INTRODUCTION
COLLECTIVE list, with a detailed description of such portraits
as remain in the country houses of England, has been a want
long felt and hitherto but partially and imperfectly supplied.
As long ago as 1797 Sir William Musgrave exercised his
best endeavours in this direction. Residing in London, he
received from his many friends lists of portraits in the country
houses they might chance to visit. These he catalogued and indexed; they form
a large portion of the series, Add. MSS. British Museum, 5726-6391, and there
can be little doubt but that the result of Sir William Musgrave's labours should
be looked upon as not only what it really was, the beginning, but the foundation
of all works dealing with country house portraiture,
The late director of the National Portrait Gallery, Sir George Scharf, K.C B
made another attempt, at a recent date, to induce the owners thereof to register
or record at the aforenamed institution all the portraits they might possess-
however, it is believed that no great amount of success attended his efforts to
secure so valuable a contribution.
In this twentieth century, what with railways and motor cars, it is an easy
matter for anyone to get about from house to house, and thus, without trusting
knowledge and capabilities of other people, see for themselves and record
xactly what does remain. This present volume is therefore the result of such a
survey and an attempt on the part of the compiler to record to the best of his
ability what he has seen.
As far as possible every portrait known to exist, whether in the larger
ions and farmhouses of the county or in the towns is here described, the
name of the artist given when it is known, and a short genealogical account of the
subject appended.

such general details connected with portraits throughout three centuries.
M describing the position of the head and figure, it has been customary in al
portrait literature^ state whether such be turned towards the right or left of
spectator. This custom, laudable as it may seem, has not been earned out m the
prnt work lest a confusion should be created in the mind of the compiler he
being accustomed to regard things from an heraldic point of V1ew in which
dexter and sinister are exactly opposed to these customary terms ***•*
left Every picture, therefore, has been considered, as it were, a shield which
has a dexter and a sinister side, and these terms, being well known m their
signification, there can remain little doubt in the mind of any reader as to what
meant when a head, or a figure, is said to be turned towards either the dexter or
the sinister side. Moreover, there will thus be no confusion in the comparison <
any picture described in this work with that of the same or a similar picture
another book in which the customary terms are used.
The description of each portrait follows a definite line, and that portion c
figure which has been portrayed by the artist is the first thing to be taken into
consideration in any description of the picture which may be given.
Four divisions are herein used, and they are customary designations c
times quoted in the description of engraved portraits.
F.L. A full-length figure.
T.Q.L. A three-quarter length figure; that is, a figure represented to below

hands are apparent.

bust, which is an erroneous expression, because sometimes the lower portion of
the arm is not wanting as it is in a bust.
After this follows the aforementioned description of the position of the head
and figure, with any additional detail connected therewith; then the costume,
concluding with any further particulars concerning the portrait which might help
to distinguish it from any other one of a similar kind.
It is necessary now to make a few observations on the principles which have
guided the compiler in venturing to assign names and dates to hitherto unnamed,
and possibly inaccurately dated, portraits.
Costume has been the chief factor in attaining this desirable result, though it
must be confessed that artistic manipulation, or as it has been generally called
"technique," has always to be taken into account.
Male costume will be dealt with first, and one of the most important things
to be considered in the costume of men, is the treatment of the hair, or the size
and shape of the wig.
Beginning then with the moderately short hair which was the fashion through-
out the reign of Elizabeth, and the earlier years of James I, the long hair which
was in vogue throughout the reign of Charles I and the Commonwealth, we reach
the very long and curly wigs, brought back from France by Charles II after the
restoration; always of a natural colour, whether dark or fair, till the closing years
of the seventeenth century, and after that slightly tinted with powder, and very high
on either side of the parting on the top of the head; then the passing over the
shoulders those long ends of the wig, which, until that time, hung down on either side
in front. This evolution took place just when the seventeenth century was passing
into the eighteenth. Soon after that we find the aforesaid ends tied into knots;
they are then cut off altogether to a length just below the shoulder, when, as a
rule, the tint of the powder increases till it has attained a perfect white. After this
we have what I may call (it is an expressive term) full-backed wigs, more usually
than not worn by divines, whilst laymen dressed the back portion in the form of a
pigtail, tied with a queue, with either three or two or but one roll of the hair at
the side of the head; then follows the passing away of the wig altogether, and the
adoption once again of man's own short and natural hair.
Armour and clothes also require a good deal of consideration, even though,
as has been stated in a work of repute, " Lely and Kneller clothed their sitters in
onventional fancy dress, which was frequently painted on the canvas before the
arrival of the sitter, so that he or she might choose a becoming costume ready
XVI 11
Introduction
made"; nevertheless that conventional costume or fancy dress can be so easily
distinguished and dated, that the same becomes a help rather than a hindrance to
the identification of portraits painted by those well-known artists, or by the
pupils in their schools.
With respect to armour, so much has been written that the gradual process
or evolution concerning the same is not a difficult matter to decide, in that the
production of portraits did not commence till armour was passing from its higher
degree of perfection through the successive degrees of decadence, till it should
disappear, as a matter of necessity, altogether.
We must, in male costume, commence with the doublet, a descriptive name,
than which we need no other, for the coat worn throughout a long number of
years; it changed little with the times, whether puffed, padded, slashed, or
embroidered, it is the doublet all the same, and remained in vogue till the Puritans
robbed it of all its grace, and left it without lace or embroidery, as ugly a garment
as one could possibly find.
Passing over that period, hereinbefore mentioned when Lely and Kneller are
supposed to have supplied the costumes, we reach the square-cut coats, with
ample skirts, the napped waistcoats and the knee-breeches, which were the fore-
runners of that exquisitely gorgeous dress worn by gentlemen in the reign of
George II, which, however, was so soon to pass into the double-breasted coat, with
the high velvet collar, and then the swallow-tail coat of the latter years of the
eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries.
Another very important point in the consideration of costume, and one on
which a good deal of stress has been laid by the compiler in the description of
each picture, is the kind of scarf, collar, or throat covering, worn by the sitter. It
may be said in style and fashion to commence with the small puckered muslin
collar in vogue about the middle of the sixteenth century, which soon after
developed into the ruff, and then again declined to the ruff collar, sometimes
described as the falling ruff, this in its turn expanding into that very large collar
in use during the latter years of James I and the earlier portion of the reign of
Charles I, more often than not tied beneath the chin, and from the strings of
which were suspended very ornamental tassels. This latter very ornate shoulder-
covering gave place to the linen collar of Puritanism. After the Restoration there
is a change, brought doubtless with the wig by Charles II from France. It is the
adoption once more of lace in the ornamentation of the scarf or throat covering, at
first two wide pieces of lace, joined down the middle, are visible in front under
Introduction xix
the chin, then these ends are formed into the shape of a fan ; after which the lace
is used simply on the ends of the scarf, only to disappear once more, and leave a
simple cravat with the ends crossed over, and hanging down. After this no more
cravat, only the full shirt, with tight band round the throat, together with a simple
frill in front, succeeded by the white collar and the ordinary stock so well known.
All this was certainly a gradual evolution, and it would be impossible to state
exactly the date when the fashion changed, but if the wearing of the hair or the
shape of the wig be taken into consideration, with other details of the costume,
there is no doubt but that one can give authoritatively an approximate date to a
portrait, which shall be within a few years of the exact period when the picture
was painted.
In the costume of the lady there is not quite so much scope for identifying
the approximate year when a portrait was painted, because the wig is wanting;
however, here a certain amount of evolution can be noticed, and it has been
recorded in the various descriptions of the ladies portrayed.
Elizabethan costume is not difficult to distinguish from any other period ; for
there is always the ruff, and the lady is more often than not very gorgeously
attired, so much so that in many cases portraits of this date hanging in country
houses have been erroneously said to represent the virgin Queen.
In the latter years of James I, and in the earlier years of Charles I, we find
the same large collar as worn by the gentlemen of the period, only very often it is
composed entirely of lace. Examples of this costume may be seen illustrated in
the book, as the work of Cornelis Janssens, about 1625.
Not till about the middle of the seventeenth century does any very great
difficulty arise in deciding the date of the female costume, and this may be owing
to the introduction of the so-called " fancy dress and conventional costume" of
Lely and Kneller; any how a peculiar mode of dressing the hair started by
Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I, seems to have remained in fashion till after
the restoration, nor was there much alteration till the ladies of the Court of
Charles II about 1670 adopted a style which may always be seen in the portraits
of the King's favourite, Nell Gwyn. During all these years the bodice of the
dress, which was tight to the figure, was cut very low, and very round.
About 1690 commences a period, extending over a long time, when the hair
is again dressed close to the head, only high on the top with long curls apparent
on one or both sides, the ends thereof resting on the shoulder; with this we have
the appearance of the chemisette, sometimes only in the form of a tucker, with a
xx Introduction
loose bodice passing over the shoulders, and forming in front, where it is open a
shape like a letter V; the sleeves are loose, extend to the elbow, and have similar
white ones, equally loose below. Of this period Kneller and his school, succeeded
by Michael Dahl are the chief representatives, and without some little knowledge
of their artistic manipulation, it would be most difficult accurately
portraits of those years.
About 1740, with the hair and sleeves remaining as before described, we
a tight, long, and sometimes pointed bodice to the ladies' dress with very full
skirts. ' Of this period Hudson, Highmore, and Heins are the chief exponents in
East Anglia; very many of their pictures are dated, thus substantiating this
decided alteration in the costume.
From thence onwards there is little more concerning ladies' dress which need
be specified. About 1770 we have the advent of that great artistic school, repre-
sented by Reynolds, Gainsborough, Romney, and other artists almost as good,
which marks a period so well known, and so much written about, that no comments
are needed here. West Suffolk is fortunate enough to have examples of all the
artists of this school; some of which are illustrated in the book.
The closing years of the eighteenth century brought in a fashion so utterly
and entirely different from any in vogue before, a word or two on the matter will
not be out of place. It is the introduction of that exquisitely simple short-waisted
bodice, with full sleeves and straight skirt, the hair being dressed, in its natural
state, on the very top of the head. Portraits of this period by Hoppner, and other
artists not so well known, are recorded in the list. This style brought to a
conclusion all the grace and beauty of female attire; since then, until quite
recent years, a lady could not be portrayed in a costume, unless " fancy and con-
ventional," which would give the artist a chance of producing a picture fit to
be seen.
It is considered advisable, and by some people absolutely necessary, for any
list of portraits to be complete, that it must be accompanied by a statement of the
exact size of the panel or canvas on which the picture is painted. To do this for
every one of the hundreds of portraits hanging in Suffolk houses is a task which
the compiler of this work would not care to undertake, even if in every case it
were allowed to be done; indeed, of many it would be impossible, suspended as
they are far beyond the reach of steps or ladders; and unless the size given is
absolutely accurate, it fails in its intention of being an unerring guide to the
identity of any picture which has strayed from its original home.
Introduction xxi
Five standards have been adopted :
V.L. Pictures of a very large size, as a rule full-length portraits and gallery
pictures, approximately 84 by 42 inches.
L. Pictures of a large size, as a rule three-quarter length figures, though some
of them are oblong in shape, approximately 50 by 38 inches.
M. Pictures of medium size, usually half-length figures, or those represented
only by the head and shoulders — oftentimes called the bust — approximately
28 by 24 inches.
S. Small pictures, approximately 16 by 10 inches, and of any size between
this and miniatures.
Min. All miniatures of whatsoever size and shape, such, however, being
oval, unless otherwise described.
One other term used throughout the book needs a little explanation. It is
that of "false frame," this being the oval framework round the portrait or the
canvas, sometimes only a line, sometimes quite plain, and sometimes composed of
shell-work, fruit, and flowers. This was much used by artists during the seven-
teenth and eighteenth centuries
We have now reached one of the most important matters connected with this
or any similar work. It is that of the indexes; for surely to know or believe that
anything is recorded in a book and not to be able to find it is one of the most
aggravating of experiences known to lovers of research. The compiler has
endeavoured to obviate this by producing indexes in which any house, owner,
portrait, or artist ought to be immediately discovered.
In the Index of Portraits the name of each sitter portrayed is given under
any and every appellation by which such a person could be known: if a lady,
under the maiden as well as the married name; if the holder of a title, under that
heading as well as under the heading of the family to which he or she must
belong.
In the Index of Artists dates are appended which are intended merely as a
guide to the period when the artists lived or worked. If but one portrait by any
artist is recorded, and on that portrait there should chance to be a date, that is
the date printed in the index; should there not be a date on the picture, an
approximate one is given, preceded by "c. " for "circa." When the artists are
well known, and their work extended over a long period, then the dates in the
index are those given either in Bryan's " Dictionary of Painters " or " The
Dictionary of National Biography," as the dates of birth and death of the artist
•
xxjj Introduction
registered. In many cases, where but little of the artist's biography is known, and
there are several productions, then the dates given in the index cover the period
during which the portraits were painted. It is hoped that this addition may prove
a help, and not a hindrance, to anyone consulting the same. One thing can hardly
fail to escape attention-it is the fact that many names of artists are recorded
here for the first time, some of them painted locally, and their work is not only
interesting but of considerable merit.
Four or five of these artists deserve special notice. Joseph Brook, or Brooks,
living at Bury St. Edmunds, painted some time during the closing years of the
seventeenth century, and for the first quarter of the eighteenth century. Not one
of his pictures is elated, nor are any absolutely signed; specimens of his work,
however, are fairly numerous in this western division of the county, and the same
are of very unequal merit.
A picture dated 1694 is signed " P. A. Dinant," and it is very characteristic
of many portraits of the same school of painting throughout East Anglia.
A hitherto absolutely unknown artist has come to light in the person of
William Johnson, whose portrait, painted by himself, is in the possession of the
compiler, and illustrated in this volume. His pictures show great talent, but as he
apparently lived in East Suffolk, and for the most part worked there, further
details concerning his productions will be reserved for a future volume dealing
only with that portion of the county. Three pictures recorded in this list are
either signed by, or ascribed to, " G. K. Ralph," who seems to have lived in, or
somewhere around, Bury St. Edmunds during the last quarter of the eighteenth
century. Two pictures by him are illustrated to face page 308.
There is yet one more name which may be singled out, the name of Walton,
concerning which somewhat may be here recorded. One of that name, Henry
Walton, mentioned in Bryan's "Dictionary of Painters," was born about 1720,
and died about 1 790 ; save that he exhibited at the Society of Artists and the
Royal Academy, little is known concerning him. A few examples of portraits
by him are hanging in Suffolk houses, and they are exactly similar in style to
that of Gibbon, the historian, in the National Portrait Gallery. It is more than
probable, and later on the fact may be proved, that Henry Walton lived and
painted at Burgate, a little village in Suffolk, not far from Diss.
Another one of the same name, who signs his pictures " Walton, Burgate,"
certainly lived and worked in a farmhouse adjoining the main road about 1810,
and it is to this man, I think, must be attributed the portrait of Lord Lansdowne,
Introduction xxiii
said to have been painted by Henry Walton in 1806, hanging also in the National
Portrait Gallery. Yet one more of the name is known in Suffolk, but whether a
relation or not is undetermined, John Whitehead Walton, who in 1840 exhibited in
London, painted several portraits of the well-known families around Bury St.
Edmunds, and a few in other parts of the county.
At the end of the volume certain collections of pictures have been recorded
and described which are not at the present time in West Suffolk, and for this a
reason must be assigned. The fact is that all the details concerning the same were
collected, many of the portraits also photographed and engraved, when the scheme
was to include, in one volume, everything of the kind in any way connected with
the western side of the county, whether in their original homes or not. This was
not found to be possible, therefore the scope and design of the work was much
altered and enlarged; however, it was not thought advisable, or appreciative of the
kindness of those who helped to originate the scheme, to leave out of this volume
the beautiful illustrations so liberally provided by the owners, or matter which
after all is very intimately associated with the history of this portion of the county.
In conclusion, grateful thanks must be tendered not only to the owners of the
portraits, who have one and all been unfailing in their endeavours to co-operate
with the compiler in producing this volume, and who have rendered the task to
him an easy and agreeable one; but to those also who have supplied the accom-
panying illustrations, without which the book would be dull indeed.
The compiler can only hope that in this volume some facts concerning the
portraits in the houses of Suffolk, have been rescued from oblivion, and that
others may be tempted to undertake a similar survey elsewhere.

are clad in armour, the front one completely so; the others have buff jerkins
below, (i) On a bay horse, wearing the ribbon of the Garter; (2) on a gray
horse; (3) on a brown horse; (4) on a gray horse; (5) on a black horse; while
the last is quite in the background of the picture. On the dexter side is a battle
scene, that of Malplaquet, and in the foreground lies a glove, concerning
which, it is recorded, as being on the spot which General Cadogan had chosen
as the place from which to attack the French. Below is written: " Duke of
Marlborough. Lt. -General Cadogan, Quarter Master General. Col. John
Armstrong, Quarter Master General to Prince Eugene's Army. Col. Thos.
Lascelles, Deputy Quarter Master General to the Duke of Marlborough's
Culford Hall 87
Army. Brigadier Hopkey, Col. of the Artillery. Col. Watson, Lt.-Col. of
the Artillery."
N.B. — The story of the dropping of the glove is recorded by many
writers. General Cadogan, having been sent the day previous to know what
Marshal Villars had to offer, he improved the opportunity so effectually, by
viewing the French intrenchments, that he dropped his glove at the spot
where, in the dead of night, he directed the Colonel of Artillery, who was with
him, to place the guns. He thus contributed greatly to the forcing of the
French lines.

a cross-over cravat, the left hand forward, a helmet and baton on a table at the
dexter side of the picture. On it, below: "G Kneller fecit 1688." L.
N.B. — This portrait is unnamed; but from the date on it, and the age of
the man portrayed, it may possibly represent that Churchill from whom the
owner is directly descended.
Charles Churchill, third surviving son of Sir Winston Churchill, and
brother of John, Duke of Marlborough. Born 2nd February, 1656. At the
battle of Blenheim he ably assisted his elder brother. He married, in 1702,
Mary, daughter and sole heir of James Gould, of Dorchester. During his
brother's absence he commanded in the Netherlands, and in 1706 he was
Governor of Guernsey. He died without legitimate issue on 2gth December,

Dress: red coat, with white undergarment and sleeves, a brown robe passes

rests on the head of a greyhound; a little spaniel sits at the sinister lower
corner of the picture. Scenery behind. L. Signed: "John Vander . . .
[? John Vanderbank] fecit."
N.B. — This portrait is unnamed; but from the remarkable likeness to
88 Culford Hall
members of the Churchill family, and from the approximate date of the
painting, it probably represents Charles Churchill.
Charles, natural son of General Charles Churchill [who was a natural son
of General Charles Churchill (see No. 29), M.P. for Castle Rising and Governor
of Plymouth], by Nance Oldfield; born 1720; married to Lady Anna Maria,
legitimized daughter of Sir Robert Walpole, ist Earl of Orford, by Maria,

daughter of Sir Robert Walpole. Earl of Orford. by Maria Skerret his 2d
wife, by Zink. 1744. H. W." Probably by Christian Frederick Zincke. See
No. 32.
N.B. — No issue is given in Burke's Extinct Peerage to this second
marriage of Sir Robert Walpole; but in ancient peerages is this: "Sir Robert
Walpole married, in 1737, Maria, daughter and sole heir of Thomas Skerret,
who died in 1738; he had a daughter from her before marriage, Maria, his
Majesty's housekeeper at Windsor, and wife of Charles Churchill. She was
legitimated, and given the rank of an Earl's daughter."

and earrings. M. £.1750. Aged about twenty-five. By Thomas Hudson.
See No. 31.
N.B. — This picture has been reckoned amongst the unknown ones; but
on comparing the miniature (No. 31) with it, there can, I think, be little
doubt of its identity. It was painted about the same period of her life.

N.B. — This picture, and thus named, was bequeathed to the Duke of
Grafton by John Symonds, LL.D., of St. Edmund's Hill, Bury St. Edmunds.
It represents, I think, either Sir John Poley, Knt., of Wrongey, or Sir William
Poley, of Boxted. The former married Abigail Wix, and died 1638, aged
eighty, and the latter died 5th August, 1629, aged seventy-seven. Sir John
Poley, Knt, of Boxted, was born in 1603, and was therefore only twenty-four
when this picture was painted, whereas the person portrayed is at least seventy
years of age.

It is called by the family " Mr. Cartwright."

4. WILLIAM WOODLEY FREDERICK CERJAT. F.L. Little boy,

hair, moustache and pointed beard. Dress: red and white stripes, a very
large collar with deep lace round the neck, as also the blue ribbon of the
Garter, the George not being visible. S.
Charles I, King of Great Britain and Ireland; born 1600; executed 1649.
See D. N. B., x, 67.
6. GEORGE I. F.L. With a long brown curly wig. Dress: in regal robes;
hand on orb, crown and sceptre on table. L.
George I, King of Great Britain and Ireland; born 1660. Died 1727.

red sash round the waist, white cravat tied in bow; baton in right hand, left
rests on hilt of sword. Brown background to the figure ; curtain on the dexter
side. Camp scene on the sinister. L. c. 1670-1680. Aged between thirty
and forty.
This picture is named by the family "John Hutchinson, the regicide.
Born 1615. Died 1664." See D. N. B., xxviii, 339.
N.B. — It is a little too late for the regicide, and may represent Colonel
Richard Norton, the first of the family of Southwick, Hants, who held property
here, and was High Sheriff for Suffolk 1708. He died loth December, 1708,
aged sixty-six, and was buried at Ixworth. This family was connected
with that of the Hutchinsons later on. The originals of the portraits of
Colonel Hutchinson and his wife by Van Dyck were carried off to America,
and said to have been lost at sea ; of these I have seen tracings, and there is
no resemblance to the Ixworth portraits.
8. MRS. JOHN HUTCHINSON? T.Q.L. Seated, body turned slightly to
the dexter, full face, brown hair in curls on both sides resting on shoulders,
236 I x worth Abbey

looped up with enormous pearls, and is cut low and round, very full white
sleeves looped up with jewels, a blue robe, cast off, left hand in lap holding a
white flower. L. c. 1670-1680.
This picture is called by the family " Lucy, daughter of Sir Allen
Apsley, wife of John Hutchinson, the regicide. Born 1620." See D. N. B.,
xxviii, 340.
N.B. — I think this portrait is a little too late, and the dress rather too
gorgeous for such a puritanical lady as Lucy Huchinson. It must be the wife
of No. 7, and if so, may be Elizabeth, the daughter of James Butler, of
Amberley Castle, Sussex, wife of Richard Norton, who died at Ixworth, and
was buried there ist May, 1708, aged forty-eight.
9. COLONEL RICHARD NORTON. T.Q.L. Body and face both full,
white wig to below the shoulders, and tied in a knot. Dress: a jerkin, with
body armour over it, and over that a red coat trimmed with gold braid, very
large turned back cuffs to the coat, white stock, and also shirt, visible at the

Compton Felton of Playford, Bart.) He married Isabella Hutchinson, of
Westminster, daughter of Julius Hutchinson, by his wife, Betty, daughter of
Richard Norton and Elizabeth Butler. He was M.P. for Bury (see " Gentle-

LIVERMERE PARK
The Property of Lord de Saumarez, 1905
In dealing with the collections of pictures belonging to Lord and Lady de Saumarez
at Shrubland, Livermere, Broke Hall, and of 43, Grosvenor Place, London, I
have tried to separate those which belong to the western side of Suffolk from
those which belong to the eastern, recording only the former here, and all that are
recorded are believed to have been at one time on the walls of Livermere. From
the will of John Turner, of Langham Hall, Bury St. Edmunds, and Livermere,
we learn that he bequeathed everything to Baptist Lee, who was residing here
about 1740, for he purchased the property in 1722, and died in 1768. The
mother of John Turner was " Lady " Isabella, natural daughter of Baptist May.
Therefore a great many of the pictures here, named and unnamed, were once
probably in the possession of that notorious courtier of the reign of Charles II.

married Mary, daughter of Charles I and Henrietta Maria. He died in 1650.
N.B. — This picture is called in the House catalogue " Prince of Orange,"
and probably came from Henrietta Maria to the Earl of St. Albans. The
costume is rather early for William, Prince of Orange, but the picture may
have been painted in Holland, where the style of dress was prevalent for a
longer period than in England.
55. LOUISA, MRS. EYRE; AUGUSTA, MRS. DUFFIELD; FANNY,
MRS. EDEN. Three figures, T.Q.L. Full faces, with curls. Dresses:

neath, also embroidered with gold, and a rich red sash around him ; red breeches,

ground; the left hand is at the side. S. c. 1640.
57. MAN. H. and S. Face full, body turned to dexter, slight moustache, long
brown hair. Dress: in armour, very rich, red scarf over shoulders, with white
linen collar. M. c. 1650.
This is in a similar frame to Nos. 58-62. The face is rather like many of
the Stuart family. There is also a resemblance to the portrait of William II
of Orange, as a boy. By Sir Anthony Van Dyck, at The Hermitage, St. Peters-
burgh. See Gowan's Art Books, " Vandyck."
58. LADY. H. and S. Body full, face turned slightly to sinister, brown ringlets
on either side of the face. Dress: black, cut low, with white stomacher,
RR
306 Rushbrooke Park
studded with diamonds and pearls; a dead gold scarf over left shoulder, fastened
with jewels, pearl pear-shaped earrings and single pearl necklace. S. On
panel; behind it: " S. 374."
N.B. — This portrait and five others in exactly similar frames represent six
ladies (Nos. 59-62, and No. 7), painted soon after the Restoration (1660). One
of them is named Anne, Countess of Middlesex. See No. 7. It is probable
that the six ladies were friends of Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I, and
therefore of the Earl of St. Albans. It is suggested (and with very good
reason for the suggestion) in " Rushbrooke Registers," that " these must be
the portraits seen by Tom Martin in 1749 when he set down ' Bab May and
six Beauties hanging round him."1 S. H. A. H. adds: " Mr. Lionel Cust tells
me they are probably by Theodore Russel after Vandyke." There is a
gentleman (see No. 57) in a similar frame, but he is certainly not " Bab
May."
59. LADY. H. and S. Full face, brown ringlets. Dress: red, cut low and round,
slashed, and trimmed with jewels on Indian gauze, and gold scarf is over
right shoulder; pearl earrings and necklace. S. On panel; behind it:
" S.375-"
60. LADY. H. and S. Face turned slightly to the sinister, fair ringlets. Dress:
pink, cut over shoulders and open, two pearls to each earring, pearl necklace,
with other pearl and diamond ornaments. S. On panel; behind it : "S. 376."
61. LADY. H. and S. Full face, fair ringlets. Dress: puce colour, cut low,
satin scarf over left shoulder, earrings of fine pear-shaped pearls. S. On
panel; behind it: " S. 378."
62. LADY. H. and S. Face and body both turned slightly to the sinister, dark
ringlets. Dress: white bodice, cut low and round, trimmed with jewels;
Indian scarf over right shoulder, pearl earrings and necklace. S. On panel;
behind it: " S. 476."
63. LADY. H. and S. Full face, hair dressed high. Dress: yellow, white
tucker, blue robes. S. Aged about twenty.
This and six other portraits (Nos. 64-69) may be all dated from 1690 to
1710, and probably represent the children of Sir Robert Davers, 2nd Bart.,
and his wife, Mary, daughter of Thomas, Lord Jermyn. The frames are black,
and uniform in style.

c. 1784. Aged about forty.
This has been supposed to represent Elizabeth, Countess of Bristol (see
No. 24). Such is hardly possible. It is not the right date, and there is no
resemblance.
72. LADY. H.L. Body and face turned slightly to the sinister, fair hair.
Dress: yellow muslin, edged with gold. M. c. 1790.

the bottom right-hand corner of it, may still be read, if placed in the proper
light : " SR Godfrey . Kneller B* . painted by himself . . . speak . his merits . to
those who understand them. . . ." The last line is entirely gone, the very
paint of the picture being worn away. It is a very interesting unfinished

painted in 1730, that there can be little doubt of the identity of this picture.
