CIRCLE OF SIR WILLIAM BEECHEY R.A (BRITISH, 1753-1839) CIRCLE OF SIR WILLIAM BEECHEY R.A (BRITISH, 1753-1839) Portrait of a young boy, half-length, wearing a white lace collar, dark blue coat, and holding a hoop and stick, landscape beyond oil on canvas 67 x 53 cm (26 1/8 x 20 5/8 in.) The young boy in the present portrait is portrayed with a hoop and stick, perhaps symbolising his youth. Hoop rolling, as it is commonly known, is a game that has been widely documented across societies, with the earliest records dating back to Ancient Greece. In England, young people are known to have played games with hoops and sticks as early as the 15th Century. The popularity of the game was recorded by English artist and writer, Jospeh Strutt (1749-1802), who claimed that the streets of London were filled with young boys playing the game.

BIOGRAPHY: Sir William Beechey RA (12 December 1753 - 28 January 1839) was a British portraitist during the golden age of British painting.Beechey was born at Burford, Oxfordshire, on 12 December 1753, the son of William Beechey, a solicitor, and his wife Hannah Read. Both parents died when he was still quite young in the early 1760s, and he and his siblings were brought up by his uncle Samuel, a solicitor who lived in nearby Chipping Norton.The uncle was determined that the young Beechey should likewise follow a career in the law, and at an appropriate age he was entered as a clerk with a conveyancer near Stow-on-the-Wold. But as The Monthly Mirror later recorded in July 1798, he was: "Early foredoomed his [uncle's] soul to cross/ And paint a picture where he should engross."Beechey was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1772, where he is thought to have studied under Johan Zoffany. He first exhibited at the Academy in 1776. His earliest surviving portraits are small-scale full-length and conversation pieces which are reminiscent of Zoffany. In 1782, he moved to Norwich, where he gained several commissions, including a portrait of Sir John Wodehouse and a series of civic portraits for St. Andrew's Hall, Norwich. By 1787, he had returned to London, and in 1789, he exhibited a celebrated portrait of John Douglas, Bishop of Carlisle (now in Lambeth Palace). Beechey's career during this period is marked by a succession of adept and restrained portraits in the tradition of Sir Joshua Reynolds.Beechey's style perfectly suited the conventional taste of the royal family, and in 1793, he was commissioned to paint a full-length portrait of Queen Charlotte and subsequently named as her official portrait painter. That same year, he was elected as an associate member of the Royal Academy.Following his royal appointment, the number of royal commissions he undertook increased markedly, and in 1797 he exhibited six royal portraits. In 1798, he was elected a full member of the Royal Academy and painted George III and the Prince of Wales Reviewing Troops for that year's academy's exhibition. This enormous composition depicts King George III, the Prince of Wales and staff officers on horseback at an imagined cavalry review in Hyde Park. The king was reported to be delighted with the painting and rewarded Beechey with a knighthood.Joseph Farington's Diaries give many accounts of Beechey's relations with the royal family during this period, including his temporary fall from favour in 1804, which Farington attributes to the vagaries of George III's mental condition.Beechey's portraits of the turn of the century are considered to be his most colourful and lively. They are closer to the flamboyant and free techniques employed by his younger rivals, John Hoppner and Sir Thomas Lawrence.Royal patronage resumed in around 1813, when Beechey was appointed portrait painter to Prince William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester, and culminated with his appointment in 1830 as principal portrait painter to King William IV. In 1836, Beechey retired to Hampstead and on 9-11 June that year, the contents of his studio along with his collection were sold at Christie's.Although capable of impetuousness and irascibility, Beechey was known for his generosity to students. In particular, he took a close interest in the career of the young John Constable.

Cheek of Franklin, TN, and signed by Bertram M.

Biographical note: Elizabeth Thicknesse Woodington was the eldest daughter of Colonel Thicknesse Woodington of the East India Company Service. On November 1,1814, likely shortly after this painting's creation, she married Edward Wingfield Dickenson (1779-1847). Miss Woodington's husband was the eldest son of Edward Dickenson of Drayton Manor and Dosthill House, near the Warwickshire and Staffordshire border, and Maria, daughter of merchant Wingfield Wildman (1728-1792). Dickenson graduated from Christ Church, Oxford in 1800 and in 1812 was Lieutenant Colonel in the Warwickshire Militia. He and Elizabeth had several children including Maria Elizabeth Hutton, through whom the present painting descended before entering the collection of her nephew, Mr. M. Dickenson, by 1909. Inscriptions by both Maria Elizabeth Hutton and M. Dickenson were visible en verso before treatment and are transcribed by William Roberts. (Source: "Dickenson, Edward Wingfield, 1779-1847" in Online Catalogue for Westminster School's Archive & Collections, GB-2014-WSA-06138). It was acquired by Jonathan Cheek of Middle Tennessee in the 1930s. Artist William Beechey (1753-1839) was interested in painting from an early age and was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1772. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1793, the same year he painted a full length portrait of Queen Charlotte, who appointed him her official portrait painter. Subjects after that point included Lord Nelson and Sarah Siddons. In 1798 he painted George III and the Prince of Wales Reviewing the Troops, a large scale composition that earned him the honor of Knighthood and election as a full member of the Royal Academy. That painting was among those destroyed in 1992 during the fire at Windsor Castle.
