IRISH SCHOOL (EARLY 18TH CENTURY)
Portrait of an Architect, standing three quarter length wearing a red velvet coat with blue sash, with a key of office and holding an architectural design
Oil on canvas, 110 x 75cm
Provenance: Rathescar House, Co. Louth
The subject of this portrait has defied identification. He holds a plan of a mantelpiece which approximates to the William Kent design for one at Houghton Hall but which was adapted by Edward Lovett Pearse for Dublin Castle and Henrietta Street. Surface cleaning revealed a key and a blue sash, presumably a badge of office. The style and subject of the portrait suggests an affinity to Francis Bindon.
