![*[Radcliffe, Ann, 1764-1823]. 'Mrs Radcliffe Authoress of the Mysteries of Udolpho', circa 1830, watercolour on paper, portr](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/2eb3dfff-c50e-4326-b646-a625012bde72/c618e942-d819-4c20-9a28-8275ec08b9bc/468x382.jpg)

*[Radcliffe, Ann, 1764-1823]. 'Mrs Radcliffe Authoress of the Mysteries of Udolpho', circa 1830, watercolour on paper, portrait of a woman identified in ink with a contemporary inscription as above to lower margin, half-length, half facing left, wearing a pink and white bonnet with deep dark ringlets protruding over her forehead, pink scarf and white dress, holding a document with red seal in her right hand, Bristol Paper embossed stamp lower left, 230 x 180mm (9 x 7 ins), verso blank, tipped onto a contemporary album leaf at corners A very sensitive and intriguing watercolour by an unidentified artist, with great care and detail given to the face and strongly suggesting this was done from life. There is no known portrait from life of the author Ann Radcliffe and its attribution as her appears spurious for a number of reasons. The Bristol Paper stamp was introduced in 1800 and that and the age of the paper are consistent with the early 19th century. The woman appears to be aged 30 to 40, which if of Ann Radcliffe from life would date this to between 1794 and 1804. The hair and dress are completely wrong for this early date and these features indicate a date of perhaps the late 1820s; the waist on the dress is still above the natural waistline and the sleeves have yet to become as exaggerated as they become in the 1830s. Mrs Radcliffe was supposed to be small-proportioned while this sitter seems to be big-featured and broad-shouldered. Mrs Radcliffe had blue eyes and brown hair and a nose 'inclining to aquiline', all of which could be interpreted as true in this portrait. The document held by the sitter is indeterminate and in a portrait of Mrs Radcliffe one would expect here to be holding a novel, or something at least more romantic. One of the founders of Gothic literature, Ann Radcliffe's most famous novel and for which she is lastingly famous, The Mysteries of Udolpho, was published in 1794. The only known image we have of Mrs Radcliffe is an imaginary portrait dated to 1853, some 30 years after her death, which appeared in J.S Pratt's edition of The Romance of the Forest. Provenance: From an album of prints and watercolours compiled by Sir Theodore Martin (see lot XXX). There is no evidence that Theodore Martin or his wife, the noted actress Helen Faucit, met or knew Ann Radcliffe, nor does the inscription on the watercolour appear to be in either of their hands. How it came to be in Sir Theodore Martin's possession and why he chose to keep this in this album without any additional notes or remarks isn't obvious. Certainly, there were no other watercolours or drawings in the album that were remotely related or in the same hand. The portrait is the work of a highly skilled artist in the manner of Andrew Plimer and other similar miniaturists and portraitists of the period and for the artist not to sign this at all is another mystery.
