        Est: €6,000 - €8,000

        JOHN OPIE (1761-1807), ATTRIBUE - Portrait de la comédienne Elisabeth Searle Portrait de la comédienne Elisabeth Searle Importante huile sur toile. Sans encadrement. Provenance: The Marquis of Londonderry Dimensions : 230 x 148 cm Réputée pour sa beauté et son élégance, la célèbre comédienne et danseuse Elizabeth Searle naît vers 1789 et elle épouse Robert Heathcote à Londres en 1809. Ils ont quatre enfants mais elle meurt précocement à Southampton en 1816. Un autre portrait de la comédienne est peint par John Opie vers 1807. En buste, elle y figure dans le rôle de Miranda de la pièce La Tempête de William Shakespeare (Tabley House, Université de Manchester). Peintre britannique né à Trevellas dans les Cornouailles, il peint les portraits d'homme et de femme célèbres de son temps dont les membre de la Famille Royale. Très jeune, il montre un talent précoce à la fois pour le dessin et les mathématiques. Son père ne l'encourage pas mais ses dons artistiques attirent l'attention du médecin local, John Wolcot, qui devient sont Mentor. Il lui procure logement, encouragements, conseils et des cours, une aide inestimable qui finit rapidement par lui procurer de nombreuses commandes. Après avoir acquis une expérience considérable en tant que portraitiste, Opie s'installe à Londres avec Wolcot qui réussit avant leur séparation à le faire introduire à la Cour du Roi George qui lui achète un de ses tableaux et lui commande un portrait de Mary Delany. Il reçoit ensuite les commandes des portraits du Prince William Frederick, Duc de Gloucester et d'Edimbourg. Il peindra ensuite les portraits de Lady Salisbury, de Lady Charlotte Talbot, de Lady Harcourt et tant d'autres encore. En 1786, il expose son premier sujet historique important, l'Assassinat de Jacques 1er et l'année suivante, le Meurtre de Rizzio, œuvre dont le mérite est reconnu par son élection immédiate comme associé de la Royal Academy dont il deviendra membre à part entière en 1788.

        Attrib John Opie portrait of Lady Arthur Somerset Oil

        Est: $600 - $900

        Opie, attributed to John, R.A. (British, 1761-1807), Portrait of Lady Arthur Somerset, c.1785, oil on canvas, since relined, apparently unsigned, 37 x 28.25 inches, in an ornately carved wood frame 44.5 x 35.5 inches. Provenance: Viscount Falmouth by descent to Mrs Stapleton; Spink and Sons; John Levy Galleries; Private Collector; Morris Art Gallery, Daytona Beach, FL; also with a very faint Christie's stamp on the right side of the stretcher. Opie and His Works (ROGERS, 1878) refers to a kitcat portrait of Lady Arthur Somerset, dated after 1782, measuring 30 x 25 inches -- all of this lines up with the current piece, except for the dimensions; however, the common size of a kitcat portrait was 36 x 28 inches, which is in line with this one.

        Jan. 30, 2021

        Attributed to John Opie (British, 1761-1807), "Portrait of a Lady"

        Est: $1,200 - $1,800

        Attributed to John Opie (British, 1761-1807) "Portrait of a Lady, by Repute Mrs. John White" oil on canvas with "Arnold Wiggins & Sons/London" and "Scott & Fowler/New York" labels and a handwritten expository note en verso. Framed. 29-1/2" x 24-1/2", framed 37-5/8" x 32-1/2" Provenance: Mr. George White, Esq., Ashley House, Epsom, Surrey, UK; Arnold Wiggins & Sons Ltd., London, UK; Scott & Fowler, New York, New York; Knoedler Galleries, New York, New York, ca. 1923; Bruce McCashin Collection. Notes: Celebrated English portraitist John Opie (1761-1807) revealed an exceptional talent for drawing and other academic pursuits early in life. By age 12, he had started an evening school for underprivileged children where he taught mathematics, writing and reading. Born into a working class Cornwall family as the youngest of five children, Opie’s father, a master carpenter, wanted his youngest son to apprentice and follow in his footsteps. After catching the attention of Dr. John Wolcot, a noted satirist and physician, Wolcot offered to be his mentor. In 1775, Wolcot bought him out of his apprenticeship and Opie went to live with him at his home in nearby Truro where he was provided all of the financial support and training he needed to launch his successful career. Opie eventually moved to London in 1781 with Wolcot after establishing a formal profit-sharing agreement. Despite Wolcot’s major role in Opie’s professional development, he presented Opie to London society as a “self-taught” prodigy (nicknamed “The Cornish Wonder”), garnering the attention and praise of social elites and other leading artists, including the acclaimed Sir Joshua Reynolds. Opie first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1782 and went on to paint many notables of the time, including several members of the Royal Family. The present portrait, apparently a member of the White family according to inscriptions en verso, remained in said family since its commission until sold by George White, Esq., Ashley House, Epsom, Surrey, and was most recently acquired by the grandfather of the present consignor at Knoedler Galleries, New York in 1923. Another portrait from the White Family (possibly a companion to the present painting), of a Mr. James White, was offered at Christie’s, New York in May 2005.
