Frans van der Mijn (Dutch, 1719-1783) Portrait of a lady as a shepherdess, in a blue velvet and gold dress, three-quarter length, standing in white with a blue bodice, pearl bracelets and holding a basket of flowers and a huette, beside an urn upon a pedestal, oil on canvas, in a painted carved frame, 50 x 41 cm oil on canvas 50 x 41cm (20 x 16in) Provenance: Baron Ash, Wingfield Castle, Suffolk; thence by descent in the Leader family, Monks Hall, Syleham, Suffolk. Exhibited: Birmingham, The City Museum and Art Gallery, Jubilee Commemorative Exhibition, 1934 (when lent by Baron Ash). Lined canvas.

Manner of Jan van Scorel (Dutch, 1495-1562) Portrait of a woman in black, with folded hands, half length oil on paper laid to canvas 64 x 50cm (25 x 20in) Other Notes: This portrait is an identical version of a composition that is best known from a painting long attributed to Holbein in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta, Malta. When that painting was lent to the National Gallery, London, in the late 1930s an attribution to Jan van Scorel was suggested, but even today that is not universally accepted. The present painting, unlike the Valletta picture, is painted on paper, later mounted on linen canvas. There is a fine network of age cracks in the lighter paint passages, through which underdrawing is visible, especially in the sitter's face and in the hands, and this would suggest a painting produced in the mid-16th Century, though the heavier wide cracks of the background suggest later over painting. A condition report is available online. Shiny varnish. Two bumps to the canvas. Old stretcher bar marks can be seen from the front. Lined. Loose in its frame. Tiny paint loss/chip to the right of her veil. Portrait of a Woman, after Jan Van Scorel 16th August 2016 Materials and technique The painting is executed in oil onto a paper support which has been mounted onto linen canvas and attached to a stretcher. There is a convex deformation to the canvas and paper at the lower right corner. The paint layer is thinly applied with a areas of low impasto around the white cuffs of the dress. The paint handling is accomplished and the blending and shadowing finely applied. The lighter paint passages have a fine network of age cracks which would be expected from an aged oil painting. In localised areas of the background the paint has wide drying cracks and 'alligatoring'. This type of surface texture is usually seen on paintings of a later date but may be associated with areas of overpaint. Fine underdrawing is visible with the naked eye around the features of the sitter and in the hands. The visible marks have a mechanical appearance, rather than loose freehand, and the paint layers above faithfully follow these lines. This is typical of underdrawing which has been applied using a pattern as a transfer technique. The colours used on the portrait are unlikely to help with dating the work. Earth colours, whites and blacks are pigments which tend to be uniform through out the centuries and would only help confirm the painting is pre 1900's. As such it is difficult to date the work accurately but it is a fine copy or version after the Jan Van Scorel painting. Condition report The paper is well attached to the lining canvas. The canvas, tacks and stretcher all appear in good condition are likely to date to the 20th century. There is a convex deformation in the lower right corner of the painting which has affected the canvas and paper support and caused circular cracking to the paint layer. There is a large loss to the paint layer to the right of the sitter's head. The rest of the paint layer appears in a good and stable condition. The painting has a varnish which has yellowed and is slightly streaky but generally even and glossy. The varnish is abraded where it has rubbed against the frame. There is a light layer of surface dirt present.
English School (19th Century) Portrait of the jockey Job Marson (1817-1857) inscribed lower left "Dec. 1852" and sold with Mr Marson's racing whip oil on board (2) 58 x 44cm (23 x 17in) Other Notes: Job Marson (1817-1857) was a British classic winning jockey, whose most famous partnership came with Voltigeur, winner of the 1850 Derby and St. Leger. Voltigeur (1847–1874) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1849 to August 1852 he ran ten times and won five races. In 1850 he won the Epsom Derby and the St Leger against his fellow three-year-olds and then recorded his most famous victory when beating The Flying Dutchman in the Doncaster Cup. In May 1851 Voltigeur was beaten by The Flying Dutchman in what was probably the most celebrated match race in the history of British thoroughbred racing His first win came at Beverley in 1831, on a horse called Cinderella, and in his early years, he was much championed by fellow jockey Sim Templeman, getting many rides on his recommendation. His first big win came much later, in the 1841 Goodwood Cup, riding Charles XII. Within another two years he had won his first classic - the 1843 St. Leger on Nutwith. In 1847, he rode Van Tromp for Lord Eglinton in the Derby, coming third. Later that year, he went on to take the St. Leger on the horse. Rather than securing his position in Eglinton's favour, it had the opposite effect. Now suspecting that Marson had pulled Van Tromp in the Derby, Eglinton sacked him. Even Charles Marlow, Marson's successor as Eglinton's stable jockey, believed Marson to be innocent. The setback did not mar Marson's career too much. Lord Zetland took him on, and it was for Zetland that Marson would ride one of the supreme champion horses of the 19th century, Voltigeur, who won both the Derby and the St. Leger in 1850. For Sir Joseph Hawley, Marson won the 1851 1,000 Guineas on Aphrodite and the Derby on Teddington, receiving £2,000 in reward. His last major win again came for Zetland in the 1856 Doncaster Cup on Fandango. We are grateful to David Oldrey for his assistance with the catalogue entry. The paint layer is stable with a few light scuffs and scratches. There are areas of quite broad, loose retouching in the dress and sitter's face. The varnish is starting to bloom with areas of opaque hazing in the bottom half. There are a few small chips and losses to the frame.
