About the Item

This charming British portrait oil painting is by noted artist Richard Evelyn Fuller-Maitland. Painted in 1916, the composition is a full length portrait of a young boy, dressed in a sailor's uniform and holding his hat. He is leaning against a tree in a wooded landscape. The blonde haired young boy is looking directly at the artist/viewer and smiling and one wonders if it is the artist's son in the grounds of Stansted Hall, Essex. The detail in the little boy's face and brushwork generally are superb. This is a lovely British portrait oil painting and an excellent example of the artist's work. Signed and dated Richard E. F. Maitland /1916 lower right. Provenance. Bears label for 'J. J. PATRICKSON' attached to the reverse of the frame. Condition. Oil on canvas, 30 inches by 22 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt frame, 37 inches by 29 inches and in good condition. Richard Evelyn Fuller Maitland (British 1885-1953). Artist and Soldier, Maitland was the son of the art collector and Liberal politician William Fuller Maitland (1884–1932), of Stansted Hall, Essex. William Maitland had inherited from his own father an important collection of early Italian paintings, nine of which he sold to the National Gallery, London, in 1878, including 'The Mystic Nativity' by Botticelli [no.NG1034]. Educated at Harrow School, Richard Maitland went on to study at Sir Hubert Herkomer’s Art School, Bushey, Hertfordshire. He also pursued a part-time military career, gaining the rank of captain in the Scots Guards. Essentially a gentleman-artist, Maitland exhibited twice at the Royal Academy, in 1904 and in 1921, when he showed a portrait of a judge, Edwin Max Konstam. His known oeuvre is small and includes 'A Mediterranean Scene' (Bushey Museum and Art Gallery, 2004.108.1), a portrait of Sir Frederick Liddell, First Parliamentary Counsel, dated 1913 (Government Art Collection, no.1203) and two portraits of senior members of the Admiralty. Also in 1913, Magdalene College, Cambridge, commissioned a sketch from Maitland of Thomas Hardy, then aged seventy-two.
