Est: €9,500 - €10,000
Circle of JACOB HUYSMANS (c. 1633-1696), c. 1700. "Portrait of a Young Man." Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents restorations. Measurements: 144 x 102 cm; 163 x 120 cm (frame). We see in this canvas the portrait of a child in front of an idyllic landscape background in which we can appreciate the remains of an imposing architecture of classical style. The protagonist is perfectly centered in the scene, looking directly at the viewer. He is elegantly dressed in the fashion of the time. The little boy holds in his hands a large spear, symbol of power, while with the other he holds the leash of two greyhounds. Both the subject matter and the protagonist are very reminiscent of the work "John Ives Senior as a Boy (1718/1719-1793) which is in Great Yarmouth Museums. The style and technique are reminiscent of the painting of Jacob Huysmans (c. 1633-1696) Flemish portrait painter who, after training in his native Antwerp, emigrated to England before the Restoration. He became a famed court painter and attracted the patronage of the Portuguese-born Queen Catherine of Braganza, a Catholic like himself, of whom he painted several portraits. With his exuberant style, during his lifetime he was considered an important rival of the court painter Peter Lely, who favored a more sober treatment of his models. Huysmans moved to England before the Restoration, in 1660. He is first recorded in England in 1662. There he began as a painter of small-format pastiches of history paintings by Anthony van Dyck. Later he was able to establish himself as a portrait painter at the court of Charles II. Even after he had established himself as a portraitist to the elite, he continued to paint history subjects and is known to have created religious compositions for his patron, Queen Catherine of Braganza. His religious and historical paintings are more sober in style than his portraits. His style, handling of paint and application of color are close to the Italianate Baroque of Anthony van Dyck. His palette is characterized by the use of high tone colors, reddish highlights in the flesh tones and a smooth, glossy finish. Huysmans was especially adept at depicting the rich colors and textures of sumptuous court dress. He liked to show the play of light, color and hallmarks of textures, crinkled satin against porcelain skin or shimmering ringlets entwined with jeweled flowers. Huysmans preferred to represent his models in costume and with accessories placed in theatrical settings and including allegorical symbols. The grandeur of his models evokes the work of the Italian painter Guido Reni and the 17th century Bolognese school. It presents restorations.

STUDIO OF JACOB HUYSMANS (BELGIAN CIRCA 1633-1696)PORTRAIT OF CHARLES, 5TH EARL OF HADDINGTONOil on canvas125 x 100.5cm (49 x 39½ in.)Provenance:The Dukes of Leeds, Hornby Castle, and by descentSale, Christie's London, 1 December 2000, lot 3Literature: Historical and Descriptive Catalogue of Pictures Belonging to His Grace the Duke of Leeds, 1902, no.166, Hornby Castle, Cloth Passage.Charles Hamilton, 5th Earl of Haddington (1650-85), known as Lord Binning until he inherited his father's titles in 1669, was the son of John Hamilton, 4th Earl of Haddington, and Lady Christian Lindsay. Whilst not politically active, he allied himself to his kinsman the Duke of Hamilton in his support of the Duke of Lauderdale in the early stages of the latter's Scottish policy, in which Lauderdale adopted a moderate attitude towards the Presbyterians. In 1674, the 5th Earl married Lady Margaret Leslie, eldest daughter of John Leslie, 1st Duke of Rothes, Lord Chancellor of Scotland. She was heiress to her father's earldom of Rothes, but not his dukedom. In order to prevent the Rothes title becoming extinct, the marriage terms determined that any first-born son was to assume the surname Leslie and be heir to the earldom of Rothes, and any second-born would be heir to the earldom of Haddington.Jacob Huysmans (1630-1696), a Flemish painter born in Antwerp around 1633, gained renown for his portraiture in England during the late seventeenth century. A Roman Catholic who captured much of the spirit of the Restoration court, Huysmans often gave his portraits an elaborate baroque flourish and the artist greatly benefited from the patronage of his co-religionist, Catherine of Braganza, even becoming a serious rival of the more sombre Sir Peter Lely. This artwork conforms to a portrait type employed by Jacob Huysman and his studio in the mid 1670s where the sitter is portrayed three-quarter-length in analogous armour, brightly coloured sash and framed by the same rocky outcrop; the pallid white hands are also typical of the artist. Yet the portraits possess a sharpness and compositional uniformity not present in Huysmans, perhaps more important, commissions (such as in that of Haddington's patron, Lauderdale), thus attesting to this being a studio work.

By family tradition the sitter is believed to be Winston Churchill, younger brother of the first Duke of Marlborough, who died in battle aged 20. Winston Churchill died in 1672 at the age of 20 at the Battle of Sole Bay near Southwold, Suffolk. His brother, the future Duke, was also present at the Battle. The symbols in the painting are connected to the sitter's early death and are part of an apotheosis with the Harp of the Angels, the Lamb for the virtues of innocence, purity and humility and the Heavenly Crown. References to the sitter's death in battle could be the heavenly crown with the crossed swords and his quasi Roman decorative armour which became so fashionable on church monuments of the period.
