Painting Description
"Portrait of a Gentleman, Said to Be Lt. Col. Charles Richard Fox (1796-1873), Three-Quarter Length, Seated, in Uniform" is a 19th-century painting by the British artist Charles Landseer. The subject of the portrait is believed to be Lieutenant Colonel Charles Richard Fox, a British Army officer and the illegitimate son of Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland, and his mistress, Lady Webster. Born in 1796, Charles Richard Fox had a distinguished military career and later became a notable political figure and collector of antiquities.
Charles Landseer, the artist, was a prominent figure in the Victorian art world and the younger brother of the famous animal painter Sir Edwin Landseer. Charles Landseer was known for his historical scenes and portraits, and he became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1837, later being elected as a Royal Academician in 1845. His works were widely appreciated for their attention to detail and the ability to capture the character of his sitters.
The painting in question depicts Fox in a three-quarter length pose, seated and dressed in his military uniform, which suggests his pride in his military service and hints at his social status. The uniform itself may provide clues to the specific period and regimental affiliation of Fox's service. Landseer's skillful rendering of textures, from the fabric of the uniform to the accoutrements of military dress, is evident in this work.
While the painting is a significant piece of historical portraiture, reflecting both the artistic style of the period and the social milieu of the sitter, the attribution of the subject as Charles Richard Fox is prefaced with "said to be," indicating that there may be some uncertainty or lack of definitive proof regarding the identity of the sitter. This could be due to a lack of documentation or provenance, a common issue with historical artworks.
As a work of art, "Portrait of a Gentleman, Said to Be Lt. Col. Charles Richard Fox" is an important example of Charles Landseer's portraiture and provides insight into the representation of military figures in Victorian England. It also contributes to the understanding of the social and cultural context of the era, as well as the personal history of the presumed sitter, Lt. Col. Charles Richard Fox.
