Girl with Basket
By Henry Singleton
Located in Saint Augustine, FL
An original gouache/watercolor on paper by English artist Henry Singleton (1766-1839) titled "Girl with Basket", c. 1825. This work is unsigned. Provenance: single collection of recently deceased James E. Horigan who lived in England and owned a gallery and later moved to Colorado. Framed with french mats and wooden moulding. Framed size: 13.25" x 14.25". Image size: 5.75" x 7.5". Some light cosmetic wear to frame. The watercolor is in excellent condition.
Henry Singleton (19 October 1766 – 15 September 1839) was an English painter and miniaturist. Henry Singleton was born in London, England, into an artistic family. He was not yet two years old when his father died, so he was raised by his uncle William Singleton (d. 1793), who had studied under the tutelage of Ozias Humphry and painted portraits and miniatures. Another uncle, Joseph Singleton, exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1773 and 1788. Henry’s sisters Maria and Sarah (later Macklarinan) were miniaturists who exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1808 to 1820 and from 1787 to 1806 respectively. In 1807 Henry married his cousin William Singleton’s only daughter. Henry Singleton died in London at the age of 72, at the house of a friend at 7 Kensington Gore, and was buried in the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Although Singleton, like his uncles and sister, also painted miniatures, he did not adhere strictly to the genre. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, between 1784 and 1839, approximately 300 works, a large proportion of which were portraits, with scriptural subjects making up much of the remainder. He was for many years the Royal Academy's oldest living exhibitor. His works were also exhibited at the British Institution from 1806 and at the Society of British Artists from 1824 until his death in 1839.
From the age of sixteen, Singleton worked as a professional portraitist. He attended the Royal Academy Schools from the age of seventeen and won the silver medal in 1784. His painting from John Dryden...
