This old antique original oil painting was originally purchased fromBonhams and they have attributed this magnificent oil painting to William Owen (1769-1825). Other provenance iswith Marshall Field & Company, Chicago, Illinois based on remnants of a label on the back of the frame. Additionally, this sale comes with a 9\" by 7\", 1925 black and white photograph of this painting. On the back of this photograph, there is scholarly writingstatingthat this painting was done by William Owen, with other comments about this painting and Owen\'s biography.Let me begin by writing,I am extremely apprehensive about offering this painting without ahigh reserve... and I am even more apprehensive offering it with only a .77 opening offer! The reason is because if you have ever beentoANY museum in the world that houses 19th century and earlier oil paintings, then you probably know that this is apainting that one would expect to see hanging on ANY of these museums\' walls! Most paintings with this age and qualityare locked up in museums where they probably won\'t see the light of day again!If you read my opening,this paintingwas most likely done by William Owen (1769-1825)... and it also appears to bean exceptionally great example of his work! The sitter, here, is abeautiful young girl, perhaps on the brink of womanhood. She is wearing an elegant dress, while having a flower in one hand and a King Charles Spaniel dog on her lap.Thepair\'s expressions aresuperbly rendered, which adds an unforgettable glowing warmth and charmto the painting thatcan be felt by the viewer!William Owen is one the most important portrait painters in history. During his career, hereceivedcommissionsfromaristocrats and royalty, including being appointed portrait painter to the Prince of Wales, later George IV (1762–1830).Today,Owen\'s paintings are inmanymajor museums\' permanent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art,The Museum of Fine Arts Boston and London\'s National Portrait Gallery.Owen\'s paintings are extremely sought after by collectors! To date, they have been soldbyseveral major sale houses, including Christie\'s, Sotheby\'s and Bonhams!Since this painting is not signed, I am only attributing this painting to Owen. I believe if you look at this painting\'s age and quality, the evidence speaks for itself!
If you are unfamiliar withWilliam Owen, I would like to share his biography fromWikipedia with you:
BIOGRAPHY:
William Owen (1769-1825)\"William Owen (1769-1825) was an English portrait painter known for his portraits of society figures such as Pitt the Younger and George, Prince of Wales (later King George IV).William Owen was born at 13 Broad Street, Ludlow, Shropshire in 1769 and was baptised on 3 November in Ludlow Parish Church. Owen\'s father, Jeremiah Owen, had trained for the church but instead chose to follow in his father\'s profession and took over the family barber shop which he later expanded into a stationary and bookshop. Owen found his talent at a young age, and would frequently be found sketching the scenery of his surrounding area, his first identifiable work being a drawing of Ludlow Castle, which is thought to have been given to Margaret Maskelyne, Lady Clive (1735-1817).In 1786 Owen moved to London, where he was apprenticed to the coach painter Charles Cotton, RA (1728–1798).This position was most likely arranged by his uncle, who was butler to the scholar and art theorist Richard Payne Knight, who lived near Ludlow. It appears that Owen was drawn to figure painting from the outset, and after copying a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds of the much admired actress Mary Robinson (better known as \'Perdita\'),he was sent on the recommendation of Reynolds to the Royal Academy Schools in 1791.By 1794 Owen had moved out of his lodgings with Cotton on Gate Street and into a new to studio at No.211 Piccadilly where he remained for two years before moving to No.5 Coventry Street, Haymarket. It is whilst living here that he presumably came into contact with future wife Lener Leaf, whose father worked in Haymarket as a shoe maker.By 1797 Owen was working as a studio assistant to John Hoppner, who by this point was struggling to keep up with the demand for copies of his portraits.Owen was clearly also experiencing some success in his own right, for in the same year he painted Lener, along with her younger sister, and exhibited the portrait at Somerset House – the then location of Royal Academy exhibitions, receiving a great deal of praise and encouragement.Owen married Lener later that year on 2 December and their son William was born soon after.In 1800 Owen and his family moved to Pimlico, although choosing to maintain his recently acquired studio at No.51 Leicester Square, next door to the house in which Sir Joshua Reynolds lived. This remained Owen\'s studio until he became too ill and moved out in 1818.The year 1797/8 was perhaps the most significant in Owen’s career as a painter; in 1797 he painted the then Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger which he exhibited the following year along with a portrait of the Lord Chancellor Alexander Wedderburn.In 1810 following the death of John Hoppner (1758–1810), Owen was appointed portrait painter to the Prince of Wales, later George IV (1762–1830). Unfortunately the prince never gave a sitting and instead Owen had to rely on a number of head sketches by his predecessor Hoppner to create a likeness. In 1813 Owen was offered a knighthood however he declined.In 1818 William Owen left his house in Pimlico and his studio in Leicester Square and moved to Bruton Street, most probably due to his slowly decreasing health, his eagerness however remained unscathed and he exhibited eight works at the Royal Academy the following year. In 1819 Owen travelled to Bath to meet a respectable man of medicine named Mr Hicks, however this seemed to have no positive effect and he soon returned to London. By 1820 Owen was confined to his bed where, with the exception of a brief six months spent in Chelsea towards the end of 1824, he remained until his death five years later.In 1825 Owen died after being accidentally poisoned by an overdose of \'Barclay\'s Drops\' – a mixture of aniseed, camphor and opium. Owen was very ill at the time, being confined to his bedroom and unable to move his limbs, relying on a draught medicine to aid his recovery. When the draught ran out his cook was sent to fetch another bottle, along with a bottle of Barclay\'s Drops, however the chemist labelled the two bottles wrong and as a result Owen took a fatal dose of the opium based medicine, dying hours later. At the inquest on 13 March 1825 the following verdict was reached by the jury.That the deceased, Mr. Wm. Owen, Esq,. died from taking a large quantity of Barclays drops; the bottle containing that liquid having been negligently and incautiously labelled, by the person who prepared the medicine as an opening draught, such as the said Mr. Owen had been in the habit of taking and that we understand the above lamented mistake took place at the house of Mr. Smith, a chymist and druggist in the Haymarket.Owen was buried on 19 March 1825 at Saint Lukes, Chelsea, in a private ceremony attended by family and close friends, including; Sir Thomas Lawrence, Sir Richard Westmacott, Thomas Phillips and \'Thompson\' – most probably Thomas Clement Thompson.\"ITEM DESCRIPTION:
