A fine small-scale portrait of Julia Tatham, daughter of Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842), and sister of Frederick Tatham (1805-1878). George Richmond and Frederick Tatham were both members of the circle of artists formed around Samuel Palmer in Shoreham, who were influenced by William Blake in his final years. Around 1825, Julia's father appointed George Richmond as a drawing tutor to his daughter, the beautiful 14 year old Julia. The relationship was initially encouraged, but when a wealthy older suitor appeared, Charles Tatham changed his mind, forcing the young couple to elope to Gretna Green, where they were married on 24th January 1831. Samuel Palmer loaned George Richmond the substantial sum of £40 to aid their elopement. The father forgave the couple after he was reassured by the artist John Linnell that his daughter's new husband had a promising future in the art world. (1)
