Daniel De ConingDaniel De CONING (1660-1727) Portrait of a Cotswold Gentleman 1726
1726
About the Item
A magnificent portrait of Henry Izod aged 67 in 1726, unsigned, but attributed verso to De Coning. Presented in a delightful frame probably the original. The name Izod seems to have it roots in the Cotswold area of England.
De Coning was a Dutch artist who was apprenticed in 1682 to his close relative Jacob working in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, his behaviour during his training fell short of what was expected when he sold paintings behind his master’s back. After two years he left leaving his mother to recompense Jacob, which she duly did by disinheriting Daniel. He turned up next in Oxford in 1690 and travelled the country working as an itinerant painter. This must be one of his last works as he disappeared off the radar in 1727.
His best recorded work is of Peter King 1st Baron of Ockham and is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.
Provenance:
Sold at auction in 1995.
The purchaser was most likely the renowned dealers Thomas Agnew (label verso). Restoration almost certainly took place at this time, see images. Agnew’s record books are available in the National Gallery archives for inspection.
A label verso indicates that the painting then belonged to a Mrs Drummond

Condition:
Probably restored in 1995 at the behest of Thomas Agnew. The canvas has been lined and an inscription transferred from the original canvas. In excellent sound condition. The frame has minor nibbles.

- Portrait of a Lady with a ChiqueadorLocated in New York, NYProvenance: Torres Family Collection, Asunción, Paraguay, ca. 1967-2017 While the genre of portraiture flourished in the New World, very few examples of early Spanish colonial portraits have survived to the present day. This remarkable painting is a rare example of female portraiture, depicting a member of the highest echelons of society in Cuzco during the last quarter of the 17th century. Its most distinctive feature is the false beauty mark (called a chiqueador) that the sitter wears on her left temple. Chiqueadores served both a cosmetic and medicinal function. In addition to beautifying their wearers, these silk or velvet pouches often contained medicinal herbs thought to cure headaches. This painting depicts an unidentified lady from the Creole elite in Cuzco. Her formal posture and black costume are both typical of the established conventions of period portraiture and in line with the severe fashion of the Spanish court under the reign of Charles II, which remained current until the 18th century. She is shown in three-quarter profile, her long braids tied with soft pink bows and decorated with quatrefoil flowers, likely made of silver. Her facial features are idealized and rendered with great subtly, particularly in the rosy cheeks. While this portrait lacks the conventional coat of arms or cartouche that identifies the sitter, her high status is made clear by the wealth of jewels and luxury materials present in the painting. She is placed in an interior, set off against the red velvet curtain tied in the middle with a knot on her right, and the table covered with gold-trimmed red velvet cloth at the left. The sitter wears a four-tier pearl necklace with a knot in the center with matching three-tiered pearl bracelets and a cross-shaped earing with three increasingly large pearls. She also has several gold and silver rings on both hands—one holds a pair of silver gloves with red lining and the other is posed on a golden metal box, possibly a jewelry box. The materials of her costume are also of the highest quality, particularly the white lace trim of her wide neckline and circular cuffs. The historical moment in which this painting was produced was particularly rich in commissions of this kind. Following his arrival in Cuzco from Spain in the early 1670’s, bishop Manuel de Mollinedo y Angulo actively promoted the emergence of a distinctive regional school of painting in the city. Additionally, with the increase of wealth and economic prosperity in the New World, portraits quickly became a way for the growing elite class to celebrate their place in society and to preserve their memory. Portraits like this one would have been prominently displayed in a family’s home, perhaps in a dynastic portrait gallery. We are grateful to Professor Luis Eduardo Wuffarden for his assistance cataloguing this painting on the basis of high-resolution images. He has written that “the sober palette of the canvas, the quality of the pigments, the degree of aging, and the craquelure pattern on the painting layer confirm it to be an authentic and representative work of the Cuzco school of painting...Category
