VAN DYCK.
155
black silk vest with short open sleeves, showing the white linen
shirt, and a pendent lace frill; he appears to be standing near
a pillar, leaning his right arm on its base, with the hand placed
in front. As this nobleman was but eleven years old when
Van Dyck died, it must either be the portrait of some other
gentleman, or, what is more probable, it was painted by
Dobson; but is quite worthy of the name to which it is
attributed.
4 st. 2 in. by 3 st. 4 in.—C.
Now in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire, Chiswick.
547. Portrait of Charlotte de la Tremouille, Countess of
Derby, when about thirty-two years of age, with the face
represented in a three-quarter view. Her elegant dress consists
of white satin, with triple rows of pearls adorning the bosom,
and a zone of jewels round the waist. An excellent picture.
Engraved by Thomson, in Lodge’s Memoirs.
Now in the collection of the Earl of Derby, Knowsley.
548. Portrait of William Villiers, Viscount Grandison, when
apparently about thirty years of age, seen in nearly a front
view, with auburn bushy hair. He is habited in a scarlet vest
with open sleeves, richly embroidered in gold ; a lace frill,
covering the shoulders ; a red mantle over the left arm ; scarlet
hose, and buff boots. The right hand, wearing a glove, is
placed on the hip, holding a hat decked with blue feathers ;
the left hand falls negligently by the side.
7 st. by 4 ft. 4 in.—C.
Engraved by Gunst.
Now in the collection of the Duke of Grafton.
A Duplicate of the preceding is in the collection of Lord
Clarendon, and is engraved in Lodge’s Memoirs.
There is also a print of a half-length portrait of Lord Grandison,
engraved by Picart, from a picture exhibited in the British Gallery
in 1815, and now in the collection of Earl Fitzwilliam.
