SOLD...Portrait of a Midshipman c.1810; Circle of Sir Thomas Lawrence |
| Oil on canvas in original Neo-Classical frame.
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE (1769-1830) was the most remarkable British portrait painter of his day. He became an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1791, Member in 1794 and President in 1820. In 1792 he was made Painter to the King. Lawrence's work epitomised the Regency style.
This sensitive yet bravura portrait of a young Royal Naval officer painted during the Napoleonic War is typical of Lawrence's dramatic style; the background a windswept cloudiness, the sable curls on the forehead, the parted lips and brilliant eyes which were to indicate 'the more private sensibilities of the heart'.
Lawrence overcame the restrictions of the head and shoulders portrait by infusing it with a dynamic and sensual movement - a sense of drama for dramatic times.
This is apparent in every aspect, from the turn of the sitter's neck and the tousled 'Classical Roman' hairstyle - all revealing the debt to, and interest in, Classical sculpture and form which defined the taste of the age. This is a memorable painting of a very young naval officer whose chosen career was one of great danger.
There is an urgency to the image and the unspoken drama that the sitter conveys is intensified by the lowering, stormy sky, and the picture communicates a romantic sensibility that can truly be labelled Byronic.
PROVENANCE: a private collection. |

SOLD....Portrait of the Calmady Children c.1825; after Sir Thomas Lawrence |
| Oil on panel.
A portrait of Emily (1818-1906) and Laura Anne Calmady (1820-1894); they were the children of Charles Calmady of Langdon Court in Devonshire.
This is a faithful and highly skilled contemporary copy of Lawrence's original of 1824 - possibly painted by his Studio, as the original was a huge success and desired by many.
The original, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, was shown at the Royal Academy and engraved under the title 'Nature'. It has always been one of Lawrence's most popular works; he described it as "my best picture...one of the few I should wish hereafter to be known by".
It is painted with Lawrence's usual brilliance, with bright whites, clear colours and an evocative landscape, and has been celebrated for its happy evocation of childhood exuberance.
Whoever was the unknown artist who painted this copy, whether a member of Lawrence's Studio or an independent, he has perfectly captured Lawrence's beautiful image with real talent and fidelity.
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE P.R.A. (1769-1830) was the most remarkable British portrait painter of his day.
After attending the R.A. Schools he showed his first portrait in 1768. In 1792 he was made Painter to the King. Greatly talented and very successful he was made an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1791, a Member in 1794 and became President of the R.A. in 1820.
His portraits were masterpieces of the new Romantic style...and 'The Calmady Children' is perhaps his finest.
SIZE: image - 11 inches diameter.

SOLD....Portrait of Thomas Robinson; 17th c. English School |
| Oil on canvas in good quality 18th c. carved and giltwood frame; the sitter painted within a feigned oval.
Bears the inscription 'Thomas Robinson of Rookby Park in the County of York Esq' below the Robinson coat of arms. To the bottom left the numeral '4' (probably an old inventory number).
Upper left, faintly visible, another Robinson armorial bearing, painted over. Before buying Rokeby from Sir Thomas Rokeby in 1610 the Robinsons lived for generations at the White Hall, Kendal. Rokeby Park (which is actually just across the Yorkshire border in County Durham) was rebuilt in the 18th c. as a Palladian mansion.
In the 19th c. Sir Walter Scott wrote his epic ballad 'Rokeby' there. THOMAS ROBINSON was born in 1590, son of William and Mary Robinson (daughter of Thomas Hill of Thornton, Yorks). He had a brother John (who became Vicar of Burminster, Yorks) and a sister Catherine (who married firstly Percival Philips and secondly Richard Smith). Thomas married at Rokeby in 1621, his wife was Francis, daughter of Leonard Smelt of Kirkby Fleetham, Yorks; they had eight children.
Thomas was a barrister and in the Civil War he supported Parliament, believing right was on their side. At his own expense he raised the Private Parliamentary Army;in June 1643 he was killed by the Royalists in a skirmish at Leeds. Presumably this was in the build-up to the Battle of Adwalton Moor near Leeds on June 30 when the Earl of Newcastle's army smashed the Parliamentary forces under Sir Thomas Fairfax.
SIZE: 36.5 x 31.75 inches inc. frame. PROVENANCE: by descent through the family.
