专家说明

This painting by Mulready has enjoyed a colourful provenance. It was painted for Sir John Swinburne, 6th Bt. (1762-1860) of Capheaton Hall, near Wallington, Northumberland, a keen patron of the artist, with whom he shared an interest in boxing. Mulready painted portraits of a number of Swinburne’s family and taught his children to paint. Swinburne was MP for Launceston, a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Society of Antiquaries.

A subsequent owner of the painting was Sir Charles Tennant, 1st Bt. (1823-1906), a Scottish businessman who became President of the United Alkali Company and Chairman of the Union Bank of Scotland. He also sat as MP for Glasgow (from 1879 to 1880) and for Peebles and Selkirk (from 1880 to 1886). His daughter Margot was the second wife of Prime Minister Herbert Asquith and a prominent member of the intellectual circle known as ‘The Souls’.
