Martin Archer Shee, Portrait of Sir William Fairlie
Est: €10,000 - €15,000
Sir William Fairlie (1754-1825) was a successful merchant of the East India Company. Born into a Scottish merchant family, Fairlie ran an agency in India with trading links as far afield as China. As the largest ship owner in Calcutta, he traded in rice, indigo and cotton. After his return to London, he became a Member of Parliament. The Irish painter Sir Martin Archer Shee portrayed Fairlie at the height of his career. The present work must have been painted before 1817, as was another, almost identical version of the portrait with comparable dimensions (Christie's London, 8th April 1998, lot 30). A mezzotint engraving by John Young after Shee´s composition, dated to the same year, is held in the National Portrait Gallery in London (NPG D36636). Sir Henry Raeburn also created a portrait of William Fairlie, showing him in advancing years.

Preyer, The Art of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, 1909; Katharine Baetjer, European Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art by artists born before 1865. A summary catalogue, 1995, illustrated p. 202 This important and intriguing portrait of Daniel O’Connell, the Liberator, is the only known official portrait to depict him with his natural receding hairline, rather than the recognisable mop of brown hair with which he was usually depicted for posterity. O’Connell’s visage was painted by many of the foremost artists of the day, among them Joseph Haverty, whose full length portrait of O’Connell hangs in the Reform Club, London, and David Wilkie, whose dashing portrayal is now on loan to the National Gallery of Ireland. In all known portraits O’Connell wore his customary brown wig. Whilst O’Connell’s baldness is today largely forgotten, in his own time it was a widely known fact thanks to the jibes of satirists and political opponents. In one cartoon, titled The Irish Agitator Tossed by the Papal Bull, O’Connell is sent flying with his hat and wig going in opposite directions, his bald pate exposed to the world. A correspondent for the New York Times described with some relish witnessing O’Connell leave a courtroom, remove his barrister robes and bar wig and don a “curly, nutty-brown ‘jasey’” to cover his baldness.1 O’Connell himself was capable of a joke about his appearance. In one election contest, he commented on the rather plain appearance of his opponent, a conservative barrister by the name of John B. West. Thus taunted, West replied, “it’s all very well for Mr O’Connell to attack me on my appearance, but I can tell you, if you saw Mr O’Connell without his wig, he does not present a face which is much to boast of”, whereupon O’Connell is said to have whipped off his wig for the crowd’s great appreciation". The artist, Sir Martin Archer Shee, one of Ireland’s most successful portrait painters and President of the Royal Academy in London, first met O’Connell in 1825, during the sitting of a Parliamentary Committee. O’Connell was usually reluctant to sit for portraits, but granted Shee the sittings presumably as a compliment to the distinguished Irishman, one of the few Catholics to have forged a successful career in London. The portrait was probably executed in London in or around 1825-30. The earliest known owner of the work was the Hon. W. S. Campbell, United States Consul to Holland (1843-62) and Consul General at Dresden (1862-71), who, according to contemporary accounts, was a well known “connoisseur in many a European art centre”.3 Campbell’s collection was sold in 1899 at the Fifth Avenue Galleries in New York, where financier and philanthropist John D. Crimmins purchased the portrait of O’Connell. Shortly afterwards Crimmins was approached by James Boothby Burke Roche, 3rd Baron Fermoy, who offered him a sum between $1,500 and $1,600 for the work.4 Burke Roche may have been acting on behalf of an institution, as five years later a New York magazine reported that Crimmins had “nobly prevented” the portrait’s return to the British Museum.5 In any case Crimmins declined the offer and instead promptly donated the portrait to the Metropolitan Museum. It first went on exhibit at the Metropolitan in 1900, and was later loaned out to Gracie Mansion in Omaha (1950-54) and the American Bar Association (1961-78). Successive catalogues to the Metropolitan Museum collection document the work. In 1909 it was described as “an excellent character study, suggesting mobility of countenance and fiery temper”, and in 1995 it was illustrated in the summary catalogue of European Paintings by artists born before 1865. However, in recent times the museum staff, whilst researching their collections, compared Shee’s portrait to other known portraits of O’Connell, and were concerned to note the receding hairline. Not realising that the statesman was in fact bald, they decided to de-accession the work, and sold it through Sotheby’s in New York. Since then, a fuller history of the painting’s provenance has come to light, as have the facts of O’Connell’s baldness, enabling the portrait to be once more fully identified as that of one of Ireland’s greatest statesmen, Daniel O’Connell. 1 New York Times, 27 December 1874 2 James E.

SIR MARTIN ARCHER SHEE PRA (1769-1850) Portrait of Master George O'Connor of Castleknock, (1778-1842) Dressed in Red with Buff Breeches Sitting in a Chair Oil on canvas, 76 x 64cm In a Georgian carved and gilded frame Provenance: Painted circa 1786, and then by family descent until sold at Christies, 13 December 1912 (as by George Romney) for 720 guineas; Private collection, USA; Mallet, Bond Street, London where acquired in 2009 by the present owner; Private collection since 2009. Literature: W.G. Strickland, Dictionary of Irish Artists (Dublin and London, 1913) Volume 2, p. 343, as by Martin Archer Shee and painted in Dublin about 1786. Exhibited: An Age of Elegance, Irish Art in the Eighteenth Century, Mallett, Lyons Village, County Kildare, 2008. Sir Martin Archer Shee, the only Irish President of the Royal Academy, was born in Dublin on 20 December 1769, into a family originally from Kilkenny which had subsequently moved to County Mayo. He was sent to school in Dublin and there first evinced the talent as a draughtsman, which subsequently became his hallmark. Shee entered the Dublin Societys Drawing Schools in 1781, at the age of twelve, where under the tutelage of Francis Robert West he won virtually all the medals and prizes for which he was entered, notably the medal for landscape (1782) and portraiture (1783). At the age of 16 or 17, he set up his own studio at 32 Dame Street, Dublin, and, by 1786, was as busy as anyone with one head and two hands can possibly be.. I have pictures in hand to the amount of more than 50 guineas..I am also to receive a silver palette from the Dublin Society in token of the approbation of my pictures. The present painting dates from these years of early success in Dublin and is a very rare example of Shees short period working in his native land. Encouraged by Gilbert Stuart, the American painter then working in Ireland, in June 1788 he moved to England, working initially as a copyist for the engravers Macklin and Boydell. He was subsequently introduced to Sir Joshua Reynolds, who advised him to join the Royal Academy Schools, to which he was admitted in November 1790, just before his 21st birthday, and by the following year he was showing the first of his very many exhibits at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions. He was admitted an Associate of the Academy in 1798 and henceforth his career was that of the hugely successful portrait painter, especially when, after the death of Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1830, he was elected by a large majority as President of the Royal Academy; in the same year he was knighted. Shee was a member of the Society of Dilettanti, the Royal Society and several overseas cultural institutes and academies. Painting apart, he was a poet, critic, and playwright. He died at Brighton on 19th August 1850. George O'Connor was the son of the Rev. John O'Connor of Tipperary (1738-1803), who became vicar of Arboe in 1773, and Rector of Castlenock, County Dublin, in 1794. Like his father before him, George was educated at Trinity College Dublin, where he matriculated on 6 October 1794 at the age of 15, proceeding Bachelor of Arts in the Winter Term of 1799. He was received, like his father, into the ministry, and for more than thirty years was a prebendary of St. Patrick's Cathedral, also serving in succession to his father as rector of the united parishes of Castleknock and Clonsilla in the Dublin Diocese, and of Donaghpatrick in the Diocese of Meath. George died on 14th November 1842 aged sixty-four, and a memorial and bust were erected to his memory at the church in Castleknock. According to the inscription he was a fond and affectionate husband, a wise and tender parent, a tried and valued friend, excelled by none.
