The Coronation Banquet of King George II, an unmounted fanleaf the centre etched in outline and illuminated in watercolour, bodycolour and gold, the reserves elaborately decorated with a deep crimson frame and with crowns, orbs and septres, extended on a matching mount to a rectangle - 9in. x 18.25in (23.3 x 46.3cm.) - English, 1727 - framed and glazed

The etched outline has a tentative line and many of the figures are slightly delineated: this is because the leaf was intended to be coloured as elaborately as this one. There is another leaf Schreiber mounted 2 and csk 14th February 1995 lot 156 which has the whole leaf engraved and which was intended to be coloured in wash. They must be from different plates as the fenestration differs and the roof is visible in the second.
The scene shows Westminster Hall with Lewis Dymoke, The Champion of England, throwing down a gauntlet challenging any man who denies the King's right to his throne.
