Henry Richard Graves (1818–1882) "Portrait of a Boy in Kilt with Fishing Rod" c. 1860, O.O.C., approx. 55” x 39” (1) Dressed in a tailored brown suit, with jacket, white shirt, red cravat, waistcoat and kilt, a boy in his early teens prepares to go fishing. The boy stands before a high wooded bank, holding a fishing rod. To the left can be seen an extensive landscape, with mountains overlooking a river. Although the scene depicted has not been identified, and may be generic, it is can be read as a Scottish scene. In his right hand, the boy has the fishing hook held between thumb and forefinger. The kilt suggests a Scottish provenance, an idea reinforced by another related portrait, probably of the same boy, that shows him with a ‘Balmoral Bonnet’. Recent cleaning of this work has revealed the signature ‘Henry Graves’. Born in 1818, the portrait painter Henry Richard Graves was a successful portrait painter in London in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The son of Thomas North, 2nd Baron Graves and Lady Mary Paget, (sister of the Marquess of Anglesey), he initially worked as a clerk for the India Board. In 1843 he married Henrietta Wellesley, and soon after began to establish himself as a portrait painter, exhibiting over seventy works at the Royal Academy between 1846 and 1881. His clients including members of the Royal Family and the Aristocracy. Many of his sitters had connections with Ireland, and, as with this work, he was particularly adept at painting portraits of children: his 1850 portrait of the young Lady Florence Paget (1842–1881), later Marchioness of Hastings, is at Plas Newydd, while his portrait of Charles Stewart Vane-Tempest-Stewart, later 6th Marquess of Londonderry, painted a decade later, is at Mount Stewart. His 1873 portrait of Charlotte Marion Baird, Countess of Enniskillen, is at Florence Court, in Co. Fermanagh. Dr. Peter Murray 2025
