Haydon (Benjamin Robert, 1786-1846) Portrait of the architect Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842), black, red and white coloured chalks on buff paper, signed with initials and dated '1823' in the lower right, further inscribed 'Mr C. H. Tatham by Haydon' in the lower left corner, sheet approx. 480 x 380 mm (18 3/4 x 14 7/8 in), under glass, small puncture in the upper left quadrant, just above the sitter's forehead, scattered spotting and surface dirt, framed, 1823 Provenance: Collection of John and Eileen Harris *** The British Museum hold another portrait of Tatham, the English architect and collector of classical antiquities, also drawn by Haydon. The BM sketch, again also from 1823, was undertaken a year after Mrs Tatham attended Mrs Haydon at the birth of Haydon's son, Frank; the artist and architect are said to have waited together in the painting room. One of the two drawings must have been the drawing for which Tatham paid Haydon £10. [cf. Brown and Woof, Haydon exh. cat., 1996, no. 105]. In 1802 Tatham designed the sculpture gallery at Castle Howard, Yorkshire, and did work at Naworth, Cumberland, for the Earl of Carlisle; and in 1807 the picture gallery at Brocklesby Hall, Lincolnshire, for Lord Yarborough. His etchings for the designs of these galleries, both in the severe classical style in vogue at the time, were published in 1811. He later designed the rebuilding of Roche Court at East Winterslow, Wiltshire for Francis Thomas Egerton in 1804–5, and the mausoleum at Trentham, Staffordshire for George Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland, 1807–08. Before 1816 he designed for the Duke of Bridgwater the portion of Cleveland House, St. James's, which lay to the west of the gallery.

William Aldwin Soames (his sale, Foster, 14 March 1866, lot 140); possibly F.S. Child, 1932; the Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd, his anon. sale, Christie's, 5 November 1974 (lot 111), bt Austen, 30 gns; private collection. Listed by Francis Russell, Portraits of Sir Walter Scott: a study of romantic portraiture (1987), no.82, who notes the accounts by both Scott ('Breakfasted with Haydon and sate for my head') and Haydon for the sitting on 5 May 1828. Haydon's is more circumstantial: 'Sir Walter came to breakfast... He sat to me afterwards for an hour and 1/2, and a delightful sitting it was. i hit his expression exactly. Sir Walter Scott seemed depressed... [he] has certainly the most penetrating look I ever saw, except in Shakespeare's portraits'. Haydon still had the portrait in 1832, when he offered it to Lord Francis Egerton.

Possibly the artist's studio sale; Christie's, 8-15 May 1874, lot 207 as 'Dog lying down'. EXHIBITION Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art, lent by Mrs John Wintersteen, 1963. NOTES The present picture appears to be a very early work by the artist, painted circa 1818 when Landseer was only 15 or 16 years old. As a boy, Landseer was fond of drawing animals and entered the Royal Academy Schools at the age of 14. Encouraged by Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846), Landseer studied dissection and anatomy to perfect his knowledge of animals. Mrs Bunny Wintersteen was the sister of Sir Henry McIlhenny of Philadelphia, who had a large house and estate in Ireland which he filled with works by Landseer.
Portrait of Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846), bust-length signed 'G.H.H.' (lower right) and inscribed and dated 'B.R.Haydon/1815' (lower left) pencil and red chalk 9 7/8 x 8 in. (24.7 x 20.3 cm.) PROVENANCE with Colnaghi's, London. NOTES This sensitive drawing shows Harlow's debt to Sir Thomas Lawrence, his one-time tutor, who permitted the younger artist to copy and occasionally assist him in his work. A rift led to Harlow establishing himself independently, though he concentrated on portraiture, often depicting members of artistic or theatrical coteries. Benjamin Robert Haydon is the archetypal Romantic figure: an aspirational history painter who yet rankled the establishment and never secured the approbation of the buying public. Following his failure to win any of the Westminster Hall decoration schemes, and a disastrous solo exhibition held at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, in 1846, Haydon committed suicide in June of the same year. His published diaries testify to the vital originality of a man who befriended Keats and Wordsworth, and tackled his critics in scathing pamphlets.
