Provenance
Private collection, Switzerland
The present portrait, depicting a court lady of the English court, refers to the studio and a circle of the Flemish artist Paul van
Somer.
The lady in a black velvet dress embroidered with silver threads and decorated, in the fashion of the early XVII century, with decorative cuts on the sleeves and decorated with fan-shaped lace collar, which entered in the English courtly fashion in 40-s of
the 16 century and lasted until the 20s of the 17 century. There is also a necklace of gold rosettes, adorned with precious stones. In her hair we see plumes, gold rosette, similar to that of the dress, but smaller. Look completes a massive necklace of
pearl strands bonded ring with a large carved medallion. According to the dress, the portrait can be dated to the first third of the
XVII century, as in the 40s women's fashion has undergone a significant change.
Paul van Somer, also known as Paulus van Somer, was Flemish by birth,. He arrived in London during James I of England, and soon became one of the leading portraitists serving at the royal court. To his hand belong some portraits of the king and
courtiers.
Not much is know about the artist. Karel van Manler wrote that van Somer was the brother of Baren van Someren and
accompanied him in a trip in Italy and northern Europe. According to the RKD, between 1612-1614 years the artist lived in the
house of Stephen de Gein in Leiden. The year 1616 Somer spent in Brussels, and then moved to London. Somer was one of the favorite artists of king James and Queen Anne. The artist came in England being already a mature master, soon after his arrival in Britain and presentation at the court Somer had become a privileged artist of Her Majesty, replacing John de Critz and Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, successors of the Elizabethan potrait tradition. The art of van Somer was closer to an Antwerp painting
tradition than to the refined English portraiture of the early XVII century.

- Young fisher - Phlegmatism allegoryLocated in BELEYMAS, FRAttributed to Godfried SCHALKEN (Made 1643 – The Hague 1706) Young fischer Oil on panel in one board H. 32.5 cm; L. 25.5 cm Around 1670/75 Related works: - Autograph version with numerous variants, Berlin, Gemaldegalerie, Inv. N°837 - Copy or workshop version of our painting with slight variations but of inferior quality, Germany, sold at Berlinghof Auktionshaus in 2002 The object of this notice is not to produce a biography of Schalken, the reference work by Thierry Beherman published by Maeght in 1988. The goal here is to understand this version of a painting of formidable craftsmanship and to compare it to the work preserved in Berlin with its many variants in order to draw some hypotheses for conclusions Our young angler is a very interesting subject that can be found as early as the 16th century to invoke one of the four temperaments. Not melancholy as one might think at first glance, but phlegmatic character. The interpretation of astrological symbols closely linked peach and phlegm, laziness, slowness, often represented alongside the moon. Here the composition is very clear in this sense. The young man, chin resting on his arm, looks at his modest cane, the cork of which he soaks alongside snails and butterflies located in the Irises. All near a willow under a heavy sky, like a night sky. All the elements are there to give an explanation of the subject and not to leave the spectator in front of a simple genre scene. Let's go back to the willow, a tree that loses its fruits before they mature. It is often considered a symbol of lost youth, a reference to passivity or times of debauchery. Plato advised in his time to banish fishing from the education of children since it is an activity of expectation and not of exercise or reflection. Needless to explain the presence of small slow-moving animals with short lives or flowers… The image speaks for itself! Let's go back to the differences between the Berlin version and ours, of which it must be recognized that the quality is slightly lower and therefore can hardly be given with certainty to Schalken itself. This version has some additional elements compared to ours. In our version, the row of willows cut into trunks located to the left of the composition is replaced by a simple area of reeds that opens up to a luminous sky. The sky is also different by the clouds represented. A white butterfly flying in the middle of the Irises has been removed, as has a large leaf located on the back of the young fisherman at the foot of the willow. Only addition to our table in addition to the Berlin version: a second fish near the earthen pot...Category
