JULIUS CAESAR IBBETSON (1759-1817) THE ANGLERS` ALEHOUSE signed and dated 17[92], panel, 26 x 32.5cm From 1787 to 1793 Ibbetson was living at Kilburn at that time a rural Middlesex hamlet. He often painted the surrounding countryside around Hampstead, Child`s Hill, Willesden and the River Brent. R M Clay considered the present work to be painted at Stonebridge and Ibbetson exhibited a picture of that title at the RA in 1792. When Clay was writing the `92` of the date was clearly visible, the cataloguer of the Kenward Exhibition in 1957 states that the last two figures of the date were no longer visible. In describing ""the little gem, glowing with sunshine"" she observes that Ibbetson painted the same alehouse more than once. If, as seems likely it is of Stonebridge it must have been Mr Reid`s Alehouse, the scene of George Morland`s Alehouse Kitchen.` Provenance: F R Meatyard, London from whom bought by George P Henzell Esq on 8th May 1940 for £10.0.0.; thence by descent to the vendors.
