  • John William Wright - Portrait of a lady seated at a table, reading a letter 
    Feb. 27, 2024

    John William Wright - Portrait of a lady seated at a table, reading a letter 

    Est: £300 - £500

    John William Wright,  British 1802-1848 Portrait of a lady seated at a table, reading a letter;  watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed with monogram and dated 'JWW / 1846' (to the letter, centre), 49 x 37 cm.  Provenance:  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  Wright is perhaps best-known for his illustrations for Charles Heath's (1785-1848) 'Heroines of Shakespeare' of 1846, and the present work serves as a typical example of Wright's romanticised depictions of sitters in historical dress or theatrical costume. In this watercolour, Wright has exhibited his technical mastery of the medium of watercolour, evoking the detail of the frills on the sitter's dress, and the light which bounces off the china on the table beside her.

Wright painted domestic and sentimental subjects in the style then popular, and also historical compositions, notable for their detailed depictions of costumes; the plays of Shakespeare were a frequent source of inspiration. Engravings of his pictures featured in publications such as "The Keepsake", "The Literary Souvenir", and Heath's "Book of Beauty", "The Drawing-room Scrap Book", and "The Female Characters of Shakespeare". His portraits of Lord Tenterden, Bishop Gray, and Bishop Marsh were engraved for Fisher's "National Portrait Gallery".

At the age of 10 he was sent to school at Loughborough House in Brixton but had to be withdrawn due to ill-health, which he suffered from throughout his life. He was apprenticed to Thomas Phillips (1770–1845), and from 1825 was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy, mainly of portraits. In 1831 he was elected an associate of the Old Watercolour Society, and in 1842 a full member; in 1844 he succeeded Robert Hills (1769–1844) as secretary. Wright painted domestic and sentimental subjects in the style then popular, and also historical compositions, notable for their detailed depictions of costumes; the plays of Shakespeare were a frequent source of inspiration. Engravings of his pictures featured in publications such as "The Keepsake", "The Literary Souvenir", and Heath's "Book of Beauty", "The Drawing-room Scrap Book", and "The Female Characters of Shakespeare". His portraits of Lord Tenterden, Bishop Gray, and Bishop Marsh were engraved for Fisher's "National Portrait Gallery". Wright died at his house in Great Marlborough Street, London, on 14 January 1848, from influenza, leaving a widow and two children. The remaining works in his studio were sold by Christie & Manson in March, the same year. Condition Report: Minor foxing. Very Good.
