  • 1838.06.23/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Dr. John Thomas, Lord Bishop of Rochester, Dean of Westminster, painted in the robes of the Bath This is one of the few pictures of which Sir Joshua left a manuscript memorandum, in his curious list of experiments; it is as follows: -- "1781. Bishop of Rochester, hands light R. and Verm. and Ultramarine." This picture is in his latest manner, in the full vigour of a long practice: he knew well how to express, by broad and vigorous touches, the individuality and reality of life.

  • 1838.06.23/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Group of Lord Clive and Family with a Malay Girl. This picture appears to have been painted in the year 1764, when Sir Joshua was in his 41st year, and previous to the second return of Lord Clice to India, and 20 years previous to the portrait of the Bishop of Rochester. It may be said to be an unequalled picture of this great master of portraiture. As an example of the care necessary to attain great excellence, this, above all the pictures of Sir Joshua Reynolds, is the most valuable to place in a national school. The exquisite care with which every minute object is painted, even to the flowered muslin of the Indian girl, the Indian gauze of the child, and the satin dress of the mother, to the finish of the ornaments and accessories; and, above all, the soul of truth and simplicity in the expression of the different heads and hands, while even the oily or smooth texture of the skin of the Malay, in contrast to that of the white, is not forgotten (Sir J.
