About the Item

D71803 POSSIBLE PORTRAIT OF MARGARET MARSH, WIFE OF Mr J. JOHNSON ON THE STEPS OF A COUNTRY HOUSE ATTRIBUTED TO BARTHOLOMEW DANDRIDGE 1691 – Circa 1755 Oil on canvas 50 x 41 inches Framed size 57 ¾ x 49 inches Dandridge was baptized in London on 17 December 1691, son of a house painter. He first studied at Kneller’s Academy from 1712 and then at St. Martins Lane Academy with John Vanderbank and Louis Cheron. His early patrons included Captain Richard Gifford for whom he painted a small equestrian portrait circa 1725 and Frederick, Prince of Wales. He married Hannah Ashworth at Aldgate on 2 April 1725. Dandridge was one of the first artists in London to paint conversation pieces. It is known he als o executed ornamental designs for books, for example M.A. Ramsay’s Les Voyages de Cyrus 1730. He developed a successful portrait practice in London and took over Kneller’s old studio in 1731. His career runs parallel with Hogarth’s. Waterhouse describes him as ‘a pioneer of the rococo conversation piece’. Vertue considered him to be the ablest and most original exponent of such pictures of his time. It is thought that when he died circa 1755, that he was still at his prime. Works represented: Manchester City Art Gallery; National Portrait Gallery London; Leeds City Art Gallery; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Bibl: Portrait Painters in Britain – Brian Stewart & Mervyn Cutten Benezit This painting bore an old label stating that the painting was a portrait of Anne Wolfe, daughter of Margaret Johnson and that it was drawn by Knapton in 1766, but it seems they are a generation out, as this portrait would date from 1730’s - 40’s and it is more likely to be of her mother.
