Philip Alexius de László MVO, PRBA (1869-1937) Hungarian Portrait of Lady Armatrude Waechter de Grimston, half length wearing an elegant royal blue dress Oil on canvas, 84cm by 60cm See illustration Provenance: By descent from the sitter's estate To be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of portraits by the artist currently being compiled by the Hon. Mrs de László One of the greatest portrait painters of the twentieth-century, Philip de László was born into a humble family in Budapest and started his artistic career by painting stage sets. He attended art school in Hungary at the age of fifteen. Following studies in Munich and the Académie Julian in Paris (1890-91) he began to win important commissions and in 1900 won a gold medal at the Paris Salon for his contemplative portrait of Pope Leo XIII. In 1900 de László married into the Guinness family and in 1907 settled in London. The same year saw a hugely successful one man show of the artist's work at the Fine Art Society, London. In 1912 he was ennobled in Hungary and in 1914 he became a British citizen. In a dazzling career, de László painted Popes and Princesses, Cardinals and Plutocrats for which he was awarded medals and orders from across the world. With his trademark elegance and bravura brushstrokes, this portrait of Lady Waechter de Grimston is to be included in the artist's catalogue raisonné. Lady Waechter de Grimston (b.1890-?) was a patroness of the Arts and Crafts movement, a landowner in East Yorkshire and a notable beauty of the time. She was married to Sir Max Leonard Waechter (1837-1924), a businessman, philanthropist and High Sherriff of Surrey. Following the death of her mother in 1927 she inherited her family's estate Grimston Garth in East Yorkshire and assumed the name Waechter de Grimston. When the painting was first finished it was longer, but Lady de Grimston did not like the way her hands had been painted, so had the painting cut to exclude them. It is likely that the signature was cut away during this process.

Also see E.G. Aghib & J. H. Leopold, AHJ, September 1974, p. 890-94.Ahasuerus Fromanteel II was born in 1640, a son of Ahasuerus Fromanteel I. He was apprenticed to Simon Bartram and made free in July 1663. He probably took over the family business in Holland in about 1675. He died in 1703.Abraham Fromanteel, (b. 1647) a son of Fromanteel I, was apprenticed in 1662 to his father and left London in 1668 for The Hague where his father now was. He moved to Newcastle, perhaps soon after, but certainly by 1674 and married in 1678. However tragedy struck a year later with the death of his wife and shortly after their infant daughter. Perhaps this is why he returned to London in 1680, where he was made free of the Clockmakers' Company that year. He travelled between London and Amsterdam and was probably in Amsterdam from 1700 until 1711, returning to Newcastle, where he died with a considerable fortune, in 1730.Christopher Clarke was born circa 1668 and listed as from Kelloby which, according to Loomes, may have been Killerby, Co. Durham. He married Anna Fromanteel, the daughter of Ahasuerus Fromanteel II, in 1694 and then went into partnership with either Fromanteel II or Abraham Fromanteel (d. 1730) in Amsterdam. He inherited a good amount of the Fromanteel fortune and later struck up a partnership with Roger Dunster around 1722. He must have returned to London as in his will he is listed as residing in New Ormond Street, Parish of St. Andrew Holborn, Middlesex.

He was also an avid art collector. His book on chronometers, first published in Munich in 1981, with an English language version published ten years later, is a standard work.

A similar example by Manjoy and marked for 1700, described as a saucepan with stand, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, having been in the collection of Joseph M and Aimee Loeb (63.53.a,b) Silver Miniature Toys The production of miniature silver such as the following three lots began in London around the middle of the 17th century, though the peak of their production came towards the end of the century and into the first decades of the 18th century. There has long been conjecture as to their exact purpose with Victor Houart commenting that the explanation that they were produced to furnish dolls houses is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the doll's house didn't come into common usage in England until the 18th century and in any case they tended to be less luxurious compared to those produced in the Netherlands (V. Houart, Miniature Silver Toys, New York, 1981, pp. 163-164). What is certain is that the there was a remarkable production of miniature toys at the end of the century, perhaps not coincidentally around the time that William of Orange became King William III of England, perhaps bringing him with him the Dutch interest in miniature silver. Among the most regarded and prolific makers of toys at this time was George Manjoy who made each of the three following lots. He was made free by redemption from the Haberdashers company in June 1685 and went on to enter three marks as a smallworker and was to produce a remarkable array of miniature silver during the course of his career. . Fully marked inside bowl. The handle further marked with maker's mark and lion passant. Each leg further marked with lion passant only. In generally good condition with some minor surface scratches and wear.
