  • 1832.07.24/ maison de ventes : Robins (Henry J. & George Henry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Portrait of Alexander Pope, seated in his study, Mrs. Martha Blount, introduced, on tiptoe, reaching a book from a shelf The poet is represented as in a pleasing reverie, and the intended personification of the composition, may imply, that this fair and accomplished lady was the subject of his waking dream. The generally received impression of Pope's visage is certainly not prepossessing; yet, unless the painter in this instance was a flatterer, we may feel asssured that the countenance of this illustrious genius, and the bosom friend of the artist, was pleasing in the extreme. It is probable that the picture was painted con-amore, and at a time when Pope was on a visit to Jervas; as occasionally, even for months together, they were inseparable: their pursuits, indeed were congenial, for the painter was often a poet, and the poet as frequently a painter; some of the most interesting and sprightly letters of the age, which have been preserved, upon these, their unprofessional amusements, were between these two persons, each so eminent in their day (Jervas)|Portrait of Alexander Pope, seated in his study, Mrs. Martha Blount, introduced, on tiptoe, reaching a book from a shelf The poet is represented as in a pleasing reverie, and the intended personification of the composition, may imply, that this fair and accomplished lady was the subject of his waking dream.
