Circle of Sir Anthony van Dyck (Flemish 1599-1641)Charles I on horsebackOil on canvas139 x 107.5cm (54½ x 42¼ in.)Provenance:Richard Cosway, 20 Stratford Place, Oxford Street, LondonSale, Mr George Stanley 'A Catalogue of the Pictures of Richard Cosway, Esq. R.A.', 17-19 May 1821, lot 105, 150 gns.The collection of Mr EmmersonSale, Phillips, 15-16 June 1832, lot 131 (£64)The collection of The Blackett Family of Matfen HallLiterature: J. Smith, A Catalogue Raisonne of the works of the most eminent Dutch Flemish and French Painters, vol. III, 1831, page 104, no. 366. Matfen inventory, no.8 The Walpole Society, Vol. LXVI, 2004, p.202 The Cosway Inventory of 1820This depiction of King Charles I is one of the most celebrated and well-known images of him. He was a fine horseman and the symbolism of his pose perhaps suggests he was a ruler who can tame a powerful animal and control the passion and disorder in his kingdom (K. Sharpe, Politics and Ideas in Early Stuart England, London, 1989, pp.44-7). It relates to Sir Anthony van Dyck's Charles I on Horseback with M. de St Antoine in The Royal Collection which is dated 1633. It was painted on a monumental scale (142 x 102 in.) and hung at the end of the Gallery at St James's Palace, a position for which it was probably designed. It has been suggested that our picture may have once been of a similar scale and reduced because the outer parts of the composition were unresolved. The scale of the figure of Charles corresponds directly to that in the autograph version and the idea of it being a fragment is further supported by it not being a standard size. A more typical 50 x 40 in. canvas would suggest that it is a later replica. The modelling of the horse and figure is well resolved whereas the plain background may be either an unfinished ground layer waiting to be painted or possibly a layer of blue (spelt) used in the seventeenth century that tended to deteriorate. The reason why the full-size picture was abandoned are not known, but it would have been a very substantial commission with a limited number of houses or institutions able to accommodate a picture on such a scale. The onset of the Civil War in 1642 may well have also been a contributing factor. None-the-less it is a fascinating insight into 17th Century Royal portraiture. The picture was formerly in the collection of Richard Cosway, the leading portrait painter of the Regency period, who in 1785, was appointed Principal Painter to the Princes of Wales. Together will his wife Maria they were very close to the Prince, and he was a frequent visitor at Maria's glittering salons and concerts. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined and is on a later stretcher which is providing good support. Under UV light there are scattered spots and lines of restoration, these are mostly in background areas and to the edges, and some finer work to the figure, including the face. This is all well executed however and not apparent to the naked eye. Condition Report Disclaimer

COWIE, LDG TEL "EREBUS" BELGIAN COAST. 1, JULY - 11, NOV. 1918), slightly irregular chamfer to edge, terminal date numerals run together, good very fine and attractively toned; 1914-15 Star (J. 18622, A. MCK. COWIE, TEL., R.N.), very fine; British War and Victory Medals (J 18622 A. MC K. COWIE. L. TEL. R.N.), some discolouration, otherwise very fine or better; Russia: Medal of St George for Bravery, 3rd Class, a modern replacement copy, nearly extremely fine; the first four mounted for wearing. [5] Offered together with the recipient's personal journal of the war for 1916, a mounted group of five dress miniature medals, ribbon bars, a presentation copy of the D.S.M. recommendation, photographs including the recipient, and a small collection of other ephemera. D.S.M. LG: 15/02/1919, "for services in monitors off the Belgian Coast.." Alexander Cowie was born 21st January 1897 at Cambuslang police station in Lanarkshire, the son of a police sergeant. He joined the Royal Navy in 1912 as Boy 2nd Class, and at the start of the First World War he was serving in the armoured cruiser H.M.S. Roxburgh as Boy Telegrapher. He served in various ships in home waters, including the boom defence vessel H.M.S. Flying Fish, and the coastal monitor H.M.S. Erebus. During the final stages of the war Erebus bombarded enemy positions n support of the troops advancing along the coast, and Cowie was awarded the D.S.M. in recognition of the highly effecting and vital role that he played in this. In the recommendation Vice-Admiral Keyes states that "I consider that it was due to Cowie's ability and work, and the good gunnery of the ship that the Infantry during the last offensive on the coast were able to advance in the Sector allocated to the "Erebus" with very few casualties" The extant volume of Cowie's journal covers 1916, during which year he volunteered for service ashore, manning W/T posts for communication with the fleet. He describes various instances of close combat with the opposing German forces. In other entries, he shares the broad insight that his job as wireless operator afforded him, with many references to naval actions and lesser incidents, both in home waters and globally.
