Studio of Sir Godfrey Kneller Bt. (British, 1646-1723) Portrait said to be of William, 3rd Baron Alington (c. 1634-1684/85), head and shoulders, in red, wearing a long brown wig oil on canvas, oval 76 x 63cm (30 x 25in) Provenance: By descent from the sitter to the Little Barford branch of the Alington family Other Notes: An indistinct inscription on a plaque attached to the painting reads "William Alington ???? / The Tower and Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire created / An English Peer as Lord Alington of Wymondley / ??? A.D. 1682. He married for his third wife Diana / sister to Lord Wm. Russell who was beheaded 1683 / Sir Godfrey Kneller pinx t. 1709 (sic)". This draws attention to the fact that as Constable of the Tower of London, Alington would have had to oversee the execution of his wife's brother, The Hon. William Russell, for his part in the Rye House plot against Charles II in 1683. Old label "Sir Godfrey Kneller pinxit 1701". Quite dirty.Oil on a coarse weave canvas support which is unlined. Area of damage at the left hand side which has been retouched. Paint layer has a network of age craquelure which is slightly raised but stable overall. The painting has an old varnish which is dark and dull. There are dark spots and accretions on the surface. The gilding on the frame is worn and flaking in the spandrels of the slip.

Sir Peter Lely Bt. (Soest 1618-1680 London) and Studio Portrait of William, 3rd Baron Alington (c.1634-1684/85) and his third wife Lady Diana Russell, both standing three-quarter length, he holding a baton and gesturing to a distant castle and she beneath a curtain and beside a male bust upon a plinth a pair, each oil on canvas, in good English 18th Century carved and giltwood frames 123 x 100cm (48 x 39in) Provenance: By descent within the family of the sitters to the Little Barford line, Bedfordshire Literature: Miss Catherine Parsons, "Horseheath Hall and its Owners", in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, Vol. LX1, 1948, p.22, and both illustrated as Plates I & II Other Notes: William Alington succeeded his elder brother in 1659 in the Irish peerage created in 1642 for their father by King Charles I. After the Restoration, William became M.P. for Cambridge in 1664 - for as an Irish peer without a seat in the House of Lords, he was in England effectively a commoner. By 1678 he had risen to the rank of Major General, despite Pepys's comment in 1667 that he was "a young and silly Lord." In 1679, he was appointed Constable of the Tower of London and then in 1681, he became Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. In 1682, he was given, by Charles II, an English peerage - that of Baron Alington of Wymondely in Hertfordshire, another of his many estates. Alington's third wife was the daughter of another ardent Royalist, William 5th Earl of Bedford, who was elevated to the Dukedom by William III. She was painted some years earlier by Lely - albeit three-quarter length - holding a houette, and that picture is in the collection at Woburn Abbey. Here, however, she is interestingly depicted by Lely in a virtually identical pose to that of her husband's sister, Elisabeth Alington - Lady Seymour of Trowbridge - which is dated to 1663-5 and which is in the National Trust Collection at Petworth House, as that Lady was mother of the 5th and 6th Dukes of Somerset. Lely is known, though, to have regularly re-used poses sometimes by simply reversing them and altering various accessories like curtains and background details. The composition of Lord Alington himself was used in the same direction more than once by Lely - e.g. in the portrait of Viscount Charmouth at Belvoir Castle and that of Henry Seymour, Lord Beauchamp at Longleat House. He reversed the pose and composition for a portrait of Charles Killigrew, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum, and for another, mistakenly later inscribed "Lord Alington", that is today at Ham House and now considered to be of John Murray, 2nd Earl and 1st Marquess of Athol. It would seem probable both from the style and the handling of the drapery and the fact of their marriage in 1675, that this Alington pair of portraits was painted around that time. Both very dirty and with bloom and some mould. William Alington - Oil on canvas which has been lined. Canvas has suffered from mould growth on the front and reverse but this does not appear to have affected the paint layer long term. The paint layer has been slightly softened during the lining process. The varnish has degraded causing it to become yellow and dull, affecting the tone and saturation of the painting. There are dark marks on the sitter's face which are likely to be darkened retouching. Frame has suffered from wear and abrasion with small chips and losses to the gilding. Diana Alington - Oil on canvas which has been lined. The canvas is in plane with good tension. The paint layer has been slightly softened during the lining process. There are a few scattered paint losses but overall the paint layer is stable. There are darkened retouchings in the sitter's face. The varnish has degraded causing it to become yellow and dull, affecting the tone and saturation of the painting
