      STRICKLAND LOWRY (1737-c.1785) Sarah and James Lewis of Belfast A pair, Oils on canvas. 76 x 63cm (30 x 24¾) Inscribed with sitter name and birth year Provenance: By Family descent until 2015; Lane Fine Art, London; Private Collection, France The Lewis family (and related families including the Leathes) were leading members of Belfast’s commercial and political elite for more than two centuries, providing the town with many sovereigns (mayors) and filling many other civic offices such as town clerk (see the Pedigree by Miss Lewis of Nettlefield, in the Town Book of the Corporation of Belfast, 1613-1816 (1897), p. 336.) James Lewis was born in 1717 the son of Charles Lewis from Hindwall, Radnorshire, who had settled in Ulster. He served as Burgess in 1761 and Sovereign in 1773 and 1777. He is shown here in a portrait by Strickland Lowry together with his wife Sarah (née Orr). Strickland Lowry was originally from Whitehaven in Cumbria, but made his career in Ireland from the 1760s: ‘he is considered to be the first artist of any significance to have produced portraits in Belfast in the latter half of the eighteenth century’ (Eileen Black, Art in Belfast, 1760-1880, Art Lovers or Philistines Irish Academic Press: Dublin and Portland, Oregon, 2006, pp. 4-5). The charming portrait of Sarah Lewis is extremely close to the famous Bateson family conversation piece in the Ulster Museum, not only in the characteristic doll-like posture, but even down to costume details such as the pearl chokers and similarly-treated floral adornments
