Anne Hyde, Duchess of York; King James II

About the Item

After Sir Peter Lely 1618 - 1680 Anne Hyde, Duchess of York; King James II Pencil, ink and white chalk on paper, Image size: 10 x 8 inches (25.5 x 20.5 cm) Original frame This work, executed at the time of Sir Peter Lely shows the resounding influence he had on portraiture. His distinctive style and techniques continued to shape the work of his contemporaries. Lely’s portraits were characterised by their elegance, rich colour palette, as well as the way they captured the grandeur and status of his subjects. His approach set a high standard for court portraiture, inspiring subsequent artists to adopt and adapt his methods. The emphasis on capturing both the likeness and the personality of the sitter, combined with a sense of opulence and grace, became a hallmark of portraiture in the years following Lely’s career. As artists strived to achieve the same level of refinement and sophistication, Lely’s legacy continued to influence the development of portrait painting well into the 18th and 19th centuries. Sir Peter Lely Sir Peter Lely was a painter of Dutch origin who spent nearly all of his career in England, where he became the dominant portrait painter to the court. Born in Soest in 1618, Lely trained in Haarlem before travelling to London in 1634. He had painted the children of Charles I in 1647, whilst the king was in custody during the Civil War. After the return of Charles II and the restoration of the monarchy, Lely was appointed Principal Painter to the king and enjoyed a highly successful career at court, producing portraits of the leading figures of the day.

He points his left hand out to something in the distance, with a look of almost alarm. The artist Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (1609-64) did a series of oriental head studies. The exotic headgear that he wears and this type of oriental head studies, had its principal source was of course Rembrandt, who etched many similar heads during the 1630s. In the seventeenth-century Western European imagination, the turbaned figure represented the epitome of alterity: the Ottoman Turk. Ottoman costume...

Studies of a Woman Sitting, Red Chalk Drawing, Modern British Artist, Framed
By James Stroudley
Located in London, GB
Red chalk on paper Image size: 21 x 14 1/2 inches (54 x 37 cm) Gilt frame James Stroudley Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year. From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker, paid homage to Stroudley by including his work in the exhibition ‘Pupil & Masters’, held at Westgate House, Long Melford, Suffolk. Stroudley married three times, and his wives included the fashion artist to the Sun newspaper...
