An English portrait miniature of Lord Kenyon, an 18th-century barrister ( 1732–1802). Data on reverse reveals that he was “Attorney General 1782/Master of the Rolls 1784/Chief Justice 1788/Kings Bench.“ Sitter wears judicial wig and an elaborate black robe trimmed with gold braid. The background is brown. The portrait has the sobriety of a larger painting and thus may be a copy. The portrait was originally set in a severely distressed papier-mâché frame but has been re-framed to incorporate the original brass bezel topped by a crown. Feel free to ask questions.
JOHN HERBERT CADDY (1801-1883) ORIGINAL OIL ON BOARD PAINTING 1816 ANTIQUE For sale is an original painting titled; the frigate “Nereide”, by John Herbert Caddy.

After a long military career he retired in 1851, settling in Hamilton, Ontario (Upper Canada).

Caddy was a painstaking artist who worked slowly and carefully from pencil sketches made on the scene, through sepia drafts, to the finished picture.

He exhibited water-colors and oils in the annual provincial exhibitions from 1858 to 1868, winning awards for his meticulous landscapes, marines, and animal and flower studies. From 1858 to 1868, he exhibited water colors and oil paintings at the Upper Canada Provincial Exhibitions (UCEP).
