Lot 34

Follower of Govaert Flinck, Dutch 1615-1660- A man, head and shoulders, in a brown cloak, velvet cap and gold chain; oil on panel, bears old typed label '1 Head of Bergomaster, by Ferdinand Bol (signed)' on the reverse, 15.8 x 12.4 cm. Provenance: Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 26 September 1980, lot 50 (as 'BOL').; Private Collection, UK. Note: Renowned as one of Rembrandt’s most talented protégés, Flinck was his pupil from 1633 until 1636, when he set up as an independent master. Like many of Rembrandt's best pupils from his early Amsterdam phase such as Ferdinand Bol (1616-1680) and Jacob Backer (1608-1651), Flinck evolved a style that is distinctive and personal, but until at least the end of the 1640s remained palpably Rembrandtesque. The present work is a tronie, or fancy-dress study, based on a real likeness. Rembrandt developed the tronie and painted many of them from his Leiden period onwards, though they fell out of fashion after the 1640s. Flinck, along with many of Rembrandt's pupils from the first decade of his Amsterdam period, continued to produce tronies in large numbers, presumably to meet the great demand for them, and indeed, students and studio assistants as well as friends and family no doubt provided his models. Simon Schama certainly had the Rembrandtesque tronie at the forefront of his mind when he remarked to camera ‘Dutch art has a very large hat department.’ (‘The Face of Britain’, broadcast BBC2, 28th October 2015). This tronie, of an elderly gentleman in exotic dress, is a confident example of the type. The sitter, with his engaging eyes and pleasing countenance, looks towards the viewer. His features are softly modeled by a light that illuminates the scene from the upper left, casting shadows that define his face. In overall type, the painting may be compared with both Flinck’s ‘Head of an Old Man’ in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, c.1642 (NGI.254) and his ‘Bearded Man with a Velvet Cap’, 1645, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art [25.110.27]. See, also, Rembrandt’s ‘Self-portrait’, 1633, in the Louvre, Paris [INV 1745 ; MR 937] for an example of the tronie type developed by the older master.

Lot 49

Follower of Caspar Netscher, Dutch 1639-1684- Portrait of a lady, three-quarter length, seated in a red dress with white trim and blue wrap, with a landscape beyond; oil on canvas, 53.6 x 43.6 cm. Please refer to department for condition report

Lot 50

Attributed to Anthonie Palamedesz, Dutch 1601-1673- Portrait of a lady, small-half-length, in a green and white dress with white collar, in a feigned oval; oil on panel, 21.5 x 16.2 cm. Provenance: Anon. sale, Christie’s, London, 12 December 1996, lot 310.; The estate of the late designer Anthony Powell. Note: The present work is a remarkably powerful portrait, with its small scale creating a heightened sense of intimacy between the sitter and the viewer. The painting has been executed with incredibly fine brushstrokes, thereby creating a sensitive and life-like depiction, and allowing the artist to evoke a strong sense of the sitter’s presence. The style and subject-matter situate the painting firmly in the context of the 17th-century Netherlands, particularly evident in the elaborate clothing of the sitter, with her sumptuous lace collar recalling those depicted in the portraits of contemporary artists such as Frans Hals (1582-1666). The formal, restrained pose of the sitter imbues her with a sense of gravitas which, along with her rich garments and gleaming pearls, emphasise her status and wealth. Born in Leith, Scotland, Palamedesz’s father was an artist in the service of the Scottish King James VI. His family moved to Delft in the Dutch Republic when Palamedes was still young, and it was there that he received his training under leading portrait painter Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt (1566-1641) and history and genre painter Hans Jordaens (1555-1630). The panel is secure in the frame and sits well.The paint surface is stable on the support. Some losses to the paint surface, particularly at the left and lower edges and where the feigned oval meets the dark background to the right. Some further areas where the paint appears thin. Some minor scratches, abrasions, marks and surface dirt. The painted details, especially to the sitter's face, hair and dress are very well preserved. Under UV lamp, old retouching to the feigned oval line in the round, to the left corners, to a small area to the right of the sitter's head (her left, either side of the oval line), and some tiny and localised spots to (presumably) soften some of the natural circular irregularities in the panel around the sitter's head. Very little to no retouching to the sitter herself. Overall in very good near original condition.

Lot 51

Circle of Johannes Vollevens the Elder,Dutch 1649-1728-Portrait of a lady, half-length, wearing a brown and white dress with blue cloak, standing in an interior, with an evening landscape beyond;oil on canvas, 32.7 x 26.1 cm.Provenance: with The Brod Gallery, London, November 1967.; Anon. sale, Sotheby's Colonnade, 22 May 1996, lot 74 (as Caspar Netscher).; The estate of the late designer Anthony Powell.Note: This portrait, which dates to c.1680, and is of exceptionally high quality, has thus far evaded a firm attribution. Last selling on the open market in 1996 as by Caspar Netscher, further suggestions have been made of Joannes Vollevens the Elder, Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693), Johannes Mijtens (1614-1670), Jan de Baen (1633-1702), and Michiel van Musscher (1645-1705). We are grateful to Dr Léon Krempel who tentatively suggested an attribution to Vollevens the Elder on the basis of a photograph.Please refer to the department for the condition report.

Lot 57

After Giuseppe Nogari, Italian 1699-1766- An old woman warming her hands; oil on canvas, 50.6 x 25.9 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: A 19th-century copy of Nogari’s larger original painting, of which two versions exist, at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden [no.592] and at the Royal Collection Trust [RCIN 403975]. With her head and shoulders facing the viewer, the old woman holds up her hands to a small brazier set on a table in the left foreground. She wears a dark hood and a fur-trimmed cloak over a low cut blue dress and a white shift. The sitter's age is evident from the wrinkles in her face and neck, and also from her mouth; though it is closed it is obvious that she has few teeth left. She is possibly intended to personify 'Winter', or perhaps 'Touch'. The model of the old woman seems to occur in other pictures by Nogari, including variant compositions of the same theme. A copy of this work by John Phillip (1817-1867), entitled 'The Bohemian Woman', is in Aberdeen Art Gallery [ABDAG000002]. Nogari’s original composition is a pendant to his ‘A Man Holding Spectacles and Resting his Hands on a Book’ (RCIN 403973). Please refer to department for condition report
