18th C. Samuel Shelley Portrait - Duchess of Montagu
Est: $1,500 - $3,000
Samuel Shelley (British, 1750-1808). Duchess of Montagu, watercolor on ivory, 18th century. A beautiful miniature portrait of the Duchess of Montagu, finely painted on ivory by British artist Samuel Shelley. The Duchess of Montagu (1689-1751) was married to John Montagu, the 2nd Duke of Montagu, with whom she had five children. In this bust-length miniature portrait, Shelley presents the Duchess seated in a red chair and dressed in a luxurious gown adorned with fine lace. The Duchess is also bedecked with jewels - a strand of pearls around her neck, a lovely drop earring, an emerald and pearl brooch as well as a matching hair ornament. Shelley brilliantly captured her delicate visage - those crystal blue eyes, arched brows, aquiline nose, and bow lips - topped by an elegant updo and framed by her flowing veil. The portrait is mounted behind glass in a custom frame. Size (sight view): 3.875" L x 2.75" W (9.8 cm x 7 cm) Size (frame): 11.625" L x 10.5" W (29.5 cm x 26.7 cm) Please Note: An inscription handwritten on cardboard behind the portrait reads: "Historical Portrait / Duchess Montagu / Wife of John Montagu Second / Duke of Montagu 06, 1760 / rare miniature painting / Sam Shelley / the possession of the lute / G. Drummond Esq / at tannmore / on Ivory". The date 1760 indicates that the painting was created by Shelley following the Duchess' death, perhaps after an earlier sketch or painting. About the artist: Samuel Shelley was born in Whitechapel, London. Shelley first exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1773 and entered the Royal Academy Schools where Sir Joshua Reynolds' work greatly influenced him. Shelley achieved great success, exhibiting at the Royal Academy, the Society of Artists, and the British Institute. In addition, he was cofounder of the Watercolour Society, along with W.F. Wells, Robert Hills, W.H. Pyne, and six other artists. While Shelley painted in oil, illustrated books, and engraved some of his own works, he is best known for his miniature watercolor portraits.

Shelley / George Street Hannover Square / altered and repainted / 1807 Watercolour on ivory Gilt-mounted rectangular papier-mâché frame Oval, 95mm (3 3/4in) high Exhibited: Comerford Collection at the Irish Architectural Archives, Dublin, 2009 Literature: The Comerford Collection: Portrait Miniatures, (privately published, Dublin, 2009); pp 10, 53 (#224) Reverend Deare was the Rector of Bures in Suffolk in 1798. Early in 1800 he was elected to be one of King George II's chaplains. His will, dated 30th March 1825, is housed in the National Archives at Kew. In 1804 Shelley joined with W.F. Wells, Robert Hills, W.H. Pyne, and six other artists to found the Watercolour Society (afterwards known as the "Old Society"), of which he was treasurer until 1807. As Shelley died in 1808, this would appear to be one of his later works.

On 21st March the following year he entered the Royal Academy Schools (his age recorded as 17), where he became influenced by the work of Sir Joshua Reynolds. During his career Shelley painted in oil, illustrated books, and engraved several of his own works, but he is most particularly remembered for his watercolour miniature portraits. During his lifetime he exhibited at the Royal Academy, at the Society of Artists and at the British Institute.

SAMUEL SHELLEY (BRITISH 1750/56 - 1808) Portrait miniature of a young lady perhaps of Oriental origin, circa 1805, wearing a white dress and a gold loupe suspended from a gold chain around her neck, red curtain background Signed on the reverse with the address, George Street, Hanover Square Watercolour on ivory Original gold frame with locks of hair tied with gold wire on silk ground on the reverse Oval, 68mm high Footnote: The address on the reverse was the last residence of Shelley, having hitherto lived in Soho, Henrietta Street and Covent Garden. The rather shaky signature on the reverse indicates that this was one of the last miniatures that Shelley produced before his death in November 1808, showing how competent he was in old age. The unpowdered hair piled high upon the head is also indicative of a date at the beginning of the 19th Century when fashion dictated this mode. This lot is subject to CITES
