Summary
A nineteenth century, English, frame with corner decoration for a portrait (NT/PET/P/451) by Philip de Koninck (1619-1688) of an unknown woman holding a rosebud.
Provenance
First recorded in the G.Bicker van Zwieten sale, The Hague, 12 April 1741 and bought by van Olden. On 15 November 1802 five paintings sold to the 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837) by William Devreux including this one. Thence by descent, until the death in 1952 of the 3rd Lord Leconfield, who had given Petworth to the National Trust in 1947, and whose nephew and heir, John Wyndham, 6th Lord Leconfield and 1st Lord Egremont (1920-72) arranged for the acceptance of the major portion of the collections at Petworth in lieu of death duties (the first ever such arrangement) in 1956 by H.M.Treasury.
