Portrait of Mrs. William Wilberforce and Child (by John Linnell)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: John Linnell (British 1792 - 1882)

Portrait of Mrs. William Wilberforce and Child

signed and dated J Linnell fecit 1824 lower right

oil on panel

Unframed: 32.5 by 26.5cm., 12¾ by 10½in.

The present work depicts Mary Frances Wilberforce née Owen. Her father was John Owen, Secretary of the Bible Society at Harrow. She married William Wilberfoce (1798-1897), the eldest son of the philanthropist and abolitionist of slavery, William Wilberforce (1759-1833). The child is probably her son, William, born on 6 December 1821. Linnell’s introduction to the Wilberforce family was probably through George Stephen. Stephen was a relative of the sitters and also an early patron of the artist (Patrick Noon, English Portrait Drawings and Miniatures, 1979, p. 101).

The same year, Linnell painted another version, in watercolor and bodycolour over pencil, with some scraping out, on a scored gesso ground on panel, which is now in the Paul Mellon Collection. The present work has been untraced since it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1824.
