CHARLES IIWarrant signed ('Carolus R') at foot, with engraved initial letter portrait of Charles II, historiated first line and foliate decoration incorporating the royal arms, ruled in red, in Latin, addressed to Frederick William Marquis of Brandenburg, Archduke of the Holy Roman Empire and First Elector ('our most dear friend'), appointing Robert Southwell ambassador designate to the Elector of Brandenburg 'for the purpose of promoting our friendship and diplomatic relations in accordance with our mutual wishes', offering him protection and total freedom as the King's agent and ordering he 'shall not be dealt with in any way violently or unkindly', on one sheet of vellum, some surface abrasions and slight waterstaining, 472 x 800mm., Whitehall, 27 February 1679/80Footnotes:'OUR FAITHFUL AND DILIGENT SERVANT ROBERT SOUTHWELL': At the time of this appointment as ambassador to the Elector of Brandenburg Southwell had already enjoyed a distinguished and lucrative career and had been described by Arlington as 'an ingenious young gentleman and very well qualified' (Toby Barnard, ODNB). An accomplished and respected diplomat, he held significant posts in both Lisbon and Brussels and in 1679 had managed to survive a controversy when he was reputed to have suppressed information about the conspiracy behind the Popish Plot. Despite this 'his choice in the spring of 1680 for an embassy to the elector of Brandenburg showed that he was still highly regarded. The mission was connected with a scheme to construct an alliance against France, and it took Southwell to the prince of Orange and the court of Brunswick–Lüneburg. But such diplomacy was not to the taste of Charles II, moving in the orbit of France' (ODNB). Southwell's attempt at negotiating a political and commercial alliance was made particularly difficult by Elector Frederick who was renowned for his shifting allegiances, and he was recalled the following November. For a detailed account of the role of Southwell in the intricate negotiations see 'The Relations Between England and Germany 1660-1688', C. Brinkmann, English History Review, Vol. 24, No. 95, July 1909, pp.448-469. Southwell was returned as MP for Lostwithiel in 1685 and served as President of the Royal Society from 1690 to 1695.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

JAMES II - SCOTLANDDocument signed ('James R') at head, to William, Duke of Queensberry ('our Treasurer Principall') and John, Earl of Kintore ('our Treasurer Deput of our ancient Kingdome of Scotland'), ordering the 'speedy & effectuall' payment of two thousand pounds to 'our right trusty & right welbeloved Cousin & Councellor' John Marquis of Athole as 'a new Mark of our Royall ffavour & Bounty', to be taken from the 'ffines already imposed or hereafter to be imposed by our Privy Councell...', counter-signed by John Murray, 1st Marquess of Atholl and John, Earl of Kintore; subscribed with a note to Hugh Wallard, Cash Keeper, instructing him to make the payment, signed by Queensberry and dated 16 February 1686, one page, integral blank with address panel, on paper with hanging horn watermark [possibly that of Wendelin Richel, Strasbourg], trace of red wax seal, seal tear with loss, dust-stained where originally folded for despatch and exposed, some dust-staining and creasing elsewhere but overall in attractive condition, folio (347 x 235mm.), 'Given at our Court at Whitehall', 22 January 1685/6Footnotes:'OUR RIGHT TRUSTY & RIGHT WELBELOVED COUSIN & COUNCELLOR': KING JAMES REWARDS THE MARQUESS OF ATHOLL FOR HIS LOYALTY AFTER THE ARGYLL REBELLION. In May 1685, Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll, with the support of a group of Scottish protestant exiles, landed at Islay with a force of 300 men, hoping to raise an army of thousands in the hope of overthrowing James II. They planned to occupy Royal forces in Scotland, thus enabling Monmouth to march on London from the West Country in a coordinated attack. However, they underestimated the hoped-for support from the Presbyterian lowlanders, and the disorganised rebels, beset by infighting, were soundly defeated by the King's forces commanded by John Murray, Marquess of Atholl. Argyll was arrested and executed without trial. Atholl was granted a considerable sum for his loyalty and rewarded with the newly-created Order of the Thistle in 1687. Even £2,000 was not enough to buy his loyalty for long – in the years to come he was alternate his allegiance vascilated between both James and William of Orange; 'In being false he was not a coldly calculating politician, but a panic-stricken ditherer' (David Stevenson, ODNB).The Treasury finances were looking particularly healthy at the time of this payment. Queensberry, as Treasurer, and Kintore, as Treasurer-Depute, were actively involved in enriching the King's coffers by a system of punitive fines and taxes. Queensberry was instructed to raise £40,000 annually with permission to retain any surplus for his own use. 'According to Gilbert Burnet, he 'was for every thing that would bring money into the treasury' (Bishop Burnet's History, 378). Husbands were to be fined when their wives failed to attend church, dissidents were to be prevented from travelling to the colonies until every fine possible had been extracted from them, new powers were to be exercised in reviewing the financial administration of burghs and other bodies, and generally no opportunity was to be missed in recovering the payments due to the crown' (J.D. Ford, ODNB). By the end of 1686 both Queensbury and Kintore had been removed from office pending an audit of the Treasury accounts.

Landscape with a herdsman driving cattle through a ruined arch watercolour 12.5 x 16cmFootnote: Provenance: The Rev Canon W R Beach and thence by descent The Reverend W R Beach, a missionary in China in the 1850s and a Canon of St John's Cathedral in Hong Kong, was a friend of Dr Thomas Boswell Watson (1815-1860). Watson was a keen amateur painter who was George Chinnery's physician in Macau between 1845-1852 and was often paid for his services with Chinnery's pictures. The Reverend Mr Beach married Dr Watson's daughter, Sophia J Watson, and hence a number of Chinnery's works have been passed into the current collection.Condition report: Discoloured, with a narrow lighter strip showing the original colours along the top edge. Examined out of frame.

Portrait, believed to be of James Dunlop (1741-1816) of Tollcross, Carmyle and Garnkirk, three quarter length, seated, facing right oil on canvas 75 x 62cmFootnote: Provenance: [According to Kidson (see Literature) ? Captain Donald, sale, Christie's, 25 March 1893, lot 373, Bought by Colnaghi (38 gns.), C. Lyon; Mackenzie & Kermack, With Agnew by 1937, Bought in 1941 by C R N Routh]. With Agnew by August 1965, when acquired by Paul Mellon; Presented by him in 1981 to the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven; By whom sold at Christie's, London, 17 November 1989, lot 22, when acquired by the present owner. Literature: ? H Ward & W Roberts, Romney, 1904, p. 48; Alex Kidson, George Romney: A complete catalogue of his paintings, New Haven: Yale University Press, 2015, no. 1565 According to Kidson (see Literature) there is only one known payment in 1778-9 for a sitting to Romney for a three quarter length portrait of a 'Mr Dunlop', which he previously thought was his catalogue number 393 (now in a Texas private collection as of a John Dunlop). The present painting, however, Kidson included in his catalogue as no. 1565, and which from photographs he then as now, considers is autograph. In fact, he currently believes the present painting has the best claim to be the work commissioned from Romney, although he suggests the sitter looks somewhat older than James Dunlop would have been in 1778-9 (i.e. aged 37). When this portrait was painted, James Dunlop was only 'of Carmyle' but it has in its history and literature been referred to as 'James Dunlop of Garnkirk', which estate he only bought from the representatives of his late uncle, also James (1697-1769), in 1782. We are very grateful to Alex Kidson for his assistance with our catalogue entry.Condition report: Oil on canvas which has been lined. The paint layer has localised areas of raised and flaking paint around the edges which appears to be in later areas of fill rather than the original. There is matte, discoloured retouching around the edges of the painting. There are residues of old varnish caught in the texture of the brushstrokes creating a slightly mottled appearance. The upper layer of varnish is slightly uneven and yellowed, there is abrasion around the edges caused by framing. There is flaking and losses to the gilding on the frame.
