17th C Oil Portrait Of A Young Nobleman, possibly Prince William of Orange

$44,620.62List Price

About the Item

The National Portrait Gallery in London felt the sitter certainly bore a strong resemblance to Prince William of Orange in his teen years. This beautiful portrait is set within a magnificent 17th C original Dutch giltwood frame, very much of the style later adopted perfected by the master wood carver sculptor Grinling Gibbons ( 1648 – 1721 ). We have selected images showing Prince William from a very young age to his 20’s. We believe that our portrait has an exceptionally close resemblance to the documented paintings and date wise falls perfectly in line with Prince Williams’ age. The nose, the eyebrows, his parting, eyes, and mouth all show strong similarities that lead us to propose that this is a portrait of Prince William of Orange, the future King of England.. The Rijksmuseum noted that this painting shows strong similarities influence to the work of the artist Willem van Honthorst. The National Portrait Gallery in London felt the sitter certainly bore a strong resemblance to Prince William III of Orange in his teen years. This beautiful portrait is set within a magnificent 17th-century original Dutch giltwood frame, very much of the style later adopted perfected by the master wood carver sculptor Grinling Gibbons ( 1648 – 1721 ). Willem van Honthorst ( 1596 – 1666 ) was one of the Dutch ”Golden Age” painters. He was born in Utrecht, the younger brother of Gerard van Honthorst, whose father Herman taught them both to paint along with Abraham Bloemaert. Like his brother, he is known as a follower of Caravaggio and became a respected portrait painter. He was a Court painter in Berlin to Countess Louise Henriette of Nassau during the years 1647-1664. Louise Henrietta of Nassau ( 1627 – 1667 ) was a Countess of Nassau, Granddaughter of William I, Prince of Orange, “William the Silent”, and an Electress of Brandenburg. She grew up at the Court of her Father, the Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel. Taking into account who the sitter could be also the resemblance to the work of the above-named artist, although speculative, it is entirely possible that the artist would have encountered the Countess’s relative Prince William III as her Court painter, the young Prince could well have sat for him. We have selected images showing Prince William from a very young age to his 20’s. We believe that our portrait is an exceptionally close resemblance to the documented paintings and date wise falls perfectly in line with Prince Williams’ age. The nose, the eyebrows, his parting, eyes, and mouth all show strong similarities that lead us to propose that this is a portrait of Prince William of Orange.

Late 17th Century Oil Portrait of a Lady

Located in Lymington, GB

An oil on canvas portrait of a young French courtier, circa 1690. This evocative antique French-school picture has been attributed to the portrait painter Jean-François de Troy (1679-1752). De Troy was famous as a portrait painter of fashionable society women. This is a very attractive late-17th century painting surviving in its original frame and stretcher. The canvas appears to be untouched. References: 'Jean François de Troy, The Alarm, or the Gouvernante Fidèle', at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. 'Jean François de Troy, Paris 1679 - Rome 1752', at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Laurie G. Winters, Troy, de, Grove Art Online, Oxford Art Online, Oxford University Press, 6 May 2016.
