AFTER HENRY TILSON PORTRAIT OF SIR JOHN MAYNARD (CIRCA 1602 - 1690) WEARING ACADEMIC ROBES AND CAP Oil on canvas laid to board 123 x 100.5cm (48¼ x 39½ in.) Provenance: Possibly commissioned by Joanna Maynard for Adlington Hall, and thence by descent A full length version of this portrait, attributed to Henry Tilson (1659 - 1695), is kept the in National Trust Collection at Blickling Hall, Norfolk. This primary version is considered to have descended from Maynard's collection at Gunnersbury House to Blickling Hall by his Great-grandson John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckingham.By his first wife the sitter, Sir John Maynard had two sons, John and Joseph, and four daughters, Elizabeth, Honora, Johanna, and Martha. His third daughter, Johanna, married Thomas Legh of Adlington; Maynard survived all his children, except his youngest daughter, and devided his estates in trust for his granddaughters and their issue in tail by a will so obscure that to settle the disputes to which it gave rise a private act of parliament was passed in 1694, notwithstanding which it was made the subject of litigation in 1709. A speculative theory as to how a copy of the original composition found itself hung on the walls at Adlington Hall, could be that Sir John presented a version of the work to his daughter Johanna on occasion of her marriage to Thomas Legh.
