Est: £1,000 - £1,500
Attributed to John Hamilton Mortimer, British 1740-1779- Bardolph, from 'Twelve Characters from Shakespeare'; oil on board, feigned oval, bearing monogram 'JHM' and various pencil inscriptions verso, 35.6 x 30.2 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: John Hamilton Mortimer was an important figure in the development of Romanticism in Britain, and his dramatic scenes, which often took inspiration from literary subjects and were heavily indebted to the art of Salvator Rosa (1615-1673), would become an inspiration to a younger generation of artists, including William Blake (1757-1827). John Hamilton Mortimer produced a series of etchings devoted to characters from Shakespeare, which were based on drawings he exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1775. The present painting is a version of this same subject, representing Bardolph, a low-life companion of Prince Hal and follower of Falstaff in Henry IV, parts I and II. Another, similar oil sketch of Bardolph in profile by Hamilton Mortimer is in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts [acc. no. 71.6].

JOHN HAMILTON MORTIMER Self Portrait in Character. Etching, circa 1775. 420x305 mm; 16 3/4x12 1/4 inches. Proof before letters, with the titled added in pencil in the blank lower margin. A superb impression. According to the Royal Collection Trust, London, "This etching corresponds, in reverse, with a drawing in the Victoria and Albert Museum, itself a version of an oil by Mortimer in the Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne (Victoria and Albert Museum, E.328–1961; for the painting see Sunderland 1986, number 107). Another etching after the same drawing, by Mortimer's collaborator Robert Blyth and published in 1782, has been claimed to be a later state of the present print, but is from a different plate: as well as many differences of detail, the tonalities capture none of the dramatic atmosphere and stark lighting. Mortimer did not make many prints, but in 1775–76 he produced a set of 12 heads of figures from Shakespeare that have very much the same character and technique seen here. It seems therefore that the present plate was etched by Mortimer himself and that Blyth made his own version for publication a few years later." With—WENZEL HOLLAR. Pietro Aretino, etching, 1649.
