Portraits of Andrew Grote and his wife Isabella. c.1832-34.
30 by 26 ins (76 by 66 cms)
Presented by Miss E.B. Collins, 1956
Both portraits were probably painted by the same artist while the Grotes were on leave in England 1832-34. The donor attributed the portraits to Thomas Stewardson (1781-1859), who painted a portrait of George Grote, the historian, in 1824. Stewardson was a pupil of Romney and painted Queen Caroline. He exhibited at the Royal Academy every year between 1803 and 1825. The attribution, however, is improbable.
