Tutored by her clergyman father, she taught herself ancient and modern languages, history, geography, astronomy and mathematics. She was also most proficient in needlework and domestic science. Elizabeth Carter rapidly gained a reputation as a poet, essay writer and translator of Epictetus, the Greek philosopher. She made a decision not to marry so that she could continue to study and write and remain independent. She became a member of the 'Bluestockings' a group of likeminded, freethinking literary women. She was praised in society circles as an example of what women could achieve in the enlightened 18th century England. Modern feminists now acknowledge that she made female intellectual endeavour respectable. Old inscription re the sitter to the reverse. A damage by her eyes, foxing to her chest, dirty and with craquelure overall.

Henry Calvert (British, 1798-1870) "Sea Cove", Mrs I Spink's Red Bitch pup, winner of the Waterloo Cup, 1870 oil on canvas 68 x 88cm (27 x 34in) Provenance: Private collection, London. "Sea Cove" was born in 1868, a red bitch by "Strange Idea" out of "Curiosity", and was a puppy when winning the Cup, as the property of Mr Spinks who bought her from Mr Hyslop of Denton Hall, Carlisle, who bred her. "Sea Cove" had previously divided a 32-puppy stake at Bampton, and also the Great Bothal St Leger of a 142 dog stake. In the mid-1800's, railway travel made it easy for all comers to go coursing, and vast crowds attended the principal meetings at places like Altcar, Ashdown Park, and Stonehenge. Coursing has always been a sport for all. Coursing as we know it today traces from the foundation of the first public coursing club at Swaffham in Norfolk in 1776. The club is still thriving. When the Carmichael meetings were run in Lanarkshire, the Scottish coalfield was virtually idle. At big Northern meetings at places like Bothal in Northumberland, most of the runners were owned by pitmen whose dogs ran with the same chance as those of local grandees such as the Duke of Leeds. Since 1836, the Waterloo Cup has been run at Altcar. 723 WS - old Christie's stencil on the reverse. Relined and cleaned.
