AFTER THOMAS PHILLIPSPORTRAIT OF GENERAL LORD HUTCHINSON OF ALEXANDRIA HOLDING A MAP OF EGYPTOil on canvasLater inscribed 'General Lord Hutchinson by Phillips' (lower left)127 x 102cm (50 x 40 in.) Literature:F. Sitwell, Weston Hall, Towchester, Northamptonshire: A Brief Guide, Northampton, 1993, p. 4, in the Dining Room.Catalogue Note:This oil on canvas portrait of John Hely-Hutchinson, 2nd earl of Donoughmore (1757-1832), is a close copy of a painting by Thomas Phillips (1770-1845) in the Royal Collection (RCIN 402776). The Royal canvas has near-identical dimensions to the portrait offered here - 50 x 40 ins. (127 x 102 cm.). The Royal portrait was painted in 1811 for George IV for 80 guineas in recognition of George's friendship with the sitter, who, as of 1803, had advised him on the governance of Ireland, and on the pacification of Queen Caroline. Lord Hutchinson was a well-known confident of George, when Prince of Wales, and became a regular visitor to Brighton Pavilion. The painting is recorded from the early-mid 19th century as having been at Carlton House, Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. Lord Hutchinson, army officer and politician, had an illustrious army career fighting against Napoleon's French revolutionary armies. In 1801, he commanded the first division of Sir Ralph Abercromby's army, which landed in Egypt on 10 March, and defeated the French at the battle of Alexandria. In December the same year, he was created Baron Hutchinson of Alexandria and of Knocklofty, co. Tipperary, with a pension of £2000 a year. He also received the new Turkish order of the Crescent in brilliants in March 1802. In 1825, he succeeded his brother as 2nd earl of Donoughmore and 2nd Viscount Hutchinson. He died, unmarried, at Knocklofty, co. Tipperary, in 1832, and was succeeded as earl and viscount by his nephew John Hely-Hutchinson (1787-1851). Colonel the Hon. Henry Hely-Hutchinson (1790-1874), the brother of the latter, and a professional solider who had served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, married Harriet Wrightson (1788-1864) in 1825. Harriet Wrightson had inherited Weston Hall in 1809 through her aunt Mary Heber. Their fourth daughter, Louisa Lucy, married Sir Reresby Sitwell, Bt., in 1857, and hence the link with the Sitwell family.Condition Report: The canvas is not relined. There is some very fine craquelure throughout and some light surface dirt. There is some flaking and paint loss to the lower edge and a few further minor losses to the lower left quadrant. Inspection under UV reveals scattered retouching to the lower edge and a green masking varnish, which is uneven and may conceal further restoration. Otherwise, in generally good condition. Some minor scuffs and abrasions to the frame.Condition Report Disclaimer
