Portrait probably of Charles Fraser (1799-1868); head and shoulders, looking half-right. Artist(s): Dickinson, Lowes Cato (1819-1908)
- Scope & Content:
-
Portrait probably of Charles Fraser (1799-1868); head and shoulders, looking half-right. 1847.
Inscribed on front in pencil: ‘Lowes Dickinson fecit 1847’; on back in ink by Mrs. Claire Fraser: ‘William Fraser (son of Colonel Charles Fraser) killed in the Mutiny.’
Pastel on brown paper; 22.5 by 17.25 ins.
Note: Since William Fraser, son of Lieut.-Colonel Charles Fraser, died in 1825, Mrs. Claire Fraser's inscription is clearly mistaken. The portrait is more probably of Charles Fraser (1799-1868), elder brother of William and of Simon (see WD2226 above) and like the latter a member of the Company's service. He was on leave from 1844 to 1847 when he retired, having joined the service in 1816. Assistant to Commissioner in the Narbada Territories 1818; Principal Assistant to the Agent to the Governor-General, Saugor and Narbada Territories 1821; Officiating Agent to the Governor-General, Saugor and Narbada Territories 1828; Commissioner of the Saugor and Narbada Territories and Agent of the Governor-General 1838.
