Description
A very interesting group of three oil portraits on board depicting three members of the Thornton family of Brockhall Hall in Northamptonshire. The portraits are beautifully observed in exquisite detail. The father of the group is Thomas Reeve Thornton 1775-1862 who was a decorated soldier and original owner of Brockhall Hall which can be seen in the background of the work. His son is the Reverend William Thornton 1806-1881, who is seated working in the library. The final work is the daughter of Thomas, Eleanor Thorton 1809-1896, who is beautifully dressed, standing by a window. The combination of people gives a likely date for the paintings of around 1840. The three are all in excellent condition, with the odd minor mark and touching in. The group are all mounted in early twentieth century frames and it is likely this is when they when the works were cleaned and reframed. The three paintings have a wonderful history and country house presence, having almost certainly been commissioned for Brockhall Hall in Northamptonshire. Overall sizes in inches each, including frames: 14 ½ by 16 ¼
