Hans Holbein
18th C. Portrait of Edward Stanley from Henry VIII's Court after Holbein Drawing

1793

About the Item

This is an 18th century engraved portrait of "Edward Stanley" created by Francesco Bartolozzi (1728–1815), after a drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger (1497- 1543) in the 16th century. Holbein was the official artist in the court of King Henry VIII. Bartolozzi used both etching and stipple engraving techniques to create the work which was published by John Chamberlaine in London in 1793 in "The Book of Imitations of Original Drawings by Hans Holbein in the Collection of His Majesty". Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby (1509-1572) was a prominent nobleman in King Henry VIII's royal court. When Edward was 13 years old Henry VIII took responsibility for raising him with the help of Cardinal Wolsey. Edward was involved in the petition of Pope Clement VII to allow the divorce of King Henry from his 1st wife, Katherine of Aragon, which would set the stage for Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn. Edward was involved in several diplomatic missions with King Henry and military campaigns in Scotland with King Edward VI, Henry's son, who made him a Knight of the Garter. He served on the Privy Council of Queen Mary and subsequently Queen Elizabeth I. This historically important portrait is presented in an antiqued gold-colored and black wood frame with a tan color outer mat and a dark brown inner mat. The frame measures 23" high by 18.88" wide by 1.75" deep. There is faint staining of the lower left corner of the mat, but the engraving is in very good condition. There is another Bartolozzi/Holbein portrait of Sir George Brooke, Baron Cobham, another nobleman in King Henry VIII's court listed on 1stdibs, Reference # LU117326313422. It is framed and matted identically to this piece and the pair would make an attractive and interesting display. A discount is available for purchase of the pair.

  • Anna Held, dans Toutes ces Dames au Theatre, recto and Footit et Chocolat, verso
    By Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
    Located in Fairlawn, OH
    Anna Held, dans Toutes ces Dames au Theatre, recto and Footit et Chocolat, verso Lithograph, printed on newsprint, 1894 Monogramed in the stone (see photo) Published in La revue Blanche, in the NIB supplement which accompanied the January 1895 issue This impression of the regular edition is considered "Uncommon" by Wittrock, even though it was printed in an edition of c. 2000. Because of the fragile nature of the paper, the fact that it was folded and inserted in La Revue Blanche, my guess is that many have been ruined since it was published, hence "uncommon". Reference: Wittrock 87 recto and 88 verso Condition: Sun staining to the recto image of Anna Held. Small tears at the edges of the folds (as issued). Archival framing with double sided windows. Gilt finished corner frame with linen recto and rag verso matting. Sheet size: 14 x 9 3/4 inches Provenance: Ira Lipman, Memphis, TN. Lipman was an extremely successful business man and engaged in generous philanthropy. Chocolat was the stage name of Rafael Padilla (ca. 1865/68 – 4 November 1917), a clown who performed in a Paris circus around the turn of the 20th century. Rafael was of Afro-Cuban descent and was one of the earliest successful black entertainers in modern France. He was the first black clown to play a lead role in a circus pantomime act, and with his longtime partner George Foottit they revolutionized the art of clowning by pairing the sophisticated white clown with the foolish auguste clown. Ira Ackerman Lipman (November 15, 1940 – September 16, 2019) was an American businessman and philanthropist. He was the founder and chairman of Guardsmark, a privately owned security company with a payroll of 17,000 employees and 130 offices in the United States, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and France. In 2015, he sold Guardsmark to Universal Protection Service, the largest private security company in the United States, and he served as its vice chairman until its 2016 merger with AlliedBarton. He was called "a pioneer in the private security guard business". His work was cited by the United States Department of Justice's Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations. He supported the arts in Memphis, Tennessee and Judeo-Christian interfaith dialogue in the United States. Lipman served on the boards of trustees of the Brooks Memorial Art Gallery and the Memphis Academy of Arts as well as on the Advisory Council of the Chickasaw Council Boy Scouts of America. He established the Alexis de Tocqueville...
