- Lot Description
Western Europe, probably British, ca. 1828-1839. A beautiful 19th century British portrait of an elegant woman presented bust-length and wearing a stunning white gown with an Empire waist and a shawl cascading around her fitted bodice. The painter skillfully captured the youth and beauty of this sitter. Her visage is exquisite, comprised of a peachy complexion, rosy cheeks, red bow-shaped lips, an aquiline nose, arched brows framing her big blue eyes, and a lovely updo of brunette curled tresses. The landscape in the background conveys nature's potential for romantic theatricality with its dramatic shadows, rich dark hues, and dynamic brushwork to convey movement. All is mounted in an antique gilded frame embellished with fret patterns as well as leaf and berry motifs. Size (sight view): 29.5" L x 24.5" W (74.9 cm x 62.2 cm) Size (frame): 37.625" L x 32.625" W (95.6 cm x 82.9 cm)
Please note: There is a Roberson & Miller stamp on the verso of the canvas. Charles Roberson had a partnership with Thomas Miller, operating as Roberson & Miller from 1828 to 1839 at 51 Long Acre in London. According to the National Portrait Gallery, UK, "Roberson & Miller's trade sheet listed watercolours in cakes and in boxes, Roberson & Miller's prepared lead pencils, drawing papers etc, bladder colours for oil painting, 'prepared cloths and tickens', prepared panels and millboards, 'hatchment cloths', chalks, 'brushes and pencils', varnishes, oils and sundries. " Artists who used Roberson & Miller's colors included Andrew Plimer, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Hamilton Kerr and Samuel Palmer. In addition, Roberson & Miller canvases were used by J.M.W. Turner. Australian artists of the day also favored supplies from Roberson & Miller.
