HERBERT TUER (BRITISH, 1600-1686), ATTRIBUTED / FOLLOWER OF, OLD MASTER PORTRAIT OF SIR LEOLINE JENKINS (1623-1685), oil on canvas, a large and impressive three-quarter length depiction of a seated figure in richly upholstered armchair, he holds a paper inscribed "Memorial", a table just to his left holds a medal, inkwells, and other accoutrement. Housed in possibly original carved giltwood frame. 17th century. 45" x 36" sight, 54 1/2" x 45 1/2" OA.
Catalogue Note: An extremely important figure in his time, Sir Leoline Jenkins (1623-1685) was the Principal of Jesus College at Oxford University, an Ambassador in various capacities, and Secretary of State in the Court of King Charles II. He was England's principal representative at the Congress of Nijmegen (1676-1679) and was instrumental in negotiating an end to the Franco-Dutch War.
Little is known of the artist, Herbert Tuer (1600-1686), who appears to have been connected with British Royalist families during the politically tumultuous 17th century. Belgian artist, Michael Vandergucht (1660-1725) made an engraving of this portrait by Tuer, which was used as the frontispiece in William Wynne's biography of Leoline Jenkins, published in 1714.
