GILBERT JACKSON, PORTRAIT OF A MAN, PERHAPS A MEMBER OF THE POULETT FAMILY, FULL-LENGTH, NEXT TO A DRAPPED TABLE, OIL ON CANVAS

This magnificent portrait is a perfect example of the work of Gilbert Jackson (c. 1595/1600-after 1648), a rare example of a British born artist working in England at the first half of the Seventeenth Century, when painters of the Netherlandish school such Cornelius Johnson (1593-1661) and Daniel Mytens (1590-1648) were growing in popularity. As the present portrait demonstrates, his was a style with its roots in the linear, emblematic tradition of Elizabethan portraiture. Although we cannot be sure of the identity of the sitter, his elaborate costume and accessories act as the crucial indicators of his rank. It is possible that he may be related to four brothers whose portraits are attributable to Jackson. Three were formerly in the collection of the Earl Poulett at Hinton St George (Sotheby’s, London, 5 March 1969, lot 1) and a fourth was later sold at Christie's, London (26 April 1985, lot 81). As well as the clear family resemblance between the boys and the present sitter, their representation in terms of costume and pose is strikingly similar.
