Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/catalogueofportr00hawk_1 CATALOGUES OF PORTEAITS AT COMPTON PLACE AND AT BUNTED PABK, IN SUSSEX. By the Bight Honble. LOED HAWKESBUEY, F.S.A. 1903. The following Catalogues of Portraits, many of them of historical interest, are here printed in order to secure a record of them in the future ; for, as no regular catalogue exists, their identity is liable to be forgotten. I have been much indebted to Lady Louisa Egerton and to Mr. J. Cockerell, of East Bourne, for the kind help they have afforded me in connection with the portraits at Compton Place, and I also desire to express my thanks to Dr. George Williamson, of The Mount, Guildford, for his kindness with regard to the Catalogue of Miniatures at Devonshire House, and the great assistance he has given me in sending full particulars of them.

PORTRAITS AT COMPTON PLACE, SUSSEX. 5 East End. 5. Prince Charles Edward as a hoy, represented in armour, probably painted at Pome by L. G. Bla7icket or J. F. de Troy. 6. The Countess of Dorset, full length, in white satin, by Van Dyck. It appears to be uncertain which Countess of Dorset this isd The same portrait in the Van Dyck Poom at Windsor Castle is called Mary, wife of Edward, 4th Earl of Dorset, and daughter and heir of Sir George Curzon, who was married before 1612, and who died in August, 1645. At Knole it is, I believe, called Frances, wife of Pichard, 5th Earl of Dorset, and daughter of Lionel Cranfield, Earl of Middlesex. She was married before 1 638, and died about 1687. Here it has been thought possibly to represent the celebrated Anne Clifford, daughter of George, 3rd Earl of Cumberland, and wife, firstly, of Pichard, 3rd Earl of Dorset, who died in 1624, aged 35, and, secondly, of Philip, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery. She was born 1589-90, and died 22nd March, 1675-6, in her 87th year. 7. Prince Henry, afterwards Cardinal of York, a small portrait, pendant to No. 5, and evidently by the same artist. South Side. 8. Portrait of a Man, unknown, date 1630.

He was born 12th September, 1709, married on the 1st Ma}", 1740, Elizabeth Berkeley, sister and co-heir to Norborne, Lord Botetourt. {See No. 13 below.)

She died in June, 1740, and her husband, Sir Berkeley Lucy, on 19th November, 1759, both buried at Facombe. Their eldest 1 It seems most probable that this is the j)ortrait of Frances Cranfield, sister and heir of Lionel Cranfield, 3rd Earl of Middlesex, daughter of Ifionel, 1st Earl, by his second wife Anne, daughter of James Brett. She married, before 1638, Richard Sackville, who succeeded his father, in 1652, as 5th Earl of Dorset, and who died 27th August, 1677. She married, secondly, in June, 1679, as his second wife, the Right Hon. Henry Powle, of Williamstrip, co. G-loucester, some time Master of the Rolls, who died 21st November, 1692.

It was moved to Coopers, Cliiselhurst, when she went to live there with her son, Ivord Richard Cavendish, in 1862, and after his death, in 1873, it was brought back and replaced where it had previously been, in the panel over the dining room fireplace here. It was, I believe, painted by the son of Lord Lismore’ s coachman. 3 This x^ortrait has been thought to be that of 8arah, Duchess of Marlborough.
