Reference: Letter from Patricia Hills, Cambridge, MA, November 11, 1989 (Hirschl & Adler Galleries Archive)
Note: Ms. Hills states "this drawing has all of the characteristics of Johnson's early charcoal drawings, and in my opinion it is by Johnson's hand". She continues, "Done in 1845, the drawing is an ambitious work for an artist only 21 years old and is unique in that it is a small, full figure portrait.
Nevertheless, the characteristics are unquestionably those of Johnson: the subtle chiaroscuro modeling to the face the typical delineation of the lips (with Cupid's bow precision), the nicely detailed texture of the fir, and the large soulful eye. The handwriting on the verso matches the inscriptions on other works which Johnson did at this time".
This drawing depicts the great Shakespearean actor John Phillip Kemble (1757-1923) in the role of Hamlet. Johnson's drawing was done after a portrait of the actor by Sir Thomas Lawrence of 1801 (Tate Gallery, London), which was subsequently engraved in mezzotint in 1805 by S. W. Reynolds (1773-1835) recorded in Garlick 1989; 451d. An impression of the mezzotint is in the British Museum.
