    Est: £15,000 - £25,000

    THOMAS FRYE (ANGLO-IRISH 1710-1762) PORTRAIT OF A LADYOil on canvas, feigned ovalSigned and dated `1755' (lower right)75 x 61cm (29½ x 24 in.)In an elaborate Rococo frame Thomas Frye was an Irish portrait painter. As a boy in Ireland he was influenced by artists such as Rosalba Carrera. In 1735, he travelled to London with Herbert Stoppelaer (active 1730 - 1775). There he studied under John Brooks of Battersea Enamel Factory. During his career Frye painted the portraits of many members of London society including Jeremy Bentham (1760), and Henry Crispe of the Custom House (1746), as well as for royalty with his later portraits showing the influence of Hogarth, including Frederick, Prince of Wales in Garter Robes (1741). The present lot was painted in 1755, a relatively late work for the artist. In 1744 Frye took out a patent for the manufacture of artificial soft-paste porcelain, which by 1749, had received the backing of the Peers family and was in full production at the Bow Porcelain Factory. By 1759 however, the prolonged exposure to the environment of the factory furnaces had taken its toll on Frye's health. He died of consumption in 1762.

    Est: €10,000 - €15,000

    THOMAS FRYE (c.1710-1762) Portrait of Thomas Fane, 8th Earl of Westmorland, of Brympton D’Evercy in Somerset (1701-1771), three-quarter length Oil on unlined canvas, and contained in its fine original carved and gilded frame, 127 x 102cm (50 x 40¼”) Provenance: By descent at Brympton D’Evercy, Somerset, to Lady Georgiana Fane (1801-1874); her nephew the Hon. Spencer Ponsonby-Fane (d. 1915), younger son of the 4th Earl of Bessborough, and thence in the Clive-Ponsonby-Fane collection until the contents were largely dispersed in 1956; Private Collection Thomas Frye, from Edenderry, County Offaly, was the most extraordinarily inventive of Irish Georgian artists, and arguably the most underappreciated – at home at least. His achievements are better appreciated internationally, indeed Martin Postle argues that he is one of the ‘most intriguing and original artists to have emerged in Britain during the eighteenth century’. His activities straddled the dividing lines between the fine, graphic and applied arts – just at the moment when specialisation was becoming the norm. As his epitaph noted he was the ‘inventor and first manufacturer of porcelain in England’ at his factory in Bow, east of London, while, as Josiah Wedgwood put it, in 1769 he was ‘famous for doing heads in mezzotinto’, and his prints (‘dazzlingly innovative’, in Toby Barnard’s phrase) are among the most sought-after of all mezzotints. However, he was first and foremost a portrait painter, and he had enjoyed great success in the profession since winning a commission to paint a full-length state portrait of Fredrick, Prince of Wales for the Saddlers’s Company in the City of London in November 1736. As his epitaph noted: ‘No one was more happy in delineating the human countenance, He had the correctness of Van Dyke, & the colouring of Rubens’. Even Ellis Waterhouse who is generally grudging in his praise of Irish artists noted that Frye was ‘one of the most original and least standardised portrait painters of his generation’. Frye’s career in London exemplifies the period’s incipient globalization – of materials and motifs. He attempted to emulate Chinese porcelain technology with, it seems, clay imported from North America, while his pioneering production of mezzotint scraping imitated, quite openly, the work of the Venetian painter and printmaker Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. Reciprocally, Frye was directly influential on artists of rather greater reputation than his own. John Singleton Copley, as a young man in Boston (where Bow porcelain was advertised as being for sale), copied Frye’s mezzotint heads, while some of Wright of Derby’s most famous – and paradoxically innovative – works have been shown to quote almost verbatim from the same series. The portrait depicts Thomas Fane (1701-1771), the second son of Henry Fane of Brympton d'Evercy in Somerset (fig. 1), a manor house often described as the prettiest in England. In 1757 Fane succeeded his unmarried elder brother Francis to their father's Brympton estate and in 1762 inherited the title of Earl of Westmoreland, and the seat at Apethorpe Hall, in Northamptonshire from John Fane, 7th Earl of Westmorland, his father's childless second-cousin – and one of Marlborough’s most distinguished officers. It was for the sitter’s grandson, John, the 10th Earl, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland between 1789 and 1794, that Westmorland Street in Dublin was named. In another historical twist, in 1762 Thomas’s daughter Mary, married Charles Blair, a wealthy owner of plantations in Jamaica, who was the great-great grandfather of Eric Arthur Blair, better known to history as George Orwell, making Frye’s sitter here Orwell’s great-great-great grandfather. An instructive comparison can be made between the present portrait, which dates from about 1740 and a later portrait of the same sitter by Sir Joshua Reynolds (fig. 2), especially interesting as we know that Frye was on very cordial terms with the younger artist. Reynolds’s full length dates from 1761 and hence shows the sitter as noticeably older but recognisably the same, genial and rather bluff individual. Perhaps helping to date the work, and certainly indicative of Frye’s studio practice, the hands, particularly that resting on his hip, are almost identically positioned in his 1739 portrait of Sir Charles Kemeys-Tynte (fig. 3) (National Gallery of Ireland). No doubt a shared preparatory drawing was reused, rather than the artist trying his sitters’ patience by depicting their hands individually.

They were produced by first adhering a mezzotint print face down to a sheet of glass with varnish. Then the verso of the print was abraded all over to a very thin layer. The altered support was then painted in from behind with watercolour or oil paint. Another example of this glass print is housed in the Winterthur Museum Collection, Delaware, USA.

    THOMAS FRYE (1710-1762) Portrait of an Elderly Gentleman in Brown Velvet Jacket Oil on canvas, 75 x 62cm Signed, dated 1745 and inscribed 'Aged 88' Provenance: With Gimbel Brothers, New York; Sale, Sotheby's New York, 17th January 1991, Lot no. 124, where purchased. Born in Edenderry, Co. Offaly into an Anglo-Irish family, he went as a young man to London where he commenced painting portraits in oils, pastel, charcoal and in miniature. Frye’s big break came with the commission from the Hall of the Saddlers, Cheapside in London to paint a full-length portrait of Frederick, Prince of Wales. This important work brought the young artist a great deal of attention and was the catalyst for a successful practice as a portrait painter. He developed a close and life-long friendship with Sir Joshua Reynolds. Described by Walter Strickland as a clever and versatile artist, in 1744 he became interested in a project for making porcelain and with Edward Heyleyn developed the Bow factory. Frye became manager and for a period of fifteen years devoted virtually all his time and energy to the creation of porcelain of distinction. However, he was forced in 1759 to withdraw from the management of the business due to ill-health and resumed his portraiture practice. Frye’s artistic legacy also includes the development of the mezzotint into an artform in itself - a printmaking process which enabled half-tones to be produced without using line or dot-based techniques, achieving tonality with a high level of quality and richness which was particularly useful in the production of portraits. In the 18th century the mezzotint was viewed largely as a reproductive process slavishly copying the fashionable portraits of the day. However, Frye was using mezzotint as a form of artistic expression in itself, his head series of portraits were conceived as mezzotints, executed as mezzotints, as original works of art and so from an 18th century point of view his approach was completely unique.

Provenance:Sale, Christie's, London, 19 June 2012, lot 100 The Irish-born Thomas Frye was one of the most original artists and designers of the 18th century. He engraved a celebrated series of life-size heads in mezzotint as well as being the founder and manager of the Bow porcelain factory in East London where he designed many of the early figures. Ill-health from the factory caused him to retire to Wales in 1759 when he took up oil painting again, from when this portrait likely dates.

GERMAN THOMAS, FRYE 1710 Dublin - 1762 London, zugeschrieben Bildnis der Herzogin von Braunschweig Öl auf Lwd. 75 x 64,5 cm. Doubliert. Min. rest. Rahmen. Thomas Frye übersiedelte 1734 nach London. Dort war er als Porträtmaler tätig und schuf Bildnisse bedeutender Persönlichkeiten seiner Zeit, u.a. ein Bildnis des Prinzen von Wales. Darüber hinaus war er einer der Mitbegründer einer der ersten Porzellanmanufakturen Englands in Stratford-Le-Bow und sicherte sich mehrere Patente. Des Weiteren war er bekannt für seine Mezzotinto-Arbeiten. Fryes Bildnisse stehen zu Anfang seines Wirkens noch in der Tradition von William Hogarth, zunehmend entwickelte er aber eine hohe Präzision in der Wiedergabe von Stofflichkeiten und in der Delikatesse des Lichtspiels. Die Porträtierte Augusta Frederika of Wales (1737 - 1813) war die Tochter von Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales (1707-1751) und Augusta von Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg, Schwester von König George III von Großbritannien. 1764 heiratete sie Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand von Braunschweig-Lüneburg, mit dem sie sieben Kinder hatte. Das Gemälde zeigt sie als junge Braut und entstand somit kurz vor ihrer Eheschließung. 1806 floh Augusta vor den französischen Truppen nach England.
