Sir Godfrey Kneller
(Lübeck 1646–1723 London)
Portrait of a noblewoman,
oil on canvas, 128 x 80 cm, framed
We are grateful to Brian Allen for suggesting the attribution on the basis of a photograph. Kneller’s most famous works include the Hampton Court Beauties, a cycle of ten portraits painted at the court of King William III. It had been commissioned from Kneller by Queen Mary in response to Lely’s series of the Windsor Beauties. In his portraits, Kneller conceived a female type that became influential for depictions of young, beautiful women. As is illustrated by the present picture, Kneller only referred to contemporary fashion for the hairstyles of his sitters, who otherwise present themselves in a timeless, classical guise. In the late 17th century, Kneller was England’s most popular portraitist. He painted not only the likenesses of members of the Royal Family and the nobility, but also such foreign potentates as King Charles IV of Spain.
