Eden Upton Eddis (British 1812-1901) Portrait of William Courtenay, Margaretta and Charles William Morland Oil on canvas 160 x 190cm (62 x 74¾ in.) Provenance: Property of the Morland Family, Court Lodge, Kent Painted in 1854. William Courtenay Morland was the son of Colonel Charles Morland and Lady Caroline Eustatia Courtenay. William married Margaretta Eliza Cator in 1843 and inherited the estate from his uncle William Alexander Morland in 1847. They had three children, Caroline, who died in infancy, Charles, pictured in current portrait and a younger brother Henry. William Courtenay Morland made significant alterations to Court Lodge during his tenure as well as continually improving and growing the land and farms on the estate. He and his family were an integral part of the Lamberhurst community and from the historical information available, he comes across as an industrious innovator but also a deeply caring and community minded Victorian squire. Condition Report: Relined. Light craquelure and surface dirt throughout. Some light rubbing to the framing edges.
