Christopher Hewetson, 1737 – 1798, zug. und WerkstattPortrait des John Campbell, 1. Baron Cawdor FRS FSA (um 1753 - 1821)Höhe: 68 cm.Portrait des John Campbell, 1. Baron Cawdor FRS FSA (um 1753 - 1821).Christopher Hewetson führte eine Büste von John Campbell aus, als dieser 1784 zum ersten Mal Rom besuchte. Die erste Version wird in Cawdor Castle in Nairnshire, Schottland (Roscoe, S. 611) verwahrt. Diese weitere fast identische Version zeichnet sich durch die Abwesenheit der Signatur aus, jedoch bei ähnlich guter Qualität. Von Hewetson wissen wir, dass er Büsten mehrfach ausführte und dann nicht zwangsläufig signierte, wie dies für die Büste von Papst Clemens XIV verbürgt ist. Auch die Marmorbüste von Frau von Kniphausen ist nicht signiert.John Campbell, der später der erste Baron Cawdor of Castlemartin wurde, war italophil und bereiste Italien mehrfach in seinem Leben und wurde zum Beispiel der erste britische Förderer von Antonio Canova. Er bestellte bei dem Bildhauer einige seiner vortrefflichsten Werke wie „Cupido und Psyche“ (Louvre, Paris, Inv.Nr. MR 1777) oder die „Hebe“ (Chatsworth, Trustees of the Devonshire Settlement). Zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts war er einer der größten Landbesitzer Großbritanniens und besaß sowohl die riesigen Ländereien Stackpole Court und Golden Grove in Wales als auch Cawdor Castle in Schottland. Dennoch litt Campbell unter Geldsorgen und war 1800 gezwungen, einen Großteil seiner Kunstsammlung zu verkaufen, darunter auch die Lante-Vase, die sich heute in Woburn Abbey befindet. Canova sprach in einem Brief an Mengs im Juni 1787 über Campbell: „Mein Kopf ist immer noch voll von der guten Zeit, die der Colonel [Campbell] mir geschenkt hat, Gott segne ihn, und ich werde ihn nie vergessen, komme was wolle. Wenn es wahr ist, dass Freundschaft und Dankbarkeit die Lebensgeister eines Menschen heben können, dann werde ich, wenn ich meinen Meißel in die Hand nehme, um für den Colonel zu arbeiten, besser arbeiten, als ich je gearbeitet habe, und vielleicht besser, als ich je für irgendjemand anderen arbeiten werde“ (zitiert in Davis, S. 50). Campbell besuchte Rom zum ersten Mal im Jahr 1784, und es wird angenommen, dass Hewetson zu dieser Zeit die erste Version seines Portraits fertigte, da Campbell an einer Veranstaltung mit Thomas Giffard teilnahm, dessen Portrait im selben Jahr geschaffen wurde. In den Jahren 1786-1787 kehrte er nach Rom zurück. Es erscheint logisch, dass Campbell die vorliegende Büste bei diesem zweiten Besuch in Auftrag gegeben haben könnte.
