Provenance: Private Collection, UK amassed in the 1960s and 1970s; Chiswick Auctions, 19 June 2019, lot 14; Private collection The sitter is probably Irish and is wearing a uniform similar to that of the 1782 Club that celebrated the creation of the Independent Irish Parliament by the removal of restrictions imposed by the English parliament. John Stordy was originally a watchmaker. In 1751 he was living in Capel Street, Dublin and was awarded four pounds and eleven shillings in the Dublin Society for making enamelled plates for watches. He exhibited miniatures in enamel and watercolour at the Society of Artists in William Street in 1769 and 1770 by which time he was working as a "watch maker and miniature painter" in Grafton Street. In or soon after 1771 he went to London and endeavoured to obtain a practice as a miniature painter, but he did not succeed. He fell into indigent circumstances and died in poverty in an obscure lodging in Kensington Gravel Pits in 1799. He exhibited three portraits at the Royal Academy, 1786-1788. A miniature signed "Stordy 1787" is in the Nottingham Museum. (Strickland)
