LXXXVIII, p. 250E.M. Johnson, Francis Cotes, Complete Edition with a Critical Essay and a Catalogue, London, 1976, pp. 93-94, cat. no. 256, pl. 84Exhibited:Providence, Rhode Island School of Design, Exhibition of 18th Century Portraits, November 1932, no. 7 Grace Colhoun nee Parsons (1742-1803) was the daughter of Edward Parson, a landowner in Little Parndon, Essex. In 1766 she married the Norfolk landowner William Colhoun of Wretham, Thorpe and Great Hockham. In his pollical career he served as a Member of Parliament for Bedford (1784- 1802) and consistently voted as a Foxite Whig. In this portrait commissioned soon after their marriage, the newly wed Mrs. William Colhoun is adorned in a lilac wrapping gown accented by a green and gold Indian calico sash and cloak. The sitter exudes a captivating aura and is portrayed leaning on a stone pedestal crowned by an ornamental urn. Her gentle inclination, resting her head upon her hand, evokes a sense of contemplative grace, while delicately holding her skirt with the other hand accentuates her figure against an Arcadian backdrop of verdant trees at sunset. She was the mother in law to Edward Coke who married her daughter Grace Colhoun in 1792. Edward Coke was the son of Wenman Coke and brother to the famous Coke of Norfolk, Thomas Coke, 1st earl of Leicester (7th creation). The present portrait is likely to have originally been housed at Wretham Hall in Norfolk, which was the seat of the Colhouns. William Colhoun built the hall in around 1797. The house was demolished in 1951.The artist and Royal Academician, Francis Cotes (1726-70), was one of the most fashionable portrait painters in London during the third-quarter of the 18th century; his immediate rivals being Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-92) and Allan Ramsay (1713-84), both of whom influenced his work. At the 1764 exhibition of the Society of Artists, Cotes contribution was described favourably but to the detriment of Reynolds in the Public Advertiser: His portraits may justly vie with those of Reynolds, and, greatly to his honour be it said, he generally preserves a correctness in his pictures, which the latter master too often neglects (Winter, p. 244). Initially a pastellist, between 1760 and 1768, he exhibited forty-eight pictures at the Society of Artists annual exhibitions where he was also a director. These included in 1767, a pastel, Queen Charlotte and the Princess Royal (Royal Collection, RCIN 452805), and in 1768, the painting offered here, Mrs.William Colhoun. 1767 and 1768 were without doubt the apex of Cotes' career in terms of artistic achievement, and the rank of his sitters.
