John Singer Sargent RA, RP, RWS (1856-1925) - Freda Dudley Ward, signed and dated 1921, charcoal on paper, 62 x 47cm, original frame by Chapman Brothers LondonProvenance: The sitter's daughter Angela, Lady Laycock, nee Dudley Ward (1916-1999) (inferred); sold at auction on the premises at Wiseton Hall, Nottinghamshire (the seat of Sir Robert and Lady Laycock) in the early 1960's; whence purchased by the late father of the present vendorsThe socialite Freda, Mrs William Dudley Ward, nee Birkin (1894-1983) was the mistress of Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII from 1918-1929. The longevity of their relationship and so completely enthralled to her was he that it became common knowledge in 'Society'. Churchill, a longstanding friend of Edward, observed in 1927 that "it is quite pathetic to see the Prince and Freda. His love is so obvious and undisguisable". With the turn of the 19th c Sargent largely abandoned the swagger portraiture of the fin de siecle and turned to charcoal head portraits, invariably on the high quality French paper he demanded. They are not only technically brilliant drawings but imbued with the same perception of character and serenity as the bravura portraits or life studies in oil that preceded them. The date of the present portrait, 1921, poses the tantalising possibility that it may have been commissioned as a gift by her royal lover. Sargant's portrait of the Prince of Wales, a similar charcoal drawing of virtually the same size in the Royal Collection (RCIN 917270) was executed only a year earlier. The existence of Sargant's Freda Dudley Ward was unknown until 2016 when it featured on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow. Having been acquired over 60 years earlier at a sale at Wiseton Hall, it may be assumed to have belonged by then to the sitter's daughter Angela, Lady Laycock, the wife of Major General Sir Robert Laycock, Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. Mellors & Kirk is pleased to acknowledge the kind assistance of Richard Ormond in the cataloguing of this lot Loosely laid down on the original stout card mount. Foxing as evident from image, two worm holes extreme lower right of sheet; de-framed for sale but sold with the original frame
