A Man and his Wife
A Man And His Wife
£20.000
Possibly from North Italy but perhaps not by an Italian artist, this portrait is unusually intimate (it is rare for a man to be painted with his hand around his wife's neck). It was also slightly unusual for a woman to stand on her husband's right-hand si ...

A Man Blowing Smoke At
A Drunken Woman Print
£20.000
The woman has fallen asleep with a glass in one hand & a pipe in the other. The two men seem to mock her state, & the picture may be intended to illustrate the saying ' De Wijn is een spotter' (Wine is a Mocker). This picture was probably painted in the early 1660s. Steen often painted pictures on the theme of female drunkenness, see for example ' The Effects of Intemperance'. ...

A Man Embracing A
Woman Print
£20.000
The subject of this painting is unclear. It was acquired as ' Fiametta & Boccaccio' & was subsequently catalogued as 'A Muse inspiring a Court Poet'. Another possibility is that the male figure represents the clown, Il Gonnella, as the tondo (or circular picture) of which this is a fragment, was said to include a portrait of him. The original ceiling picture was probably commissioned by Alfonso d' Este for the Castello in Ferrara, north-east Italy. A 17th-century description makes it clear that it originally had five figures; one other figure survives as a fragment in Florence (Fondazione Roberto Longhi). ...

A Man Holding A Glass
And An Old Woman
Lighting A Pipe Print
£20.000
This work is not recorded prior to the mid-18th century. It has been suggested that the signature is not above suspicion, but there is no reason to doubt the attribution to Teniers. The handling of the paint is comparable to that in his ' Boors Carousing' in the Wallace Collection, London, which is dated 1644. This work may have been painted a little later. Tavern scenes of this sort, & more specifically the pose of the peasant raising his glass, may derive from the work of Adriaen Brouwer. ...

A Man Holding An
Armless Statuette
£20.000
The unknown sitter, who holds an antique statuette, is probably a collector or connoisseur. The portrait was probably painted by a Genoese artist in the first part of the 17th century. The artist has paid particular attention to the way the light falls on ...

A Man In 17th-Century
Spanish Costume Print
£20.000
This is a 19th century imitation by León of a 17th century painting. It is based on a life-size picture of a dwarf in the manner of Velázquez which is in the Prado, Madrid. Infra-red photographs have demonstrated that it was painted over a 17th- or 18th-century flower piece. The attribution depends on Charles Terry, who wrote in 1897 that he had been told by Ignacio de León that the painting was a pastiche León had painted after Velázquez & given to a dealer in London. ...

A Man In Armour
£20.000
This figure seems to derive from the soldier saint at the left of the ' Madonna & Saints' by Giorgione in the Duomo at Castelfranco (his home town). The painting, which is first certainly recorded in the early 19th century, was for a long time considered ...

A Man In Black
£20.000
The sitter has not been identified. In the past this work has been attributed to Antonello da Messina, Alvise Vivarini, Andrea da Murano (active 1462
- 1507), Marco Marziale & the style seems to derive from Giovanni Bellini.

A Man Holding A Glove Print

The subject of this portrait is unidentified, but he wears expensive clothes with different types of fur and velvet and two gold rings. His gloves also indicate high status. The portrait is unusually small and seems to have been speedily painted with immense skill. This may suggest neither artist nor sitter had very much time to spare. The back of the panel is branded with the letters CR surmounted by a crown, which signifies that the work belonged to King Charles I.
