SOLD....Portrait of 'Miss Penelope Johnson' c. 1775, by Thomas Hickey

Oil on canvas in 18th c carved and giltwood frame An excellent portrait of Penelope Johnson, an attractive and fashionably dressed young lady, painted c.1775 by Thomas Hickey. The sitter is within a feigned oval and in the background is a large country house in its estate; an elaborate bridge is visible to the foreground. THOMAS HICKEY (1741 - 1824) was born in Dublin, he studied under Benjamin West at Dublin Society Schools 1753-6, winning prizes. He travelled to Italy c.1760-6, returning to Dublin in 1767 where he exhibited 1768-70. He moved to London and entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1771, exhibiting at the RA 16 times between 1772 and 1792. In 1778 Hickey was working in Bath then embarked for India in 1780, but the ship was captured by the French en route and he was released at Cadiz. He proceeded by land to Lisbon, where he worked successfully 1782-4 before continuing on to India, arriving in Bengal in 1784. He took a large, handsome house in the most fashionable part of Calcutta and established a thriving business. Hickey returned to England in June 1791; he was portrait painter to Lord Macartney's expedition to China 1792-4. Probably in Dublin in 1796, returning to India in 1798, where he had a successful portrait practice until his death; he was buried in Madras 20 May 1824. Examples of Hickey's work are in the major public collections. SIZE: 37 x 32 inches inc. frame. PROVENANCE: a London Private Collection

SOLD....Portrait of a Young Girl c.1700; Circle of Robert Byng

Oil on canvas in a 19th c. gilt frame of 17th c. 'cassetta' type. A charming portrait of a pretty young girl by a member of the Circle of Robert Byng. The sitter is holding a variegated tulip, which, in the Language of Flowers, symbolises 'beautiful eyes'; the large rose, of course, is the symbol of love. The basket of flowers together also represent the beauty and fleeting quality of youth. The girl wears a Classical robe, to her right a draped curtain and to her left the landscape of Arcadia...the mythical world so fashionable at the time. This artist, strongly influenced by Byng's noted portraits of children, lacks the technical sophistication of his master, especially in the stylised treatment of the drapery. However there is a strong sense of a painterly delight in using the medium - especially in some of the impasto in the drapery which contrasts pleasingly with the gently painted face. The painting has a strong appeal and is an endearing image of an attractive young girl. Robert Byng (1666 - 1720) was born in Wiltshire, but is buried in Oxford where he died in 1720, having lived there since before 1714. He was a pupil of,and very strongly influenced by, Sir Godfrey Kneller (Principal Painter to the King and the most distinguished Baroque portraitist in England). Byng's earliest dated portraits are c.1697; one of his younger brothers, Edward, was drapery painter to Kneller and his principal assistant.
