Artist unknown :[Portrait of Almon Boulcott, between 1851 and 1853]Alexander Turnbull Library Half-length seated portrait of a bearded man in evening dress with a bow tie. The subject appears to be in young middle age. Wairarapa artist William Beetham has been suggested as a likely artist for this work. It may have been painted in England, when Boulcott returned to visit his parents, 1851-1853, before the artist, William Beetham, left Yorkshire for New Zealand in 1855. Almon Boulcott arrived in New Zealand in 1842 on the `Mary Ann' His farm at the Hutt was the centre of fighting with Maori in 1846. One of his sons was also called Almon Boulcott, but this portrait appears more probably to be Boulcott senior Other Titles - Beetham, William, 1809-1888 Inscriptions: Verso - on stretcher 'For New Zealand, Almon Boulcott' Quantity: 1 oil(s). Physical Description: Oil painting on canvas, 920 x 710 mm Provenance: The inscription on the back of the stretcher 'For New Zealand / Almon Boulcott' suggests that Boulcott brought the painting with him on his return to New Zealand in 1853. |
