Ingres Rome 1815. C. Hullmandel's Lithography.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Lithograph. Sheet 300 x 210mm (11¾ x 8¼"). Very light foxing and surface dirt. Small crease at bottom.
A half-length portrait of Katherine Anne Douglas, sketched in Rome by John Dominique Ingres. The portrait was one of four drawn directly onto one stone by the painter, but designed to be cut. The other sitters were: her brother Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guildford; her husband, Sylvester; and son Frederick Sylvester Douglas. The four portraits are lauded as masterpieces of the classical art of drawing. So great is their mastery that experts have disputed whether Ingres, having no previous documented experience of lithography, could have achieved such a feat. However, Felix Man argues convincingly that in Rome Ingres would have had the necessary facilities likely found at the printing and publishing establishment of Giovanni Dall'Armi (XXI-XXII, Man 1953). Though the portraits were drawn by Ingres in Rome, the family took the stone back to England to be printed by Charles Hullmandel in 1820, when he added the sitters' titles and biographical dates.
