17868168London: Published by J. R. Smith No. 83 Oxford Street 1786. Coloured mezzotint. In good condition with the exception of some faint soiling in upper margin. Bottom margin outside platemark is coated with white paint. Water stains on verso of sheet not noticeable on front of sheet. Image size: 14 3/4 x 17 inches. Plate size: 17 7/8 x 19 5/8 inches. Sheet size: 19 5/8 x 20 inches. A wonderful mezzotint after Rev. Matthew William Peters by one of the finest eighteenth century engravers.<br/> <br/> This charming print is engraved after a painting by Rev. Matthew William Peters and is a fascinating example of this period in British printmaking. Matthew Peters was trained in London under the portraitist Thomas Hudson. He quickly became a prominent member of the Society of Artists exhibiting portraits in oil and pastel and attracting a number of prominent aristocratic patrons including the Duke of Manchester the Marquess of Granby and Lord Grosvenor for whom he painted some of his most controversial pictures. Urged by his patrons Peters painted a series of quasi-erotic character studies of courtesans which at that time were quite unusual in Britain. These controversial pictures were eagerly reproduced by industrious printmaker/publishers such as Smith and caused a flurry of curious customers to hurry to London print-shops. Following his ordination in 1781 Peters quickly denounced his early erotic pictures as immoral. Upon being appointed Honorary Chaplain to the Royal Academy Peters expressed a profound regret "that he ever devoted his talents to such subjects". With this in mind this picture becomes extremely interesting. In this work Peters continues to observe and appreciate charming subjects in fancy costumes but eliminates the erotic overtones present in his earlier works. Instead he has chosen to depict an age-old moral subject fortune-telling an institution in western art since the Renaissance. This print which is expertly engraved by one of the finest eighteenth century printmakers is a fascinating view into a turbulent period in Peters' life when he struggled to produce images that would appeal to his viewers while remaining true to his moral beliefs.<br/> <br/> D'Oench Copper into Gold: Prints by John Raphael Smith 1751-1812 p. 224 No. 274; Smith Catalogue No. 135 & 136; Ackermann 1802 p. 9 described as companion prints; Chaloner Smith British Mezzotinto Portraits Ward 97 Smith 186; Frankau An 18th Century Artist and Engraver: John Raphael Smith 146.

In good condition apart from some overall light surface soiling and foxing. Occasional rubbed creases throughout image. Laid down onto cream wove backing paper. Image size: 13 1/16 x 10 15/16 inches. This charming portrait of the fashionable Catherine Schindlerin expertly illustrates Smith's superior technique and artistic ingenuity.<br/> <br/> Catherine Schinderlin was a German singer and actress who began her career in London in 1775 the year Reynolds did this portrait for the Duke and Duchess of Dorset. It shows the actress in the role of the "Coquette" from an as yet unidentified play or opera. A highly influential figure in the late eighteenth-century British art world John Raphael Smith was the most robust and prolific printmaker of his time. During his prodigious career Smith produced nearly 400 prints 130 of which were of his own design. The remainder reproduced paintings by such noted British artists as Joshua Reynolds George Romney and Joseph Wright of Derby. Smith was an incredibly astute businessman and soon became an impresario of the print-publishing trade. At the 1783 exhibition of the Society of Artists Smith exhibited his print of the Prince of Wales. This clever bit of marketing precipitated his appointment as the Prince of Wales' mezzotint engraver immediately making him even more desirable to an art market hungry for quality prints.

17846627London: Published by J. Birchall 1784. Mezzotint. In excellent condition with the exception that the lower margin is trimmed along the plate mark. A beautiful mezzotint after the sentimental genre painting by William Redmore Bigg.<br/> <br/>William Redmore Bigg 1755-1828 was a popular London genre painter who is best known for his family tableaux depicting acts of charity. Of these this scene in which an aristocratic lady attended by her daughters young black servant and dog visit a poor "cottager" is one of the best. The original painting 1781 is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. John Raphael Smith 1752-1812 engraved the mezzotint for John Boydell the leading London printseller which tells the story admirably. It is a sentiment expressed without irony though we now consider the black servant boy in livery and turban politically insensitive. He too looks on the poor woman and her sleeping child with pity. Nor are the silk dressesextragant hats lap dog and silk parasol that the Lord's family sport intended for criticism: this is an idealised version of recommended behavior. The littlest girl overcome by this encounter with poverty cries as she hands over the money and we understand that this is part of her moral education. The composition is appealing and successful. The Lady whose fine country house can be seen in the distance forms the apex of the pyramidal group just as her generous act is the apex of a good and stable society. At this time virtually all "welfare" was local and critical to the large portion of the English population lived in want. Nevertheless it was only beginning to be thought that the wealthy had any obligation to the poor and it was generally accepted that acts like these were and ought to be wholly voluntary. This is an ideal example of the print clearly an early impression in which silks and satins gleam curls and ribbons swirl. Published by J. Birchall unknown books
