Sir Thomas Lawrence P.R.A. (Bristol 1769-1830 London) Portrait of Caroline Upton, bust-length, in profile to the leftSir Thomas Lawrence P.R.A. (Bristol 1769-1830 London)Portrait of Caroline Upton, bust-length, in profile to the left pencil and black chalk on paper21.8 x 17.9cm (8 9/16 x 7 1/16in).ProvenanceThe Collection John M. SchiffSale, Sotheby's, London, 10 November 1994, lot 49Private Collection, UKThe present work has traditionally been identified as 'Mrs Fitzhugh', according to an erroneous inscription on the mount. However, the sitter is certainly Caroline Upton (d. 1862), second daughter of the 1st Baron Templeton, who married James Singleton in 1804. Following the death of Lawrence's lover, Sally, Mrs Siddons's eldest daughter, in 1803, he formed a close attachment to both the Upton sisters, Caroline and Sophia and painted both their portraits (see: K. Garlick, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Oxford, 1989, pp. 274-5, nos. 780, 781). A very similar drawing of Sally Siddons by Lawrence, also from the collection of John M. Schiff, was offered at Sotheby's, London 11 April 1991, lot 35.
