Attributed to Juan Patricio Morlete (San Miguel el Grande, Guanajuato, Mexico, 1713/1715 - Mexico, 1772"Portrait of Manuel López-Pintado y Almonacid"Oil on canvas.111,5 x 97 cm.Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz was one of the greatest painters in Mexico during the second half of the 18th century. Although his biography was little known until the 20th century, his work began to be more widely disseminated through various collections, which made it possible to learn more about him. Morlete, with extensive oeuvre in Mexico, is particularly known for his series of caste paintings. The Museo de América in Madrid has a still life by his hand (inv. 2021/04/01).He founded the Academy of Painting in 1753, together with his teacher José de Ibarra, Miguel de Cabrera, José de Alcíbar and other illustrious figures. Two years earlier, in 1751, he had been part of the group of artists who inspected the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. These two events reflect the artistic and cultural importance, as well as the social and professional recognition of the painter.The iconographic themes of his artistic production are varied. Urban views, devotional and allegorical motifs, sacred history and several portraits known to date, including those of several viceroys and a portrait of King Charles III dated 1760.Focusing on the painting we present here - and delving deeper into the identity of the sitter - the clothing and important coat worn by the sitter in our work behove us to mention two paintings on canvas that we can compare stylistically and help us to date and geographically locate the painting to the first half of the 18th century in New Spain. We are talking about the portrait attributed to the painter Juan Rodríguez Juárez of Viceroy Juan Vázquez de Acuña y Bejerano (1658-1734), Viceroy of New Spain between 1722 and 1734; and the portrait of Viceroy Pedro Cebrián y Agustín (1687-1752), Viceroy of New Spain between 1741 and 1746.The attire and accessories of the sitter in our painting are comparable in quality, materials and design to those worn in the portraits of the Viceroys of the 18th century. From this we can deduce that the sitter enjoys a very high social status, possibly among the nobility or great merchants of globalisation.It should also be noted that our noble and illustrious personage holds a magnifying glass in his left hand. This element and the book of cartography resting on the table next to the silver inkwell with its quills relate the sitter to maritime activity. In this sense, moreover, the design of the decorative patterns of the garments reminds us of the waves of the sea and the symbols on the sleeves are related to the four cardinal points.The proposal suggested to satisfy the mystery of the identity of the man portrayed is that of Manuel López-Pintado y Almonacid, Admiral of the Fleet of the Indies, who was born in Toledo in 1677 and died in Seville in 1745.A portrait of Manuel López-Pintado, dated 21 December 1730, is kept in the Naval Museum in Madrid.As the Royal Academy of History informs us, "The great wealth of López-Pintado, a mixture of sailor, soldier and businessman, originated from the title of silver-master granted to him by Sebastián de Talledo in Madrid in 1704. [...] He was a deputy of the royal fleets until he obtained the title of admiral of the Fleet of the Indies in 1715-1716, and in that post he acquired a large fortune that enabled him to invest in land, buying and improving various estates and mills in different towns in the province of Seville. [...] In 1737, Philip V granted him the title of Marquis of Torre Blanca del Aljarafe, with the previous viscountcy of Cabrejas". Reference bibliography:- Caño Ortigosa, José Luis. (n.d.).

Registration No: BHY 906H Chassis No: 1R27431 MOT: March 2026Treated to an exhaustive, 2,500-hour restoration by the vendor, a Licensed Aircraft Engineer, in 2022Invoices on file totalling c.£30,000 for replacement parts and specialist services alonePresents beautifully having covered just 1,000 post-refurbishment milesMatching numbers exampleAccompanied by a hardback book which pictorially documents every stage of the restoration in detailOffered with a history file including the Jaguar Heritage CertificateAt launch the Malcolm Sayer-penned E-Type was the fastest production car of its time – its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar’s immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the bulk of Series II production, with the fixed-head two-seater being the rarest of the three variants.Factory finished in Regency Red with Beige leather upholstery, the same combination it pleasingly sports today, chassis ‘1R27431’ was dispatched from Browns Lane to distributor British Leyland, New York on 12th February 1970. Spending its early life in Arizona (with the corresponding registration plates remaining on file), the E-Type is reputed to suffered sandstorm damage whilst being driven to Northern California in 1974. Despite the paintwork being refreshed and a new windscreen fitted, the E-Type was placed into storage where it remained for the subsequent c.40 years. Re-discovered in 2014, the E-Type was repatriated to the United Kingdom in 2019 and shortly after acquired by the vendor, a licensed aircraft engineer, having been advertised as a "never been welded" example with a recorded mileage of 39,000.The vendor reports that the engine was running (albeit poorly), and the clutch release bearing had failed. Transported to his aircraft engineering facility, a comprehensive assessment of the car's condition was carried out, and remarkably, the seller informs us that no evidence of repaired corrosion was found anywhere in the body-shell or doors, with all the floor and footwell panels being original. The only perforations discovered were two small areas on the edge of both footwells with repairs grafted in. The shell was sent to RP Automotive for a full bare metal repaint, with the engine frames bead blasted, primed and painted in their original colour before re-fitting. All frame mounting points on the bulkhead were inspected and deemed completely corrosion-free. When the repaint was completed all box sections and closed panels including doors were injected with aviation anti-corrosion fluid and, although the original underseal was revealed to be almost entirely in excellent condition, a coat of Raptor two-pack bed liner was added to the car's underside. A new wiring loom to the original specification was installed and the Jaguar converted to right-hand drive including a new steering rack, with windscreen wipers also converted to UK-specification. The factory-fitted engine was entrusted to Scholar Engineering of Diss where it benefited from a re-ground crankshaft, new cylinder liners, new oil pump, modified rear crank seal, new timing chains and tensioners, core plugs, and much more. The cylinder head overhaul included hardened valve seats, new camshaft buckets, bearings, and pressure testing, etc, with the block and head being lightly skimmed. A new water pump, thermostat, rejuvenated starter and alternator, spin-on oil filter conversion, a new inlet manifold, and new triple SU carburettors were all fitted, as well as uprated Acu-Spark electronic ignition. The gearbox internals were inspected and judged to be in good condition, with the input and output shaft seals and speedo drive gear renewed. Further provided with a new stainless steel exhaust system, the suspension was inspected and refreshed with four new shock absorbers and springs, four driveshaft and prop shaft UJs replaced, and the front suspension components removed, bead blasted, and re-painted. The wheel bearings, anti-roll bar bushes, and handbrake pads were all renewed too. The independent rear suspension cradle was re-fitted with new trailing arm bushes and mountings. The brake system was provided with a full overhaul including a new master cylinder and servo unit, new stainless steel calliper pistons, seals, brake pads and four new discs, as well as new flexible hoses together with copper-based hard lines fitted front and rear. Finally, four new spoked chrome wire wheels, spinners and tyres were installed. A complete interior re-trim was carried out by Howard Sands of Stonham Suffolk, with the excellent upholstery and fittings supplied by Aldridges Coventry Ltd made to original Jaguar specification and materials. The restoration encompassed extensive further new parts, with some of the notable ones including an overhauled heater system, new windscreen washer assembly, new radio console/fascia with period Radiomobile push button radio, and much more! With invoices on file for c.£30,000 in parts and specialist services alone, the aircraft engineer vendor has devoted some 2,500 hours to the exhaustive project, with the end product being an excellently presented example, above and beyond many restorations. A matching numbers example, chassis ‘1R27431’ is accompanied to the sale by a large history file that includes a hardback book which documents pictorially every stage of the restoration in detail, the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, aforementioned restoration invoices, and a current V5C document. Completing just 1,000 post-restoration miles so now showing a believed genuine 40,000 miles on the odometer, the vendor also comments that the engine and gearbox wear levels when stripped were indicative of the mileage being genuine. Starting readily and both running and driving well during our recent photography session, this notably nicely restored E-Type is not one to overlook if you are in the market for an excellently restored example. This lot is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2026. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
