ATTRIBUTED TO MICHAEL DAHL (SWEDISH CIRCA 1659 - 1743) THE HONOURABLE JOHN SPENCER CIRCA 1732 Oil on canvas Inscribed (lower left) 240 x 144.5cm (94¼ x 56¾ in.) Unframed Provenance: Presumably commissioned by the sitters father-in-law, John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville Thence by descent Lady Louisa Carteret, who married Thomas Thynne, 2nd Viscout Weymouth Thence by descent Henry Frederick Thynne, 1st Baron Carteret (1735 - 1763) Thence by descent His sale, Christie's London, The Thynne Heirlooms, 1 May 1911, lot 54 (to Cohen) Private Collection, England Sale, Christie's, London, 11 July 1997, lot 54 (as attributed to Stephen Slaughter) Private Collection, South AfricaLiterature: Herbert Minton Cundall, Handbook for Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire; with Maps and Plans, John Murray, London, 1895, p.130The Honourable John Spencer was born on the 13th May 1708, and was the youngest son of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and his wife Anne Churchill, daughter of the 1st Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. John was only 7 when his mother died and he was consequentially bought up by his grandmother, the infamous Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. Unlike his brothers, John had not inherited a title, despite this, his grandmother wrote that "I design to set up the only grandson I have now that is a commoner, John Spencer, who has a very considerable fortune for a younger brother, and I will it as good as most elder brothers". This was certainly the case and the inheritance from his grandmother allowed John to live an immensely comfortable life. After attending Eton, he undertook a Grand Tour between 1725 and 1727 going to France, Switzerland and Italy. In 1732, John Spencer succeeded his cousin, William Godolphin, Marquess of Blandford, as the Member of Parliament for Woodstock, a seat he held until his death in 1746. He is also listed as one of the founding governors for the Foundling Hospital, set up to educate and house deserted young children. On the death of his father, in 1722, he inherited vast swathes of land, notably the family estates in Northamptonshire, including Althorp, as well as already having the properties given to him by his grandmother, including Wimbledon Park. Shortly after he came into his inheritance, he married Georgiana Caroline Carteret, the third daughter and co-heir of John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville.Michael Dahl (circa 1659 - 1743), moved to England in 1688, after spending time studying in Italy and France. His talent was much sought after and he painted portraits of the upper echelons of English society, including Queen Anne, and Prince George of Denmark. He also painted Spencer's brother, Charles Duke of Marlborough (1706 - 1758), in 1737 (see, Sotheby's, London, 24 November Charles Duke of Marlborough (1706 - 1758), in 1737 2005, lot 28). This interesting full-length portrait depicting John Spencer in Hussar's uniform was noted by art historian Minton Cundall as hanging in the drawing room at Haynes Park in 1895, alongside the portrait of Spencer's wife Georgiana Carteret, by Vanderbank and now in the collection of the Earl Spencer at Althorp. It is highly probable that these two works were commissioned by John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville for the couple's marriage in 1732, and hung together as pendant works. John Spencer was a popular figure at Court and great friends with Frederick, Prince of Wales. Indeed, his portrait is also captured by the equestrian artist John Wootton in a series of works in the Royal Collection showing the Prince of Wales accompanied by courtiers whilst shooting and hunting. Spencer's position at Court was reflected in his appointment as the Ranger of Windsor Great Park, after the death of his grandmother in 1744, who held the position previously. Unusually, the rich Hussar's uniform which Spencer wears seems to have been chosen as Court fancy dress rather than to indicate a military position. Spencer was a politician and landowner rather than a military man and there does not appear to be any record of him serving with an Hussar regiment. Dahl's capability in recreating the rich materials and textiles of this exotic uniform gives the sitter an added gravitas and the size of the portrait gives additional swagger to an impressive composition.
DAVID TONER (SCOTTISH 1944-) GLASGOW TENEMENTS, BRIDGETON Signed lower left, oil on board 38cm x 49cm (15in x 19.25in) Bridgeton lies to the east of Glasgow. Originating as a weaving village in the early eighteenth century, as the textiles industry developed so too did Bridgeton's infrastructure, and tenements were constructed to accommodate local workers. The traffic lights in this vibrant oil may reference the Bridgeton Cross, an infamous junction. Toner has carried the traffic light tones of red, yellow and green across the composition to suggest the frenetic urgency of city life.

She learnt to sculpt at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, which she joined in 1904 as one of its first female students. Before moving to Paris just before the outbreak of the First World War. Here, she began designing sets and costumes for the Ballets Russes at the Paris Opera, working alongside renowned artist Léon Bakst. Her works were also exhibited at the Salon d’Automne, and throughout the 1920s she created pieces for fashion houses Myrbor and 4 Rue Belloni. Following her success designing for others, Lipska opened several boutiques showcasing her own works, including one in the Champs Elysées. She also expanded into portrait painting, interior decoration, furniture design and later, produced various busts of key figures. Her textiles were inspired by everything from traditional Polish and Russian artwork to ancient Egyptian and Oriental designs. Cleverly combined with more modern Art Deco and Cubist patterns, these influences led to the creation of numerous abstract and tactile pieces. Recurring features of her designs included metallic or brightly coloured embroidery and whip stitching on silk, cotton and even leather.
