About the Item

Half Length Portrait of Mr. Robertson Sir. Henry Raeburn ( Scottish 1756 - 1823 ) Half Length Portrait of Mr. Robertson 29x 24 Purchased, J Leger & Son, 13 Old Bond Street, London, July 1947 Collection of Alexander Reid Lyon and Turnbull, Edinburgh, Scotland, Jordanstone House Sale Illustrated in J L Caw, "The Portraits of Reaburn” 1909 Mentioned in James Greig's Raeburn, 1911 Condition is very good. Cleaned and relined. Provenance is perfect. Purchased from Lyon and Turnbull in 2004 paid $37,000 with shipping This work looks stunningly elegant in person with a beautiful period girl frame. I am including a few screenshots. One screenshot is of a painting that is somewhat like Mr. Robertson but it's hanging in the Frick Collection in New York. It's a portrait of a male sitting in a double-breasted black coat looking at the viewer and has the same top lighting and greenish-gray background. Art History thrives on comparisons.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Original Oil Painting Portrait 1953 large work
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Paul Briscoe, (British), signed & dated 1953 oil painting on board, unframed size: 40 x 30 inches condition: overall very good and presentable. provenance: from a private collection in England we can help arrange a suitable frame if buyers wish, prior to shipping. A magnificent large scale portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Portraits of Her Majesty in private collections are exceedingly rare and adding to the importance of this work is the fact it was painted in the year of her Coronation, 1953. Her Majesty requires no introduction from us, but here is a quick reminder of the basic facts: Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is Queen of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark...
