Description |
English: Captain Sir Richard Pearson, 1731-1806 A three-quarter-length portrait of traditional 'kit-cat' size (36 x 28 inches). Pearson sits to the to the left in captain's (over three years) full-dress uniform 1774-87 with a tie wig, and a sword visible on the right. As a lieutenant in the East Indies he did well during the Seven Years War, where he was severely wounded. He was subsequently unable to obtain a commission because his senior officers twice died before they could fulfil their promises. He finally obtained post rank as a captain in 1773. In 1779, in command of the 'Serapis', 44 guns, and escorting a large convoy from the Baltic, he was attacked off Flamborough Head by an American rebel squadron under John Paul Jones in the 'Bonhomme Richard', 42 guns. This famous action ended in Pearson surrendering the 'Serapis' to Jones but not before his spirited defence had covered the escape of the valuable convoy. For this reason he was considered a hero. He was knighted, received presents from the merchants and the freedoms of several towns. This portrait was painted soon after this famous action and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1780, when it was also engraved in mezzotint by James Watson, and published by Boydell on 1 November 1780 as a pair with Grignion's portrait of Captain George Farmer (exh. RA 1778: Farmer had heroically died in action commanding the 'Quebec' against the French 'Surveillante' in 1779, see BHC0426). In 1800 Pearson became Lieutenant-Governor of Greenwich Hospital in succession to Captain William Locker. Grignion (1753-1804) was the son of Thomas Grignion, a London mathematician and watchmaker. As a child his drawing attracted the attention of Reynolds and in 1765 he obtained a premium from the Society of Arts, before becoming a pupil of Cypriani at 13. Two years later the Society awarded him a silver palette for the best drawing of the human figure. In 1769 he entered the Royal Academy schools, won a gold medal there in 1776 and was sent on an Academy pension to study in Rome in 1781. He remained in Italy for the rest of his life as an artist, guide to Grand Tourists and art dealer, but also sent back work for exhibition at the Academy including a 'Death of Captain Cook' in 1783. Nelson sat to him for a drawn portrait at Palermo in 1799, (see PAF4381) and he also painted the Hamiltons. He died and was buried at Leghorn in November 1804. He is sometimes referred to as 'junior', distinguishing him from his uncle Charles Grignion (d. 1810), an engraver, as was another relative, Reynolds Grignion (d. 1787). |
