PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN
Circle of Mather Brown
Painted circa 1810-20 30 x 25 ins
Oil on canvas
Unframed
This strongly painted portrait of a man was painted in the first quarter of the 19th century by an unknown painter who was clearly influenced by the American painter, Mather Brown. Brown was born in Boston in 1761 and moved to London where he became the favourite portrait painter of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson , the official portraitist of two of George III’s sons and one of only
two American painters to hold a Royal appointment.
His portraits are notable for their high colouring, strong delineation and the liquid, lifelike quality of the eyes.
