Jacob Huysmans,  Flemish c.1633-1696- Portrait of Lady Anne Home, Countess of Lauderdale, three-quarter length, seated, wearing a black dress and embroidered shawl, holding a lemon; oil on canvas, 124.6 x 102.5 cm. Provenance:  Peter Morris Esq. of Yester House sale, Sotheby's, London, 28 November 1973, lot 11 (as 'Sir Peter Lely').  Property of the late Hugo Morley-Fletcher, MA FSA (1940-2022). Exhibited:  Edinburgh, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 'Women in Scotland 1660-1780', 1979, no.38 (as 'Sir Peter Lely'). Note:  The present work was painted in c.1665. A second autograph version was in the Duke of Rothes's collection at Leslie House in Fife, and Huysmans repeated the composition for a portrait of another sitter, now in the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.550) (there incorrectly identified as by the landscape painter Cornelius Huysmans). In 1632 Anne Home (1612-1671) married John Maitland, 1st Duke of Lauderdale (1616-1682), who was later raised by Charles II to the rank of Duke and given what amounted to vice-regal powers in Scotland. Lady Anne married Lauderdale at the age of fifteen and together they had one child, a daughter. 'During the Commonwealth period, when Lauderdale was imprisoned in the Tower of London, his wife visited him faithfully and when it was decided that he should be moved to even stricter confinement in Warwick Castle he was able to report, ‘I bless God my wife prevailed to get the order recalled.' After the Restoration they lived together at Highgate House in London, which Lady Anna had inherited from her mother. When Pepys visited them there in 1666, he found Lauderdale at supper with 'his Lady and some Scotch people'' (Scottish National Portrait Gallery, ‘Women in Scotland 1660-1780' exhibition catalogue, pp.34-35).Huysmans was a Flemish portrait painter who, after training in his native Antwerp, immigrated to England before the Restoration. He became a feted court painter and attracted the patronage of the Portuguese born queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II and a Catholic like himself, of whom he painted several portraits. With his exuberant style, he was during his lifetime regarded as an important rival of the court painter Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680) who favoured a more sober treatment of his sitters.

She died suddenly on 17th June 1800 “after a few hours illness only” (Milton Church, Cambridge). Knight was one of Thomas Lawrence's earliest patrons. In 1777, when Lawrence was only eight years old, he drew a miniature of Knight's neighbour Charles Pepys, and the drawing remains in the Knight family collection (see Garlick, 1964, p.240). Garlick records that Lawrence's portrait of Elizabeth was unfinished, and the present work was clearly completed by a later hand.

ANGLO-DUTCH SCHOOL (CIRCA 1645) GROUP PORTRAIT OF LADY BODVILE WITH HER TWO DAUGHTERS, AND A PAGE Oil on canvas Later inscribed with identifying inscription 'THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LADY BODVILE & HER DAUGHTERS, SHE WAS MOTHER TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SARAH, COUNTESS OF RADNOR' (to the stretcher verso) 107 x 127cm (42 x 50 in.) In a wood frame carved with a sun, heads of flowers and scrolling foliage Provenance: Possibly commissioned by Sir John Bodvile for Bodvile Castle Inherited by Sarah, Countess of Radnor and possibly at Llanhydrock, Lady Isabella Legh, nee Robartes and thence by descent at Adlington Hall Literature: 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire: The Seat of Mr. A.M.R. Legh', Country Life, 29 July 1905, p. 130, 'Portraits of former Leghs over chimney-piece'.Adlington Guide Book: 'The North Front Rooms'. 'Beneath the spectator in Fig. 4 is a portrait attributed to Van Dyck of Lady Bodville and her two daughters, the elder of whom, Sarah, subsequently married the Viscount Bodmin, whose portrait has already been mentioned. After her father-in-law's death in 1865 she was granted by Royal Warrant the precedence of the wife of an earl, as if her husband had succeeded to the Radnor title. Pepys met her and described her as a "great beauty and a fine lady indeed" G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1962 and p. 1961, fig. 4 'The Dining-Room, beneath the Drawing-Room. This portrait is of Lady Anne Bodvile, née Russell (1612-69), wife of Sir John Bodvile of Bodvile Castle, Gwynedd, Wales, and her two daughters, Sarah (1640-1720) and Lucy (1655-unknown). The present portrait most likely entered the Legh collection following the marriage of Lady Isabella Robartes (1674-1725) to John Legh of Adlington Hall in 1693. Alternatively, it is conceivable that it could have been retained at Llanhyrdrock but later gifted to, or purchased by, the Legh family upon the death of their cousin, the 3rd Earl of Radnor, in 1741 when the Radnor title and Llanhydrock were separated: the title succeeded by distant cousin and the house, believe by antiquarian John Loveday to be in a sorry state, bequeathed to a nephew. Condition Report: The canvas presents an evident layer of yellowing varnish which renders the analysis of the restoration difficult. Nevertheless, a subtle craquelure is present, and a few retouches scattered across, most evident on the drapery of the mother to the left, where various retouches are visible to the folds, most noticeably above the hand, as well as an approx. 12cm long retouch below the hand which curves towards the bottom left corner. More retouching is present on the hair of the girl to the right, who also presents a grey superficial cloudy surface, most likely caused by the varnish. Further scattered retouches are visible in the foliage, and a few, yet minor, on the stone bugling behind. Condition Report Disclaimer

Letitia has been identified as the "Lady Robarts" mentioned in Count Hamilton's Mémoires du Comte de Grammont, par le C. Antoine Hamilton. Edition ornée de LXXII portraits, Graves d'apres les tableaux originaux., A Londres, [1793], and was described by Samuel Pepys as "a great beauty indeed". Although confusingly previously identified as Harriet, Wife of William, 1st Earl of Radnor (2nd Creation) another version of this work is housed at Llanhydrock House, Cornwall, inscribed as being Letitia Isabella Smith. The present portrait most likely entered the Legh collection following the marriage of Lady Isabella Robartes (1674-1725) to John Legh of Adlington Hall in 1693. Alternatively, it is conceivable that it could have been retained at Llanhyrdrock but later gifted to or purchased by the Legh family upon the death of their cousin, the 3rd Earl of Radnor, in 1741 when the Radnor title and Llanhydrock were separated: the title succeeded by distant cousin and the house, believe by antiquarian John Loveday to be in a sorry state, bequeathed to a nephew. Condition Report: The measurements are wrong, and the correct ones are the following: 124.5 x 99 cm The canvas is heavily relined. UV light reveals various retouches across the whole surface. Numerous retouches cross the whole left border, with many of about 4cm in width, and the larger, in the upper left corner, of about 8cm. Many retouches are also visible on the dress, especially on the red cloth where scattered retouches are added in the folds. In addition, a 8 cm vertical long restoration is present on the white cloth near the bottom border. Furthermore, extensive retouching is present in the background, especially on the back curtain. A few scattered pink coloured retouches, which are also visible to the naked eye, are present on the hands, and arms, and slightly on the hair. To conclude, a 7 cm long superficial scratch is present to he left of the sitter. Condition Report Disclaimer
