We are delighted to offer this large oil painting on canvas by " follower of " artist Sir Thomas Lawrence and which dates to around c1800
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE
Sir Thomas Lawrence PRA FRS (13 April 1769 – 7 January 1830) was a leading English portrait painter and the fourth president of the Royal Academy.
Lawrence was a child prodigy. He was born in Bristol and began drawing in Devizes, where his father was an innkeeper. At the age of ten, having moved to Bath, he was supporting his family with his pastel portraits. At eighteen he went to London and soon established his reputation as a portrait painter in oils, receiving his first royal commission, a portrait of Queen Charlotte, in 1790. He stayed at the top of his profession until his death, aged 60, in 1830.
Self-taught, he was a brilliant draughtsman and known for his gift of capturing a likeness, as well as his virtuoso handling of paint. He became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1791, a full member in 1794, and president in 1820. In 1810 he acquired the generous patronage of the Prince Regent, was sent abroad to paint portraits of allied leaders for the Waterloo chamber at Windsor Castle, and is particularly remembered as the Romantic portraitist of the Regency. Lawrence's love affairs were not happy (his tortuous relationships with Sally and Maria Siddons became the subject of several books) and, in spite of his success, he spent most of life deep in debt. He never married. At his death, Lawrence was the most fashionable portrait painter in Europe. His reputation waned during Victorian times, but has since been partially restored.
.............................................................................................................
The painting is a half length portrait of a young officer in the 20th Regiment of Foot, the East Devonshires.
His hair is powdered, (the use of powder was abolished in the army in 1808) and is wearing the crescent shaped metal gorget on his chest denoting that he is an officer (gorgets were abolished in 1831).
We have researched the uniform of the 20th Foot and this appears to be correct.
The 20th Regiment of Foot, was raised in 1688 as Sir Richard Peyton's Regiment of Foot.
In 1751 it became the 20th Regiment of Foot until 1782, when its name was changed to the 20th East Devonshire Regiment of Foot and this it remained until 1881.
After this date it became The Lancashire Fusiliers and after 2012 it was incorporated into the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
The painting is unsigned and the sitter unknown, however, in our opinion, the canvas is contemporary to the period of the sitter.
FRAME
The painting has been newly framed in a 3 1/2" ornate, swept, gilt frame and will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
MEASUREMENTS
Frame size: 36.5 Inches x 30.5 Inches
CONDITION
Very good Commensurate with age.
