Lot 553
French School (early 19th Century) Portrait of an artist, possibly a self-portrait watercolour on ivory in a circular gold frame 8cm (3in) The young unidentified artist looks to be studying from the bust in front of her, which is in turn staring out at the viewer. The possibility of the bust being a faithfully depicted antique is diminished by the untypical locks of hair which fall over the shoulders. Instead this bust is perhaps a representation of a deceased family member or friend, the importance of whom to the artist is reflected in the way it is raised on a plinth. The underlying style of the work is wholly Neoclassical, a theme particularly favoured in the 18th/early 19th century in Europe, and echoed here in the colonnade architectural backdrop and the attire worn by the subject. Condition is fine.

Baden Watkins.Catherina Boevey (1669-1726) the chatelaine of Flaxley Abbey was a most generous distributor to the poor, prisoners and many others throughout the long years of her widowhood. She was parodied by Sir Richard Steele as the Perverse Widow of Sir Roger de Coverley in The Spectator, the magazine he founded with his friend Joseph Addison. The daughter and heiress of a wealthy London merchant, John Riches (1628-1718) and his wife Ann, née Davall, she married aged 15 in 1684 William Boevey (1667-1692) a dissolute youth who a year earlier, aged 16, had inherited Flaxley Abbey and the estate from a cousin that died without issue. Her unhappy marriage was childless and her husband who was given to "excesses, both in debauch and ill-humour" died at 25. She devoted the rest of her life to good works, rejecting all subsequent offers of marriage, hence Steele giving her the sobriquet the perverse widow.++Lined and restored in the early 20th c when placed on the present stretchers and on the reverse of the support a handwritten label inscribed No12 Catherine Bovey (see 8 and 34) 1913.
