WALTER STEPHENS LETHBRIDGE, (United Kingdom, 1771-1831). "Portrait of a boy with a dog", ca. 1800. Watercolor on ivory.
Est: €1,400 - €1,600
WALTER STEPHENS LETHBRIDGE, (United Kingdom, 1771-1831). "Portrait of a boy with a dog", ca. 1800. Watercolor on ivory. Signed on the back. Measurements: 6.5 x 9 cm; 15.5 x 13.5 cm (frame). Miniaturist trained at the Royal Academy in London, where he began to exhibit annually his works in which appeared characters and theatrical celebrities of the time. In this work, a child wearing a white dress with a low neckline and a blue ribbon is shown seated in the middle of an intimate scene in which a natural landscape can be glimpsed on the left. The infant is accompanied by a dog that stands on his legs as a symbol of fidelity and trust. Miniature painting, especially portraits, developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. They were mainly paintings embedded in objects such as medallions, table clocks, or small boxes used as a coat of arms. They were made in a variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, tin or ivory, gouaches on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolor on ivory. This delicate art will be lost from the second half of the nineteenth century as the art of photography begins to develop.

He was the son of a farmer, but began training as a painter whilst assisting a travelling artist. He later came to London and studied at the Royal Academy schools, exhibiting his works between 1801 and 1829. He retired to Stonehouse, Plymouth in 1830 and is thought to have died there the following year. John Campion married Patsy Bryant in Harwich in 1795. Their son George Bryant Campion was fifteen when Lethbridge painted the portrait miniature included in the present lot. In later life Campion became a prolific and accomplished watercolour artist, teaching at the Royal Military Academy between 1842 and 1870. The sitter in the fourth miniature included in this lot bears a close resemblance to George Bryant Campion's father, John, as depicted in the full length watercolour portrait, also included in this lot
