PORTRAIT OF A FEMALE DIGNITARY
PORTRAIT OF A FEMALE DIGNITARY (CONTINENTAL SCHOOL, EAR...PORTRAIT OF A FEMALE DIGNITARY (CONTINENTAL SCHOOL, EARLY 17TH CENTURY) CIRCLE OF FRANS POURBUS THE YOUNGER
Oil on canvas, unsigned. Dated 1615 when the sitter was 28 years old, as indicated by the Latin inscription, the coats of arms probably those of Halsingland, Sweden. The subject in red dress with white collar meticulously adorned with lace; her right hand held to her chest holding a small pink carnation, a beribboned rosary spilling over a bible stationed at her right side, her left hand holding her gloves down at her side. Fine gold jewelry adorns her hands and a large, jeweled pendant hangs at her chest. The later ebonized, gothic style frame with the gilded date 1628 (probably a misinterpretation of the Roman numeral 28).
The sitter bearing resemblance to Constance of Austria who gave birth in January of 1616. Constance was a daughter of Charles II of Austria and Maria Anna of Bavaria. Her paternal grandparents were Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary (1503–1547). Anne was the only daughter of King Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary and his wife Anne de Foix. Her maternal grandparents were Albert V, Duke of Bavaria and Anne Habsburg of Austria. Constance was also a younger sister of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, Margaret of Austria, Leopold V of Austria and Anna of Austria. Her older sister Anna was the first wife of King Sigismund III Vasa, King of Sweden and Poland. After her sisters death Constance and Sigismund were married on December 11, 1605.
The final photo of the lot is a documented portrait painting of a young teenage Constance by Frans Pourbus the Younger. The pose, articles, and clothing bear a close resemblance.

Harriet Manigault archive,
Harriet Manigault archive, miniatures: (Harriet Manigault Wilcocks, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1793-1835), The Manigault name is among the most prominent in South Carolina and specifically Charleston history, society, politics and business. At his death in 1781, Gabriel Manigault I was listed as one of the three richest men in the country, having established his wealth through investments in rice plantations and slaves. Gabriel Manigault’s grandson and namesake continued developing the family’s wealth and interests after his father Peter’s death in 1773. It was Gabriel Manigault II (1758-1809) and his wife Margaret Izard, daughter of Ralph Izard, that decided to leave the heat of Charleston and relocate to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area. He purchased the then famous house “China Retreat”, renamed Clifton, and moved his family permanently so as to facilitate their social, business and health needs. Their fifth child, Henrietta, or Harriet, Manigault (1793-1835) grew into womanhood at “Clifton” enjoying the social season there and in Charleston, South Carolina. She sketched profiles of her close friends and family. Found in a drawer, this important intact archive of miniature portraits is a rare collection from one of the South’s most important families; accompanied by a copy of Manigault, The Diary of Harriet Manigault 1813-1816 , The Colonial Dames of America, Chapter II, 1976, with material compiled by Virginia and James S.
