The Klabin Portrait

The title of this page is The Klabin Portrait, but it could have just as easily have been called The Frick Portrait or The Brocklebank/Taylor Portrait.

What all of these three paintings have in common is that they have at some point all been identified as Lady Jane Grey.

For J. Stephan Edwards's assessment of the The Klabin Portrait, see p. 112-115 of A Queen of a New Invention, for the Brocklebank/Taylor Portrait, see p. 98-101. (There called the Tayler Portrait, it was Lee Porritt who discovered its provenance prior to 1998.)

Lee Porritt writes in Lady Jane Grey By Antonis Mor of the Frick Portrait that, «To me, it is more characteristic of a painting based on an existing portrait, pattern, or sketch by another artist of the sixteenth century than that of Mor. This may then have been copied on multiple occasions within a workshop to create an image and fill the demand for portraits to be used as decoration within the home. Workshop portraits were in high demand towards the end of the sixteenth century, and their creation required a lesser skilled artist than that of the great masters who may have painted the image in the first place. This theory is pure speculation at this time and will not be known for certain until the Frick portrait is located and studied further, however, the survival of other images which are close in comparison do suggest this.»

«The Frick portrait does show some similarities to a group of paintings depicting unidentified female sitters wearing similar clothing, including one once thought to depict Anne Boleyn. That painting is now identified as a portrait of an unknown woman and is in the collection of the Musee Conde in France.

The Musee Conde portrait is dated to the second half of the sixteenth century, according to the museum’s website records. Like the Frick Portrait, it is painted on wood, which does indicate that it may have been painted at a similar period. It is highly likely that the artist who created the Frick portrait used an image or pattern similar to this painting as a source of reference when creating the portrait and that the identity of the original sitter and artist who painted it have been lost, allowing Jane’s name to be associated at a later point in time.»

This led me to take an interest in the workshops.

Temporary Conclusions

A lot of these portraits are called, in various sales catalogues: François Clouet, attributed to François Clouet, after François Clouet, School of François Clouet, French School.

Where a definite reference image can be traced, more often than not it proves to be a portrait by Antonis Mor. Even more generally, a portrait depicting a lady located in Spain or the Spanish Netherlands.

Overall, the dominant trend is portraits depicting a lady in the fashion of Spain or the Spanish Netherlands.

One notable exception so far being the Clopton Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I Tudor, which appears to have been very popular.

The first Marquess was received by Queen Mary with great pleasure and was the object of entertainment. In 1554 he was appointed ambassador to England, replacing Simon Renard.

«This portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots has recently been rediscovered as an image painted within her lifetime or very shortly after her death. The painting had long been considered to date from the eighteenth century, but recent tree ring analysis (known as dendrochronology) has established that the panel was felled in the sixteenth century. The work can now be dated to 1560 -1592. Recent conservation work has also revealed an original oval background with a marbling effect, which had previously been overpainted with dark brown paint.»

This is one of many copies of a lost portrait, the original of which was painted by Mor in 1555. Mor was apprenticed to Jan van Scorel in Utrecht and became his assistant. After visiting Italy, he joined the painters' Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp and became painter to Emperor Charles V's minister in 1549. For twenty years Mor travelled between the Habsburg courts of Europe and his portraits comprise a hall of fame of the era's rulers. Mor added Netherlandish attention to detail and insight into character to the grandness of Titian's portrait style.»

FILIA D HISPANIA

FILIA D HISPANIA

After tracing the evolution of the portrait of her step-mother Anna of Austria, Queen Consort of Spain, I am convinced that there is some connection.

Perhaps it was created as a part of a set of the two of them? (Or the whole family?)

It seems to be patterned after a workshop copy of that portrait.

FILIA GENOVESA

FILIA GENOVESA

French School, 16th Century Portrait of a Noble Lady with Lace Collar (Elisabeth of Austria?), 16th century, inscribed FILIA GENOVESA – Genoese daughter. At this point I feel that the workshop copyists are just messing with us.

(Or does it really say SENOVESA? That's what I thought at first, but I rejected it because, well, Genovesa is an actual Latin word. Also I thought that I had seen another of these portraits with the brown inscription border in which the letter S and the letter G were interchangeable. But now I can't find it, so it seems I was mistaken, unlikely as that sounds.)

Of Savoy?

Catherine Michelle of Spain, Duchess of Savoy (10 October 1567 – 6 November 1597), daughter of Philip II of Spain? That seems too late for this portrait. Of the many, many, many portraits of Catherine Michelle there is no corresponding that I can find.

Of Senova?

Felice della Rovere (c. 1483 – 27 September 1536), daughter of Pope Julius II? That seems too early for this portrait. No corresponding portrait that I can find.)

If anything, the portrait resembles more a type called Genoese Lady by Anthony van Dyck. These seem to date too late, however, and the resemblance is by no means perfect.

The one below is ironically located in the Frick Collection, and dated to ca. 1625–27.

There is one in the Louvre with even more elements from our portraits, but again, too late, and the resemblance is by no means perfect.
