Huge Antique Oil Painting Portrait of Mrs Boone & Daughter after lost original
c. 1890's

About the Item

After SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS (1723 -1792) Portrait of Mrs Boone and her Daughter Oil on Canvas Canvas Size : 55.25 x 43.25 inches (140 x 110 cms) Framed size : 62 x 50 inches (157.5 x 127 cms) Provenance : Private Collection, France This present picture is a good quality copy of a Reynolds original. Copies are notoriously difficult to date, but judging by the style and the materials used it is most probable that we are dealing with a picture painted between 1890 and 1920. The professional standard of the work makes this painting a fine and substantial piece of decoration in the 18th century English manner. But in this case there is more… The Reynolds original was painted around 1774-6 and depicts Harriet Boone, wife of Charles Boone with their daughter, also Harriet – later the wife of Sir William Drummond K.C. This picture was by 1865 in the collection of one T Colleton Garth (a relative of the younger Harriet Boone), who lent it to an exhibition of Old Master pictures at the British Institution in 1865. It was engraved in 1866 by G.H. Emery – presumably after attracting some attention at that exhibition. The painting was then bought from Garth by the dealers Agnew in 1903 and sold the following year in 1904 to the famous Anglo-German diamond magnate Alfred Beit. Two years later in 1906, Beit - who would fill his later years with numerous philanthropic donations in Germany, England and South Africa - gave the Reynolds original of Mrs Boone to the Berlin Gallery. However, during World War II, in order to try and keep museum contents safe from bombing raids and eventually the advancing allies armies, many works, the Reynolds included, were stored underneath some of the robustly constructed flak towers in Berlin where it was believed they would be safe. But in May 1945 the Friedrichshain flak tower blew up as a result of allied action and historians have concluded that the Reynolds, along with a large number of other works from the Berlin museums, was destroyed. This of course adds a significant dimension to our present painting. There are in existence old black and white reproductions of the original. And there are copies of the engraving to be found. But it is believed that this copy of ours is in all probability the only representation remaining that shows in colour how the original Reynolds would have looked. So we are dealing with not only a handsome piece of decoration but also with an historical document which allows a later audience to understand the how the lost Reynolds would have looked. The paintings sheer scale and appeal, lends itself wonderfully to several interior design possibilities, ideal for a large country house interior or equally a town house.
