專家說明
Sir Thomas Tipping inherited the Wheatfield estate in Oxfordshire following the death of his grandfather in 1626. Just over ten years later he married Elizabeth Beconshaw, heiress of Moyles Court, Hampshire. The couple had sixteen children together, including Thomas Tipping (see lot 98), the father of Letitia Tipping (see lots 97 and 100). Tipping’s politics appear to have been aligned with the Parliamentarians during the civil war, but like many, his allegiances shifted again with the restoration of the monarchy and he was made Knight Bachelor by Charles II in June 1660. A striking portrait in the Tate Gallery, London by Gilbert Soest (inv. no. T04162) was perhaps painted to mark this honour.
