Mezzotint, sheet 355 x 250mm (14 x 9¾"), on 18th century watermarked paper. Trimmed to plate on three sides
A seated portrait of Humphrey Skelton looking pensive, hands clenched in his lap. He is described by Bromley as an 'upholder' (i.e. upholsterer). According to 'Upbraid', the newsletter of the Worshipful Company of Upholders (Issue 13, Summer 2009), a Humphrey Skelton was admitted as a Freeman in 1699 and worked as an upholsterer at least until 1734. They believe this is the earliest portrait of one of their members. The BM quotes a 'Daily Courant' report of 21 July 1727, announcing the sale of three farms 'under a Commission of Bankruptcy awarded against Humphrey Skelton, upholder'.
