          ATTRIBUTED TO GEORGE HENRY HARLOW (BRITISH 1787-1819) A YOUNG WOMAN RESTING BY A WALL Oil on panel21.5 x 17cm (8¼ x 6½ in.)Provenance: Prof. Julius Held (1905-2002), New York Sale, Christie's, New York, 27 January 2009, lot 58Private Collection, UK George Harlow studied first under Hendrik Frans de Cort, then with Samuel Drummond, before joining Thomas Lawrence's studio apparently on the advice of the Duchess of Devonshire, who had noticed his talent. In 1818, Harlow travelled to Italy where he was widely admired for his technical ability. He was befriended by the sculptor Antonio Canova and earned considerable acclaim in Rome by painting a full-size copy of Raphael's Transfiguration, a feat that resulted in his election as an Academician of Merit in the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, a rare accolade for an English artist. The picture formed part of the large and fascinating collection assembled by Professor Julius Held. Born in Germany, Held emigrated to the United States in 1934 and became a towering figure in art historical circles, widely recognised for his scholarship and expertise on Rubens, Rembrandt, and Van Dyck. An author of many articles and books, including the 1980 two-volume publication The Oil Sketches of Sir Peter Paul Rubens.

          George Henry Harlow (British, 1787-1819), "Lady Grenville (1772-1864)", oil on canvas, unsigned, "Galerie Sedelmeyer, Paris" wax stamp and remnants of label on stretcher, artist and title plaque from previous framing attached to reverse of frame, 30 in. x 25 in., framed, overall 36 3/8 in. x 31 1/2 in. x 1 3/4 in.Provenance: Galerie Sedelmeyer, Paris.Note: Lady Grenville was born Anne Pitt in 1772, the daughter of Thomas Pitt, first Baron of Camelford and his wife Anne Wilkinson. The Pitt family was highly influential in politics with Anne’s great uncle William Pitt serving as Great Britain’s Prime Minister from 1766 to 1768, followed by his son, William Pitt the Younger, who served as Prime Minister from 1804 to 1806. The Pitt family was already linked by a previous marriage to the Grenville family when Anne married William Grenville, first Baron of Grenville in 1792 when she was twenty years of age. Her soon-to-be husband’s uncle, George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, first Marquess of Buckingham provided a dowery of £20,000, a very generous sum, for Anne to marry Grenville. Shortly before her marriage, Pitt posed as Hebe for a portrait by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Lady Grenville’s husband William Grenville served as Prime Minister from the period 1806 to 1807, during which time the British slave trade was abolished – a feat considered Grenville’s greatest accomplishment. Grenville was then the Chancellor of the University of Oxford from 1810 until his death in 1834 at the age of seventy-four. Anne died in 1864 without issue, which resulted in the extinction of the Baron of Grenville title.

He would die a year later, aged just 31. He had trained in Lawrence's studio, but it was in Italy where his accomplishments and remarkable powers of execution made him the hero of the day. Canova was especially impressed, and organised an introduction to the Pope. Harlow was elected a member for merit of the Academy of St. Luke at Rome, a most unusual distinction for an English artist, and was invited to paint his own portrait for the Uffizi gallery. The present portrait, an intimate encounter with an unknown Roman lady was conceived in the same year.

          George Harlow Portrait of Capt. John Robinson Francklin

          Est: $1,000 - $2,000

          George Henry Harlow (English, 1787-1819) Captain John Robinson Francklin, circa 1805-1815 Oil on canvas 30" x 25" An oil portrait executed by George Henry Harlow, the esteemed portrait painter of the English Romantic period. Harlow began his career as a portrait artist in the studios of Samuel Drummond and Sir Thomas Lawrence. A headstrong temperament led to a fracture in his relationship with Lawrence, but his personal charm and immense talent led to a very fruitful career, popular in society if not always on good terms with the Royal Academy. Sadly, just as Harlow entered his mature period, his life ended prematurely at the age of 31 to an untreated glandular infection. (Source: Dictionary of National Biographies) The sitter for the portrait is identified by the tag to the reverse as John Robinson Francklin, the longtime captain of vessels including the Herculean (built 1799), the Alexander (built 1803), the Northumberland (built 1805), and the Windsor (built 1818). Many of Captain Francklin's voyages (also sometimes styled as "Franklin") were in the service of the British East India Company. A partially torn paper tag from the period affixed to the reverse of the original strainer is inscribed in cursive: "Captain John Robinson Francklin, Son of Michael Francklin, Leah [Gurmon?] of Nova Scotia, Born July 15, 1774 / Pai--- ... Harlow." The painting is presented in a 19th century frame-- possibly original to the piece-- measuring 32 3/4" x 27 1/2".

AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US BIOGRAPHY: George Henry Harlow was born in St. James's Street, London, the posthumous son of a China merchant, who after some years' residence in the East had died about five months before his son's birth, leaving a widow with five infant daughters. Indulged and petted by his mother, Harlow was sent when quite young to Dr. Barrow's classical school in Soho Square, and subsequently to Mr. Roy's school in Burlington Street. He was for a short time at Westminster School, but having shown a predilection for painting, he was placed under Henry De Cort, the landscape-painter. He next worked under Samuel Drummond, A.R.A., the portrait-painter, but after about a year entered the studio of Sir Thomas Lawrence (president of the Royal Academy). This step is said to have been taken at the suggestion of Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire; but Harlow's natural affinity to Lawrence's style in painting would be quite sufficient to account for his choice. Harlow paid Lawrence handsomely for his admission and the right to copy, but according to the contract was not entitled to instruction. Harlow now determined to devote himself to painting, and refused an offer of a writership in the East India trade made by his father's friends. He remained for about eighteen months in Lawrence's studio, copying his pictures, and occasionally drawing preliminary portions of Lawrence's own productions. A difference about Harlow's work for one of Lawrence's pictures led to a breach with Lawrence, and Harlow rendered reconciliation impossible by painting a caricature signboard for an inn at Epsom in Lawrence's style and with Lawrence's initials affixed to it. Harlow henceforth pursued an original system of art education. He inveighed strongly against all academical rules and principles. Young, headstrong, and impatient of restraint, with a handsome person and amiable disposition, he was generally popular in society. He affected, however, an extravagance in dress far beyond his means, a superiority of knowledge, and a license of conversation which gave frequent offense even to those really interested in the development of his genius. His foibles led his friends to nickname him "Clarissa Harlowe." He worked, however, with industry and enthusiasm in his art. He possessed a power of rapid observation and a retentive memory which enabled him to perform astonishing feats, like that of painting a satisfactory portrait of a gentleman named Hare, lately dead, whom Harlow had only once met in the street. Though openly opposed to the Royal Academy, he was a candidate for academician, but he only received the vote of Henry Fuseli. He exhibited for the first time at the Academy in 1804, sending a portrait of Dr. Thornton. In later years he exhibited many other portraits. His practice in this line was extensive. His portraits are well conceived, and, though much in the manner and style of Lawrence, have a character of their own. His portraits of ladies were always graceful and pleasing. He was less successful, owing to his defective art-education, in historical painting, in which he aspired to excel. His first exhibited historical pictures were Queen Elizabeth striking the Earl of Essex, at the Royal Academy, 1807, and The Earl of Bolingbroke entering London, at the British Institution, 1808. In 1815 he painted Hubert and Prince Arthur for Mr. Leader, a picture subsequently exchanged for portraits of that gentleman's daughters. In 1814 he painted a group of portraits of Charles Mathews, the actor, in various characters, which attracted general attention. It was engraved by W. Greatbach for Yate's Life of Mathews. Harlow received a commission from Mr. Welch, the musician, to paint a portrait of Mrs. Siddons as Queen Katharine in Shakespeare's Henry VIII. This was commenced from memory, but subsequently the actress, at Mr. Welch's request, gave the painter a sitting. While painting the portrait, Harlow resolved to expand the picture into the "Trial Scene" from the same play, introducing portraits of the various members of the Kemble family and others. Mr. Welch, though not consulted by Harlow concerning this change of plan, behaved generously. The picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1817, and excited great public interest. It was neither well composed nor well executed, and owed much to the criticism and suggestions of Fuseli, whose portrait Harlow was painting at the time. Still, the portrait of Mrs. Siddons herself as the queen will remain one of the most striking figures in English art. The fine engraving of it in mezzotint by George Clint has enhanced its reputation. The picture passed eventually into the possession of Mr. Morrison at Basildon Park, Berkshire. It was exhibited at Manchester in 1857. Harlow's next picture, The Virtue of Faith, at the Royal Academy, lacked originality, and had less success. It was purchased by his friend Mr. Tomkisson, who divided it into pieces for the sake of the heads. In 1818 Harlow, conscious of deficiencies in his executive powers, visited Italy to study the old masters. At Rome his personal gifts and accomplishments, and his remarkable powers of execution, made him the hero of the day. He was fГЄted and flattered in every direction. Canova was especially attracted by him, and obtained for him an introduction to the Pope. Harlow, however, worked very hard, and completed a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration in eighteen days. He was elected a member for merit of the Academy of St. Luke at Rome, a most unusual distinction for an English artist, and was invited to paint his own portrait for the Uffizi gallery of painters at Florence. He painted a picture of Wolsey receiving the Cardinal's Hat in Westminster Abbey, and presented it to the Academy at Rome. His artistic progress in Italy was remarkable, but on his return to England on 13 January 1819 he was seized with a glandular affection of the throat, which being neglected proved fatal on 4 February. He was in his thirty-second year. He was buried under the altar of St. James's, Piccadilly, and his funeral was attended by the eminent artists of the day. An exhibition of his principal works was held in Pall Mall. His collections, including many sketches, were sold by auction 21 June 1819. Harlow is one of the most attractive figures in the history of English painting. His works only suggest what lie might have achieved. Many of his portraits have been engraved, and those of James Northcote, Fuseli, Thomas Stothard, William Beechey, John Flaxman, and others are highly esteemed. His own portrait, painted by himself for the gallery at Florence, was engraved for Ranalli's Imperiale e Reale Galleria di Firenze. A drawing from it by J. Jackson, R.A., was bequeathed to the trustees of the National Portrait Gallery in 1888 by the painter's nephew, G. Harlow White. Another drawing by himself was engraved by B. Holl for the Library of the Fine Arts. His own portrait is introduced in the background in the picture of The Trial of Queen Katharine. A portrait of the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV) by Harlow was engraved in mezzotint by W. Ward.
