(London 1610–1646) Portrait of a young man in a red mantle, oil on canvas, 56 x 41 cm, framed Provenance: Private collection, United Kingdom; where bought by the present owner We are grateful to Duncan Thompson for suggesting the attribution to William Dobson on the basis of high-resolution photographs. The present portrait of a youth in a scarlet mantle, with its refined handling and sense of intimacy, is characteristic of the accomplished hand of William Dobson, one of the pioneering masters of 17th century English School of portraiture. The flowing locks of the sitter, and the delicate lacework of his collar indicates both the young man’s status, most likely a member of the nobility, as well as the political persuasions of his family. In the 1630s and 40s, England was roughly divided between on one side, the Puritan constituency in parliament, which was known for its austere style, and on the other, the supporters of King Charles I, identified by the flamboyant style of his cosmopolitan court, centred around his French Queen, Henrietta Maria, and court painter, Sir Anthony van Dyck. The influence of the great Antwerp master, van Dyck, may be seen in in the present work, in the free execution of the drapery. A possible connection between the Flemish master and the present artist can be found in the probably apocryphal story recounting how William Dobson was ‘discovered’ by van Dyck when he saw one of Dobson’s paintings in a shop window. Dobson initially trained with the Jacobean portraitist Robert Peake, before joining the studio of Francis Cleyn, a painter and tapestry designer originally from the Hanseatic port of Rostock. Following van Dyck’s death in 1641, Dobson was able to fulfill the demand for works in the late master’s style. At the outbreak of the English Civil War, Dobson followed the King from Whitehall to his court-in-exile in Oxford. The present picture has an apparent connection to the city, with an Ashmolean Museum provenance (indicated by a partially damaged label on the reverse), which may suggest some historic connection between the sitter and the Royalist court there.

Est: £8,000 - £12,000
William Dobson 1611-1646 portrait of an officer half length, wearing armour oil on canvas, in a carved wood frame 60.5 by 49.5 cm., 23 3/4 by 19 1/2 in. This fine work is an example of the strongly characterised portraits of Royalist Officers which Dobson produced in Oxford whilst the King's Court was there between 1642 and 1646. As Malcolm Rogers has pointed out, the majority of Dobson's sitters were fighting for the King and had limited opportunity between campaigns to come to the artist's studio, so he evolved a particular form of presentation suited both to their forthright character and to the limited time available. The portrait was identified in an early nineteenth century engraving as being of Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex (1591-1646), the celebrated parliamentary general, but it does not compare with other images of him and Dobson painted only Royalist sitters. The portrait seems to have passed from the Duke of Sutherland at Lilleshall, Shropshire, to his neighbour, Sir John Hanmer, and when it was sold from Bettisfield Park it appeared with several other Sutherland portraits. Provenance: George Granville Leveson-Gower, Marquess of Stafford and Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833); By descent to Cromartie, 4th Duke of Sutherland (recorded as at Lilleshall in 1909); The Hanmer family, Bettisfield Park, Flintshire; J.
