Sir Thomas Lawrence PRA (Bristol 1769-1830 London) Portrait of Caroline Upton, bust-length, in profile to the left pencil and black chalk on paper 21.8 x 17.9cm (8 9/16 x 7 1/16in). Footnotes: Provenance The Collection of John M. Schiff Sale, Sotheby's London, 10 November 1994, lot 49 Private Collection, UK Sale, Bonhams, London, 6 July 2022, lot 72, where acquired The present work has traditionally been identified as 'Mrs Fitzhugh', according to an erroneous inscription on the mount. However, the sitter is certainly Caroline Upton (d. 1862), second daughter of the 1st Baron Templeton, who married James Singleton in 1804. Following the death of Lawrence's lover, Sally, Mrs Siddons's eldest daughter, in 1803, he formed a close attachment to both the Upton sisters, Caroline and Sophia and painted both their portraits (see: K. Garlick, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Oxford, 1989, pp. 274-5, nos. 780, 781). A very similar drawing of Sally Siddons by Lawrence, also from the collection of John M. Schiff, was offered at Sotheby's, London, 11 April 1991, lot 35. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
