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 portraiture is characterised by fluid brushwork, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and subjects dressed in high-waisted empire-line fashion, heavily influenced by prominent court painters of the early 19th century.

Artists during this era primarily employed hand-ground oil pigments suspended in linseed oil, applied onto stretched flax linen canvas and sealed with natural tree resin varnishes.

Identification involves analyzing period-accurate canvas weave, age-related craquelure patterns in the paint layers, hand-cut wooden stretcher frames, and stylistic alignment with historical studio methods.

A historical portrait functions as a focal point when hung above a fireplace mantelpiece or sideboard, creating visual contrast when set against clean-lined contemporary furniture.

Keep the painting away from direct sunlight and active heat sources, maintain steady ambient humidity, and dust gently using a soft, dry natural-bristle brush.
