After her divorce from the Earl of Angus she was married to Henry Stuart, brother to the Lord Avindall. *footnote: This picture has an inscription upon it, also arms painted long subsequent to the painting of the picture, and evidently intended for some other portrait (Holbein)|Margaret, sister of Henry VIII., Queen of James IV. of Scotland, in black and ermine dress, ornamented with white pearl beads, ermine tippet, holding a missal, 24 in. by 37 Margaret wife of James IV., and mother of James V.

  • 1834.07.07/ maison de ventes : Braithwaite (Frederick). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Bradshaw, John, Serjeant at Law, President of the pretended High Court of Justice, who sat upon the trial of King Charles I., black dress, slash sleeves; 25 in. by 30 Bradshaw had the peculiarity of being the only man that ever sat in judgment upon his Sovereign. His reward for presiding at the trial was almost as extraordinary, as the parliament soon after made him a present of Summer Hill, a seat of the Earl of St. Alban's, valued at 1000£. a year. He declared a little before he left the world, that if the King were to be tried and condemned again, he would be the first man that should do it. It may not be a little surprising to find the portrait of so great a Republician in the very midst of so many loyal families, but the name on the picture, the simple word "Bradshaw" will probably shew that it was preserved more out of curiosity of the picture, than from the admiration of the man. There can be little doubt of the originality, and the excessive rarity of the portrait will probably render this memorial of very great interest to the collector (Walker)|Bradshaw, John, Serjeant at Law, President of the pretended High Court of Justice, who sat upon the trial of King Charles I., black dress, slash sleeves; 25 in. by 30 Bradshaw had the peculiarity of being the only man that ever sat in judgment upon his Sovereign.

  • 1834.07.07/ maison de ventes : Braithwaite (Frederick). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Monmouth, James Scott, Duke of, Master of the Horse, whole length, in the robes of the Garter -- a rare Portrait, and fine specimen of the Master; 54 in. by 90 The attempt of the Duke of Monmouth to raise himself to the throne, was no less absurd than that of James to change the religion of the three Kingdoms. He landed with a few of his followers in the west, where he was greatly beloved by the people, who regarded him as rightful heir to the crown; he soon found himself at the head of a numerous body of ploughmen, graziers, and mechanics, who behaved at the battle of Sedgemore much better than could have been expected from such a rabble of undisciplined soldiers; this was in a great measure owing to the intrepidity of the Duke. The defeat was occasioned by Lord Grey retreating with the cavalry, which were thrown into confusion by the noise of the cannon. The unhappy Monmouth was found by some country fellows, two days after, concealed in a field, under some straw with a few pease in his pocket; his head was severed from his body in the fifth stroke by a timid and unskilful executioner, who probably sympathized with the weeping spectators (Lely)|Monmouth, James Scott, Duke of, Master of the Horse, whole length, in the robes of the Garter -- a rare Portrait, and fine specimen of the Master; 54 in. by 90 The attempt of the Duke of Monmouth to raise himself to the throne, was no less absurd than that of James to change the religion of the three Kingdoms.

He was a friend of virtue, and a lover of his country. He plunged deeply in business, and proved himself an able man in the management of his private affairs and in every part of his conduct with regard to the public. He at first sided with the King, but shortly after, from what appeared to him reasonable motives, warmly attached himself to the Parliament. He appears to have had no connection with the independent party. He died of a fever 1647, occasioned by his perturbation of mind, from the prospect of those miseries which he apprehended would soon fall upon himself and his country. The Parliament then sitting, though his enemies, buried him at their own expense: and the celebrated Primate Usher (who it appears was somewhat related) preached his funeral sermon (Vandyke)|The same Percival, Sir Philip, Knt. of the Court of Wards in Ireland; nat. 1599, ob. 1647 in a white dress, over which is thrown a loose crimson cloak, holding a lemon in his left hand, 40 by 50 Sir Philip Percival, who in the early part of his life was too easily swayed by his passions, became afterwards a man of a sedate and amiable character.

Inscription under original print. A pompous list of titles and honors under the portraits of men of rank, sometimes compose the whole history of the person represented. Here we have a man who shone with unborrowed lustre, whose merit was the foundation of his fame, though he seemed born for the camp only, he was perfectly qualified for the court; his courage on board the fleet was scarcely exceeded by that of Prince Rupert, or the Earl of Albemarle, and theirs was never exceeded by that of any other sea officer. He commanded the English troops in the service of the Prince of Orange, and at the battle of Mons contributed greatly to the retreat of Marshal Luxemberg, to whom Lewis XIV. was indebted for the greater part of his military glory; He on this occasion received the thanks of the Duke of Villa Formosa, and of his Catholic Majesty himself. His speech addressed to the Earl of Shaftesbury, in vindication of his father, was universally applauded, it even confounded that intrepid orator, who was, in the senate, what Ossory was in the field; these his great qualities were adorned by a singular modesty, and a probity which nothing could corrupt; poets and historians praise him in much the same terms, as prose naturally rises to the language of poetry on so celebrated a subject.
