About the Item
Austrian School, 18th Century
A Portrait of a Gentleman, thought to be Moses Diego Lopez Pereira, 1st Baron d’Aguilar, in an elaborate coat and a powdered wig
Oil on canvas
Provenance:
Ex Collection of Giorgio Forattini, Rome, Italy
Note: The cropped painting bears the following, indistinct but decipherable, inscription:
German: English:
[...JAMIN FREIHERR [...]JAMIN BARON
[G]EBO[REN]: 5te NOV:1699 BORN: 5th NOV. 1699
GEST[ORBEN]: 25 OCT 1759. DIED: 25 OCT 1759.
These dates correspond to the life of Moses Diego Lopez Pereira, 1st Baron d’Aguilar, a key figure among Sephardic Jews in 18th Century Vienna and London. He served as a Court Jew in Vienna, playing crucial roles and aiding the Habsburg Court in various capacities, including financial support for monumental constructions like Schönbrunn Palace. Originally from Portugal, his family, like many Sephardic Jews, left Spain to avoid expulsion due to their refusal to convert to Catholicism. He gained the favour of Empress Maria Theresa, becoming a Privy Councillor and playing a vital role in Jewish matters in Vienna.
Under Diego d’Aquilar’s initiative, a secret Sephardic Jewish community in Vienna received permission to have a synagogue. However, when the Spanish inquisition sought his extradition, he lost his Imperial protection, and the d’Aguilar family, who had returned to Judaism openly, had to flee to London. As a parting gesture, they gifted magnificent silver crown pieces to Viennese Turkish Jews for their Torah scrolls, engraved with the d’Aquilar name. His memory is commemorated annually on Yom Kippur.
The significance of the name “...jamin” is unclear, but it might be related to the Tribe of Benjamin, one of the 12 tribes of Israel, to which d’Aguilar belonged.

Portrait of Ralph William Grey
By Bartholomew Dandridge
Located in London, GB
Provenance
By descent through the sitter's family to
The Collection of R. W. Vivian-Neal of Poundisford Park, Somerset, from whom acquired by
With Lane Fine Art, UK, where purchased by the present owners in 1996
Literature
'Poundisford Park, Somerset' in Country Life, 22 December 1934, ill.

This is a three-quarter-length portrait of Ralph William Grey in a mole-coloured velvet coat and a long waistcoat of green satin, heavily embroidered in gold. Under his left right hand is a black chapeau bras. He has white doe-skin gauntlet gloves.
Son of William and Ann Grey of Backworth: born 19 December 1707. He married Mary the daughter of William Rawstorne of Newall in 1741 and died 5 November 1786. He was educated at Eaton and Trinity College, Oxford.
Within a year of his birth Mrs Grey died and, according to the Country Life article 'From that time forward all Mr Grey's faculties were concentrated on the well-being of his son. The possession of an heir gave zest to his efforts to build up the family fortune: he was successful in most of his ventures. Years later his interest in life was centred in the home of his daughter-in-law and grandchildren'.
Grey's right hand is depicted in the present portrait resting on Locke's Essays and the Country Life article also records that there are constant references to John Locke...
