Circle of Enoch Seeman, Polish/English 1689/90-1745- Portrait... Lot 71

Circle of Enoch Seeman, Polish/English 1689/90-1745- Portrait of a gentleman, seated half-length, wearing a bronze-coloured jacket and a white shirt, in a feigned oval; oil on canvas, 72.7 x 59.6 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Seeman was a prominent and prolific portraitist who, as court painter to the British royal family, depicted sitters such as George II (1683-1760) and Queen Caroline of Ansbach (1683-1737). The present work was likely painted by an artist familiar with Seeman's portraiture, and recalls works such as Seeman's 'Portrait of a Gentleman, probably the Hon. Montague Blundell', offered by Christie's, London, on 29 November 2023 (lot 131).
