Jewel in the Hand: Early Portrait Miniatures from Noble and Private Collections an Insight
Explore some key highlights from our exhibition 'Jewel in the Hand: Early Portrait Miniatures from Noble and Private Collections' which runs from 12 March until 18 April 2019 at Philip Mould & Company 18 - 19 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5LU. This exhibition has gathered 30 of the finest portrait miniatures produced in England between 1570-1620 housed in noble and private collections for generations. Many of the works that will be on display at Philip Mould & Company are not ordinarily on view to the public and a select few have never been publicly exhibited. Hidden away and fiercely guarded in private collections, in some cases for centuries, Jewel in the Hand marks a rare opportunity to gaze upon relics of the Elizabethan and Jacobean Courts.

I am blown away by Isaac Oliver’s technique for the lace! Wishing I was as erudite with words as you, Philip, as I cannot believe the intricateness of detail depicted by color and thickness and wish I could express myself better. Stunned.
Remarkable work! The control and technique required to produce these portraits is hard to comprehend. Beautiful
Philip is such an articulate and knowledgeable man, I could listen to him endlessly.
Those artisans were incredible! So much intricate works... and it was done on extremely tiny surface
Wonderous works ~ thank you for bringing them to us X
Fascinating video, thank you so much for the way ye present with wonderful knowledge and emotion

Wonderful

so very beautiful
-Excellent!
Cool.i love old stuff .
Philip. I adore your content. Please make sure that whoever is producing it records it or loads it to KZread louder than it needs to be. One can turn the volume down however in many cases it is not possible to hear your dulcet tones without putting you on a speaker that is amplified. Please do better, or at least as well as your charming ability demonstrates itself. Thank you.
I saw the National Portrait Gallery exhibition of miniatures last May 2019 with Hilliard and others. Incredible works of watercolour on vellum in lovely little lockets and frames. Nice to see similar ones here close up.
Would not the rather masculine dress in the second portrait be a riding habit as the court was always taking part in hunts?
Why don't they think the first one depicts QE1, herself? The person looks similar and is even wearing QE1's own necklace...

I think the same ! It has to bei QE1 ! Not only the necklace and the face. That amazing cloth ! So expensive and exquisite!

The transition from "We think", "It's possible", and "Perhaps this is derived" to "Of all the portraits of Edward, surely this portrait miniature is one of the most intimate" feels more like Game Theory than actual provenance.
Isn't she Elisabeth I herself?
5:39 ... "flinged" ?

Yeh Corrie, 'flinged' is the Latin derivation of 'Flung' translated into Spanish by a Japanese choreographer from a Greek parable by a Germany narrator...though I may be wrong....
Quite beautiful yourself

Why spend so much time wandering off of the item of importance? Sure, let's see the expert who is talking but stay focused and centered on the item. Please. So much on the table cloth?
Flinged?
I wonder if it has to be a lady of the court? Vanity or playfulness might subtend a desire to present a poor woman in the guise of wealth. Consider "Girl With A Pearl Earring" thought to be a housemaid caught trying on what belongs to her master's wife. What differentiates provenance from story? Verifiabilty.
