Studio of Johann Heinrich Schmidt (circa 1741-1821), Portrait of Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov (1730-1800), oil on panel with a feigned oval, 31.4 x 25.4 cm (12 3/8 x 10 ins), ornate gilded frame with moulded vine, honeysuckle and egg and dart motifs (48.5 x 42 cm) QTY: (1)NOTE:This work is a well-executed version in oil of the the pastel drawn from life in 1800, in Prague, by Johann Heinrich Schmidt, four months prior to the death of Alexander Suvorov, the last lifetime portrait of the commander. He is dressed in the white Austrian uniform of a field marshal. The original pastel portrait is now in the collection of the Hermitage (inventory no. ???-3766). For another version by Schmidt, also in oval format, see Neil Jeffares, pastellists.com online catalogue J662.227). Alexander Suvorov was a sickly child, due to this his father had assumed that as an adult Suvorov would work in the civil service. Suvorov learned to read French, German, Polish, and Italian, and devoted himself to intense study of several military authors including Plutarch, Quintus Curtius, Cornelius Nepos, Julius Caesar, and Charles XII. A meeting between Suvorov and General Gannibal persuaded Suvorov's father to allow him to pursue a career in the military. Suvorov entered the army in 1748 and served in the Semyonovsky Life Guard Regiment for six years. After repeatedly distinguishing himself in battle Suvorov became a colonel in 1762, aged around 33. He is traditionally remembered as an unbeated military leader managing 93 battles and never being beaten. His name lives on in numerous tributes to him such as the Suvorov museum in St Petersburg, The Order of Suvorov - a military award for successful offensive actions against superior enemy forces, the town of Suvorovo in Varna Province, Bulgaria, the Russian ship which discovered Suwarrow Island in the Pacific in 1814 and numerous monuments.

She is best known for her work in enamel, and as a designer and printmaker. In 1925 she moved to California with her husband the philosopher Herbert Wildon Carr where they both taught at the University of Southern California. She returned to England in 1936.The artist Ida Margaret Nettleship (24 January 1877 – 14 March 1907) was born in Hampstead, the daughter of John Trivett Nettleship and Adaline Cort Nettleship (née Hinton; 1856-1932, dressmaker and costume designer). Ida studied at the Slade School of Art from the age of 15 where she also befriended fellow students Gwen Salmond, Edna Waugh, Gwen John, Bessie and Dorothy Salaman, as well as Geraldine Carr (great grandmother of the current owner). Towards the end of her time at the Slade, she met Gwen's brother Augustus John and they married on 24 January 1901. In 1903, Nettleship's relationship with Augustus was made more complicated when Dorelia McNeill became his model and also mistress. From 1903 to 1907, the three lived together in a ménage à trois, first at Matching Green in Essex and from 1905 in Paris. Due to John's limited income and growing family, Nettleship eventually gave up painting to take care of their children. She died of puerperal fever in Paris in 1907 after the birth of her fifth son Henry and was cremated at Père Lachaise Cemetery.
