About the Item

"Micky" by John Young-Hunter (British 1874-1955) signed and dated 1920 oil on canvas, unframed canvas: 50 x 31 inches provenance: private collection, UK condition: very good and sound condition JOHN YOUNG-HUNTER (1874-1955) is known for his society portraits of wealthy British and Americans, and for his Native American portraits and genre scenes of the Southwest. Young-Hunter’s work has a bravura quality and his colours are tastefully planned. John Young-Hunter was born in Glasgow, Scotland to marine painter, Colin Hunter, and pianist, Isabella Young. He attended Clifton College and the University of London. At the School of the Royal Academy of Arts in London he won Silver Medals and studied under John Singer Sargent, a close family friend. Lawrence Alma-Tadema was another friend of his parents, and much of Young-Hunter's early work is strongly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites. His wife, Mary, whom he met through his studies, also worked in the style. Young Hunter exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1900 to 1913 where his paintings received highly favorable reviews. His work also was shown at the Tate Gallery and the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. He was elected RBA in 1914. He lived at Gifford's Hall, Suffolk.

20th Century Portrait Oil Painting of Young Girl in Green Dress
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Portrait of a Young Lady by Paul Fitzgerald (Australian 1922-2017) signed and dated 1995 oil painting on canvas, framed canvas: 24 x 20 inches framed: 27 x 24 inches Charming portrait of this young lady, depicted in a light 'duck egg' colored dress. The work has a lovely 'vintage' feel to it. Paul Desmond Fitzgerald (1 August 1922 – 24 June 2017) was an Australian portrait painter who painted a vast array of distinguished persons. Fitzgerald was born in the family home, in the Melbourne suburb of Kew, the second son of Frank Fitzgerald and Margaret née Poynton. Frank Fitzgerald was a journalist with The Age for approximately ten years and about eight years with The Argus. He periodically filled the roles of general reporting, leader writing, political correspondent, art critic, music critic, theatre critic and motoring editor.
