PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN
Lot 48
Maria Spilsbury Taylor
PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN
Estimate:
€5,000 - €8,000
Maria Spilsbury Taylor, 1777-1823
PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN
Oil on canvas, 18 1/2" x 15 1/4" (47 x 38.6cm).
This is probably a member of the Tighe family, sitting full length on a Regency chair by a baise covered table with books. Through the window there is a view of the statue of George II in St. Stephens Green, Dublin and the buildings beyond.
Born in London in 1777, Maria Spilsbury Taylor moved to Ireland with her family in 1813. Her father, John Spilsbury, was an engraver and it was in his studio that Maria trained.
From 1792 to 1808, she exhibited her work at the Royal Academy in London, as well as other at other venues, and ranged from portraiture to subject and genre painting.
From the time of her arrival in Dublin, Spilsbury Taylor showed her work with the Hibernian Society of Artists. In his 'Dictionary of Irish Artists' (1913), Strickland notes that in 1814, 'Monthly Museum' described how 'Mrs Taylor's pictures exhibit a taste and delicacy of execution rarely to be met with.'
