Copper engraving. Plate 350 x 247mm. 13¾ x 9¾".
Anne Carr, Countess of Bedford (1620-1684) was wife to William, Duke of Bedford and daughter or Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset and Frances Howard. According to Burke's Peerage, she was born in 1615 in the Tower of London, but other sources give 1620. Lombart's most famous work was the series of twelve portraits after van Dyck that he engraved around 1660, often known as the 'Countesses' from the Latin of their titles. Mariette in his entry on Lombart in his Abecedario stated that this set alone would suffice to place him 'au rang des premiers graveurs'. All twelve plates are the same size, and show three-quarter-length figures, ten women and two men, in 15mm wide borders that imitate frames of the period.

London, Sold by J.Bowles. [n.d. c.1725.]
Rare mezzotint, sheet 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾"). Trimmed to plate, glued on album sheet at edges.
Almost half-length portrait of John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville (1690-1763), in an oval. Looking towards the viewer, wearing robes trimmed with fur, a broad white fur collar, plain white cravat, cape tied to left shoulder with a large bow, and long wig. Below a crest with the motto 'Loyal Devior'. Carteret was appointed ambassador-extraordinary to Sweden in 1719, a position in which he triumphed by rescuing the Swedes (facing disaster following the death of Charles XII) from domination by Russia. During his absence, however, the rise of Robert Walpole resulted in Carteret's being sidelined through a transfer to the lord lieutenancy of Ireland. Carteret's opposition to Walpole was a leitmotif of his career.
