18th Century Irish SchoolThree-quarter-length, "Portrait of Sir Marmaduke Coghill, sitting in his robes," A letter on a table beside him reads, 'To the Rt. Honble Doctor Coghill, Chancelour of the Exchequer, Dublin, 1735,' O.O.C., 129cms x 103cms (51" x 40 1/2"), in narrow gilt frame. (1)Marmaduke Coghill (1673-1739) was the elder son of Sir John Coghill of Drumcondra. MP for Dublin University from 1713, he was an active parliamentarian and a friend of Speaker Conolly. He was a zealous promoter of the Irish economy, of the building of Dr Steevens's Hospital, and of the affairs of Trinity College. He was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1735.He succeeded his father as a judge of the Prerogative Court in 1699. This court dealt mainly with wills and marriages. He himself never married, his engagement having been allegedly broken off by his fiancée after he delivered a judgement that it was lawful for a husband to beat his wife in moderation, using a little cane or switch.Inheriting Drumcondra House (now All Hallows College), he had it rebuilt on an elaborate scale in 1727, possibly by Edward Lovett Pearce. He lived there "in luxury" with his unmarried sister Mary, who after his death had an elaborate marble monument by Peter Scheemakers erected to his memory in the Protestant church at Drumcondra.Attributed variously to Francis Bindon (1690-1765), Stephen Slaughter (1697-1765) Philip Hussey (c. 1713-1783). But is this the famous portrait of him painted by Charles Jervas?Provenance: Drumcondra House, Dublin, the Coghill family by direct descent. (1)
