  • 1770.02.07/ maison de ventes : Langford. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A gentleman's portrait an half length.

  • 1770.02.07/ maison de ventes : Langford. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[King Charles I. an half length. This picture was supposed to be destroyed in the year 1697, after it had been copied by Sir Peter Lely, who died in 1680, (and who, as Mr. Granger very justly observes, copied this admirable master with great success.) There was a mezzotinto taken from Sir Peter's copy by Faber in 1738. This picture is remarkable for the melancholy cast of the King's countenance, by which his fate was foretold; also for the exact form of the beard. A celebrated writer has observed, that the first proof his Majesty gave of his being affected with the ill treatment of his enemies was, the neglecting of his beard. A third particular which marks this picture, is the pearl in the King's left ear, which pearl is in the invaluable collection of her Grace the Dutchess Dowager of Portland (Vandyck)|King Charles I. an half length.
