SACHEVERELL SITWELL. (1897 - 1988). Autograph Letter to a friend, for the Shell Paper, Brazil, Weston Hall, 1964. An autograph letter from Sacheverell Sitwell to a friend, Tazil, reminiscing about their time together in Brazil, described by Sacheverella, as a 'carioca summer', written in Sacheverell's neat hand to single sides of 5 numbered leaves, 155 lines, on Weston Hall, printed headed paper, dated 17 April, 1964; 'Dear Tazil, I promised I would write something for the Shell paper, and here it is . . .', Sacheverell thanks Tazil for the kindness shown to him and his wife Georgia from the first day he came to meet them for luncheon, until the last morning at the airport when they waved goodbye to Lucio. 'Some readers of this letter may be wondering why we came to Brazil, and the answer is I have wanted to to do so for over forty years since I first began writing . . . I even wrote most of a special number about old and new buildings in Brazil for the Architectural Review in 1945, before I had ever been there, this is not as difficult as it sounds, so long as one is sufficiently interested, and I am letting you into a trade secret . . . And now that I have been to Brazil, what do I think of it . . . ', Sacheverell comments on his disappointment of hearing the popular song of the day 'Tea for Two' being relayed everywhere they went, and how noisy the Copacabana was, . . . 'I admired very much the Museum of Modern Art . . . other churches in Rio did not quite come up to expectations . . .', He admits to his friend that he is not alone in wishing not to live there, . . .'Brazilia, a Pompeii . . . of the nineteen fifties,is an astonishing experience . . . the air is wonderful, as are the sunsets and sunrises, but not yet the shops, cinemas or general amenities.'; Sacheverell writes of their visit to Salvador, flying onto Dakar and how he wishes even more than ever that he had seen the Amazon, humming birds and parrots of Brazil, however, '. . . Time and money are always in short supply'. He ends the letter with warm thanks and greetings to all who were kind to them, particularly in Shell-Brazil during their too short stay in Rio. Sacheverell's youngest son Francis Sitwell (1935 - 2004), had spent ten years working for Shell, during which time he represented the company in East Africa.Provenance: The Sitwell Family Library, Weston Hall.

MARIA COSWAY (BRITISH 1759-1838)PORTRAIT OF CAROLINE, PRINCESS OF WALES AND HER DAUGHTER, PRINCESS CHARLOTTEOil on canvas laid to panel59 x 49cm (23 x 19¼ in.)The heads purportedly later touched and altered by Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1801.Provenance: Gifted to Lady Glenbervie by Queen Caroline (then Princess Caroline)The Hon. Frederick Sylvester North Douglas and Harriet Wrightson Thence by descent at Weston Hall. Literature:S. Lloyd, Richard & Maria Cosway: Regency Artists of Taste and Fashion, Edinburgh, 1995, no. 225, plate 72.Catalogue Note:This romantic painting by Maria Cosway (1760-1838) of Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales (1768-1821), consort of George, Prince of Wales (later George IV, 1762-1830), with her daughter, Princess Charlotte Augusta (1796-1817), shows Caroline leaning against a statue of Britannia seated in profile, and Charlotte sitting on a lion couchant, which rests at Britannia's feet; St. Paul's Cathedral, London is in the background. The original giltwood frame is surmounted by the Prince of Wales's crest of the three ostrich feathers. By repute, it was a Royal gift from Princess Caroline to Catherine Anne Douglas, Lady Glenbervie (1760-1817), who was her Mistress of the Robes from 1809-20. A label on the back bears the inscription:'Caroline, Princess of Wales aged 32, and Princess Charlotte her daughter; designed and painted by Maria Cosway (wife of Mr Cosway), around 1800. The heads afterwards touched and altered by Lawrence in 1801. The Princess sat to both the painters. Given by HRH The Princess of Wales, Feb. 1801 to Lady Glenbervie when she was about to embark for the Cape of Good Hope'.Although the painting is unsigned it is the exemplar for a mezzotint ; an example is in the Royal Collection (RCIN 605385), the artist is inscribed to the left: 'Maria Cosway pinxit.'; the engraver to the right: 'S.W. Reynolds sculpt.', and below the publisher 'London, Published May 1 1801, at R ACKERMANN'S Repository of Arts, No.101, Strand'. Another copy is in the British Museum (1902,1011.3809).The choice of Maria Cosway as artist was undoubtedly due to the close friendship that existed between Maria and her husband Richard, a leading portrait painter of the Regency period, with the Prince. In 1785, Richard was appointed Principal Painter to the Prince, and the Prince and the bon ton were frequent visitors at Maria's glittering salons and concerts at Schomberg House, 80-82 Pall Mall, London. That the Princess might ask Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) to re-touch the faces of this painting because she was unhappy with the original is feasible. Lawrence was the most celebrated portraitist of his age, and patronised by international statesmen and society figures as well as royalty and military leaders. He was a favourite of the Princess, painting her at least three times, including another painting of her and her daughter (1801-2), which survives in the Royal Collection (RCIN 407292). It shows the Princess playing a harp watched over by a shadowy bust of Minerva, patroness of the arts; Caroline tunes her harp and prepares to play the music offered up by her daughter Charlotte. In 1806, the conduct of Lawrence and the Princess while it was being painted was scrutinised during the 'Delicate Investigation'. A commission of Cabinet ministers assessed the allegations that the Princess had had an adulterous affair with, amongst others, Lawrence. The Princess stated that Lawrence 'stayed a few nights, that by early rising, he might begin painting on the picture before the Princess Charlotte (who as her residence was at that time at Shooter's Hill, was enabled to come early) or myself came to sit' (. Accessed 9 August 2021).Catherine Anne Douglas, Lady Glenbervie, is recorded as Mistress of the Robes to Caroline, Princess of Wales from 1809-20 (. Accessed 9 August 2021). Her spouse, Sylvester Douglas, 1st Baron Glenbervie (1743-1823), was offered the prospect of becoming governor of the Cape in September 1796, and again in January 1800, which he initially refused. In October 1800, he was again proposed for the Cape but political circumstances prevented the appointment. Therefore, while the label on the back of this painting mentions Lord Glenbervie and the Cape, it seems more likely that the Princess gifted the painting offered here during Lady Glenbervie's term as Mistress of the Robes. This supposition is reinforced by the Lawrence painting discussed above, which was originally painted for a Mistress of the Robes, Anne, Marchioness Townshend (her appointment between 1795 and 1808).This painting came to Weston Hall through the marriage of Lord and Lady Glenbervie's son, Frederick Sylvester North Douglas (1791-1819), politician and classical scholar, to Harriet Wrightson (d. 1864), eldest daughter of William Wrightson of Cusworth, Yorkshire; Harriet inherited Weston Hall through her aunt, Mary Heber, in 1809.Condition Report: The paint surface is uneven in places and dirty, with some areas of more ingrained dirt. There is a strip of paint loss to the framed edge at the upper left. There are a number of surface scuffs and scratches. UV light reveals scattered retouching throughout.

AFTER THOMAS PHILLIPSPORTRAIT OF GENERAL LORD HUTCHINSON OF ALEXANDRIA HOLDING A MAP OF EGYPTOil on canvasLater inscribed 'General Lord Hutchinson by Phillips' (lower left)127 x 102cm (50 x 40 in.) Literature:F. Sitwell, Weston Hall, Towchester, Northamptonshire: A Brief Guide, Northampton, 1993, p. 4, in the Dining Room.Catalogue Note:This oil on canvas portrait of John Hely-Hutchinson, 2nd earl of Donoughmore (1757-1832), is a close copy of a painting by Thomas Phillips (1770-1845) in the Royal Collection (RCIN 402776). The Royal canvas has near-identical dimensions to the portrait offered here - 50 x 40 ins. (127 x 102 cm.). The Royal portrait was painted in 1811 for George IV for 80 guineas in recognition of George's friendship with the sitter, who, as of 1803, had advised him on the governance of Ireland, and on the pacification of Queen Caroline. Lord Hutchinson was a well-known confident of George, when Prince of Wales, and became a regular visitor to Brighton Pavilion. The painting is recorded from the early-mid 19th century as having been at Carlton House, Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. Lord Hutchinson, army officer and politician, had an illustrious army career fighting against Napoleon's French revolutionary armies. In 1801, he commanded the first division of Sir Ralph Abercromby's army, which landed in Egypt on 10 March, and defeated the French at the battle of Alexandria. In December the same year, he was created Baron Hutchinson of Alexandria and of Knocklofty, co. Tipperary, with a pension of £2000 a year. He also received the new Turkish order of the Crescent in brilliants in March 1802. In 1825, he succeeded his brother as 2nd earl of Donoughmore and 2nd Viscount Hutchinson. He died, unmarried, at Knocklofty, co. Tipperary, in 1832, and was succeeded as earl and viscount by his nephew John Hely-Hutchinson (1787-1851). Colonel the Hon. Henry Hely-Hutchinson (1790-1874), the brother of the latter, and a professional solider who had served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, married Harriet Wrightson (1788-1864) in 1825. Harriet Wrightson had inherited Weston Hall in 1809 through her aunt Mary Heber. Their fourth daughter, Louisa Lucy, married Sir Reresby Sitwell, Bt., in 1857, and hence the link with the Sitwell family.Condition Report: The canvas is not relined. There is some very fine craquelure throughout and some light surface dirt. There is some flaking and paint loss to the lower edge and a few further minor losses to the lower left quadrant. Inspection under UV reveals scattered retouching to the lower edge and a green masking varnish, which is uneven and may conceal further restoration. Otherwise, in generally good condition. Some minor scuffs and abrasions to the frame.Condition Report Disclaimer
