Addressed to a John Leigh Esq, it doesn't appear to be signed by Peel, but is carefully attached to another card with his name above it - this would suggest it's written in his hand. We're not experts, but this is why we have priced it very low. Good condition. All items come with a Certificate of Authenticity and can be shipped worldwide.

*Embroidery. Embroidered mirror frame, English, circa 1640, embroidery and stumpwork on silk satin, elaborately worked with Biblical scenes and symbolic motifs on a theme of deception, incorporating figures, animals, insects, a castle, flowers and trees, an hour glass, an angel, etc., worn and fragile in places (some strengthening on verso), 60 x 52cm (23.5 x 20.5ins) A remarkable rare survival depicting the following Biblical characters: David and Bathsheba, Jezebel, Samson and Delilah, Tamar, Aaron, Eve, Laban, and Isaac. Although mirrors existed before, it wasn't until the sixteenth century that the Venetians perfected the production of clear plate glass. Mirrors made during this early period were extremely costly and highly prized, and so the frames that surrounded them were frequently elaborate and beautifully made. In this case the frame is more than just a thing of beauty; it also conveys a message through its stories and symbols. The theme of deception was seen as a very appropriate one for a mirror frame; the allegorical complexities of the mirror have been used time and again in art and literature, most obviously the mirror being the means of distorting an image, or conversely, being a means of robbing the viewer of self-deception. A number of symbolic images convey further instructive messages, for example a snail denotes sloth and sin, the hare lust and fecundity, the squirrel avarice and greed, an hour glass the passage of time, an iris the power of light and hope, a stag piety and religious aspiration, and so on.

Artist: Jeanne Modigliani (1918 - 1984) Artwork Title: Portrait Size: 63 x 48 cm Media: Pastel on paper Artist Info: Jeanne Modigliani was born in Nice on the 29th November 1918. She was soon after adopted and brought up by her aunt Margherita Modigliani, in Livorno, her father Amedeo Modigliani's home town. Her childhood was never discussed until she reached adulthood so she was unaware of the lives and tragic deaths of her parents, who both died when she was only 14 months old. However, life was not to be easy for the child of Modigliani either, and as Fascism deepened its hold on Italy poor young Jeanne was identified and persecuted as a Jew – so she left Italy and, like her father before her, took refuge in Paris where she later joined the French Resistance and she was imprisoned for political reasons. As daughter of painter Jeanne Hebutern and the great master Amedeo Modigliani, Jeanne inherited artistic genes and her works are of a stunning, elegant, refined and sensual quality, albeit painting was only one of her many artistic outlooks in life. Jeanne Modigliani died in 1984 in Paris, at the age of 66. Notes: Probably her most lasting heritage is the faithful and true biography of her father written in 1958 and the product of very intensive, scrupulous and passionate research when she finally discovered who her real father was! "Modigliani, man and myth", was later translated into English from the Italian by Esther Rowland Clifford. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have had some low auctions records but have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have now become rare collectors items.
