        JAMES REILY (c.1735-1778) Portrait of a Gentleman Signed with initials and…

        Est: €500 - €700

        JAMES REILY (c.1735-1778) Portrait of a Gentleman Signed with initials and dated ‘I Reily 1764'. Watercolour on ivory Oval, 3.9cm high, 3.3cm wide The young James Riley, together with Gustavus Hamilton and Daniel O’Keeffe worked as an apprentice for Samuel Dixon in his shop on Capel Street. Colouring in Dixon’s hallmark basso relievos of birds and flowers. On occasion, the three apprentices signed their work on the reverse with Riley simply signing ‘James’. In time, however, Riley’s success as a miniature painter enabled him ‘to have a fine house of his own in Grafton Street, Dublin’. The acquisition of the house in Grafton Street occurred sometime before 1765 when he gives this as his address at the inaugural exhibition of the Society of Artists in William Street. Earlier in 1760 when he married Jane Blackney of County Meath he was living in Capel Street close to Dixon’s shop. Even by this date he had clearly won a certain reputation, being referred to in Sleator’s Public Gazeteer’s notification of the marriage as a ‘celebrated portrait painter’.
