ATTRIBUTED TO FRANCIS BINDON (1690 -1765)Portrait of Marmaduke Coghill, 3/4 length seated wearing a full wig and ceremonial robes over a brown suit, his left hand resting on a table with a latter inscribed 'To The R. Hon Doctor Coghill Chancellour of Exchequer, Dublin 1735'Oil on canvas, 124 x 100cm Provenance: By Descent in the Coghill family until acquired by the present vendor This portrait was painted the year that Marmaduke Coghill was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. A firm adherent to the 'castle' administration he had 'inherited' from his father the position of Judge of the Prerogative Court and had enriched himself sufficiently to re-build Drumcondra House, probably using Edward Lovett Pearce. He had a penchant for commissioning outstanding pieces of silver from the Dublin silversmiths such as the extraordinary cistern in the Ulster Museum and the Monteith in Waterford. There is a monument to him by Peter Scheemakers in Drumcondra Church.Francis Bindon (1690 - 1765) is the most likely artist to have painted this portrait. He would have known Coghill and painted many in this circle. He is chiefly remembered today for his portraits of Jonathan Swift. His ambitious scale of portraiture and indeed architecture is always characterised by somewhat amateur weaknesses, compensated for by the serious self-importance of his subjects, as this example exemplifies.
