EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Lucy Lawrence, the artist's mother, a sketch" offers a glimpse into the intimate world of Thomas Lawrence. Painted in 1797 with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 76.3 x 63.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Lucy Lawrence, depicted here with utmost tenderness by her son Thomas, exudes an air of grace and elegance. The artist's skillful brushstrokes capture every detail of her countenance – from the gentle curve of her cheek to the soft lines around her eyes. Lucy wears a bonnet that adds an air of modesty to her appearance while emphasizing her maternal warmth. The inscription on the painting reveals its poignant backstory: Lucy passed away in May 1797 after suffering from a paralytic attack. In memory of his beloved mother, Thomas gifted this touching portrayal to Anne Bloxam. The label further indicates that it was painted during Lucy's final days on her deathbed. This print allows us to appreciate not only Thomas Lawrence's artistic talent but also his deep emotional connection with his subject matter. Through this portrait, we catch a fleeting glimpse into their shared history and feel the profound love between mother and son. As we admire this remarkable work of art captured by eChristies Images for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect upon our own relationships and cherish those dear to us as dearly as Thomas cherished his mother Lucy.
