Thomas (1769) Lawrence Sold at Auction Prices

Portrait painter, Miniature painter, b. 1769 - d. 1830

Artist Thomas Lawrence, 18th century England's preeminent portrait artist, had humble beginnings as an innkeeper's son. Despite his lack of education, Lawrence was an art prodigy who ably sketched faithful portraits of the inn's guests. In 1787, his talent led him to London's Royal Academy where, at the age of 18, Lawrence began his formal training as a painter. Two short years later, Thomas Lawrence's paintings had garnered such a reputation that Queen Charlotte commissioned him to paint her portrait. 

Thomas Lawrence's portraits are characterized by their accomplished brushstrokes, colors, and textures, but it was Thomas Lawrence the artist, with his refined manner and flare for the dramatic, that secured his position as the preferred portrait artist of the aristocracy. Collectors can find other classic portrait paintings for sale at auction and online by browsing Invaluable.

  • Thomas Lawrence (Bristol, 1769 – London, 1830) Attributed - Portrait of Lucy Steriker of Dover
    Jul. 15, 2026

    Thomas Lawrence (Bristol, 1769 – London, 1830) Attributed - Portrait of Lucy Steriker of Dover

    Est: €45,000 - €50,000

    Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 95 x 74 cm (unframed). A highly refined and elegant female portrait attributed to Sir Thomas Lawrence, one of the most important British portrait painters of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The young woman is depicted half-length, dressed in a delicate black gown with white lace, holding a pink shawl that provides a subtle chromatic contrast to the composition. The elaborate hairstyle and the softness of the complexion perfectly reflect the English portrait style of the Regency period. The work stands out for the psychological sensitivity of the face and the delicate transition of light, characteristics typical of Lawrence's work, renowned for his ability to capture the aristocratic elegance and individuality of his sitters. The ethereal treatment of the fabrics, the warm atmosphere, and the refined expression recall techniques found in numerous female portraits painted by the artist during the first decades of the 19th century. On the reverse are preserved old handwritten annotations identifying the sitter as “Lucy Steriker of Dover, ” as well as later family genealogical references. These elements provide documentary interest and help to historically contextualize the painting within a British setting. The composition clearly reflects the influence of the great English portraiture of the Georgian tradition, in which Lawrence played a fundamental role as successor to Joshua Reynolds and the leading society painter of his time. The understated elegance of the pose, the direct gaze, and the subtle use of color reinforce the quality and nobility of the portrait. Based on its stylistic characteristics, the quality of the facial modeling, the technical refinement, and the historical inscriptions preserved on the reverse, the work is attributed to Sir Thomas Lawrence. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.

    After Sir Thomas Lawrence, PRA FRS,  British 1769-1830-  Portrait of the Hon. Emily Mary Lamb;  oil on canvas, bears partial Frost & Reed label attached to the reverse of the frame, 70 x 57.3 cm.  Provenance:  with Frost and Reed, 1952, no.9780.  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  The present work is a copy after Lawrence's painting in the National Gallery, London [NG6617], the note of which describes how 'Lawrence has depicted the 16-year old Emily Lamb as though in motion, her head turning back towards the viewer. The pose is one with a long tradition in the history of portraiture, but Lawrence has treated it with a freshness reflected in the informality and economy of his brushwork. He has captured the spirited young girl whom her brother William called "that little devil Emily".  The painting was commissioned by Emily’s father, Peniston Lamb, 1st Earl Melbourne, who can also be seen with his wife in the National Gallery in Stubbs’s The Milbanke and Melbourne Families, of about 1769. At 18 Emily married Peter Leopold Clavering-Cowper, 5th Earl Cowper, and went on to become an influential, politically prominent society hostess. Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, was a regular guest at Emily’s parties and salons, and the pair became lovers. In 1837 Lord Cowper died, and Emily and Palmerston married on 16 December 1839. Lord Palmerston served twice as Prime Minister between 1855 and 1858 and again from 1859 to 1865.'

(32 1/4 x 28 in.)) Provenance: Belton House, Lincolnshire; Private Collection, thence by family decent Literature Kenneth Garlick in ‘A Catalogue of Paintings, Drawings and Pastels of Sir Thomas Lawrence’, Walpole Society, XXXIX, 1962–64, p. 292 Notes: This portrait of Lady Caroline Hobart (d. 1850) by Sir Thomas Lawrence has only recently come to light. The composition repeats a three-quarter-length version of the canvas that was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1793 painted when Lawrence was just twenty-four years old. This canvas remains in the collection of her descendants.1 Lady Caroline was the second of the three daughters of John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire (1723–93) and his first wife, Mary Anne Drury. At the death of her father she inherited the Blickling Estate, now the property of the National Trust. The commission for both portraits must have been prompted by the sitter’s marriage to the Hon. William Assheton Harbord (1766–1821) on 4 June 1792 at St George’s, Hanover Square, London. He succeeded his father as 2nd Baron Suffield on 4 February 1810. The larger version was probably intended for the sitter’s father, and the other for her husband. Lawrence’s work was first shown at the Academy in 1790 and the bravura technique and the originality of his compositions were immediately admired and his portrait of Lady Caroline shows both these innovative characteristics. The unusual pose, the sitter’s head turned sharply to her right with her right elbow resting on a plinth and seated above a river landscape has Lawrence’s characteristic relaxed assurance while the handing of the head shows the painter’s distinctive energetic brushwork. Although commissioned in 1793, neither of the portraits of Lady Caroline were delivered until after Lawrence’s death. Lawrence’s disorganized studio and the gout that killed Lord Buckinghamshire in August 1793 may have contributed to the amnesia regarding the portraits and the two canvases were included in a list of the contents of the studio by Lawrence’s executor, Archibald Knightley. The list totalled 430 items that included nearly 150 portraits, some of which were left unfinished. A manuscript entitled ‘Claims’, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum,2 includes the two portraits as number 194 and the curious comment, ‘Orig[inal] & copy — both unfinished. about 1/2 ‘. The larger painting, which cost £52.10s, appears entirely autograph whereas the painting presently offered by Chiswick Auctions was left unfinished and completed by one of Lawrence’s assistants after his death. It was bought by the sitter for £26.5s. Both paintings were delivered to the sitter in November 1832. The ‘Claims’ document described both paintings as ‘unfinished’ and, while the larger canvas in a private collection seems complete, this is a correct description of the canvas presently offered. The costume below the neckline and the background landscape do not have the detailed brushstrokes that enliven the face, the hand and the decorative ruff and these areas of the canvas are just blocked in. There is every reason to believe that Lawrence put the canvas aside in 1793, and neither he, nor his studio, ever touched the canvas again.

    Est: £400 - £600

    Follower of George Henry Harlow,  British 1787-1819-  Portrait of a woman, seated three-quarter length, wearing a brown dress and a white bonnet;  oil on copper, 35.8 x 30.5 cm.  Provenance:  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  Harlow worked under Samuel Drummond (1766-1844) and in the studio of Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830). His elegant portraits clearly exhibit the influence of Lawrence's approach, particularly in the theatrical red curtains which often surround his sensitively-painted sitters. The present painting is heavily reminiscent of Harlow's portraits, recalling, for example, works which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 30 November 2000, lot 127, and at Christie's, London, on 6 July 2007, lot 127. It also resembles a portrait by Harlow in the collection of the V&A [P.41-1962].

Indeed, this portrait, for example, recalls Lawrence's portrait of Charles Gardiner which sold at Christie's, New York, on 31 January 2024, lot 195, and his portrait of Thomas Dawson, which sold at Sotheby's, New York, on 28 January 2022, lot 422.

It recalls, for example, Lawrence's portrait of an unidentified gentleman which sold at Woolley & Wallis on 12 August 2021, lot 641 (£15,000 hammer), and his portrait of 'Sir Codrington Edmund Carrington' in the Victoria & Albert Museum [no.1359-1874].  Henry Hakewill was a prominent architect, who studied at the Royal Academy and under John Yenn (1750-1821). He was appointed architect to Rugby School in 1809, and went on to design many of the school's Gothic buildings, and chapel. He also completed commissions for the Radcliffe Trustees in Oxford, the Middle Temple in London, as well as designing St Peter's Church in Eaton Square, which was first built in 1824-27, and, after being destroyed by fire, was rebuilt using Hakewill's drawings by one of his sons in 1837.

Literature: J. Farington, The Diary of Joseph Farington, J. Greig (ed.), London 1923, vol.

Garlick, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Oxford, 1989, p. 189, cat. no. 304.Note: Sir William Forbes, sixth baronet of Pitsligo (1739-1806) was a banker, author and generous philanthropist. Beginning his career as an apprentice to the Coutts brothers in Edinburgh, reportedly spending only one night out of Edinburgh during his first five years, he was fully admitted to the firm in 1763. Forbes became an influential voice in the Merchant’s Company of Edinburgh and frequently acted as financial advisor to William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), who offered him several parliamentary seats and, in 1799, an Irish peerage, but Forbes refused these honours. His paternal grandmother, Mary Forbes, was a sister of Alexander, 4th Lord Forbes of Pitsligo (1678-1762), attainted after the Jacobite rising of 1745, and Forbes made it is his duty to restore the title and estate.Sir William inherited the baronetcy of Nova Scotia from his father. When he succeeded to the arms of Pitsligo in 1781, he brought his philanthropic endeavours, already felt widely through Edinburgh, to Aberdeenshire, where he laid out the village of New Pitsligo and made ample provision for its residents. Forbes was known as a convivial conversationalist in both Scotland and London, where he was a member of Samuel Johnson's Literary Club and a friend of Sir Joshua Reynolds, for whom he also sat (National Galleries Scotland, Edinburgh).
