JOHN RUSSELL, RA (1744-1807) PORTRAIT OF RICHARD PALEY (1746-1808) half length in a brown coat seated at a table holding a letter and silver spectacles, signed and dated (upper right) J Russell RA Pinxit 1802, pastel, 75 x 62cm, in the original 18th gilt cavetto frame with on the reverse printed trade label of the carver and gilder [Joseph Hick ] 56 Mill Hill Leeds Picture Frame and Looking Glass Manufacturer and with printed notice LET THIS DIRECTION BE PRESERVED... Printed by W Smith King Street Seven Dials, London Provenance: Richard Paley`s daughter Sarah, the wife of Thomas Shaw Bancroft Reade and by descent in the family to J W Paley Reade of Ollerton Vicarage, Nottinghamshire by whom sold on 15th August 1920 for£200 (per Wright Barker, RBA) to the collector Samuel Walker Highley of Harrogate; Mrs Whittingham of Harrogate (by October 1951 according to the label on the backboard). Sold at auction on the premises The Old Hall Branham, Wetherby by Henry Spencer & Sons , 25 February 1976 (£210 to the present Vendor). Exhibited: Harrogate Art Gallery, Opening Exhibition 1930, loaned by S Highley Esq of Duchy Road, Harrogate. Russell made several painting tours to the north of England, spending a prolonged period in Leeds in 1801-2. Williamson observed that "he seems to have done more pictures in Leeds then anywhere else, and in that town, and in the neighbourhood, are still preserved a large number of his works, including some of his finest productions." Williamson, whose monograph was published, with a Catalogue of Russell portraits in 1894, did not know this beautifully preserved portrait by the leading English pastelist of the 18th century. Richard Paley (1746-1808) described by Professor Maurice Berresford as "a complete entrepreneur of his day" can be said to have begun the factory system in Leeds. A merchant and soap boiler, he built two steam powered cotton mills and speculated in land, buying up much of the east end of Leeds. He was born at Langcliffe near Settle, Yorkshire and was cousin of the theologian William Paley (1743-1805). Paley issued his own token coinage in 1791, the Conder Copper Halfpenny, featuring Bishop Blaize, the patron saint of woolcombers. At the time of the present portrait he was at the apogee of his success but was declared bankrupt the following year. A superb Russell pastel in a fine state of preservation, not offered from sale since acquisition by the present vendor
