- Lot Description
(British, 1750-1805)
as Fidelity, after the engraving by C. White, after 1786, unsigned, watercolor, gouache, and graphite on paper, oval 4-3/8 x 6-1/2 in.; gilt wood frame, eglomise mat, 7-3/4 x 9-7/8 in.
Note: Daniel Gardner was born in Westmorland and probably studied under George Romney in Kendal and again in London during the 1760s. From 1770-72, he was a student at the Royal Academy Schools and won a silver medal for figure drawing in 1771 and exhibited at the RA for the first time that same year. About 1772 he studied in Sir Joshua Reynold's studio. His association and friendship with both Romney and Reynolds led to valuable society introductions and he soon became a fashionable and successful portrait painter. Unlike most other leading portrait artists, who worked in oil, Gardner developed his own medium, a combination of gouache, watercolor, pastel and oils-the first three being combined in a single work, as seen in this fine study for a portrait of Lady Katherine Paulet (later Countess of Darlington, d. 1842), eldest daughter of Harry, 6th Duke of Bolton. The work shows Katherine with her pet spaniel, reclining in a wooded glade with her right elbow resting on a small boulder. The portrait was later engraved in stipple by C. White and published in 1786 by James White. A graphite study on vellum is also known of this portrait. His portraits of children are especially notable for their warm and sentimental treatment and it is perhaps the uniqueness of his medium that heightened his success in such commissions.
