An Early 19thC English School Oil on Canvas Portrait of Mary Stuart, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange (1631 – 1660)Origin: EnglishPeriod: George III Provenance: UnknownDate: c. 1800 30Height: 29. 5Width: 25. 5 (in frame)The beautifully realised portrait of Mary Stuart, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange (1631 1660), as a very young woman, shown in profile and half length, wearing a pearl necklace, lace gown and headdress whilst clutching a flower, the whole on a dark ground, presented in a somewhat nave manner and presented in the original moulded giltwood

The whole is perfectly serviceable

Many chests of this era have later additions

and counting the time it took the gold to reach the ports of Spain

The table is structurally sound though a little tired

and especially sought after in its original frame

found in L'Azoth des Philosophes by the 15th Century alchemist Basilius Valentinus

surviving from George III period England

and being a study in spatial concept

playfulness
