Description
Circle of John Partridge,
British 1789/90-1872-
Portrait of a gentleman, seated half-length, wearing clerical clothing and holding a book;
oil on canvas, 91.2 x 70.5 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present work very much resembles Partridge's dignified portraits, such as that of Lord Colborne which sold at Christie's, London, on 13 July 1989, lot 198, which, as with the inclusion of the book which the sitter holds in the present work, gestures towards Colborne's great sophistication and learning through his inspection of a painting. This portrait also recalls Partridge's depiction of an unknown cleric in the collection of the University of Aberdeen [ABDUA 30125].
