Source; Paul Mellon Centre Photographic Archive: Sir Everard Radcliffe, Bart, M. C, Christie's sale 24 November 1972, lot 105, bought Ledbury Gallery. Biography from the Archives of askART: Sir Henry Raeburn was born on March 4, 1756 in Stockbridge, Scotland near Edinburgh. He was a Scottish miller's son whose idealized aristocrats, always gentle and charming, seem to pose in perpetual twilight. He began his career as a miniaturist. In 1778, after marrying into comfortable circumstances, he visited London where he met Reynolds. In 1785 he went to Italy, where he remained for two years. On his return to Edinburgh he became the most important Scottish painter of the century, his career in many ways paralleling that of Reynolds. In 1811 he was elected President of the Royal Society of Artists and in 1815, a Royal Academician. He was knighted by George IV in 1822, when the sovereign was visiting Scotland. Art was a business to this most distinguished of Scotch painters, and from 9 AM to 5:30 PM it kept him regularly in his studio, where he painted a succession of three to four sitters a day. He painted directly on canvas without preliminary sketches, achieving a kind of spontaneity. When he left his easel, it was to speculate in real estate or to play golf. Raeburn died in Edinburgh on July 8, 1823. Written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California. Sources include: Masterpieces of Art, Catalogue of the New York World's Fair 1940.

PROPERTY OF A TEXAS MUSEUM PROVENANCE: Galerie Charles Sedelmeyer, Paris, as of 1899; M.H. Rosenheim, as of 1911 (1); Newhouse Galleries, New York, as of 1961 (label on backing board, inv. no. 15049) (2); Bertram Maurice Newhouse (1883-1982); Presented by him in 1969 to the present owner. LITERATURE: Illustrated Catalogue of the Fifth Series of 100 Paintings by Old Masters of the Dutch, Flemish, Italian, French, and English Schools, Being a Portion of the Sedelmeyer Gallery..., Paris, 1899, p. 110, no. 91. illustrated; J. Greig, Sir Henry Raeburn, R.A. His Life and Works, with a Catalogue of His Pictures, London, 1911, p. 63. On stylistic grounds, the present work may be dated to Raeburn's later years when he began to essay more elaborate, dramatic compositions in keeping with his interest in the current mode of London-based portraiture. (In 1810 he considered moving to the British capital, but then changed his mind and returned to his base in Edinburgh.) Here, for example, the child, in a muslin dress, reaches up with her right hand at a rose proffered by Mrs. Young, all of which forms a pyramidal composition in the upper half of the painting field. This touching gesture appears in another painting by Raeburn, John Tait and His Grandson (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), which began c. 1793 as a portrait of Tait alone, but was supplemented after his death by the figure of a grandson (gazing up at Tait's watch) in about 1800. As with that painting, the child's costume "spreads out in an amorphous way in order to fill the canvas." Moreover, the sitters' heads in both works "are strongly lit (not from the glowing sky but from studio top-lighting), a feature characteristic of Raeburn's style by 1800....," (J. Hayes, The Collections of the National Gallery of Art, Systematic Catalogue: British Paintings of the Sixteenth through Nineteenth Centuries, Cambridge, 1992, p. 200). According to a handwritten inscription on an old label affixed to the painting's stretcher, the woman sitter is "Mrs. Graham Young of West Calder N.B.," a town some twenty miles southwest of Edinburgh. No further information is known about Mrs. Young, who may have been related by marriage to Raeburn's lawyer, in his later years, Arthur Young, but this remains a hypothesis only. A notable feature of this painting is the prominence given to Mrs. Young's supporting left hand, on which is a brilliantly painted, elaborate jeweled ring. That feature recalls Raeburn's early apprenticeship with an Edinburgh jeweler, James Gilliland, which had repercussions on his later work. As one student of the artist, Duncan Thomson, writes: "While Raeburn's portraits at the height of his career are marked by a consummate breadth of handling, they often contain passages of finely wrought detail that are easy to link to his earliest training." (www.oxfordartonline.com http://www.oxfordartonline.com; entry on Sir Henry Raeburn) The canvas support, a prepared twill weave, is a consistent one throughout Raeburn's career (see essay by J. Dick, "Raeburn's Methods and Material," in exh. cat., Edinburgh, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Raeburn: The Art of Sir Henry Raeburn, 1756-1823 [cat. by D. Thompson],1997, pp. 41-42). The first record of this work dates from 1899, when it was owned by the prominent Vienna-born, Paris- and London-based art dealer, Charles Sedelmeyer (1837-1925). Over several decades the Sedelmeyer Gallery owned a very large stock, which included forty paintings by Sir Henry Raeburn (on that subject, see O. Meslay, "Raeburn and France," in Henry Raeburn: Context, Reception and Reputation [ed. by V. Coltman and S. Lloyd], Edinburgh, 2012, pp. 341-343). NOTES: (1) For the previous collection history, see J. Greig, 1911, cited above. A chalk inscription "Rosenheim" appears on the painting's stretcher. (2) See advertisement in Antiques, LXXX, September 1961, p. 286. The Newhouse Gallery inventory number is inscribed on a label on the painting's backing. HID04901242017
