About
Isherwood Fine Art are pleased to present this fine portrait of a Mr Holland by English artist George Romney (1734-1802). Oil on canvas in the original English Saunders 18th century frame. c.1785.
This portrait is featured in Alex Kidson's ', George Romney: A Complete Catalogue of his Paintings', no. 666, volume 1, page 313, 2015.
Mr Holland was recorded by Romney as living in Wimpole Street, London and in Romney's rough lists, this portrait is assigned to 1785, the year for which his sitter book is missing. Romney recorded being paid his 20 guinea fee by Mr Holland on 10 September 1786, and there is an appointment recorded with him on 15 September that year: perhaps a finishing session or Mr Holland collecting the picture.
