Lot 1 - Attributed to George Gower (c.1540-1596) - Attributed to George Gower (c.1540-1596) Portrait of a lady, said to be Lady Arabella Stuart, daughter of Charles, 5th Earl of Lennox, half-length, in a richly embroidered and bejewelled dress with a white lace ruff oil on canvas 64 x 53cm, in an Italian carved giltwood frame Provenance: The Savile family, Rufford Abbey, Nottingham, their sale, Christie's, 18 November 1938, lot 153 (as by Zuccaro); Sotheby's, London, 'British Paintings, 1500-1850', 8 November 1995, lot 20. Exhibited: National Exhibition of Works of Art, Leeds, 1868. Condition Report: Overall: 92 x 80cm The painting is executed in oil on a linen canvas support which has been lined. The canvas is in plane and the tension is good. There are some minor areas of old damage which are visible in the surface texture of the background, mainly at the upper edge but there are no large areas of loss. The paint layer has slightly softened during the lining process, some areas of textured paint in the pattern of the dress have been affected. In the thin paint passages of the sitter's face and hair there is some wear and abrasion caused by a combination of age and possibly a previous cleaning campaign. The canvas weave is evident on the texture of these areas and show up as regular dark spots. The sitter's hair appears to be reinforced through overpaint. Under ultraviolet light, areas of retouching are present across the painting, but the overpaint is finely handled in small strokes, mainly covering wear and abrasion rather than reconstructing large losses. In the background the overpaint is slightly glossy compared to the surrounding, original paint layers, but overall the retouching is well matched to the original. The varnish is clear, even and semi-matte. The painting is in a good condition overall, it has suffered some wear and minor damage typical of a work of its age. It appears to have been recently restored; the overpaint is well matched and the overall appearance of the portrait is good.

Estim. 30 000 - 40 000 GBP

Lot 2 - Attributed to Sir William Segar (fl.1588-1633) - Attributed to Sir William Segar (fl.1588-1633) Portrait of Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, three-quarter-length, in a grey and white striped doublet with white ruff, and a black cape and black hat inscribed 'ANNO:1596:/AETAT:SUAE/:43:', oil on panel 112 x 77cm Provenance: Sotheby's London, 'British Paintings,1500-1850', 9 April 1997, lot 6. Condition Report: Overall: 132 x 98cm The painting is executed in oil on a panel support. The panel appears to be formed from four boards of varying width in a vertical orientation. The vertical panel joins have been reinforced from the reverse with wooden battens and the reverse of the panel has been smoothed down during this process. There is evidence of movement in the panel joins although they currently appear stable. The paint layers are stable overall but have suffered from loss and damage in the past which has been restored. There are localised areas of paint which have a raised craquelure pattern and the cracks have darkened with age - one notable area of this is visible in the sitter's face. The brush marks of the priming are visible in thinner paint passages including the face and cream doublet, possibly exacerbated through abrasion. The black areas of paint appear well preserved for a painting of this date, but in localised areas the surface texture shows there has been large losses in the sitter's cloak which have been filled and retouched. Other large areas of overpaint include the end of the sitter's left hand sleeve. There appear to be two campaigns of overpaint, one below the varnish layer and one below. On the sitter's face, overpaint can be seen to partially cover some of the dark age cracks. Some of the overpaint is slightly crude but the overall appearance of the painting is good from a normal viewing distance. The varnish layer is clear, semi-matte and even. There are a few scuffs to the varnish and abrasion caused by framing around the edges.

Estim. 15 000 - 20 000 GBP

Lot 3 - Attributed to Sir William Segar (fl.1588-1633) - Attributed to Sir William Segar (fl.1588-1633) Portrait of a lady, said to be Anne of Hardwick, half-length, in a black and grey bejewelled dress and a white lace ruff, holding a glove in her left hand and a flower in her right hand inscribed 'AETATIS SUAE 22/ANo 1588' u.r., oil on panel 90 x 73cm Provenance: Evans Collection, Sandbach, Cheshire; with Lane Fine Art, London; Sotheby's London, 'British Paintings,1500-1850', 9 April 1997, lot 11. Condition Report: Overall: 117 x 101cm The painting is executed in oil on a wooden panel support. The panel appears to be formed from three boards in vertical alignment. The panel has had a cradle attached to the reverse, probably during the 19th century. The vertical battens of the cradle are fixed and the horizonals should have some movment but are seized, indictating the panel is under some tension. Splits are forming along the top and bottom edges following the lines of the fixed vertical cradle members. The paint layers have suffered from extensive wear and abrasion. There is evidence that the painting has suffered from flaking in the past which has been stabilised but has left an even surface texture in some areas, most notably on the left hand board of the panel. Lines of raised paint are present along the splits in the panel and there is a loss at the lower right panel join. There is extensive overpaint across the painting with more than one campaign of restoration evident. Many areas of the painting have been heavily restored including the sitter's hair and the black details of the dress. The most recent campaign of restoration has a slightly milky appearance and no longer matches the original paint layers. However, some details of the composition are well preserved including the sitter's features, the lace ruff and the jewel attached to the sleeve. The varnish is clear but slightly uneven with some glossy patches and drip marks.

She started enlarging the house in the 1890s, and to that end, she purchased the contents of a palace in the Hague which was being demolished. There is no record of whether the portraits were acquired then or on another of her trips to Holland; thence by descent. Nicolas Maes, a Dutch Golden Age painter, is celebrated for his masterful portraits that capture the subtleties of human expression and character. A pupil of Rembrandt, Maes initially gained acclaim for his intimate domestic scenes, capturing everyday life with warmth and subtlety. In the 1660s, he began to devote himself to small-scale, detailed portraiture, marking a significant shift in his artistic focus. His portraits are distinguished by their intimate realism and attention to detail, often portraying middle-class individuals with a dignified, yet approachable air. Maes' work reflects a profound understanding of his sitters' personalities, blending technical prowess with psychological insight. His prolific output during the second half of the 17th century enriched Dutch portrait painting, and his works have continued to be admired since. Condition Report: Overall: 66 x 55cm Craquelure.
