    • Thomas Clement Thompson, R.H.A. (British, 1778-1857), "Portrait of William Grant"
      Oct. 24, 2021

      Thomas Clement Thompson, R.H.A. (British, 1778-1857), "Portrait of William Grant"

      Est: $1,000 - $1,500

      Thomas Clement Thompson, R.H.A. (British, 1778-1857) "Portrait of William Grant, Esq. of Carrs Bank" oil on canvas unsigned, titled on letter in sitter's hand, an old handwritten label en verso frame with artist and sitter, an "Agnew & Zanetti/Manufacturers/Manchester" label en verso frame, inventory label reading "Owner/Sir P. Grant Lawson/June 2, 1930" en verso. In an impressive period or earlier giltwood and gesso frame with later black paint. 51-7/8" x 40-1/2", framed 69-1/2" x 58" Provenance: With sitter; Sir Peter Grant Lawson, 2nd Baronet of Knavesmire Lodge; thence by descent; private collection. Notes: The sitter of this portrait, Sir William Grant, was the last male heir of the mercantile Grant brothers of Manchester, England. The family was of Scottish Highland origin and relocated to England in the 1780s after several disastrous fires decimated the family farmland. Sir William was the son of John Grant of Nuttall Hall, and the nephew of Daniel and William Grant, who were famously memorialized as the charitable "Cheeryble Brothers" in Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby. The family was known for their business acumen and philanthropic spirit, members having served as justices, religious leaders, and founders of various institutes and foundations. This portrait descended in the family of William's sister Isabella, first to his nephew Sir John Grant Lawson, the 1st Baronet of Knavesmire Lodge, and then to his great-nephew Sir Peter Grant Lawson, the 2nd Baronet, whose name appears on an inventory label en verso this painting. The nomenclature and design of the "Agnew & Zanetti" label on the frame was only employed by the firm during the years of 1828-1837, thus dating the frame to that short period.

      THOMAS CLEMENT THOMPSON RHA (1780-1857) Self

      Est: €3,000 - €5,000

      THOMAS CLEMENT THOMPSON RHA (1780-1857) Self Portrait Oil on canvas, 108 x 81cm Thomas Clement Thompson was born in 1780 and according to Walter Strickland was probably a native of Belfast. He was admitted to the Dublin Society drawing schools at the age of sixteen. His career began however as a miniature painter in Belfast and Dublin and after developing a reputation in this field he abandoned it in order to concentrate on portrait painting in oil. He acquired a good practice painting, as Strickland put it, many persons of distinction. Thompson was one of the founding members of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1823 and exhibited regularly himself up to 1852. Another self-portrait where he represents himself, palette in hand, before an easel on which is his portrait of George IV, is in the collection of The National Gallery of Ireland.
