Summary
[edit]DescriptionPortrait of Charles, Lord Bruce wearing peer's robes, his coronet to the right.jpg |
English: Attributed to Sir Godfrey Kneller, Bt. and Sir Joshua Reynolds P.R.A.
Portrait of Charles, Lord Bruce wearing peer's robes, his coronet to the right (1682-1747) inscribed upper right: CHARLES / LORD BRUCE / AFTERWARD EARL OF / AILESBURY & / ELGIN oil on canvas, in a carved wood frame 122.5 by 101 cm.; 48 1/2 by 39 3/4 in The sitter was the second son of Thomas Bruce, 3rd Earl of Elgin and 2nd Earl of Ailesbury and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Seymour, sister of the 3rd Duke of Somerset from whom the family inherited Tottenham Park and Savernake. He succeeded his father (who had long lived in exile on the continent) in 1741 as 4th Earl of Elgin and last Earl of Ailesbury of that creation. He had no surviving male descendants from either of his two marriages to Lady Anne Savile and Lady Juliana Boyle. Two of his daughters became Duchesses - Mary, Duchess of Chandos and Mary, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox. He made notable architectural improvements to Tottenham, influenced by his brother-in-law, Lord Burlington. The costume would appear to date from the 1760s/1770's and is very close in style to the work of Reynolds who painted for the family. |
