About the Item

An exceptional portrait of a Dutch girl by well known portraitist James Jebusa Shannon (1862-1923). Shannon was born in Auburn, New York, and traveled to England where he studied at the National Art Training School under Sir Edward Poynter. As Poynter's most gifted pupil, he received commissions from Queen Victoria in 1881 and 1882, and although he had intended to return to the United States, the success of his early works persuaded him to remain in London. During the mid 1880s, Shannon, together with his fellow American compatriot John Singer Sargent, dominated the field of British portraiture. Shannon's popularity was encouraged by the patronage of Violet Manners, later Marchioness of Granby, and he became the Manners family's favorite artist. Shannon was a prominent exhibitor at the Royal Academy, the Grosvenor Gallery, the New Gallery and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. He was a founder member of the New English Art Club in 1886, became a Royal Academician in 1909, was President of the Royal society of Portrait Painters from 1910-1923 and was knighted in 1922. This portrait was painted during a period when the artist was spending his summers at the Dutch art colony of Egmond aan Zee. While many of his usual sitters were people of wealth and elegance, this touching likeness represents his Dutch servant, Dirkje. Oil on canvas, monogrammed lower right, titled on verso Berry-Hill Gallery, New York label, and housed in a beautiful giltwood frame. Dimensions: 16.25 in h x 12 in w, actual; 24.5 in h x 20.5 in w x 3 in d, framed.
