[Untitled self-portrait of Sir Joshua Reynolds.]
[Sir J. Reynolds pinx.t. Caroline Kirkley sculp.t.]
[London Pub.d as the Act Directs, March 15. 1795. by A. Molteno, Printseller to her Royal Highness the Duchess of York, No. 76, St James's Street.]
Mezzotint, proof before letters, inscription area uncleaned. 375 x 280mm (14¾ x 11"). Collector's stamp on reverse, large margins.
A half-length self portrait of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), in a jacket with a high colour, depicted in a plain frame. The engraver was the daughter of Ralph Kirkley, Reynolds' man-servant for over 30 years, and was brought up in Reynolds' house in Leicester Square. In 1789 she was apprenticed to J.R. Smith for 5 years for £50 premium, probably as a print colourist as this is the only known mezzotint by her. She also exhibited as the RA in 1796 and 1797; an engraving after her portrait of Thomas Bewick was publishd in 1798 (see ref 33972).
Hamilton p.57, i of iii; CS 123, before i of ii; Russell i of iii. Ex: collections of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd and Alfred Morrison (1821-1897),.
