19th century
For Sale by Period Portraits
Description

STUDIO OF SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE P.R.A (1769 - 1830) - PORTRAIT OF MISS THAYER.

Studio of Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A. (1769-1830) - PORTRAIT OF MISS THAYER.

Portrait of Miss Thayer half-length, in a white dress velvet jacket and drapery, a window behind her.

Sir Thomas Lawrence (13 April 1769 – 7 January 1830) was an English portrait painter and collector. He was the finest portrait painter of his generation in Europe and the last English inheritor of the legacy of van Dyck. His technical facility and rapid and enormous public success should not obscure the originality and self-consciousness of his imagination. He also formed a superb collection of Old Master drawings. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and became its fourth president in 1820.

 

Lawrence''s influence on British portraiture is evident in the works of artists like Thomas Phillips, Margaret Sarah Carpenter and David Wilkie who adopted his techniques and stylistic choices. 

 

The present picture is a hitherto unrecorded studio version after the original recorded portrait of a Miss Thayer ( NPG Heinz Library)

This fine work is in excellent condition and is offered ready to hang and enjoy in its original hand carved and gilded frame, which is itself a work of art.

FAQs

Regency era portraiture, prominent during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is defined by romanticised representations, fluid brushwork, and elegant lighting, often capturing sitters in high-waisted Empire attire against dramatic or muted backdrops.

Fine art portraits of this era were typically executed in oil paints on natural flax or linen canvas, mounted onto wooden stretchers, and framed in hand-carved, gilded wooden moulding.

Authentic pieces often display age-appropriate craquelure across the paint layer, historical canvas lining or stretcher marks, period water gilding techniques, and original hardware on the reverse.

A period portrait serves as an exceptional focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, creating a sophisticated contrast against contemporary neutral walls or complementing classical dark-wood furniture.

Preserve oil paintings by hanging them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, maintaining stable humidity levels, and relying exclusively on professional art conservators for cleaning and varnish restoration.
