CIRCLE OF HYACINTHE RIGAUD (FRENCH 1659 - 1743) PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN IN ARMOUR Oil on canvas 81.5 x 63.5cm (32 x 25 in.)

CIRCLE OF SIR PETER PAUL RUBENS (FLEMISH 1577-1640) PORTRAIT OF CARDINAL-INFANTE FERDINAND OF SPAIN (1609-1641), THREE-QUARTER LENGTH, WEARING ARMOUR, A WHITE LACE COLLAR AND A RED SASH Oil on canvas 65 x 53cm (25½ x 20¾ in.) Provenance: Private Collection, CanadaCardinal Infante Ferdinand was the son of King Philip III of Spain and the younger brother of the future king, King Philip IV. Following a significant victory against a Swedish-German army at the Battle of Nördlingen, Ferdinand succeeded the Infanta Isabella as Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, finally making his triumphal entry into Antwerp on 17th April 1635. In 1636, Rubens was officially named as the Peintre de l'Hostel de Son Altèze, the post he had previously held under the Archduke Albert and the Archduchess Isabella. Rubens produced a number of portraits of the Cardinal-Infante, including a fully autograph work of the same composition, which was sold at Christie's on 9th July 1993, lot 30 (£397,500 GBP). A fine version, probably period and formerly in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was also sold at Sotheby's, New York, on 30th January 2014, lot 233 ($16,250 USD). All the half length portraits of the Cardinal-Infante are usually said to derive from the full length equestrian portrait of the sitter at the Battle of Nordlingen by Rubens, now in the Prado, Madrid. However, the existence of a three-quarter length portrait by Rubens at the Ringling Museum of Art, indicates that this portrait type might have been conceived by Rubens independently of the full-length portrait. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Craquelure and surface dirt throughout. Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. The paint starting to wear thin in places, particularly in the background. Inspection under UV light reveals retouching throughout. Condition Report Disclaimer

An outstanding Second War ‘Relief of Tobruk’ Immediate D.C.M. group of six awarded to Company Sergeant-Major R. Oliver, 1st Battalion, Durham Light Infantry Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.VI.R. (4448623 Cpl. R. Oliver. Durh. L.I.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star, 1 clasp, 8th Army; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted for display, light contact marks, otherwise good very fine (6) £2,800-£3,400 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 24 February 1942. The recommendation for an Immediate D.C.M. states: ‘At Tobruk on the night 7/8th December, 1941 ‘C’ Coy carried out an attack on the left of the Battalion on Pt 157. Cpl Oliver became separated from the rest of the Coy in the dark. He collected seven men, carried out two assaults on enemy M.G. positions, captured two machine-guns and twenty prisoners and then organised a defensive position with enemy captured weapons on the flank of his Coy. He showed great courage during the operations and was an excellent example to his men.’ On the 3 December 1941 the 1st Durham Light Infantry received orders to support the Border regiment in an attack focused on an enemy held position known as Point 157. If successful the Durhams were then to move through and attack a second position known as Point 162, both positions being on the escarpment east of El Duda. The evening of the 3rd was spent in preparation as the men of 1st D.L.I. were lorried to positions occupied by the Essex Regiment near El Duda. On 7th December the go-ahead was finally received but with one small amendment; the 1st D.L.I. would lead the attack supported by the Border Regiment. At 17:00hrs the men, assisted by scouts of the Essex Regiment, set out for their start line which this was reached at 19:20hrs, zero hour being 20:30hrs. With “A” Company on the left and “C” Company on the right supported by “B” Company and elements of H.Q. Company with “D” Company also following up, the 1st Durhams set off at 20:30hrs precisely in perfect text book order. There was a three quarter moon illuminating the starry sky when suddenly the desert air was filled with tracer and machine gun bullets which all seemed to be heading in the direction of 1 D.L.I. “B” and H.Q. infantrymen found what cover they could in holes and disused sangers. “A” Company unfortunately were caught in the front line of the enemy fire while “C” Company unbeknown to Lieutenant-Colonel Arderne had reached the enemy and had began clearing them. 2/Lt. Bruce Ballantyne attempted to lead a platoon of “A” Company in a move up the enemies flank yet despite their efforts the move failed and 2/Lt. Ballantyne was himself killed. The overall picture however was not good to continue the advance as it was would result in a great number of casualties; with this in mind Captain Jim Gray, the Adjutant, was sent back through the Durham lines in an effort to bring up tanks to support the floundering infantry attack. A short time later through the pitch blackness the British armour was sighted, and promptly fell into the holes and sangers which “B” Company were sheltering in! They managed to haul themselves free and laid down very accurate fire on the enemy positions. Rallied by this, Colonel Arderne gave the order to “B” and “D” Companies to fix bayonets and charge. Following behind the tanks they advanced into the enemy positions only to find “C” Company already there! Led by Captain Adrian Keith, M.C., they had cleared out the enemy and were busily rounding up prisoners. It was at this point that Captain Keith was killed by an Italian who had surrendered but was still in possession of a hand grenade. Corporal Oliver’s impressive gallantry did not go unnoticed and “C” Company without doubt took the full honours for their action that night. When the Border Regiment duly arrived to take over they found that their work had already been taken care of by the Durhams, thus bringing about the relief of Tobruk. Ralph Oliver was the son of Wilfred and Flora E. Oliver (née Cherry) of 27 Gas Street, Hartlepool. Wilfred had himself served with 2 D.L.I. at the outbreak of W.W.1 and was an old contemptible. Ralph was the eldest of seven brothers, two of whom were killed during the war, and attended Brougham Street School. Enlisting into the Durham Light Infantry at the age of 17, he saw pre-war service in India, Sudan and China with both regular battalions (1st and 2nd D.L.I.). He earned the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Tobruk whilst with “C” Company 1st D.L.I. and finished the war having attained the rank of Company Sergeant-Major. In 1948 he attended Buckingham Palace where he was presented with his D.C.M. by the King.

Lieutenant-Colonel Harold Marcus Ervine-Andrews, VC (1911 – 1995), Irish-born British Army officer and 1940 recipient of the Victoria Cross for actions with the BEF near Dunkirk, a Service Dress tunic of Ervine-Andrews VC, bearing East Lancashire Regiment insignia and a black fabric shoulder patch with bullion-embroidered initial A, Victoria Cross and other medal ribbons, its tailor's label inscribed with Ervine-Andrews' name and dated 22 December 1945, together with a 1944 Military Identity Card, newspaper cuttings, his Funeral Mass order of service etc. [London Gazette 30 July 1940, "War Office, 30th July, 1940. His Majesty The KING has been pleased to approve of the award of the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned: Lieutenant (acting Captain) (now Captain) Harald Marcus ERVINE-ANDREWS, The East Lancashire Regiment.For most conspicuous gallantry on active service on the night of the 31st May/1st June, 1940. Captain Ervine-Andrews took over about a thousand yards of the defences in front of Dunkirk, his line extending along the Canal de Bergues, and the enemy attacked at dawn. For over ten hours, notwithstanding intense artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire, and in the face of vastly superior enemy forces, Captain Ervine-Andrews and his company held their position.The enemy, however, succeeded in crossing the canal on both flanks; and, owing to superior enemy forces, a company of Captain Ervine-Andrews' own battalion, which was dispatched to protect his flanks, was unable to gain contact with him. There being danger of one of his platoons being driven in, he called for volunteers to fill the gap, and then, going forward, climbed onto the top of a straw-roofed barn, from which he engaged the enemy with rifle and light automatic fire, though, at the time, the enemy were sending mortar-bombs and armour-piercing bullets through the roof.Captain Ervine-Andrews personally accounted for seventeen of the enemy with his rifle, and for many more with a Bren gun. Later, when the house which he held had been shattered by enemy fire and set alight, and all his ammunition had been expended, he sent back his wounded in the remaining carrier. Captain Ervine-Andrews then collected the remaining eight men of his company from this forward position, and, when almost completely surrounded, led them back to the cover afforded by the company in the rear, swimming or wading up to the chin in water for over a mile; having brought all that remained of his company safely back, he once again took up position. Throughout this action, Captain Ervine-Andrews displayed courage, tenacity, and devotion to duty, worthy of the highest traditions of the British Army, and his magnificent example imbued his own troops with the dauntless fighting spirit which he himself displayed."]
