[POPE, ALEXANDER]--STUDIO OF MICHAEL DAHL

Portrait of Alexander Pope

oil on canvas, an oval

90.5 x 73.5 cm.; 35 5/8 x 29 in.

From the Studio of Michael Dahl. Dahl (1659-1743) was a Swedish portrait painter who spent the majority of his career living and working in England. Dahl studied and trained in the Studio of Godfrey Kneller (See Lot 60). Three other versions of this painting are known, all dated to the late 1720s, and none of which are clearly pre-eminent: in the National Portrait Gallery (inv. no. NPG 4132); in the collection of the University of Reading (inv. no. 10304); and a copy in the collection of the Earl of Pembroke at Wilton House. The portrait type was engraved by John Simon in 1728.
