(Painted c. 1650; relined with old restoration).A Brief History Of The Portrait: Bridget Irerton (1624-1662) was the eldest daughter of Oliver Cromwell. In 1642, she married Henry Ireton, a close colleague of Oliver Cromwell, who died in Limerick in 1651. In 1652, she married General Charles Fleetwood, Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1652 to 1655. After Bridget's death, the portrait passed to her son from her first marriage, Henry Ireton, who upon his death in 1711, bequeathed it to his nephew David Polhill (1674-1754). It continued to pass down through the Polhill family until it came into the possession of Beatrice Mary Polhill (1867-1925, later Mrs Alfred George Breadnell), of Sundridge, Kent. The British Museum holds a copy of a photogravure of this very portrait, produced by Messrs Goupil in 1899 for use as an illustration for Samuel Rawson Gardiner's book "Oliver Cromwell", published the same year. The portrait continued by descent to the present owner, and having remained in the family's possession for its entire existence, this is the first time it has ever been offered for sale.Note: Images of the Polhill family tree are illustrated, but this is not included with this lot.
