Lot 42
Studio of Daniel Mytens (?Delft 1590-1644 The Hague)Portrait of King Charles I, three-quarter-length, standing, wearing a brown and gold doublet and hose, the sash of the Order of the Garter and the Great George, holding a pair of gloves, beside the Scottish crown laid on a table oil on canvas 109.2 x 83.4cm (43 x 32 13/16in).Footnotes:Although the composition of the present portrait does not appear to be directly derived from any hitherto known portrait of the King, it can be related to a number of portraits of King Charles I by Daniel Mytens. The head in the present work can be compared to the Mytens in the Royal Collection which is signed and dated 1628. The composition which shows the Great George suspended from the Garter sash is known through engravings, published by Franciscus van Hoeye after Mytens. Perhaps most interesting of all is the presence of what must be a representation of the Scottish royal crown, which is unique to the present portrait, all the other portraits of Charles I that depict him with a crown having shown him beside the Tudor Crown, otherwise known as the Crown of Henry VIII. Although Charles succeeded his father in 1625, his long-delayed and long-awaited Scottish coronation did not take place until he finally returned to his native Scotland in the early summer of 1633, making a magnificent civic entry, the first such royal pageant in Edinburgh since 1590. It is possible that the present portrait was commissioned to record this event and is a rare contemporary depiction of the Scottish crown. The regalia known as the Honours of Scotland, which include the Crown along with the Sceptre and Sword of State, unlike their English equivalent of the time, still exist. Following the Act of Union of 1707, which unified the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, and having no ceremonial role to play in the proceedings of the new Parliament of Great Britain in London, the Honours were locked away in Edinburgh Castle. There they remained all but forgotten in a chest until 1818, when a group of people including Sir Walter Scott set out to find them to great public acclaim. Charles's complicated relationship with Scotland was summarized by the historian C. V. Wedgwood: 'It was not the least of this king's misfortunes that he was always too much of a Scotsman for England and too much of an Englishman for Scotland. In many ways he was the type of the absentee Scot, rootless in England and uprooted in Scotland.'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

* Fisher (Thomas, 1782-1836). Mrs Sandy's House, Eversholt, Bedfordshire, watercolour and traces of pencil, depicting a large and imposing red brick house with sash windows, a path between lawns leading to the panelled front door, and a door in the garden wall to the left leading into a small dwelling or bothy, image size 24 x 28.5cm (9.5 x 11.25ins), titled in ink by the artist to lower margin below image, mounted, framed and glazedQty: (1)NOTESProvenance: Sir Gregory Osborne Page-Turner (1785-1848), 4th Baronet of Battlesden, Bedfordshire; Christie's, The Battlesden Sale, 1824, cat. no. 2503; Emily Page-Turner; purchased from her executors 1885; by descent from the purchaser; Sotheby's Thomas Fisher's Watercolours of Bedfordshire and British Architectural Drawings and Watercolours , 12th June 1980, lot 60. The house depicted here is still extant, and now called Linden House, having been known as Linden Farm in the late 18th century, and subsequently as Eversholt House in the 19th century and Eversholt Rectory in the early 1900s. A number of Sandys family members are associated with, or lived in and around, Eversholt from the mid 18th century right up until the late 19th century. Eminent antiquary and draughtsman, Thomas Fisher exhibited a number of topographical drawings at the Royal Academy between 1804 and 1807, but his most important contribution to this field was the recording of the history of Bedfordshire, culminating in two publications: Collections Historical, Genealogical and Topographical for Bedfordshire and Monumental Remains and Antiquities in the County of Bedfordshire , published in 1812-16 and 1828 respectively. His interest in Bedfordshire stemmed partly from the fact that its history had been little recorded, and his watercolours show a love of detail arising from careful observation of the landscape and villages of the area. Sir Gregory Osborne Page-Turner was from an eminent land-owning family, and his father was the Member of Parliament for Thirsk for 21 years, but by 1823 he had apparently been incarcerated in a debtors' prison, having twice been declared a lunatic, once in 1814 and again in 1823. He died during an epileptic fit and his will was the subject of a court case to determine whether or not he was of sound mind when it was drawn up.
