Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Richard Deane: Major-General and General-at-Sea in the Service of the Commonwealth, and One of the Commissioners of the High Court of Justice Appointed for the Trial of King Charles the First 1. Half-length in armour, left arm leaning on the fluke of an anchor, a truncheon in the right hand. Painted by Walker. This was in the possession of (Sykes?) a painter in Lincoln´s Inn Fields at the beginning of this century, but its subsequent fate I have not been able to discover. It was probably the picture formerly in the Cornbury Collection, and separated from it when that Collection was divided between the Clarendon and Douglas families, but is not now to be found in either. It is supposed to have fallen to the share of the latter, and to have been sold, among others, by the then head of the family, for want of room for them in Douglas Castle! A drawing of this portrait by Gardiner is in the illustrated Clarendon in the Queen´s Library at Windsor. An engraving in outline was taken for Mr. Sutherland, of which copies may be occasionally met with. 2. Another portrait is in the possession of the Earl of Dartmouth. It represents the Admiral in a sitting posture, with an anchor beside him, holding a truncheon, a ship in the left distance. 3. A miniature by Cooper, which has descended from Hannah, daughter of Admiral Deane, to her descendant Edmund Lenthall Swifte, Esq., late Keeper of the Crown Jewels in the Tower. There is a resemblance of features between this and the portrait in the possession of the Earl of Dartmouth. 4. An engraving from No. 1, Borquet, sc. was published by Mr. Scott. Half-length, large. 5. A proof; name in open letters; and another proof without letters, taken for Mr. Sutherland, is in the Illustrated Granger, presented by him to the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
