Lot 132 English School, c.1805 Portrait of a General officer in uniform miniature on ivory 7.1 x 5.7cm, oval, in a gold frame with blue enamel, plaited hair and vacant collets verso, tested as approximately 9ct gold £300 - 400 This is a portrait of a General officer of the period c.1805. His exact rank is determined by the arrangement of the buttons on his tunic and the chain pattern lace on the facings. The sitter’s buttons and lace are grouped in threes, as worn by a Lieutenant General. The curious black line across his brow looks to be an eye patch, albeit that the patch itself appears to be over the sitter’s right ear. This unusual arrangement may have been for reasons of both vanity and accuracy. We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with this catalogue entry. Lot 133 George Place (Irish, c.1755-c.1805) Portrait of Colonel Hutchinson, wearing a red uniform with white trimmed facings, 1799 signed and dated ‘G Place/1799’ l.l., and inscribed ‘Colonel Hutchinson’ verso, miniature on card 9.8 x 7.8cm, oval £400 - 600 Provenance: Bonhams London, 2 July 2001, lot 129.

When the plot was discovered after his disappearance, the family were arrested.

Louis Montjoye (1728-c.1815) As an horological expert, Montjoye’s name is often associated with some of the finest Louis XVI clocks. The son of Jacques and Marie-Madeleine née Langlois, he was apprenticed to Michel Mathurin Guery in 1736. In 1748 he was received as a Paris maitre at which date he moved from Quai Pelletier to rue Dauphine; 1758 saw him established at rue de la Vieille Draperie and 1772 at rue Galande. He lived well into old age and died c.1815 at Jouy-le-Chatel; his sons Louis II (d. before 1783) and Joseph-Bernard (d. after 1817) were both watch-case makers. Much of Montjoye’s work was supplied to the marchands-merciers, especially Pierre-Simon La Hoguette and Dominiqu Daguerre, and through them was acquired by such figures as the duc de Richelieu, the duchess de Mazarin, the marquise de Montesquiou, the comte de Vaudreuil and the Maergravine von Baden. Today examples of his work can be found among important collections including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Sahringen Museum Baden-Baden, the Huntington Collection San Marineo, California, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
