Louisa Taylor (British, 19th Century) Portrait of Sir Herbert Taylor, in the undress coat of the Windsor uniform, Lord in Waiting to King George IV painted by his sister-in-law, Louisa Taylor of Bifrons, Canterbury oil on panel 15 x 13cm (6 x 5in) Sir Herbert Taylor (29 September 1775 – 20 March 1839) GCB, GCH, was the first Private Secretary to the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. Taylor was the son of the Reverend Edward Taylor of Bifrons, Patrixbourne, Kent and his wife Margaret Payler, daughter of Thomas Turner Payler of Ileden, who died at Brussels in 1780. He joined the 2nd Dragoon Guards as a Cornet in 1794. Later that year he was promoted to Lieutenant and then the following year to Captain. In 1795 he served as Assistant Secretary and Aide de Camp to the Duke of York, then Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. Taylor was later the Duke of York's Assistant Military Secretary, an office he held until 1798. He was later a Major. In 1798 he was made Aide de Camp, Military Secretary and Private Secretary to the Marquess Cornwallis, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. In the following year he returned to the Duke of York's service and remained there until 1805, although he was transferred to the 9th West Indian Regiment as a Lieutenant-Colonel in 1801. Taylor was quite an interesting figure, and he had a very demanding role in keeping the Prince Regent out of trouble.

Under glass and with pronounced craquelure overall and pitting to the upper right-hand corner, some abrasion to the paint layer, but generally in sound condition.

An earlier sketch for the portrait of Signor Tenduci is in the Foundling Museum, London, and an engraving taken from the finished portrait was issued on New Year's Day, 1796 by E and S Harding. Christopher Hogwood writes: "Giusto Ferdinando Tenducci, born circa 1735 in Siena, was an outstanding soprano castrato who first appeared in Britain in 1758. Both J C Bach and Mozart composed works for him; he was painted by Thomas Gainsborough and described in Smollett's "Humphrey Clinker" (1771) by the heroine Lydia Melford after a visit to Ranelagh Gardens: "There I heard the famous Tenducci, a thing from Italy ... it looked for all the world like a man, though they say it is not ... It warbled so divinely that, while I listened, I really thought myself in Paradise". Tenducci was responsible for popularising "Che Faro" from Gluck's "Orfeo" but his extravagant living led to a short term in debtors' prison. In 1766 he scandalised high society by marrying Dora Maundsell (and, according to Casanova, fathering two children). His wife supplied full details in "A true and genuine narrative of (the marriage and subsequent proceedings of) Mr and Mrs Tenducci. In a letter to a friend at Bath ... (1768). Tenducci died in Genoa in 1790". A little foxing and browning.

Mallowry was Sir David Robinson's first winnner in 1947. Sir David Robinson (April 13, 1904 – January 10, 1987) was a British entrepreneur and philanthropist. He donated £18 million to the University of Cambridge to establish a new college in his name. Robinson College, Cambridge, the newest in the University, was formally opened in 1981. Robinson also donated £3 million to start the Rosie Hospital, named after his mother, which is now a part of Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. Robinson was born in Cambridge, England, but later moved to Bedford. He built a business renting radios and televisions, which was commercially successful. Robinson was also involved with horse-racing: in the late 1960s and 1970s he owned a large number of winning horses which also yielded significant profits. His racing stables, Clarehaven, was one of the biggest racing stables in England. His string of 120-150 horses was split between two trainers, Michael Jarvis and Paul Davey. He was knighted in 1985, and died two years later in Newmarket, the centre of English horse-racing. Scattered spots of dirt, and dirt down the racehrorse's back legs.

Henry enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools in 1851 and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1853. Marks became a member of the St John's Wood Clique in 1862.

He was elected as a member of the Royal Academy following his painting "Convocation" which was exhibited in 1878. Most of his paintings of birds were watercolours, which he exhibited at the Old Watercolour Society or at the Fine Art Society. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds three of Marks' s finished watercolour studies of birds and eleven sketches for larger paintings. Some of his works are exhibited in the Parrot House of Eaton Hall, Cheshire. A little dirt under the glass, colours are good.
