SIR FRANCIS CHANTREY (1781-1841) A CARVED MARBLE BUST OF LORD CASTLEREAGH
Est: £10,000 - £15,000
SIR FRANCIS CHANTREY (1781-1841) A CARVED MARBLE BUST OF LORD CASTLEREAGH, SECOND MARQUESS OF LONDONDERRY DATED 1828 Signed and dated 'CHANTREY, SC. 1828. LORD CASTLEREAGH 1821.' to reverse, on a circular marble socle inscribed 'CASTLEREAGH' 75cm high Provenance: Charles, 7th Marquess of Londonderry (1878-1949). Sotheby's London, Londonderry House sale, 16 Nov 1962, lot 29 (£15 to Lidley). In 1820 The Anglo-Irish statesman, diplomat and politician Robert Stewart, 2nd Marquess of Londonderry commissioned Chantrey to make his bust for the price of 150 guineas. In March 1821 Harriet Arbuthnot, the social diarist and close friend of Castlereagh (her dearest and best friend), visited Chantrey's studio where she saw the unfinished work and wrote:it will be wonderfully like and has just the beautiful expression of his countenance when he speaks. Shortly after this the finished bust was exhibited at the Royal Academy (1132), the first exhibition of one of his portraits of prominent Tory politicians in the grand style. After Castlereagh's death in 1822, Chantrey went on to produce other versions of the portrait bust for friends and admirers of the late politician. In the Walpole Society analysis of the Chantrey ledgers, Alex Potts notes that ledger 208b records a version which was sent to Robert Peel in 1838 but which may well have been the example Chantrey executed earlier in 1828. It is further suggested that Peel's version could well be this lot which was formerly at Londonderry House. Further examples of this bust, some of which were probably studio copies, are now held in Haddo House, Stratfield Saye, the Yale Centre for British Art, the National Portrait Gallery and the Traveller's Club on Pall Mall. In 1828, George IV commissioned a version for his Grand Corridor at Windsor Castle (RCIN 35411 Chantrey Ledger 207a). For these subsequent versions it has been suggested that Chantrey and his studio worked from the plaster cast now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

LEGATT CHANTREY FRANCIS (1781 - 1841) Attributed to. Bust of a gentleman
Est: €5,000 - €7,000
LEGATT CHANTREY FRANCIS (1781 - 1841). Attributed to. Bust of a gentleman. For the present bust, depicting a gentleman wrapped in an antique-style cloak, it is possible to propose an attribution on a stylistic basis to Francis Legatt Chantrey (1781-1841), one of the leading English sculptors of the first half of the nineteenth century: after training as a carver and painter, Chantrey devoted himself to sculpture with great success, portraying many famous personalities of his time in marble, from the kings of England George IV and William IV, to the Duke of Wellington, up to many English nobles and exponents of the world of politics and sciences. This bust reveals in the treatment of the face and the drapery, as well as in the expressiveness of the portrayed character which almost allows us to grasp his psychological profile, some typical elements of Chantrey's production, to whose hand it is therefore attributed here. For a comparison, see the busts of Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough (National Gallery, London, inv.n°.NG2786), of William Murdoch (Handsworth Church, Birmingham) and William IV (National Trust, Benton House, Grantham , inv. n°. 436766) Comparative literature: A.

Circle of Sir Francis Legatt Chantrey, RA (1781-1841) a white marble bust of Sir Walter Scott, inscribed 'F Chantrey RA 1837' on the reverse h:55 cm Provenance: The collection of a private corporation Chantrey's bust of Walter Scott was considered to be the best contemporary likeness of the writer. A plaster cast was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1821, and the marble was completed in the following year. This remains at Abbotsford, and is the model for a number of plaster and marble copies. These latter, such as the present bust, were produced under Chantry's direction by assistants such as Henry Weekes. The present version can be distinguished by the quality of the carving and by, for example, the incision of the pupils and irises, which are blank in some versions, such as those in the later autograph repetition in the collection of the National Galleries.
