A PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF WELBY SHERMAN, BY GEORGE RICHMOND (1809-1896), CIRCA 1827 in a landscape reading a book, with dark hair, red coat, buff waistcoat and white shirt, on ivory, the backboard with applied label inscribed: Welby Sherman / Painted Geo Richmond / Jany [two deleted words] : 1825 [altered to 27 by Thomas Knyvett Richmond] and TKR / 1877, gilt-metal frame rectangular 12cm Provenance: the artist; his son, Thomas Knyvett Richmond (1833-1901) by 1877 The engraver, Welby Sherman (Baptised April 1809), was the son of a London Leghorn hat merchant. He and George Richmond were members of a small coterie of friends and artists known as The Ancients. The group, including Samuel Palmer and Edward Calvert, had archaistic leanings and were inspired by the works of William Blake, at whose home they often met. According to Sherman's entry on the Tate website, he was perpetually short of money and swindled Palmer's brother William of £500. Certainly he appears on the Old Bailey lists for larceny in 1838, although the case does not seem to have gone to trial. He married 24 April 1848 at St Mary's Bermondsey to Gertrude Clarke (widow), at which time he was described as an engraver. As well as the Tate's holding, examples of his engravings are held by the Victoria & Albert and the New York Metropolitan. From the late 1830s George Richmond specialised in drawing chalk portraits, the veracity and sensitivity of which led to great acclaim and success. At the outset of his career however, and almost certainly because he was the son of the miniaturist Thomas Richmond, he practised the art of his father. It is notable that even at this early stage he eschewed the carefully controlled brushwork of his parent in favour of a more lively technique that included multi-directional strokes, scuffing and scratching out. This freedom was most likely inspired by his friends among The Ancients. Whatever the stimulus, it resulted in a small but remarkable group of psychologically penetrating portraits, exemplified by this rediscovered miniature of his contemporary and fellow artist, Welby Sherman: a sympathetic rendering by one adolescent of another, the latter as yet perhaps untroubled by pecuniary problems. Other miniatures in this group include two in the National Portrait Gallery, London (a portrait of Samuel Palmer painted in 1829, NPG 2223 and a self-portrait painted in 1830, NPG 6586) and one in the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge (a portrait perhaps of Mr Ashby, 1830, PD.221-1994). The present work predates all these. A charming Richmond drawing of Sherman asleep in a chair, dated 1828, can be found at the Cleveland Museum of Art, No.1981.29.

A PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF HENRY MAJENDIE, BY JEREMIAH MEYER RA (1735-1789), CIRCA 1780 wearing white lawn tabs and a black gown, on ivory, later gilt-metal frame inscribed: H.W. MAJENDIE Bp. OF BANGOR / D.1830 oval 7.4cm Henry William Majendie (1764-1830) and his family were closely connected to the court, so it is not surprising that his likeness was taken by Jeremiah Meyer, the official Painter in Miniatures and Enamels to George III. His father was a tutor to Queen Charlotte and Henry Majendie taught Prince William. Ordained in 1783, he rose to become Bishop of Chester in 1800 and Bishop of Bangor in 1809.

A CHINESE NUT BEAD AND ROSE QUARTZ MANDARIN OFFICAL'S NECKLACE, CHAO ZHU, CIRCA 1850 interspersed with larger malachite beads, three jinian of rose quartz beads with amethyst pendants with kingfisher feather filigree mounts, the double gourd malachite fotou bead at the back suspending an oval rock crystal bead framed in kingfisher filigree mounts with a rock crystal pendant, with the original (by repute) leather box, decorated with central character, flowers and butterflies, box and necklace with family labels describing the reputed provenance 117cm long, box 22cm diameter Provenance: by repute Governor Yeh Ming-ch'en (1807-1859), according to MS label, worn by the Governor at his capture; acquired circa 1858 by Admiral Arthur William Acland Hood, 1st Baron Hood of Avalon (1824-1901); thence by family descent. Lots 78-92 This group of Chinese artefacts has descended in the present owner's family from their ancestor, Admiral Arthur William Acland Hood, 1st Baron Hood of Avalon (1824-1901). Arthur Hood began his career in the Royal Navy in 1836 and gained considerable experience before being promoted in November 1854 to command the brig, HMS Acorn. By May 1856 he and his vessel were in China under Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour (1802-1887), commander-in-chief of the East Indies and China Station. In June of 1857 HMS Acorn was involved in the destruction of the fleet of Chinese junks in the Battle of Fatshan Creek (see lot 90) and later in the attack on Canton. It is from this period that Hood acquired the pieces comprising this collection. A MS note, probably written in the latter part of the 19th Century, attached to lot 78 explains how it came into Hood's possession: 'Official Necklace of Yeh Governor of Canton, China. He was wearing this when captured by Commander Arthur W.A. Hood R.N (In conjunction with [Astley] Cooper Key in his palace. Yeh was a first class Mandarin. Commander Hood commanded H.M.S. ''Acorn'' - and lay for 9 months in the Canton River waiting opportunity to achieve capture of city and its Governor. When the moment arrived the 2 officers with seamen landed, and marched through the city and crowds of Chinese to the palace, captured the Governor, placed him in his own sedan chair, and carried him back to our boats and so on board H.M.S. ''Acorn'' . . .' The arrest of Governor Yeh (otherwise High Commissioner Yeh Ming-ch'en) was precipitated by his own actions, which in turn appear to have had the full backing of Peking. Although the Treaty of Nanking had been signed between Great Britain and the Emperor in 1842, thus bringing to an end the First Opium War, the Chinese felt that the accord was unfair. This led to sporadic and increasingly violent unrest. Matters finally erupted when in 1856 Yeh, then in the throes of supressing an uprising of Chinese rebels and ordering thousands of executions, seized a Hong Kong (British) registered ship and its crew. The registration had expired, a fact well known to the British (and the French) who nevertheless used the incident as an excuse to send for their fleets. The action sparked the Second Opium War (1856-1860). However much the British may have been the aggressors, the general opinion of Governor Yeh was vividly expressed by Sir John Francis Davis, former Chief Superintendent of British Trade in China, when on 28 February 1858 he wrote to the Editor of The Times in London (2 March 1857, p. 9f): 'The Belial [i.e. worthless] art of making ''the worse appear the better reason'' has been rather unluckily applied to exciting our sympathies in favour of the savage Bedlamite [i.e. lunatic] Governor Yeh, the butcher of 70,000 of his own countrymen, and the bidder at 30 dollars each (5£,) for the heads of ours. The truculent Tartars had never a more hideous representative, and I believe that not but Milton himself ever made the devil appear at all interesting.'Additional Images (Illustrative only, not included in the lot):Gouache portrait of Ye Mingchen, painted in a Chinese artist's studio in Canton, circa 1856Governor Yeh, London Illustrated Times, 27 February 1858Watercolour portrait of Arthur William Acland Hood at age 14, by William Derby (1786-1847), to be sold on 24 February 2016, Harry Moore-Gwyn, British & Continental Pictures at 25 Blythe Road, London.
