- After Sir Joshua Reynolds, 18th Century Mezzotint Portrait of John Hely-HutchinsLocated in London, GBA scarce mezzotint engraved by James Watson published in May,1778. Proof before title; the image has maintained is rich dark tonality. John Hely-Hutchinson (1724-1794) was a politician, lawyer and Provost of Trinity College, Dublin. Born in Gortroe, County Cork in 1724, he graduated from Trinity College in 1744, and swiftly built up a good practice at the Bar. From 1760 until his death he represented Cork in Parliament. Promotion to the post of Prime Serjeant followed in 1761 and on most issues he supported the Government, and acquired several lucrative offices. His appointment as Provost of Trinity as a married layman who had not been a Fellow was a continued source of friction as the Fellows resented the imposition of what they perceived as a career politician with no pretensions to scholarship. He was sympathetic to Catholic Emancipation...Category

- A Pair of Pastels -Hebe and GanymedeLocated in London, GBAttributed to Johann Heinrich Schröder (1757-1812) Hebe and Ganymede circa1800 A pair of pastels on paper; held in ebonised frames The German artist, Johann Heinrich Schröder was born in Meining in 1757 and studied at the Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Kassel under Johann Heinrich-Tischbein (1722-1789). He undertook study tours to England and the Netherlands where he portrayed members of the royal families and on his return to Germany was quickly employed by various courts, becoming the favoured royal portraitist of the Duke of Brunswick. He worked mainly in pastels – producing lively, colourful images – and was the best German artist of his time using this technique. Though not typical for the artist, these mythological figurative works exhibit very similar qualities that make it likely that they are by him, or at the very least, an extremely talented colleague working closely in his circle. Many slightly different versions of the classical myth exist but in essence the pastels simply depict both Hebe and Ganymede as cup-bearers to the Gods: Hebe, the daughter of Juno, and goddess of youth, vacated this position on becoming the wife of Hercules or possibly was dismissed as a consequence of a fall she met with when in attendance on the gods. Her successor was Ganymede, a Trojan boy, whom Jupiter, in the disguise of an eagle, seized and carried off from the midst of his play-fellows on Mount...Category

The satirical scene is the signing of the Fox-North coalition, which was a short-lived partnership the two formed while combining forces in the House of Commons to oust then Prime Minister William Petty, Earl of Shelburne. Fox had fallen out of favor with the Irish born Shelburne, also a Whig, whose ministry remained in power just long enough to see the American War of Independence...Category
