Description: UK PRICE 2995 GBP. Oil on canvas in reproduction gilt frame. Signed and dated lower left 'C. Sommers Pinxt 1745'. This pleasing portrait is absolutely typical of its period. The artist clearly influenced by Thomas Hudson who was the fashionable portrait painter of the time. CHARLES SOMMERS (fl. 1739-1753) worked in London and is known as a painter of small-scale full lengths often in the manner of Arthur Devis. This Hudsonesque portrait is not characteristic of Sommers; perhaps it was a special commission or an image of a member of his family? He was successful enough to take on Richard Linnell as his apprentice in August 1752. His large group portrait of 'Sir William More-Molyneaux and Family'of 1739 is at Losely. SIZE: 38 x 32.5 inches inc. frame. PROVENANCE: Wiltshire private collection
