Lined, three keys missing, a little slack. A quantity of dirt and debris behind bottom stretcher. There is a noticable line around the edges of dirt and disrupted varnish, likely where it was in a slightly smaller frame. Brittle age craquelure throughout, mostly stable but with a little elevation and a few sharp lifting points associated with blows from the reverse and at the bottom edge. There has been a history of flaking at the bottom edge and at the left edge, which appears mostly stable at the moment. There are however, small areas of associated loss of paint and ground, with some crude retouching to these in places. There are scattered losses throughout, some partly retouched and some retouched (it appears that the retouching might have been partly removed??). See images. Some of the losses are unretouched. The larger losses are located at the bottom edge, to tle left of the jewelled crown, to the bottom of the lace where it falls over the bust etc. There are scattered losses, retouched, in the face including in the forehead and eye. It is difficult to see any further losses in the background due to the degraded old varnish. There has been a bit of abrasion to the paint layers. There is a thick degraded varnish, yellowed, with an uneven surface gloss, minor scuffs, surface dirt, drips.

Follower of Sir John Baptist de Medina,  Flemish / Spanish / Scottish 1659-1710- Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Brigadier General Lord William Hay, half length, in a brown cloak and white stock; oil on canvas, oval, 76.5 x 63 cm. Provenance:  Property of the late Hugo Morley-Fletcher, MA FSA (1940-2022).  Note:  The present work very much recalls the work of de Medina, an artist of Flemish-Spanish descent who enjoyed considerable success as a portraitist in London and Edinburgh. He is also well-known for producing the first illustrations for John Milton's (1608-1674) 'Paradise Lost' in 1688.  Brigadier General Lord William Hay (1668-1723) was the son of John Hay, 2nd Marquess of Tweeddale (1645-1713), brother of Charles Hay, 3rd Marquess Tweeddale (1670-1715), and husband of Margaret Hay (1686-1758).

In February 1644 he was a member of the Privy Council of England and the Privy Council of Scotland, and on 20 November was one of the Commissioners appointed to meet the king at Uxbridge, when he made efforts to persuade King Charles I to agree to the establishment of Presbyterianism. He was Secretary of State for Scotland from 1660 to 1680, and had almost absolute power there. He was a member of the Cabal ministry, but took little interest in English affairs. He was created a Duke in 1672.

After William Scrots,  English fl.1537-1553- Portrait of King Edward VI, three-quarter-length, in a gold-embroidered doublet, red fur-trimmed cloak and black coat; oil on canvas, 75.5 x 63 cm. Provenance:  with Richard Philip, 1994.  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  This painting is a copy after a contemporary portrait of Edward VI (1537-1553) attributed to Scrots in the Royal Collection [RCIN 404441], which was probably completed not long before the King's accession on 28 January 1547. The original features a more detailed backdrop, with a window to the left looking out to a deer park, and a view of Hunsdon House, Hertfordshire in the distance. The stance and clothing of Edward VI in the present work, however, are strikingly similar to the original portrait, although the jewel around his neck appears to depict the knight on horseback associated with the Order of the Garter, rather than the coronet and feathers of the Prince of Wales.

Lot 139

A Southern German or Tyrolean polychrome wood model of a Saintly King, c.1490, with gilt decoration, depicted with crown and orb, 112cm highProvenance: With Wilhelm Henrich, Frankfurt am Main, 1957; private collection, Germany, acquired from the above. Thence by descent to the present owners.Note: The identity of this figure as a King is suggested by his attributes of a crown and the orb, formerly surmounted by a cross. While the loss of his second attribute perhaps a sceptre does not allow for a more precise identification, it is likely that a saintly King, such as St Oswald or St Henry II, is represented. Traditionally thought to have been made in the Tyrol, the figure can be compared to Saint Nicholas dating to circa 1470 from St Georgen am Pinzgau (A. Legner, Spätgotik in Salzburg: Skulptur und Kunstgewerbe 1400-1530, exh. cat. Neues Haus, Salzburg, 1976, p. 129).Condition Report: Overall minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. The proper left hand is lost and there are some chips, and the proper right hand is reattached. The tips of the feet are reattached or carved separately. The front section of the drapery with blue lining is carved separately, and is restored. There is some very minor stable splitting to the wood consistent with the material. There are some small losses, including to one of the points of the coronet, and to the edges of the remaining points. There is an original plug to the top of the head, and a small vacant hole. Much of the original polychromy and gilding survives, however the paint has been refreshed, in particular at the face and to the red drapery. There is particular craquelure to the chest. There is an area of refreshed loss to the paint at the proper left shoulder. There is a knot in the wood at the back of the cloak, and an area of loss. There is a modern metal hook to the reverse of the sculpture. There is a metal pin to the shoulders. There are some flecks of paint to the ground. There is also a small hole to the ground.

Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669) Joseph and Potiphar's Wifeetchingsigned and dated 1634 in the plate9 x 11cm In the Old Testament story Joseph was bought by Potiphar, the Egyptian captain of Pharaoh's guard, who appointed him as overseer of his household. Potiphar's wife took a liking to him, and made several attempts to seduce him, though the virtuous Joseph always refused her advances. On one such occasion, he fled the house leaving behind his cloak, so the rejected lady thought to retaliate by accusing him of attempted violation, using the garment as evidence. Upon hearing this, Potiphar sent Joseph to prison.
