Rembrandt's Mistress.
Rembrandt's Mistress. From a celebrated Picture as large as the Life mnetioned particularly in the Life of Rembrandt. In the possesion of the Right Hon.b;e Lord Viscount Maynard.
Rembrandt pinx.t. R: Cooper del.t & sculp.t.
Publish'd as the Act directs June 30.th 1781. by Richard Cooper N.o 24 Edward Street Cav.sh Square.
Fine mezzotint, 18th century watermark; 330 x 225mm (13 x 8¾"), with large margins. Reapired tear top left margin. Some foxing.
A woman sits up in bed pulling back a curtain. After Rembrandt's painting 'A Woman in Bed' which currently resides in the Scottish National Gallery. It is widely agreed that the model for this painting was Rembrandt's partner Hendrickje Stoffels (1626-63). However the Scottish National Gallery think this is not a portrait of her but the subject is of the Old Testament Apocryphal Book of Tobit, and this is Tobias' wife Sarah on their wedding night cheering him on to defeat the demon Asmodeus.

In 1831 he introduced a new system of crossing rivers by means of chain ferries worked by steam, and in 1832 he constructed a floating bridge on this principle, crossing the Dart at Dartmouth. Between 1832 and 1834 similar floating bridges were erected at Torpoint and Saltash across the Tamar, which greatly facilitated the intercourse between Devon and Cornwall.

[after Humphry Repton.]
Published by J. Taylor, Feb 1. 1816.
Rare coloured aquatint with overlay. 230 x 320mm (9 x 11½). Trimmed into plate at sides.
The front of White Lodge, now the home of the Royal Ballet Lower School in Richmond Park. The name here refers to Prime Minister, Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth, who was given the lodge by George III and enclosed the lodge's first private gardens in 1805. Published in Humphry Repton's 'Fragments on the theory and practice of Landscape Gardening', the plate has a hinged overlay: when the slip is down Richmond Park's deer and cattle are shown coming up to the walls of the Lodge; lifting the slip reveals a promenade with formal gardens free from wildlife. Repton (1752-1818) was the last great English landscape designer of the C18th, who coined the term 'landscape gardener'. Regarded as the successor to Capability Brown, he worked at Blaise Castle, Woburn Abbey, Stoneleigh Abbey & the central gardens in Russell Square, but lost out on the Prince Regent's Brighton Pavilion to John Nash (although he published his designs).
