SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS (BRITISH 1723-1792) PORTRAIT OF LADY STANDISH Oil on canvas 75 x 61cm (29½ x 24 in.) Provenance: Lady Catherine Standish;Elizabeth Ramsden née Smyth (heraldic co-heiress - Smyth arms quartered within those of Ramsden) Thence by descent to Col. R. C. P. Ramsden, Wigthorpe Hall, near Worksop, 1958 Thence by descent to Mrs Butroid. Her sale, Christie's 24 June, 1977, Lot 73. Private collection, United Kingdom. Literature: A. Graves & W. V. Cronin. A History of the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, 4 vols, London 1899-190. Volume III, p. 927 (sitter wrongly identified) David Mannings. Sir Joshua Reynolds, A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings, 2 vols, London: Yale University Press, 2000. Vol I, Text, p. 430; Vol II, Plates, p. 133 (fig. 365) Lady Catherine Standish (d.1780), née Catherine Frank, was born into the prominent Frank family of Pontefract, Yorkshire. Her mother, Elizabeth Lowther, was the daughter of Sir John Lowther Bt., M.P. for Westmoreland, and Catherine's father, Robert Frank MP (1660-1738), was active in borough politics and appointed Recorder for the Corporation of Pontefract in 1686. Although his appointment was contested several times during the dynastic and constitutional tumults of the late seventeenth century, he notably held office until his death in 1738, and served as an M.P. for the borough between 1710 and 1716. Frank was notably blacklisted as a 'Tory patriot' by the Hanoverians who held their crown by Whig support. Frank ensured that his daughter's marriages were advantageous and her first husband, John Smyth J.P. (1685-1731) of Heath Hall, Heath, was heir to a vast mercantile fortune. His father used this to cement their family's newfound place in the county gentry, purchasing the Heath estate near Wakefield and becoming 'the first squire of Heath.' His life was cut short however, and Catherine would soon remarry to Sir Thomas Standish of Duxbury, 2nd Baronet of Duxbury, becoming Lady Standish. However, it was through her daughter by her first marriage, née Elizabeth Smyth (b. 1727), that her acquaintance with Sir Joshua Reynolds was made. Elizabeth married Robert Ramsden of Osberton (1708-1769) in 1753, the fourth son of Sir William Ramsden, 2nd Bt. He was a captain in the British Army during the War of the Austrian Succession and served with distinction at the Battle of Dettingen on the 27th June 1743 and at the Battle of Fontenoy on the 11th May 1745. Robert was painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1755, sitting to the artist on four occasions. The portrait, which depicts Ramsden in a 'plum-coloured coat,' on a 'luminous greeny-grey background' was likely the inspiration for the commissioning of this portrait by his mother-in-law three years later, for in 1758 Lady Standish would also sit for Reynolds four times. The resultant half-length portrait depicts her wearing a white dress and black wrap. A great experimenter with paint, Reynolds was hailed by his admirers and reviled by his critics. This portrait is typical of the artist's work of the 1750s when he developed the technique of 'dead colouring,' in which monochrome, or near monochrome, paint layers were used to create luminous flesh tones. That this technique is made explicit here makes this striking portrait a testament not only to the sitter's patronage, but also to the pioneering painter himself. Condition Report: Canvas relined and on later stretcher which is providing good support. Fine surface cracking across the image but the paint appears to be stable. Under UV light there a scattered spots of retouching most of these are in background areas, but the face is untouched. There is also a diagonal line of retouching across the centre of the sitter's dress which probably covers a deep surface scratch, this is approx. 10 cm long but quite narrow. It has a layer of discoloured varnish. Condition Report Disclaimer

Nichols, 1798, extra-illustrated and expanded into three volumes, including autograph items of Lord Burleigh, John Wilkes, David Garrick, Horace Walpole and the author Henry Ellis (2) including one about the book’s scarcity, autograph signatures of Robert Vyner, Robert Aske, Thomas Bloodworth and John Hobby together on a slip of paper, plus approximately 330 engravings, comprising portraits, views, and antiquities, etc., plus 2 original drawings, printed items and extracts including a scare David Garrick playbill, etc., some occasional spotting or browning, red morocco bookplates of W. A. Foyle, top edges gilt, late 19th-century red half morocco gilt by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, some edge and corner wear, 4to (280 x 210 mm)QTY: (3)NOTE:Provenance: John Bullock (author’s autograph letter signed to Mr Bullock, Guildford, 29 September 1859: ‘… You quite astonish me to find a copy of the History of Shoreditch (illustrated too) at Guildford. There were but two hundred and fifty copies printed: and I believe the largest portion of them were lost in Mr [John] Nichols’s Fire [February 1808]; W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplates).The autograph items include:Cecil (William, 1520-1598), 1st Baron Burghley, English statesman, the chief adviser of Queen Elizabeth I for most of her reign, twice Secretary of State (1550-1553 and 1558-1572) and Lord High Treasurer from 1572. Document Signed, ‘W. Burghley’, 8 May 1594, being a warrant, in a clerk’s hand but signed by William [Cecil], Lord Burghley, instructing his former secretary Vincent Skinner, now Auditor of the Receipt of the Exchequer, to issue £100 to Sir Roger Williams for his ambassadorial mission to Henri IV of France, as the queen’s warrant has not yet been signed, dated 8 May 1594; annotated by Skinner with instructions to Mr Taylor, one of the tellers, to pay the amount, and that that this warrant would be replaced with a further order, whereupon this warrant is to be cancelled, dated 13 May 1594, a little spotting, old bookseller’s brief printed catalogue entry pasted to lower left blank margin, one page, folio [tipped in opposite p. 23]For William Cecil (1520-1597), Lord Burghley, Lord Treasurer, see ODNB.Sir Roger Williams (1539/40-1595), soldier and author, was a flamboyant Welshman who fought on the continent from 1557, between 1574 and 1577 in the Spanish army of Flanders (where he may have served as an intelligence agent on behalf of Sir Francis Walsingham). Williams spent the Armada year, 1588, in England. He helped to prepare the English militia to do battle with the Spanish (whose military methods he knew so well) and was second in command, to Essex, of the cavalry of the army gathered at Tilbury. Elizabeth had always tolerated rather than liked Williams, but in 1594 he was finally granted a life pension of £300 a year. In that year and in 1595 he was sent as special ambassador to Henri IV. These appointments reflect his special expertise in French affairs and friendship with the French king, but also perhaps a growing acceptance of him by Elizabeth—and probably most of all the influence at court of his patron, Essex. Williams died of fever on 12 December 1595 after a four-day illness, with Essex at his side. His extensive ODNB entry endorses the speculation that he might have served as the model for Fluellen, the fiery yet witty, consummate Welsh professional soldier in Shakespeare’s Henry V.Vincent Skinner (c. 1540-1616) entered Trinity College in Cambridge in 1557 and Lincoln’s Inn in 1565, occupied administrative positions in Lincolnshire between 1575 and 1583. He may already have been in Burghley’s service in 1571, when he was elected MP for Truro, the first of his eight parliamentary seats. A puritan, he was serving as Burghley’s secretary by at least 1578. Skinner left Burghley’s personal service in 1593, when he became auditor of the receipt, by that time the principal office in the lower Exchequer. His career after this date was an unhappy one, and he died intestate at a debtor’s prison on 28 February 1616 (History of Parliament).Burghley’s inability to obtain proper authorisation for this payment can be explained by the queen’s itinerary: on 7 May 1594 Elizabeth arrived at Lambeth Palace, where she remained until departing for Wimbledon, the house of Burghley’s son Sir Thomas Cecil, on 11 May.
