‘Shah Jahan in the Time of Youth’ ascribed to GovardhanIndia, Mughal, c.1630-1640opaque watercolour with gold on paper, inscribed at lower left '…dhan' (the second half of [Govar]dhan), inner blue border, outer gold-flecked cream border, inscribed in the lower border 'shabihi shah jahan dar ‘alam juwani ‘amal-i govardhan', 'a picture of Shah Jahan in the time of youth the work of Govardhan'; reverse with a letter dated 1846 relating to the provenance (see below)miniature: 23.8 x 14.2cmvisible area: 29.5 x 19.5cmProvenance:In the possession of an East Anglian collector, probably in or near Bury St. Edmunds, before 1846. A handwritten letter from R E Lofft dated 18th July 1846 describing the painting and giving interpretations of the inscription is pasted to the reverse of the frame.This is an important and rare painting of a Mughal prince seated with his consort in a palace chamber. There is a later inscription in the lower border describing the scene as 'a picture of Shah Jahan in the time of youth…' and naming the artist as Govardhan, one of the leading Mughal royal painters of the first half of the seventeenth century. This attribution is apparently confirmed by a short inscription at the lower left of the painted area which reads '…dhan' - the second half of the name Govardhan. It is not clear why only the final letters of the name survive in this inscription, but it may simply be due to localised loss of pigment and subsequent retouching, of which there is evidence at the lower left corner.The style of the painting is very close to Govardhan’s, in particular the subdued, brownish palette, the precisely drawn facial features of the two figures, the romance and palpable intimacy of the scene, and the candid gaze that the princess directs outwards towards the viewer. There are several works signed by or attributed to Govardhan that provide comparisons, of which the following are the most relevant: a scene of a prince (possibly Parviz) and his consort on a terrace, a scene of Jahangir celebrating Holi in the women’s quarters, and a scene of a gathering of princes in a garden (all three in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, see E Wright, Muraqqa’, Imperial Mughal albums from the Chester Beatty Library, Alexandria VA, 2008, nos. 39, 41, 44, pp. 302-303, 310-311, 322-323); two ladies on a daybed (Seitz Collection, see J Seyller, 'Mughal and Deccani Paintings', Zurich, 2010, no. 11, p. 55); a prince and consort (probably Jahangir and Nur Jahan) embracing on a terrace (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, see P Pal, 'Indian Painting', Los Angeles, 1993, no.71, pp. 259-261); a portrait of Jabha (see J Seyller, ‘Govardhan’, in Beach, Fischer and Goswamy, 'Masters of Indian Painting 1100-1650', Artibus Asiae Suppl. 48-1, Zurich, 2011, p. 369, fig. 13). In terms of the general style and subject matter, there are several further works of the 1630s and 1640s that relate to the present painting, including a scene of Jahangir with Sultan Khurram

Charles Henry Cook (1830-1906)The Soldier's Sweetheartoil on canvassigned lower right50 x 35cm (20 x 14in) Private CollectionCharles Cook was born in Bandon, West Cork, and this work is typical of his subject matter - which was local country people. His portraits of farmers, labourers and musicians, at markets, in public houses, or like this one, out in the countryside, provide insights into traditional dress and rural pursuits. Most of his paintings show men so this portrayal of a young farmers daughter, her working apron tucked up around her waist to show off the petticoat below, was traditional and fashionable. A rare full-length portrait of a milkmaid passed through this saleroom in December 2013. The way this sitter holds a miniature male portrait, perhaps of a soldier, provides the romantic narrative so beloved of genre painters of the nineteenth century. Dr. Claudia Kinmonth, October 2017

CONDITION REPORT: On the left hand side of the portrait is the initial "E". The blue sky background looks a little washed out. The ivory itself is in good order and free from any chips or cracks. The frame is in generally good order however on the metal mount framing the figure the gilding has worn to the base metal.

A 19th century portrait miniature on ivory, oval, female figure with white blouse. 55 mm x 42 mm, ebonised frame, foliate brass hanger (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: There is a small nick to the top right hand corner edge of the ivory however this cannot be seen under the metal mount. There is also a small chip to the edge of the bottom of the ivory but again this is covered by the metal mount. Generally there are no further visible faults and no cracks visible. The frame is typically in good order although the ground is rather crazed. The metal framing is slightly rubbed. The backing card at the rear of the picture is a modern replacement.

CONDITION REPORT: The ivory appears to be in good order with no visible chips or cracks. The paint is good throughout.

The frame is in generally good order with only the slightest of nicks on the top right hand corner and very small minor nicks around the edge. The gilt framing is good. The folding metal retaining clips at the rear are very loose and flimsy and the image does sit rather loosely within the frame.
