A gentleman, called Lord Cowley, in blue coat, white waistcoat with red trim, tied cravat, powdered hair

oval, 2 5/16 in. (60 mm.) high, gold frame with diamond surround, the reverse engraved 'Portrait of Lord Cowley by Plimer.'

Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country. No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 17.5% will be added to the buyer's premium, which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

Specialist note

It would appear both the attribution of Plimer and identification of the sitter as Lord Cowley in the engraved inscription on the frame are erroneous. Henry Wellesley, 1st Earl Cowley was born in 1804.
