Oil on Canvas of Lady Evelyn Herbert after Sir William Orpen

About the Item

Most likely a really good gallery copy of Orpen’s portrait of Lady Evelyn Herbert. Portrait of Lady Evelyn Herbert after Sir William Orpen (1871-1931). Oil on canvas. The sitter was the daughter of Lord Carnarvon who discovered Tutankhamen's tomb and she was one of the first to enter the tomb in 1922. She was the first woman to do so. This painting was exhibited in the same Gallery as the Roscommon Dragoon by Orpen, also in this category……namely the Ballyrickart Gallery of Irish Art in Ireland. Oil on canvas……signature on back (not authenticated). Details of painter on the back with "Certificate of Authenticity" from the ‘National Fine Arts Title Registry’ which we do not feel confident supporting as genuine. Beautifully framed. Repair to top left of frame. Being sold as ‘after’ Sir William Orpen……oil on canvas…..circa 1923. Sir William Orpen was one of the premiere British and Irish Artists of the early and mid-20th century and is regarded as a British Master. Major Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen, KBE, RA, RHA (27 November 1878 – 29 September 1931) was an Irish artist who worked mainly in London. William Orpen was a fine draughtsman and a popular, commercially successful, painter of portraits for the well-to-do in Edwardian society. During World War I, he was the most prolific of the official artists sent by Britain to the Western Front. There he produced drawings and paintings of privates, dead soldiers and German prisoners of war along with portraits of generals and politicians. Most of these works, 138 in all, he donated to the British government and they are now in the collection of the Imperial War Museum. His connections to the senior ranks of the British Army allowed him to stay in France longer than any of the other official artists and although he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, KBE, in the 1918 King's birthday honours list and elected a member of the Royal Academy of Arts, his determination to serve as a war artist cost him both his health and social standing.[1] After his early death a number of critics, and other artists, were loudly dismissive of his work and for many years his paintings were rarely exhibited, a situation that only began to change in the 1980s.

By EICHHOLTZ

Located in Dallas, TX

PRESENTING a LOVELY Early 19C Oil on Canvas ‘Portrait of a Distinguished Lady’ In the Style of Jacob Eichholtz. Nice sized portrait of an older lady of high social status, from circa 1820. She has brown curly hair (suggesting that she may not have been as old as she appears) with a beautiful lace bonnet, with intricate lace collar and black period dress which is suggestive of a ‘mourning’ period. Oil on Canvas mounted on a wooden fame with nails and glue. Unsigned, but most definitely in the style and manner of Jacob Eichholtz, who was a renowned Pennsylvanian artist, known for his portraits of families of status and wealth, in and around Pennsylvania in the early 19th Century. Jacob Eichholtz (1776–1842) was an early American painter...
