Portrait of Lady Oakeley, née Helena Beatson (1762-1839) Watercolour and bodycolour on ivory, gold frame, with diamond border;signed with the artist's monogram and dated lower left: J.S. / 1786 / I. 62 by 45 mm. Helena Beatson was the only daughter of Robert Beatson of Killerie, Fife, Scotland. She grew up to be artistically talented, charming and admired by her contemporaries. The novelist Fanny Burney (1752-1840) recalled, for example, that ‘she is not absolutely handsome yet infinitely attractive... She is sensible, smart, quick and comical…a most astonishing genius though never taught. She groups figures of children in the most ingenious, playful and beautiful sanity of attitudes and employment …' In 1775, she sailed to India with her aunt, the pastel painter Katherine Read (1723-1778) and in 1777 she married Charles Oakeley of the East India Company (see the previous lot). |
