About the Item
After Sir Peter Lely, Late 17th Century
(1618–1680)
James, Duke of York, (later James II) and Anne Hyde, Duchess of York
Chalk on paper
Image size: 8¼ x 10¼ inches
Born in Soest in 1618, Lely trained in Haarlem before travelling to London in 1634. He had painted the children of Charles I in 1647, whilst the king was in custody during the Civil War. After the return of Charles II and the restoration of the monarchy, Lely was appointed Principal Painter to the king and
enjoyed a highly successful career at court, producing portraits of the leading figures of the day.
Lely produced a number of likenesses of the king’s brother, James Duke of York, and his first wife,
Anne Hyde, over several years. Commissioned by the Earl of Clarendon, this portrait was most probably painted after the marriage in 1660. This sketch, however, matches the composition of a
slightly later group portrait of the couple by Lely, which is held in the collection at the Petworth House.
Peter Lely would make a number of studies when preparing a composition. Indeed, according to Oliver
Millar, he was ‘a more prolific draughtsman, and made more preparatory studies in the course of his practice, than any other professional portrait-painter in London’. He clearly appreciated the value of drawings, whether as a commodity in themselves, or as a part of the artistic process.

- Signed Figure Study by Antoniucci VoltiBy Antoniucci VoltiLocated in Larchmont, NYAntoniucci Volti (French, 1915-1989) Untitled, 1969 Red chalk on paper 14 3/4 x 11 in. Signed: Volti Sculptor, painter, and printmaker Antoniucci Volti was born in Albano, Italy, in 1915. His family lived in there until 1920 when the family moved to France to stay. Volti studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Nice from 1928 to 1920. By 1932 the young artist had won a gold medal for two polychrome bas-reliefs before going to Paris, where he entered the studio of Jean Boucher at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of only fifteen. After serving in the Second World War, when he was interned as a prisoner of war in Bavaria, he returned in poor health to Paris, only to find his studio destroyed. From 1947 he showed work at various Paris Salons and, in 1954 and 1955 at the Brussels and Antwerp Biennales. In 1957 a retrospective of his work was organized at the Museum Rodin in Paris. He died in Paris in 1989 Works by Volti are in leading museums such as the Musee National d'Art Moderne, Paris. Antoniucci Volti is one of the most important Late Modern sculptors...Category
