The Pastel Portraits of Mrs Frances Vandewall,
and her mother Mrs Mary Ingram
probably late 1730's.
by William Hoare of Bath (1706 -99).
(Post in preparation.)
I am extremely grateful to art historian Tancrède Hertzog for alerting me to the existence of these two portraits and providing me with the photographs.
Whilst not immediately relevant to the study of portrait sculpture in the 18th century, these two portraits help to place members of the wealthy Quaker Vandewall family into the artistic milieu of the mid 18th century.
I have previously written at some length on the Vandewall family in particular about Samuel and Martha Vandewall and ownership of the bust of Alexander Pope by Roubiliac.
From 1751 they lived at Lindsey House, Arch Row, Lincolns Inn Fields conversion designed by Isaac Ware - his family were pained by Reynolds, Hudson, Knapton Benjamin West and miniatures by Gervase Spencer.
