Est: £2,000 - £3,000
Thomas Hudson, English 1701-1779- Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Joseph King, wearing a blue jacket and white waistcoat; oil on canvas, in a feigned oval, bears inscription 'Mr Joseph King' on the upper stretcher bar, 76.5 x 63.1 cm. Provenance: Cider House Galleries, Bletchingley. Private Collection, UK. Note: Hudson trained under Jonathan Richardson (1667-1745), and went to become one of the most prolific and successful portraitists in 18th-century Britain, whose pupils included Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792) and Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797). Hudson's portraits are notable for their fine painting and sensitive handling, allowing the artist to convey a strong sense of the sitter's character and presence. This technique also enables Hudson to depict the range of textures and fabrics of their clothing, with the present sitter wearing a rich, deep blue jacket which contrasts with the crisp white of his shirt, rendering the portrait particularly striking and further imparting a realistic sense of the sitter's presence.

Est: €8,000 - €12,000
Thomas Hudson, Werkstatt bzw. Umkreis 1701 Devon - 1779 Deep Cross, Twickenham Portrait of a lady Attribution to Allan Ramsay (1713 Edinburgh - 1784 Dover) on adhesive label, inscribed "BLOCH" in white chalk on the stretcher. Oil auf canvas. 76.5 x 63.5 cm. Relined. Restored. Minor damage to frame (94 x 82 cm). Thomas Hudson gilt als der führende englische Porträtmaler der Zeit von 1740-60. Er stellt das künstlerische Bindeglied zwischen seinem Lehrer Jonathan Richardson (Hudson war auch dessen Assistent) und Joshua Reynolds dar. Sein formaler, zurückhaltender Stil in der Darstellung wurden von der konservativ geprägten britischen Gesellschaft sehr geschätzt. In der Mitte der 1740er Jahre gehörte er zu einer Gruppe von Künstlern, darunter auch Allan Ramsay (dem das vorliegende Gemälde früher zugeschrieben wurde), William Hogarth, Francis Hayman und John Michael Rysbrack, die sich im Old Slaughter Coffee House in London trafen. Dies Gruppe hatte maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Etablierung des "Thomas Corams Hospital" als erstem Londoner Ausstellungsraum für Künstler. Um 1760 ging Hudsons Produktion an Gemälden dramatisch zurück, auch hatte mit dem zunehmenden Erfolg der Künstler um Joshua Reynolds seine Wertschätzung seitens der Auftraggeber abgenommen. Hudsons Werkstatt war sehr produktiv, es entstanden über 300 Porträtgemälde und auch zahlreiche Stiche. Ab den 1740er Jahren etablierte Hudson Porträttypen, die mit Variationen wiederholt ausgeführt wurden. In seinem Studio gab es für seine Mitarbeiter einen Vorrat an Posen mit Standard-Kleidung, was bedeutet, dass sich ein und dasselbe Kleidungsstück auf den Porträts unterschiedlicher Personen wiederfinden kann. Wie auch bei anderen Künstlern nicht unüblich, schuf der Meister selbst ausschließlich die individuellen Darstellungen der Gesichter. Auch in vorliegendem Fall können sowohl das prächtige Kleid, eine Robe à la Polonaise, wie auch der reiche und kunstvoll drapierte Perlenschmuck mindestens zwei Mal bei anderen Porträts nachgewiesen werden: dem Bildnis der Mary Panton, Duchess of Ancaster (1725-1793), das 1757 entstand (Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire) und dem Porträt von Mrs Emma Harvey (1732-1767), das um 1755 datiert wird (Bristol, Museum & Art Gallery).

I, p.248, no.22, London, Kenwood House, Thomas Hudson 1701-1779, 1979, under no.25Thomas Hudson was one of the most fashionable portrait painters in London in the mid-18th Century. He taught Sir Joshua Reynolds and his sitters included the Duke of Cumberland and George Frederic Handel. In 1748 he visited France and the Low Countries with his friend William Hogarth. and his works of the 1750s, such as this, reflect his exposure to the sensuous handling of Flemish painting, as well as elements of the French rococo. Mary Browne was the daughter of the wealthy physician Sir William Browne (1692-1774), and his wife Mary Greene. Browne began to practice medicine in the prosperous seaport and market town of King's Lynn, Norfolk, in 1716. He became a few of the Royal Society and was knighted in 1748. The following year he moved to London and settled in Queen's Square, Bloomsbury - not far from Hudson's fine house in Great Queen Street. In 1759 he commissioned this portrait, together with one of his wife. Both sitters wear silver satin dresses trimmed with delicate lace. Hudson also painted Sir William three times, firstly 1745-49, as a portly, prosperous Lynn physician, with St Nicholas's church in the background, again in 1766 in his pomp as the newly appointed President of the Royal College of Physicians and again on his retirement, which he gifted to the college.Mary married William ffolkes (d.1773) of Hillington Hall, Norfolk in 1747. The ffolkes were an ancient Norfolk family dating back to before the 14th Century and had connections to the Walpole's of Houghton and later in the century, to Admiral, Lord Nelson. William ffolkes was a lawyer and agent for the Dukes of Montagu, Richmond and Manchester. Their only son, Martin, was born on 21st May 1749. After Eton, he studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and entered Lincoln's Inn in 1768. On his grandfather Sir William Browne's death in 1774, he restyled himself as Browne ffolkes and was created a Baronet. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1772, was High Sheriff of Norfolk 1783-84 and was MP for King's Lynn from 1790 until his death in 1821. Browne is memorialised with his daughter Mary and generations of the ffolkes family in Hillington church. Those records, and Hudson's portraits, commemorate two remarkable and fascinating East Anglian families.
