Est: €18,000 - €25,000
John Russell (Guildford, United Kingdom, 1745 - Kingston Upon Hull, United Kingdom, 1806) 'Miss Carolina May and Her Two Aunts' Oil on canvas. 118 x 143.5 cm. This painting appears reproduced in 'Pintores italianos e ingleses. Franceses, alemanes y suizos. Siglos XVII y XVIII'(Italian and English Painters. French, German, and Swiss. 17th and 18th Centuries), an illustrated catalogue of paintings belonging to Spanish Collections. On page 89 of this catalogue, the painting is described as 'one of the most famous of the artist's, depicting Miss Caroline on the right of the painting, accompanied by her two aunts, all dressed in costumes and hats of the period, in light colours and ribbons and with details in blue tones. The central figure is Miss May's aunt, Lady Hollist, the wife of Mr. Hollist, who also posed for one of the painter's most famous paintings.' The painting was exhibited at Salón Cano between November 26 and December 6, 1952, in the exhibition 'Masterpieces of 18th-Century English and Italian Painting.' John Russell was 'One of the eighteenth century's leading pastel portraitists,' according to the National Portrait Gallery, which houses over 100 portraits by his hand, including his self-portrait (circa 1780, inv. NPG 1788). Francis Cotes, a member of the Royal Academy and a pioneer of pastel painting in England, instructed Russell, who entered the Royal Academy art school in 1770 and was not appointed a Royal Academician until 1788. Two years later, in 1790, he was appointed Pastel Painter to King George III, Queen Charlotte, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of York, a position that brought him fame and clientele. In addition to the National Portrait Gallery and various British museums, the world's largest public collection of John Russell's pastel portraits can be found at the Guildford House Gallery municipal museum. Provenance: - Dr. Gerard Hollist Collection. It was sold in the auction of his collection on 28th April 1922. - Private collection San Sebastián. - Private collection. Spain.

John Russell (English, 1745-1806) Portrait Oil Painting on Canvas
Est: $2,000 - $4,000
Antique Late 18th Century John Russell R.A. (English, 1745-1806) "Portrait of Woman" Oil Painting on Canvas. Measures approx. - 25" wide x 30 1/4" high, + 3 3/4" frame. Signed and dated 1785. John Russell RA (29 March 1745 20 April 1806) was an English painter renowned for his portrait work in oils and pastels, and as a writer and teacher of painting techniques. Russell was born in Guildford, Surrey, the son of John Russell Sr., book and print seller and five times mayor of the town; his father was something of an artist and drew and published two views of Guildford. Russell was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, and soon showed a strong inclination for art. He trained under Francis Cotes RA (of Cavendish Square, London), one of the pioneers of English pastel painting, and, like Cotes, was an admirer of the pastel drawings of Rosalba Carriera whose methods influenced his technique of "sweetening". At the age of 19 he converted to Methodism, which was the cause of tension with his family and with his teacher; he made no secret of his strong evangelical leanings and would attempt to preach and convert at every opportunity.

Camille Dorange, " John Russell (1745-1806) et la France ", in 'The British Art Journal', 2010, vol. 10, n° 3, p. 151 n° 14, repr. Neil Jeffares, 'Dictionnary of pastellists before 1800', version en ligne, ref. J.64.1256 Commentaire : Accueillir dans une vente un pastel dans un état de conservation aussi parfait est un privilège. Avoir passé la plus grande partie de son existence dans la descendance du modèle a dû grandement faciliter sa préservation, pour notre plus grand bonheur. L'art du pastel parvient en Angleterre grâce aux œuvres de Rosalba Carriera et c'est Francis Cotes qui lui donne ses lettres de noblesse. Ce dernier sera le premier maître de John Russel et notre artiste devient vite un virtuose du pastel, affirmant son art en publiant en 1772 un manuel sur cette technique si en vogue en son temps, Elements of Paintings with crayons. En 1790, année où il réalisa le portrait de la jeune Georgiana Cavendish, John Russel devint King's painter c'est-à-dire peintre du roi, il portraitura outre la famille royale les plus hautes personnalités de la cour. Il est à ce moment au sommet de son art et cette même année ses portraits de trois-quarts se vendent plus chers que ceux de Sir Joshua Reynolds. Toujours cette même année il est nommé " Peintre du prince de Galles ", titre auquel s'ajoute en 1792 celui de " Peintre du duc d'York ". Les parents du modèle et leurs familles respectives figuraient parmi les plus importantes du royaume. La vie que son père partage avec deux femmes, la mère de Georgiana et l'écrivaine lady Elizabeth Foster fut sans doute tolérée grâce à ce haut lignage. Notre jeune modèle sera la digne épouse de George Howard du 6e comte de Carlisle, cousin de lord Byron, et la mère du 7e comte de Carlisle, né en 1802, diplomate chancelier, écrivain et surtout vice-roi des Indes. Les tons bleus et roses de notre pastel, la douceur du regard bleu-gris, la robe à volants, la coiffe de dentelle et le ciel vaporeux font de cette œuvre un parangon du XVIIIe siècle finissant. La grand-mère du modèle, la comtesse Spencer, parle de ce pastel lorsqu'elle écrit à sa fille le 12 février 1790 et le décrit comme achevé en ce début d'année1. 1. " The Duke is not yet gone my Dearest Georgiana which has given me time to have a little Craion picture of Georgiana finished by Russal [sic] - it is drawn in the cap she wore while she had her cold & which I thought became her much. ", cité par N. Jeffares, op. cit. Estimation 10 000 - 15 000 €
