This work formed part of the collection of family pictures and heirlooms of the Barons de Saumarez family at their magnificent 1,400-acre manor, Shrubland Park, near Ipswich, England. The manor was considered amongst the finest Italianate country homes in Britain and the family held the estate for over 200 years (from 1798) until it was sold in 2006 thus marking the end of an era.
The first recorded owner of the estate was Robert de Shrubeland, although there is evidence of occupation on the site since the Roman period. The previous Tudor-style Shrubland Hall was built by the Booth family in the early 16th century. The present Grade II listed hall was built in the 1770’s for the Revd. John Bacons. The property changed hands a few times until it was purchased in 1798 by Sir William Fowle Middleton, 1st Baronet. It descended from him to the 7th Baron de Saumarez, Eric Saumarez who sold the property in 2006 following the death of Lord ...de Saumarez''s father in 1991 and his mother, Lady de Saumarez, in 2004. The property was one of finest stately halls, with spectacular gardens and more than 1,300 acres. The equal, it was said, was Queen Victoria’s Osborne House on the Isle of Wight.
Baron de Saumarez, of the Island of Guernsey, is a title in the peerage of the United Kingdom created on 15 September 1831 for the naval commander Admiral Sir James Saumarez, 1st Baronet. The ancestral family seat was at Le Guet, Castel, on the island of Guernsey, with a second seat at Shrubland Park. The Saumarez Manor estate in Guernsey belongs to a senior line of the family from which the Barons de Saumarez are descended: Matthew de Sausmarez (1718–1778), father of the first baron, was the younger brother of John (1706–1774), of Sausmarez Manor.

Sir Peter Lely’s character and art dominated the art world of the second half of the seventeenth century in England. Everyone of consequence in his age sat to him, and it is in his portraits that we form our conception of English portraiture during the Protectorate and years following the Restoration.
He was the son of a Dutch military officer, and was born in Germany at Soest in Westphalia in 1618. He studied in Haarlem before moving to London in 1641, and in 1647 he became a freeman of the Painter-Stainers’ Company. Initially, Lely painted landscapes, religious, and mythological scenes, however, he quickly recognised the strength of the English market for portraiture and this is where he turned his attention. He was employed by the Duke of Northumberland, who had the royal children in his care, and he was able to study the Northumberland Collection of works by Van Dyke and Dobson. By the end of the Commonwealth, he had become the best-known portraitist in England. In 1661 he was appointed Principal Painter to the King and from then on he maintained a busy and successful practice painting the most elite and influential members of the court and of everyone of importance. His studio was prolific and employed many assistants, as was the common studio method. His success thus meant that he established the basic English portrait style for decades.
Lely was a connoisseur and was known for his own fine art collection. By the end of his life he had assembled one the finest non-princely collections in Europe including more than 25 of Van Dyke’s major English works, Old Masters including Veronese, Titian, Claude Lorrain and Rubens, and a fabulous collection of drawings.
