Oil on canvas 128 x 103 cm. (50 3/8 x 40 1/2 in) Provenance: Professor Bernard Nevill West House, Glebe Place; Sale. Christie’s SK, Sunday Sale, 31st July 2011, lot 201; Private European collection. Diana Cecil, Countess of Oxford (1596-1654), was the third daughter of William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Exeter (1566-1640) and Elizabteh Stafford (d.1599). In 1624 Diana Cecil married Henry de Vere, 18th Earl of Oxford (1593-1625). An early portrait of Lady Diana Cecil was executed in 1614 by William Larkin (c.1580s-1619), and shows the sitter full-length in an elegant dress in a luxurious interior. A closely related variant painting of Diana Cecil, attributed to Van Dyck, is held at Weston Park (see Dining Room at Weston Park no. 101.0091). The present portrait is also related to a portrait of Diana Cecil by Van Dyck, executed circa 1638, held in the Musei Nacional del Prado (see inv. no.: P01481). Like the Prado portrait Cecil is shown beside an outcrop of rock, but rather than wearing a black dress the sitter is shown in a white silk gown with a blue wrap; similarly the placement of Cecil's hands are also at odds with the Prado portrait.
