacle 1 Welcome to the Chambers Gallery The label text follows the order in which works are displayed in the gallery. Please ask a warden for assistance if you have any difficulty. 2 George IV (1762–1830) had a lifelong fascination with art and architecture and formed one of the greatest collections of paintings and decorative arts in Europe. The eldest child of George III and Queen Charlotte, George was clever and wilful, and railed against his parents’ authority. As a young man he became known for his mistresses, drinking and his dandyish clothes. Satirists issued prints which criticised his lifestyle, and his exploits were recounted with horror in newspapers. In 1811, when his father became unable to rule through mental illness, George was appointed Prince Regent. He became King on his father’s death in 1820. He was an unpopular monarch, whose lavish lifestyle was out of touch with a country suffering from economic hardship and political turmoil. 3 George’s collection of art furnished his residences, which themselves were masterpieces designed by leading architects. His carefully choreographed spectacles displayed the magnificence of monarchy, chief among them his coronation. George’s purchases remain some of the greatest works in the Royal Collection. His architectural vision created the palaces in London and Windsor still used today. William Heath, All the World’s a Stage, and one man in his time plays many parts, 1824 © Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove 4 Robert Seymour (1798–1836) The Great Joss and his Playthings c.1829 Etching with hand colouring Seymour’s satirical print was made at the end of George’s life to criticise his extravagant expenditure and love of ‘oriental’-style art and architecture.
