PORTRAIT OF MR. EDWARD TAYLOR; PORTRAIT OF MRS. TAYLOR, Pair of oils on canvas laid down on panels
29.8" x 24.5" - 75.6 x 62.2 cm.
Provenance:
The family of the sitter by descent;
George Davidson Fine Art Dealer, Glasgow, Scotland
Note:
According to an original newspaper clipping from Mr. George Davidson to the reverse of the former with caption: "Two Romney Portraits, Discovery of Unrecorded Examples", this companion pair were unknown to Romney biographers. The portrait of Mrs. Edwards is first recorded in the artist's cash-book in December 1784 and in January 1785, Romney records the first installment for the portrait of Mr. Edwards. The portraits had remained in the possession of a descendant of Mrs. Taylor until they came into the market and sold by George Davidson Fine Art Dealer in the 19th Century.
