James Roberts the Younger
Portrait of a Criolla Woman from Lima
1797

About the Item

Inscribed, lower center: Dame Créole du Pérou, vêtue selon l’usage de Lima. Signed, and dated, lower left: James Roberts, Painter to His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, del.n 1797. Provenance: Private Collection, New York. This engaging drawing provides unique insight into global artistic interchange and European interest in the visual culture of the Spanish Americas in the 18th century. Its author is the little-known British portraitist and draughtsman James Roberts the Younger. The son of the engraver James Roberts the Elder, Roberts was born in Westminster and likely trained with his father. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1773 to 1799 and was appointed Portrait Painter to the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV). He often inscribed his engravings and signed his drawings with this title, as in the present work. Dated 1797, this work was drawn after a 1774 engraving by the French artist Francois-Robert Ingouf (Fig. 1) that reproduces a portrait of a criolla woman—of Spanish descent but born in the New World—by the Peruvian artist Julián Dávila (ca. 1736–1821). Interestingly, the artist only adopted the surname Dávila later in life and is better known by his birth name, Julián Jayo (full name Julián Jayo Apumayta Taurichumbi Sabá Mango Cápac Inga). Jayo was born in Lima and belonged to a noble indigenous lineage. He became Cacique of Lurín and Pachacamac through family inheritance, and later was one of the signers of the Peruvian Act of Independence in 1821. Although there were many indigenous workshops in Peru during the Colonial period, many painters’ names have been lost and their works remain anonymous. Jayo stands out as a documented indigenous artist who achieved considerable success in Lima, where he painted for the city’s secular and ecclesiastical elite. Few of his paintings are known today, and it is uncertain whether the portrait recorded in Ingouf’s print and this drawing still survives. The painting depicted here is a testament to Jayo’s refined style and provides a rare example of an independent female portrait in late Viceregal Peru, punctuated by the elegant table, colonial silver, and other luxury objects. For James Roberts, the subject is an outlier in his graphic production. The majority of his drawings are today in the British Museum and are mainly full-length portrait drawings of theatrical actors and actresses portrayed in character. Many of these were preparatory for John Bell’s British Theatre—a compilation of 140 plays in 21 volumes with accompanying engraved illustrations published in 1776–1778. Although in keeping with Roberts’ interest in rendering costume, our drawing has not yet been connected with any known project or commission, and its original intended purpose is not known.
