Lot 27

Description

After Sir Peter Paul Rubens, 
Flemish 1577-1640- 

Portrait of a young man in armour; 

oil on canvas, 60.5 x 48.6 cm. 

Provenance: 
Private Collection, UK. 

Note: 
The present portrait is a particularly striking copy after Rubens' original painting in the collection of the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego [1952:002]. The sitter is unknown, but it has been suggested that the portrait depicts William Lamport (1611/15-1659), a Catholic Irish adventurer who was known as Don Guillén de Lamport (or Lombardo) y Guzmán in Mexico. He attempted to lead a rebellion against the Spanish crown in 1642, for which he was tried for sedition by the Mexican Inquisition, and executed in 1659. He is celebrated in Mexico, and thought to be a possible inspiration for the character of Zorro.
