17th century French School (circa 1705), oil on canvas, James Radcliffe Third Earl of Derwentwater. 86 cm x 79 cm and inscribed verso Levrac Tourniers (see illustration). James Radcliffe (1689-1716) was the eldest son of Lady Mary Tudor (an illegitimate daughter of Charles II by Mol Davis) and Edward Radcliffe Second Earl of Derwentwater. James was a Jacobite brought up in France as a companion to the young prince James Francis Stuart (son of deposed James II of England/James VII of Scotland). He returned from France in 1709 having succeeded to his father's titles and estates in Cumberland and Northumberland in 1705. This particular depiction of the Third Earl is recognised to be French for the very reason it was painted whilst he was in exile and because his wig is knotted in a manner peculiar to that period. During the 1715 Rebellion he was caught and ultimately executed for his part in it.
