John Ferneley’s “2nd Dragoon Guards”
“2nd Dragoon Guards” by British artist John Ferneley, Jr. Ferneley, who specialized in sporting, equestrian and other animal genres and depicts here a lone mounted guard from the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen’s Bays), a cavalry regiment in the British Army. The regiment began as the Monarch’s personal guards, and went on to serve the crown in various capacities for more than three centuries. It was first raised in 1685 as the Earl of Peterborough’s Regiment of Horse, and ranked as the 3rd Regiment of Horse. In 1715, it was named The Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment of Horse, for Princess Caroline of Wales; when her husband rose to the throne in 1727, the regiment was dubbed The Queen’s Own Regiment of Horse. In 1746, it was retitled The Queen’s Regiment of Dragoon Guards, and ranked as the 2nd Dragoon Guards; five years later it was formally titled thus. The regiment’s historical service includes the quelling of a Chartist Mob in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent in August 1842, and duty in World War I. After the war, it was again retitled, this time as The Queen’s Bays (2nd Dragoon Guards). The regiment mechanized in 1936; transferred to the Royal Armored Corps in 1939; and was amalgamated into the 1st King’s Dragoon Guards in 1959. This painting dates to the mid-nineteenth century with provenance from the Parker Gallery in London. Oil on canvas painting measures 20″ x 24″; framed, 24″ x 28″. Frame shows mild general wear to edges. Canvas shows some repairs to verso. Overall, excellent condition. Sold for $4,104.
The following are some additional art items we sold:
Rembrandt Peale’s Painting of “Napoleon”
1812 portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte Rembrandt Peale painting, noted American Neoclassical painter and son of acclaimed artist Charles Willson Peale. Painted by the famed portrait artist who captured the likenesses of nearly all of the important statesmen of the 18th century, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. This compelling 22.5″ x 27.5″ oil on canvas comes with a fascinating backstory. Since Bonaparte was unwilling to sit for any artists, Peale spent hours sketching the Emperor on public occasions, such as during the procession of deputies in the Champ de Mars where Bonaparte sat still for hours on end. Contrary to the famously romanticized, larger than life interpretations of the French dictator by such artists as Jacques-Louis David, here Peale offers a very human-scale Bonaparte. Peale employs a palette of muted burgundies and blacks, soft lighting and an echo of the background wine-colored drapery in Bonaparte’s scarf. Painting comes with a transcript of the letter Peale gave to artist Thomas Hollingsworth Morris, original owner of the portrait, datelined Philadelphia, 26 January 1858. Letter reads as follows: “Dear Sir, The Portrait you allude to, is an Original Study of the Head of Napoleon Bonaparte, which I made in Paris, in the Year 1812 (not when he was 1st Consul)–but Emperor). It was the result of many paintings, after seeing him at Reviews & other occasions – for he had decided never to sit to any Artist, after the design to assassinate him by Cerachi [sic] the Sculptor who was making a Bust of him–The same Cerachi who was in this Country & made a Bust of our Washington, which is more like Cerachi himself than like Washington. He was guilliotined [sic]. This Head, the effort of repeated Memories, David the Emperor’s Painter thought a good likeness. I am sorry you did not subscribe your address, as I should like to see this Portrait again when I visit Baltimore. Respectfully Yours, Rembrandt Peale (signed).” An excellent portrait of the legendary military genius by an American master portraitist. Excellent Rembrandt Peale painting. Sold for $32,000.
