EDWARD HENRY CORBOULD RI (1815-1905), The Marquis of Waterford at the Eglinton Tournament August 31 1839, watercolour, signed bottom left with an artist's pallet enclosing the initials RI and dated 1894, inscribed with the title on the bottom right and 'painted expressly for Reginald Henry Pott Esq by E.H.C.: his father in law - aged 82, 1897', in an early glazed gilt gesso frame, 82cm; 32 1/4in x 59cm; 23 1/4in, Exhibited, The Victorian Era Exhibition, Earls Court, 1897, no. 209. The Eglinton Tournament was held at Eglinton Castle, Aryshire on 28th and 30th August 1839 and attracted around 100,000 people. It started with a procession accompanied by torrential rain which completely waterlogged the ground. The knights sheltered under a grand stand next to the lists which collapsed under the weight of water. However, the tournament continued with running at the quintain and tilting. The present picture records what was apparently the best tilt, that held between Lord Eglinton and Lord Waterford, after the second course when the former broke his lance. Much of the armour for Eglinton was supplied by the London art dealer Samuel Luke Pratt who worked at 47 New Bond Street. See K. Watts 1992, pp. 449-450. Edward Henry Corbould was appointed 'Instructor in Historical Painting' to the Royal Family in 1851. He taught a number of members of the family over the following twenty-one years and many of his best works were acquired by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and other members of the family. He produced a large number of illustrations for historical, biblical, and literary subjects, including Chaucer, Spencer and Shakespeare.
