Object history

UNKNOWN provenance and UNKNOWN current location (possibly still in private collection of Lord Clinton). Not disclosed by bridgemanart, source of this image. Attributed today to Thomas Hudson, but in 1932 to Joshua Reynolds. Thomas Hudson portraits of his brother Denys Rolle and the latter's wife (Chichester) exist, as does also a portrait by Hudson of his sister Christiana Maria Rolle. This is the highest quality and thus the original portrait. A version of this portrait, probably the original, was loaned in 1932 by Lord Clinton of Bicton, Devon (the heir of the Rolle family) to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, for the "Exhibition of Works by Early Devon Painters", catalogued as no.56, "by Sir Joshua Reynolds". Two clearly inferior versions of this portrait exist:

1) File:JohnRolleWalterAfterHudson.png (Inferior copy, accurately copied) Last sold at Christie's, King St, London, 15 June 2001 sale no.6463, lot 23, £17,625, "attributed to Thomas Hudson", provenance described (possibly confusedly) as "By descent to Lord Clinton, Bicton, Devon" & "Previously sold Christie's, London, 22 November 1985, lot 107, £2,600 as 'Thomas Hudson'". Christie's, LotFinder: entry 2076056

2)File:JohnRolleWalterExeterGuildhall.png

Very inferior copy in collection of Exeter Guildhall (2013), presented (and thus likely commissioned also as a copy from his original) by the sitter's nephew, John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle (d.1842) of Stevenstone & Bicton.
