Post lot text BARTHOLOMEW DANDRIDGE, THREE-QUARTER LENGTH PORTRAIT OF AN ARCHITECT, PROBABLY WILLIAM KENT (1685-1748), WEARING A GREEN COAT AND A RED TURBAN, OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNEDThe subject of this painting is probably the architect, painter and furniture designer William Kent (1685-1748). Particularly sought after by England’s most important families, he is behind the designs of Holkham Hall, Stowe House and Badminton House, and it is his drawing for the Villa of Chiswick House which introduces the Palladian style to the British public. The large size of the book that our model is holding allows us to postulate that it may be a copy of Leoni’s (1686-1746) Palladio, published in four volumes between 1715 and 1720. In the background on the right we can see a pyramid which, according to John Harris (circa 1666-1719), is a simplified version of the monument to the playwright William Congreve (1670-1729) which is at Stowe house (Kerslake, op. cit, p. 161, note 3). This monument, built in 1736, helps us to date our portrait, specifically placing it within the architect’s last decade of his life. Another smaller version of our painting is currently in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London (inv. NPG 1557).
