Notes
  • about the identification of the sitter : "This previously unpublished picture by Daniel Gardner of the remarkable Anne Damer is an important addition to the iconography of this highly unusual artist, generally regarded as England’s foremost female sculptor of the 18th century. The present portrait (...) is clearly of Anne Damer. Her facial features, particularly her long aquiline nose, are highly recognizeable. But so too of course is the sculpted head with which she is posed. This is a clay model for one of her sculptures “A Daughter of Niobe”, on which she worked around 1780 or 1781. These dates must also give us the parameter dates for our portrait." (Bagshawe Fine Art)
  • about the attribution : "This present painting is unfinished and therefore unsigned. Indeed Gardner would only rarely sign his work, but this painting is clearly by his hand. The small scale of the picture is consistent with Gardner’s proclivities, and two particular features of his work are very visible: the luxuriant loose handling of Damer’s hair, identical to many of his works in gouache, and also the slight awkwardness with which he handles the anatomy of her fingers. Further, Gardner and Damer knew each other well as Gardner was the chosen artist (probably chosen by Damer, in fact) for his remarkable picture of her as one of The Three Witches (now in the National Portrait Gallery, London)."
