gouache on paper, varnished, in an ebonised frame with ivorine Liberty of London plaque 159 x 59.5cmDuring the 19th century, demand grew in the UK and France for exotic shawls imported from India. These complex designs were labour intensive and the skills necessary to produce them domestically were almost non-existent. European textile manufacturers needed a solution to reduce the costs of imports and allow them to exploit this burgeoning market.In 1804, the Frenchman, Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834), created an attachment known as the Jacquard Machine, which could be fitted to western machine looms and would allow the weaving process to become semi-automated. The Jacquard Machine worked by reading a series of punch cards that were laced together in a continuous sequence. The machine rotated the cards and read the punched holes that corresponded to rows in the final weaved design. In the mass manufacture of textiles, this allowed the production of complex patterns to be produced consistently and quickly without the need for a skilled weaver. The machine today is considered to be the first-ever programmable device used in manufacturing and is regarded as a key point in the development of computing. The Jacquard loom revolutionised the textile industry and in the UK, Paisley in Scotland and Norwich in England became key centres in the production of shawls. It is likely that the present lot was a design produced in India by an anonymous artist and then brought back to the UK to be transferred onto a punch card by a specialist technician. Examples of similar designs can be found in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (62.600.235(8)) and the V&A, London (E.4411-1911).See imagesHorizontal wrinkles and creasing overall, tears and some areas of loss and repair to top edge and extensive infill of loss to top right corner, further small light abrasions to the surface, appears to be on a stretcher with card backing

Portrait of a young lady, wearing a ruff, lace cap, embroidered black satin bodice, coral bracelet and white gloves held in her right handsigned and inscribed 'Aetatis 21 An.o 1632/ W. vander Vliet. fecit' (left of centre)oil on panel67 x 54cmWillem van der Vliet began his career as a history painter but became renowned principally for his portraits which are rare. He joined the Delft painters’ guild in 1615 and trained with Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt (1566-1641). Vliet was certainly painting portraits by 1625 (Portrait of Burgomaster and his wife in the Amiens Museum) though other portraits by him are dated 1631 (London National Gallery) 1636 (Paris, The Louvre) 1638 (Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum) and 1640 (Utrecht). Although little is known about his life, he gained enough acclaim in his lifetime to be included in Dirck van Bleyswijck’s Beschryvinge der Stadt Delft [Description of the City of Delft] published in 1667.Framed 79 x 67cmThe painting is executed in oil on a wooden support. The panel is formed from three boards in vertical alignment with the widest board at the centre. A cradle has been fitted to the reverse of the panel to reinforce the joins and keep the painting flat. The cradle appears quite recent in the painting's history. There is slightly raised paint following the lines of the panel joins. The paint layer is stable overall with a few small localised losses, for example below the inscription. The varnish layer is semi-glossy, clear and even. There are some areas of overpaint across the surface which have a slightly matte and gritty texture. There is a light layer of surface dirt present.
