C.1850 Irish Sch. Oil Portrait Countess Of Wicklow
We are pleased to offer for sale this very well executed Irish School oval Oil Painting of Cecil Frances Howard, the Countess of Wicklow, by an unknown artist. The National Portrait Gallery has a mezzotint engraving of her after a painting by George Henry Harlow, engraved by William Say, engraver to Lord Clonmore. On Wikipedia, under her father's name, there is a picture of a black and red chalk drawing of Cecil Frances Hamilton at the age of 9 in 1804, by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
Cecil Frances Howard, nee Hamilton, was born on 17th July 1795 at Bentley Priory in Stanmore, and was baptised at St. Mary's Church in Harrow. She was the daughter of John James Hamilton, 9th Earl and 1st Marquess of Abercorn and his wife Lady Cecil Hamilton..
She married William Howard, (13/2/1788 - 22/3/1869) in India on 16th February, 1816, when he was Lord Viscount Clonmore. He later became the 4th Earl of Wicklow. Although there is no Census information available prior to 1841, we know that in 1822, they were living in Dublin, because that is where their second daughter Frances (1819-1892) was born. Their first daugher Anne Jane (1824-1909), who became Lady Milford in 1854 when she married Richard, Lord Milford, for only three years, until he died in 1857. She later married Thomas Joseph Eyre of Upper Court, Kilkenny and 16, Hill Street, Berkeley Square, London W.1.
Lady Frances of Deer Park, her younger daughter, married the Hon. Colin Lindsay (1819-1892) in 1845 and in 1891, they were living at 22 Elvaston Place, Kensington with 8 servants. They had a total of seven children.
William Howard became the 4th Earl of Wicklow om 1818 and was the Irish Representative Peer for Ireland from 1821, until his death in 1869 and, from 1831-1869 First Lord Lieutenant of Wicklow. The Countess of Wicklow died in 1860 in Brighton and was buried on 17th July in Stanmore in the churchyard of the Anglican church of St. John the Evangelist, where there is a plaque to her father on the brick remains of the earlier church, as well as other members of the family.
In the portrait, which must have been painted circa 1845-1855, the Countess is wearing a black day dress with a white lace collar over a black capelet tied with a long bow at the neck. She has a crucifix below the bow and, on a black ribbon around her neck, a gold locket or pendant with pink/red stones. Her brown hair, possibly tinged with grey, is parted in the centre and drawn down over her ears, and she is wearing a fancy black day cap with long gauzy strings.. She has brown eyes.
The painting is framed in an ornate, pierced, swept frame with a wooden, oval, gilt slip.
Image size: 21 3/4 x 19 5/8 inches - 55.25cm x 49.75cm
Frame size: 28 1/4 x 24 1/4 inches - 71.75cm x 61.55cm
Medium: Oils on rectangular canvas
Condition: The painting has been professionally relined in the past and is in very good condition for its age. The more contemporary frame is in very good condition as is the possibly original oval gilt slip.
