About the Item

"Micky" by John Young-Hunter (British 1874-1955) signed and dated 1920 oil on canvas, unframed canvas: 50 x 31 inches provenance: private collection, UK condition: very good and sound condition JOHN YOUNG-HUNTER (1874-1955) is known for his society portraits of wealthy British and Americans, and for his Native American portraits and genre scenes of the Southwest. Young-Hunter’s work has a bravura quality and his colours are tastefully planned. John Young-Hunter was born in Glasgow, Scotland to marine painter, Colin Hunter, and pianist, Isabella Young. He attended Clifton College and the University of London. At the School of the Royal Academy of Arts in London he won Silver Medals and studied under John Singer Sargent, a close family friend. Lawrence Alma-Tadema was another friend of his parents, and much of Young-Hunter's early work is strongly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites. His wife, Mary, whom he met through his studies, also worked in the style. Young Hunter exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1900 to 1913 where his paintings received highly favorable reviews. His work also was shown at the Tate Gallery and the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. He was elected RBA in 1914. He lived at Gifford's Hall, Suffolk.
