Thomas Beach (1739-1806) - Portrait of Hannah Hass

18th century
For Sale by Period Portraits
Description

A fine 18th century English portrait attributed to the celebrated portrait artist Thomas Beach (1739-1806)

The attractive young sitter is pictured half length within a sculpted cartouche with her body inclined to the left away, with her eyes averted away from the viewer, she appears lost in thought.

Hannah wears the lavish froth, frills and pale shades which show the influence of Rococo style. She wears a pale silver silk gown with a loose pleated back of the French ‘Saque-back’ style. Also called a ‘Watteau Pleat’ – after the work of the famous Rococo master – the wide fold of fabric falling free from her shoulders can just be glimpsed.

The lace that is just seen cascading from her cuff are termed ‘engageants’ and her ruched sleeves held in place by pearl drops. Her raven hair is curled and worn elegantly upwards and she is without jewellery save for a simple black ribbon worn at her elegant neck.

This fine painting is offered ready to hang and enjoy in a later fine quality antique style frame.

Thomas Beach Beach was born in Milton Abbas, Dorchester in 1738. During the years 1760-1762 he was a student of Joshua Reynolds. He was a member of the Society of Artists and later settled at the resort of Bath where he was much in demand for his portraits.

He held exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts during the 1780''s and 90''s. He painted famous characters such as actors Sarah Siddons and John Kemble. His portraits are in museum collection tins worldwide including the National Portrait Gallery in London.

FAQs

Georgian portraiture from the 18th century features realistic depictions of individuals, utilizing oil paint to capture texture and light against dark, subtle backgrounds.

Artists painted with oil pigment on hand-stretched linen or cotton canvas, often mounting the finished work inside timber frames coated in gold leaf or gilt composition.

Authentic pieces exhibit age-appropriate craquelure patterns across the paint surface, hand-hewn wooden stretcher bars, and natural oxidisation on the reverse of the canvas.

Position the artwork centrally above a mantelpiece or sideboard to create a focal point within traditional or eclectic interior spaces.

Keep the painting away from direct sunlight and heat sources while maintaining stable room humidity to prevent canvas distortion and paint flaking.
