Att. George Clint, Portrait Of Lydia Augusta Allen
A beautiful portrait of Lydia Augusta Allen (1810-1890) wearing a sumptuous black dress, gold bracelet, and small purple rose.
Lydia hailed from Leamington in Leicestershire and married John Roy Allen (1798-1875), a Cambridge-educated barrister from Somerset. Following their wedding, John Roy began plans for a large marital home in Taunton, which became known as Lyngford House. This quirky building (completed around 1844) had a central octagonal stairwell hall with a cantilevered stair - so it was far from the norm.
Lyngford was one of several properties owned by John Roy and Lydia also spent time at Gatchell House, Trull. For more information on these buildings, please visit .
Together, the couple had six children, five of whom were boys.
The portrait was probably completed in around 1835, just a few years after Lydia’s wedding. It’s been superbly rendered with a Joshua Reynolds’ style classical landscape providing a rich backdrop to the image.
The artist, George Clint RA (1770-1854), first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1802 and was generally known as a painter of theatrical subjects. Several of the landed gentry sat for him including Lord Suffield and his family, Lord Egremont, Lord Essex, and Lord Spencer. One of his works, ‘Falstaff relating his valiant exploits’ is currently at the Tate Gallery.
The canvas is housed within a coved Victorian-style reeded frame with decorative inner and outer borders.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 41½” x 33” / 106cm x 84cm
Year of creation: c. 1835
Provenance: England
Condition: Areas of craquelure but generally in beautiful condition throughout following its light restoration. Canvas relined.
Artist’s auction highlight: £8,370 achieved at Christie’s, USA, in 1995 for ‘The Leicestershire Lass’. Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England. Established in 2017, our clients include private collectors and interiors designers throughout the UK, USA and Canada.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
