A pair of portraits with a distinguished provenance to the Earls of Carlisle at Castle Howard in North Yorkshire star in Lawrences of Crewkerne’s April 7 sale in Somerset.
Depicting the 3rd and 5th Earls, the duo was gifted to the vendor’s father by Geoffrey Howard, the 5th Earl’s son. The recipient was a kinsman and direct descendant of the 9th Earl, George James Howard (1843-1911).
