Provenance: - Auction Christie's, London; 20th of November 1931, lot 132 (with image), auctioned as: Portrait William Layman; - Auction Parke Bernet, New York; September 1943, lot 251 (Image 173) as William Beechey: Portrait of a Gentleman; - Private Collection New York; Mr. and Mrs Mark Lulinsky; - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; As a loan from January 1958 until Februar 1964 with an attribution to Joshua Reynolds: Portrait of Frederick, Viscount Duncannon; - Private Collection Northrhine Westphalia. possibly, but less certainly, the body. The background is equally certainly not Lawrence. Dr. Kenneth Garlick, english art historian and author of the catalogue raisonnee of paintings by Thomas Lawrence, made a comment about this work in a letter written to the former owner of this painting: "... I think the portrait is the work of two hands. The head seem to be to an early Lawrence -1795 - 1805- and possibly, but less certainly, the body. The background is equally certainly not Lawrence. Nor I think, are the table, book, etc. Lawrence began and did not finish, a number of portraits. ..." zwischen 1788 und 1800 entspricht der modischen Auffassung des Dargestellten. Seine William Layman served until 1788 in the Navy before he was employed in the following years by the East India Company. Mainly he was responsable for the trading with China.We think that this painting can be dated about 1795. William Layman was a friend of Admiral Nelson and soon after 1800 he worked again for the Royal Navy. Layman commanded a ship as Captain which tragically ran aground and sank. He ended his life in 1830. Dating the painting between 1788 and 1800 corresponds to the fashion style of the portrayed. His clothing in 'buff and blue' indicates his sympathy for the Whig Party. It is likely that the church's spire in the background belongs to the St. Pauls Cathedral. Further a ship is lying in the dry dock. These local circumstances speak for the location of the warehouse of the East India Company in the area of the upper Thames. The presented attributes in the painting lead to the conclusion that the old attribution of Christie's in 1931 being a portray of William Layman is correct. Expertise: Letter of Kenneth Garlick, Oxford 17th of February 1997.

Provenienz: - Auktion Christie's, London; 20.November 1931, lot 132 (Abb.) versteigert als William Beechey: Portrait William Layman - Auktion Parke Bernet, New York; September 1943, lot 251 (Abb. 173) als William Beechey: Portrait of a Gentleman; - Privatsammlung New York; Mr. and Mrs Mark Lulinsky; - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Als Leihgabe von Januar 1958 bis Februar 1964 mit einer Zuschreibung an Joshua Reynolds: Portrait des Frederick, Viscount Duncannon; - Privatsammlung NRW. Zum Gemälde äußert sich der Werkverzeichnisverfasser zu Thomas Lawrence der englische Kunsthistoriker Dr. Kenneth Garlick in einem Brief an den ehemaligen Eigentümer des Gemälde: ''... I think the portrait is the work of two hands. The head seem to be to an early Lawrence -1795 - 1805- and possibly, but less certainly, the body. The background is equally certainly not Lawrence. Nor I think, are the table, book, etc. Lawrence began and did not finish , a number of portraits. ...'' Der Brite William Layman diente bis 1788 bei der Navy, bevor er in den folgenden Jahren bei der East India Company angestellt wurde. Seine Zuständigkeit betraf vor allem den China Handel. Wir glauben, dass das Gemälde aus der Zeit um 1795 stammt. William Layman ist mit Admiral Nelson befreundet und bald nach 1800 wird er wiederum für die britische Marine tätig. Layman kommandiert als Captain ein Schiff, welches tragischer Weise aufläuft und sinkt. Er beendet sein Leben 1830. Der Entstehungszeit des Gemälde zwischen 1788 und 1800 entspricht der modischen Auffassung des Dargestellten. Seine Kleidung in 'buff and blue' lassen eine Sympathie zur Whig Party vermuten. Im Hintergrund ist wohl die Spitze der St. Pauls Cathedral zu sehen - darüberhinaus liegt ein Schiff im Trockendock. Der Ort könnte also ein Lagerhaus der East India Company in der Gegend der Upper Thames sein. Die im Gemälde aufgeführten Attribute lassen den Schluss zu, dass die alte, von Christie's 1931 namentliche Zuschreibung des Portraits als William Layman richtig ist. Expertise: Brief von Kenneth Garlick, Oxford vom 17. Februar 1997. Provenienz: Europäische Privatsammlung.
