About the Item
This large early 18th-century full-length portrait depicts a seated young lady before a classical column and distant country house. It was formerly in the collection of Dalham Hall in Suffolk.
Wrapped in a fine pale blue cloak with a yellow bodice and gathered sleeves, she represents the height of fashion despite her tender years. The classically-inspired setting conveys a sense of grandeur and the permanency of the aristocracy. The inclusion of an obedient spaniel is an interesting one and could be a light-hearted reference to the willingness of a future spouse.
Dalham Hall is a Queen Anne style country house, dating to 1705, near Newmarket in Suffolk. During the early 18th century, it was home to the Affleck family (1714-1901), and this is likely to be a portrait of one of Sir Gilbert Affleck’s (c.1684-1764) daughters. These included Anne (1706-1793), Elizabeth (1713-1748), Catherine (1718-1760), Mary (1723-1773), and Charlotte (1724-1820). The outfit dates to circa 1725, so Catherine appears to be the most likely candidate. It’s conceivable that the portrait remained at Dalham until 1901 when Sir Robert Affleck (1852-1919) sold the hall after being defrauded by his solicitor.
Stylistically, it’s somewhat comparable with the oeuvre of Dutch artist John Verelst (c.1670-1734) of the Verelst family of painters.
Held in a splendid period gilt frame, which is probably original.
