His son George Perfect Harding also specialised in watercolour copies of early portraits.

Jane Shore (c. 1445 - c. 1527) was one of the many mistresses of King Edward IV, the first of the three whom he described respectively as the merriest, the wiliest, and the holiest harlots in his realm. A petite woman of round face and fair complexion, she was more captivating by her wit and conversation than by her beauty, yet she was comely, too. Thomas More, writing when she was still alive, but old, lean, and withered, declared that even then an attentive observer might have discerned in her shriveled countenance some traces of its lost charms.

Jane Shore (c.1445-1527), mistress to Edward IV. Thomas More’s 'History of King Richard III' quotes Edward IV's claim to have had three concubines, ‘the merriest, the wiliest, and the holiest harlots in his realm’, Shore being the merriest. She enjoyed a considerable literary afterlife, as the subject of poems, ballads, historical novels, and plays; the most notable of the latter was Nicholas Rowe's Tragedy of Jane Shore, first produced in 1714. This is a copy of an anonymous painting in King's College, Cambridge, of which there is a near-identical painting at Eton College.

Jane Shore (c. 1445 - c. 1527), the first of the three mistresses of King Edward IV he described respectively as the 'merriest, the wiliest, and the holiest harlots in his realm'. A petite woman of round face and fair complexion, she was more captivating by her wit and conversation than by her beauty, yet she was comely, too. Thomas More, writing when she was still alive but old and withered, declared that even then an attentive observer might have discerned in her shriveled countenance some traces of its lost charms.

[Michael Tyson, 1780s]
Fine etching, platemark 210 x 165mm (8¼ x 6½") very large margins.
Jane Shore (1445?-1527), mistress to Edward IV. Much of what we know about her comes from Thomas More’s History of King Richard III, composed during the first two decades of the sixteenth century. More includes the story that Edward IV claims to have had three concubines, ‘the merriest, the wiliest, and the holiest harlot in his realm’, Shore being the merriest. She enjoyed a considerable literary afterlife, as the subject of poems, ballads, historical novels, and plays; the most notable of the latter was Nicholas Rowe's Tragedy of Jane Shore, first produced in 1714. One of several engravings made from an anonymous painting in King's College, Cambridge. A near-identical painting is at Eton College.

A portrait of Lady Dorothy Sidney, Countess of Sunderland (1617-1684), daughter of the Earl of Leicester and wife of Henry Spencer, 1st Earl of Sunderland. She was celebrated not only for her beauty but for wit, charm and intelligence. Spencer was killed at the First Battle of Newbury, leaving Dorothy with two children, and pregnant with a third, who died in infancy. In 1652 she remarried to Sir Robert Smythe of Bidborough, Kent. Her death is attributed to grief caused by her brother Algernon's trial and execution for treason.
