Circle of Michael Dahl (Swedish 1659-1743) Portrait of Mrs Rebecca Curson née Clark and her son John Curson from Kirby Hall Oil on canvas Bears inscription to stretcher verso 127 x 102cm (50 x 40 in.) Provenance: Meysey Thompson family, previously of Kirby Hall Thence by descent The mother and son depicted in the present lot are distantly related to the Curzon of Kedleston family through George Curzon, younger brother of John Curzon of Kedleston who inherited the family title. George Curzon of Kedleston (b.c1560) to Francis and Eleanor Curzon of Kedleston. Without the benefit of the title, his son Francis (1580-1658) divided from Kedleston circa 1610 and settled in Mursley, Buckinghamshire. Francis Curzon's second son was Samuel Curson (b. 1625) who married Elizabeth Stevens in the parish in 1648. It is at this point that the Curzon name changes spelling to Curson. Their son Samuel II (1659-1709) moved to St Dunstans in London and became a successful Inn Keeper. Samuel II married in 1682 and his eldest son, Samuel III was the husband of the female sitter in this portrait. In 1707, Samuel Curson III (b.1684-d.) married Rebecca Clark in St. Dunstans in the West Church. After they were wedded the couple moved to Aldgate and Samuel became a successful wine merchant in London. The couple later moved to Chelmsford where Rebecca is recorded in 1753 as buried in St. Matthew's church. Little is known about Rebecca Curson née Clark but it can be assumed that she was a lady of some standing to have married the wealthy Samuel Curson III. It is likely that this portrait was created during their time in Aldgate as a celebration of the couples' first born son John Curson, later John Curson, Esquire of Ipswich. The headdress and finery worn by the little boy was common practice in portraiture of the period in order to show off wealth and denote that he is the successor to the family dynasty. Like his father, John Curson, grew up to become a wine merchant and was the main beneficiary of not only his father's will but also his uncle, Richard Curson of Richmond. As a result, he owned numerous properties in Essex and London. Curson married twice but died without a successor in Blandford Dorset in 1793. Upon Curson's death, his brother Richard who had settle in America in 1759 was the main beneficiary of John Curson's wealth. The surviving female Curson line are still represented by the prominent Curzon Hoffman & Poultney families in the USA. Following the death of Richard's son Samuel, the two surviving sisters, Elizabeth Rebecca Becker Curson & Ellin Moale Curson worked to reclaim part of the will left in England upon the death of their uncle John Curson (the child sitter) and were successful in their claim to numerous London properties and funds.This painting was directly purchased from the Meysey Thompson family previously of Kirby Hall in Yorkshire. John Curzon's niece Mary Spence married Henry Thompson who was heir to the Thompson's of Kirby Hall. Unfortunately, the title became extinct in the early 20th century following the death of Henry Meysey Thompson and the family seat at Kirby Hall was demolished. The painting would have been sited at Kirby Hall from the death of John Curson until its eventual demise. Thereafter, the painting has been in family hands.

Attributed to Salvator Rosa (Italian 1615-1673) Portrait of a gentleman said to be Masaniello Oil on canvas Bears later indistinct inscription verso 'Ritratto di Masaniello, Fatto di Salvator Rosa/16()7 del Palazzo del Duca de (Laur)enzano' 43.5 x 33cm (17 x 12 in.) Provenance: Collection of Christopher Norris Sale, Christie's London, 28 October 1988, Lot 147 Acquired from the above by the present owner Lots 46-58 come from the collector and interior designer Edward Bulmer. They comprise part of the collection hung at Edward's Grade II* listed, William and Mary manor house, Court of Noke in Herefordshire. Edward's passion for art runs parallel with his expertise in interiors. He initially began collecting when working for the picture restorer Alec Cobbe who is well known for his picture hanging projects. He worked on many such ventures with Cobbe, building an understanding of the connoisseurship of the great patrons of the past. He quickly recognised that one could still afford to buy as the great collectors did; on the basis of quality, if one was not restrictive about subject. As such the beginnings of a discerning collection were born. When he purchased Court of Noke in 1994, it became a passionate restoration project, transforming what was a dilapidated shell with enormous promise, back into a comfortable family home. Some pictures in the collection were sold at this time in order to fund the initial restoration project. Edward describes how the present pictures have become old friends, adding atmosphere and sophistication to our rooms and I hope that they will now find interesting new homes. The collection offered here clearly embraces its owner's dedication to quality over narrow focus including as it does, pictures across a range of date periods and subjects from religious paintings to Greek mythology and Italianate landscape works.
Circle of Johannes Mytens (Dutch 1614-1670) Portrait of Charles II Oil on canvas 113 x 91cm (44¼ x 35¾ in.) Provenance: Kirtlington Park, Oxfordshire Kirtlington Park is a Grade I listed Palladian country house built between 1742 and 1746 and located just east of Kirtlington village. The gardens look out from North Oxfordshire towards the Chiltern Hills and were landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown between 1752 and 1757, when has was working nearby on the gardens at Blenheim Palace.The house was built for Sir James Dashwood, 2nd Baronet (1715-79) after he had married an heiress, Elizabeth Spencer. By the 1820s, Kirtlington Park was still unfinished in some parts due to gambling debts incurred by Sir James' son Henry Dashwood. The house remained in the family until 1909, when Sir George John Egerton Dashwood, 6th Baronet, sold the house to the Earl of Leven and Melville. By 1922, it is recorded as being owned by Hubert Maitland Budgett. In 1933, the rococo dining room was exported and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and makes up the largest European Room in the wing of the museum dedicared to European Rooms and Art.During the Second World War the park was used as a Victory garden. Thirty years later, Kirtlington Park was bought from the Budgett family in 1971, by Christopher Buxton.Shillinglee Park is an 18th century house and estate in West Sussex situated between the villages of Chiddingfold and Plaistow. Built in 1785, Shillinglee was the home of the Earl Winterton and originally a manor of the Arundel Estate which belonged to the Norfolk family.Both Edward Turnour, 4th Earl Winterton and his son, also Edward, 5th Earl Winterton, were fine cricketers and there are records of 19th century cricket matches that were played in the grounds against neighbouring villages. During the start of the 20th century Shillinglee was recorded as being the summer residence of the Indian Prince Ranjitsinhji, thought to be one of the greatest cricketers of all time. During the Second World War the house was occupied by Canadian troops who accidently burnt the house down in around January 1943. The shell of Shillinglee was rebuilt and sold, with the remaining contents, to Christopher Buxton the then owner of Kirtlington Park. Shillinglee was then remodelled into and sold as smaller residences and at this time a number of the original works of art were transferred to Kirtlington Park.

Mayall, John Jabez Edwin Series of Photographs of Eminent Men. Messrs Marion & Co., 152 Regent St., 1862. Seven albumen prints after photographs by Mayall, all flush mounted to captioned card mounts, five signed and dated 1861 in the negative, 6 in original paper wrappers printed with title details, all signed by subjects on the mount, all contained in likely original folio folder. The seven photographs comprise: Prince Albert, the Prince Consort - this photograph was taken two months before Albert's death from typhoid and is likely the last taken of him. After his death the picture was hugely popular, with 70,000 of the carte de visite ordered from Mayall. W.E. Gladstone; John Russell, 1st Earl Russell; Edward Smith Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby; Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux; John Singleton Copley, 1st Baron Lyndhurst; John Bright Mayall was a devoted believer in the photographer as artist. He used his background in chemical dye works to continually refine the process of Daguerreotypes. He was a pioneer of allegorical photographs and his work led him into a friendship with Turner, with whom he exchanged ideas on light and shadow. It was the Great Exhibition though which propelled him to the forefront of British photography. After this, his portrait work was in high demand and in 1860 he was called upon by the Royal Family. These pictures made his name and fortune, as he was granted the rights to sell the pictures as cartes de visite. The photograph of Albert comes from this period and was likely his most famous and desired print.
