PORTRAIT OF PRINCE HENRY BENEDICT STUART MID-18TH CENTURY oil on panel, a half portrait of Prince Henry Benedict Stuart(13.5cm x 11cm)Footnote: Note: This sensitive mid-18th century portrait of Prince Henry appears to be inspired by the 1737 pastel commissioned by King James from Jean-Etienne Liotard. This example differs from the copy in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery which has a more elaborate coat and lacks the red cloak. It however more closely matches a miniature with the simpler coat and has the sash similarly prominently ruffled over the breast also in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery collection (see King Over The Water, Portraits of the Stuart in Exile after 1689, Fig. 63). Although copies of portraits of Prince Henry are well recorded they appear much less common than those of Prince Charles, this example appears rarely encountered.
A PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF KING JAMES III UNSIGNED the oval porcelain plaque hand painted with half-length portrait of King James in armour wearing badges of the Order of Thistle and Garter, titled to reverse of plaque, in gilt oval frame with simple loop suspension(9cm high (excluding suspension))
