![[George Villiers.] Birmingham Aº 1624. [Top left]](jpegs/68867.jpg)
[George Villiers.] Birmingham Aº 1624. [Top left]
AVD [supposed monogram of Antony van Dyck]. [Engraved by Captain William Baillie.]
[n.d., c.1785.]
Proof before title stipple and etching . Sheet 310 x 210mm (12¼ x 8¼"). Trimmed within plate.
A half-length portrait of George Villiers (1592-1628) wearing a high, stiff lace collar and doublet with slashed sleeves, the jewel of the garter on a ribbon around his neck. The plate was engraved by Captain William Baillie (1723-1810) who ascribed it to van Dyke. However the drawing he copied, now in the British Museum (1862,0524.19), was by Lucas Vosterman, probably itself taken from a painting by Daniel Mytens. Baillie retired from the army in 1761 and devoted himself to printmaking and dealing. He specialised in imitating old-master drawings and prints, using a variety of printmaking techniques. Villiers was a royal favourite of Kings James I and Charles I who dominated early 17th-century English politics. His failure to win foreign wars, extreme extravagance, and monopolization of patronage created deep political tensions that fueled the pre-Civil War crises before his assassination in 1628.
