    Attributed to John Hesselius (1728-1778), portrait of slator (slater) clay (1754-1821) of new castle, de and phi

    Est: $20,000 - $30,000

    Attributed to John Hesselius (1728-1778) portrait of slator (slater) clay (1754-1821) of new castle, de and phi ladelphia, pa, 1759 Pencil inscription to verso of re-lined canvas, likely transcribed from original, "Slater Clay 1759 age five years J.H.," oil on canvas, framed. 29 1/4 in. x 24 3/8 in. (sight) PROVENANCE: Descended in the family of the sitter to the present owner. A letter, written by William John Potts and dated July 10, 1879, notes that "a portrait in oil, about three quarter length of the Rev Slator Clay is in the possession of Mrs. Harriet (Clay) Leaf wife of the Rev Edmund Leaf Rector of the Church at Birdsboro PA. Mrs. Leaf is the dau. of Chas. Clay and grand daughter of the Rev. Slator Clay. The portrait is not of much merit as a work of art. It was taken at the age of five years in 1759? The young gentleman is represented with a cardinal bird in his hand a favorite style of the day. As this may be the work of an early American painter (...Hesselius?) it is of interest."
