John Edward Jones
Portrait of Lady Lucy Henderson

About the Item

John Edward Jones (Irish – 1806-1862) “Portrait of Lady Lucy Henderson” Signed and dated London 1858, and inscribed, “Lucy Henderson, Nee Durham” 28 ½” high x 20 ½” wide x 11” deep Provenance: Collection Saratoga Springs, NY About John Edward Jones was born in Dublin on May 2nd, 1806. He was the son of a miniature painter Edward Jones. He was trained as an engineer under Alexander Nimmo and worked with him on many important works in Ireland, including the building of the bridge at Waterford between 1829 in 1832, of which he was in charge. A taste and an aptitude for sculpture induced him to relinquish his prospects as an engineer and he commenced practice in London as a sculptor. He achieved considerable success, especially in portrait busts, and was employed by many notable persons of the time. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1844 and continue to do so until his death. He executed a considerable number of bust of Irish personages. He paid occasional visits to Dublin where he contributed to the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1847, 1852,1853 and 1854. A full-length statue by him of Sir Robert Ferguson was erected in Londonderry in 1862. (Source: From a dictionary of Irish Artists, 1913)
