Beschreibung

- The Scottish portrait painter Francis Grant's signature penned with the date onto 2-3/8 inch high by 4-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper: "Francis Grant / April 21 / 1869". The autograph is mounted with glue from the verso onto heavier stock. The corners are clipped and there is some slight darkening to the top left corner. Very good. The Scottish portrait painter Francis Grant (1803-1878) was one of the hunting set at Melton Mowbray where he took the opportunity to study with the artist John Ferneley. He first acquired a reputation for his paintings of sporting subjects including a group of portraits of Queen Victoria riding with Lord Melbourne in Windsor Park. Also noteworthy is Grant's cabinet painting of Sir Walter Scott. A member of the Royal Academy, Grant was elected it's president in 1866. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 96488
