Attributed to John Zachary Kneller (1642-1702) Sixteen portrait miniatures of Civil War period and later sitters, including Charles I (1600-1649)after or in the manner of Sir Peter Lely, Sir Godfrey Kneller, John Hoskins and otherstwo signed with the initials 'IZK', the others inscribed with the initials of the original artists being imitated 'PL', 'SC', 'IH', 'CJ' and othersinscribed on the reverse with the identity of the sittersfourteen oil on copper, one oil on paper, one oil on oak panel, oval, in turned wood framesvarious sizes, largest 12cmProvenance:The Reynolds Gallery, Plymouth, from whom acquired in 1982, as 'by John Zachary Kneller', by the late Barry Lock (1934-2021)This group of 16 miniatures has been traditionally attributed to John Zachary Kneller, the elder brother of the more famous Sir Godfrey, with whom he came to England. Little is known of his miniature painter career, but the market for his miniatures in oil largely relied on his brother’s successful portrait business, as they were mostly small, portable copies of Sir Godfrey’s portraits. Two oil miniatures on copper of William III and the Duchess of Manchester signed by him are in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (inv. no. P.58-1923; P.37-1923). From 1982, on the basis of stylistic comparison with the examples in the Victoria & Albert Museum and the fact that two of the present group are signed by him, they have all carried this attribution.

In 1719, she married James Francis Edward Stuart, the 'Old Pretender' (see previous lot). Following their marriage, they were invited to live in Rome under Papal protection by Pope Clement XI, who acknowledged them as the rightful King and Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland. They had two sons, Charles Edward Stuart, 'Bonnie Prince Charlie', and Henry Benedict Stuart, 'Cardinal Duke of York' (see subsequent lot).

Upon the death of his brother in 1788, he became known by the Jacobites as Henry IX of England, but as the Papacy did not recognise him as the lawful ruler of England, Scotland and Ireland, they referred to him as 'Cardinal Duke of York'. His fortunes turned at the time of the French Revolution, when he lost his French Royal benefices and sacrificed many resources to assist Pope Pius VI. He died in Frascati in 1807, aged 82. At the time of his death, he was (and remains) one of the longest serving Cardinals.The enamel - paint layer is stable. Surface dirt around the edges.

Bernard Lens III (1682-1740) Portrait miniature of King Richard III (1452-1485) the last Plantagenet King of England, wearing a dark green Houppelande edged with fur, black cap with a gold jewelled clasp and matching jewelled collar, painted against a blue ground with gold border signed with gilt monogram 'BL' (lower right), the reverse inscribed '10/ King Richard III,/ 1485/ Bernd. Lens Fecit/ 1732.' watercolour on vellum, circular 5cmProvenance: Bonhams, London, 21st November 2012, lot 4, when acquired by the late Barry Lock (1934-2021)As well as producing original likenesses throughout his career, Bernard Lens also had a thriving business producing copies of historic miniatures and miniature copies of oil paintings by Old Masters and contemporary artists. The present miniature belongs to a series of over 30 portraits of the Kings and Queens of England by Bernard Lens and his sons. The solid blue background harks back to Tudor and early Stuart miniatures and thus lends the portrait a historical character. In the early 18th century, these subjects were highly sought after amongst antiquarians who had a passion for collecting so-called 'heads', or portraits of famous historical figures. This collecting trend was typified by Horace Walpole (1717-1797), who was an amateur pupil of Bernard Lens, and amassed an extensive collection of thousands of paintings and prints of famous people. The Victoria & Albert Museum holds six examples from this series (inv. E.594-1994 to E.599-1994).The sitter, Richard III, only ruled as King of England for two short years and was the last English king to die on a battlefield. His defeat and demise at the Battle of Bosworth Field marks the end of the Wars of the Roses, the reign of the Plantagenet dynasty and the end of the Middle Ages in England.Not examined out of frame. Colours appear strong. Wrinkling to the vellum support with a pronounced crease along the bottom left side under the sitter's jewelled collar and another raised area near the sitter's cap.

It is at Houghton Hall, Norfolk as it was given by the King to his Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. The present miniature predates Lens' appointment in 1723 as "Painter in Enamell [sic] in Ordinary" to the King, and it was therefore probably painted to help secure his position at the court. Another version from 1718, but dated slightly later, to the 27th June, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (P.64-1987).This item is offered for sale in accordance with the Ivory Act 2018 and has been assigned an exemption certificate, Ref.

Born in Westminster into a naval family with connections to the Pitt family, Smith joined the Royal Navy in 1777 at the age of thirteen and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a lieutenant at the age of eighteen. He served with distinction in the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars, earning a reputation as a brilliant tactician and commander. In 1799, as a Captain of the HMS Tigre, he led an audacious attack on the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile, which resulted in a resounding victory for the British.After distinguishing himself in the Mediterranean, Smith returned to England in 1801, becoming a Member of Parliament for Rochester and the lover of Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales. He returned to active duty in 1805 and sailed for Portugal. In 1807, during the Siege of Porto, Portugal, he successfully defended the city against a superior French force, earning him the title of 'Conqueror of Porto.' He also played a crucial role in the successful defence of Cádiz, Spain, against French forces during the Peninsular War. Smith was often entrusted with diplomatic missions by the British government, attending the Congress of Vienna and playing a key role in fostering alliances with various European powers to counter French expansionist ambitions. In 1815, he received a knighthood for his work with Wellington in securing the peace and guaranteeing that Louis XVIII could safely return to Paris. After his illustrious naval career, Smith retired from active service in 1816 and was later promoted to the rank of Admiral.
