W. UNGER (1837-1932), Actress Elizabeth Farren, Etching
Est: €1,200 - €1,600
William Unger (1837 Hannover - 1932 Innsbruck): Portrait of the actress Elizabeth Farren (c 1759-1829), 19th century, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper Stamp: Lower middle Blank stamp, Gesellschaft Wien für Vervielfält. Kunst. Vienna. 19th century Inscription: Lower right monogrammed: "WU". At the lower part inscribed by another person: "Lawrence. Unger. Miss Farren". Date: 19th century Description: Lots of fabric, fur and piled-up hair dominate this portrait. It shows the actress Elizabeth Farren, later Countess of Derby, at the height of her career. She moves out of the picture, turns around and looks confidently at the viewer with a coquettish look. The lady loves a dramatic entrance. Her engaging temperament also seemed to have impressed the Earl of Derby, whose wife she became after a long courtship. The artist William Unger used as a model a commissioned painting by the artist Thomas Lawrence, painted about 100 years earlier. While Lawrence sets the lady in a picturesque English landscape, Unger only hints at the open sky and zooms in on the actress up to her waist. This version of the depiction would probably have been entirely to the liking of the lady, who is said to have felt too thin in Lawrence's original painting. And indeed, she appears more petite in the original painting, her gaze veiled and her body bent, as if a gust of wind had forced her to bend her knees. Despite the sitter's critical objections, the press was enthusiastic and Lawrence's standing as an artist thus secured. The contemporary newspaper "The Public Advertiser" wrote: "It is completely Elizabeth Farren: arch, spirited, elegant and engaging".
