ABOUT THE ARTIST
FREDERICK RICHARD SAY 1804 - 1868)
Was a notable society portrait painter in London between about 1830 and 1860, undertaking commissions for portraits of many famous and important figures such as Earl Grey, Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington and the Royal family.
Emily Calmady was marriied in 1816 to a gentleman named Charles-Biggs Calmady ( b.1791 ) of Langdon Hall County of Devon.
Emily nee-Greenwood Calmady's father,was William Greenwood Esq,a builder from Brookwood Hampshire,who is shown depicted with his grandaughter,when she was aged just 10 years old.ABOUT GRANDAUGHTER CYCILL-CHRISTIANA
In 1854 Cycill Christiana married William Frederick Collier.The Collier family in the early 19th century resided in Plymouth,but by the end of the century had acquired Woodtown in the parish of Sampford Spinney.
The Collier family are presently the most direct decendants of the Calmady line.
CONDITION
The portrait has been wax re-lined and professionally cleaned and lightly revarnished,but retaining all the original painted surfaces.
Due to age there are signs of crackleture in the fleshy areas of the arms and faces,consistant with age and normally seen with most paintings to some degree on closer inspection,but much less obvious from a reasonable distance,especially when the portrait is seen under a bright picture light.
