Description

George Richmond, RA, 
British 1809-1896- 

Portrait of Hugh Seymour Tremenheere; 

black, white and red chalk on canvas, 44 x 35.5 cm. 

Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.

Note: 
George Richmond studied first with his father, the miniaturist Thomas Richmond, Sen. (1771-1831), and later at the Royal Academy Schools. At the RA, Richmond befriended Samuel Palmer (1805-1881), together with whom he became a member of The Ancients, a group of painters who worked in the style of William Blake (1757-1827). While Richmond did paint a number of literary and religious scenes in Blake’s vein, he later established a successful career as a portrait painter and it is for his distinctive, intimate portraits, often rendered in pencil or in chalk, like the present example, that he is best known. 
Tremenheere (1804-1893) was a prominent barrister, who served as inspector of schools and mines, and carried out inquiries into factories and agriculture.
